The Book of Mormon is a wild ride.

I once worked for a big corporation that makes hydraulic rescue tools, where management somehow failed to grasp that the chief selling point of these tools is that they do the job reliably every time. No firefighter wants to be trying to get someone out of a car like, "Damnit! The cutter is acting up again. We should probably look into that."

But the executives kept demanding that we add "features" to the tools that effectively compromised the reliability and then got all surprised Pikachu face when it was explained to them that the customers thought the tools were overpriced half-assed garbage.

I guess my point is I've seen plenty of incredibly stupid examples of management ignoring the engineers and yet somehow Musk demanding that radar be scrapped in favor of cameras is right at the top of the list. Especially if you want your customers to live long enough to buy your products more than once.

"I think your little dog looks tasty. It's literally the only reason I'm here right now."

There are usually way more polling locations open on election day than during early voting. They set up polling at churches, schools, and community centers all over.

During early voting I have to go to the courthouse which is in the next town over. There aren't any polling places in my city.

Some of them get angry when their pastor quotes ~~Liberal talking points~~ Jesus in church in Sunday.

Definitely not the brightest bulbs on the Christmas tree.

"Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way."

I haven't read that book since high school. Probably about time to read it again.

What about double barreled shotguns? Those are each going to require two fingers. I'm beginning to think the creators of this change.org petition haven't really thought this through.

It's called an elephant gun because it's for shooting elephants. Not because it's the size of an elephant. There is no way a horses hoof or an elephants trunk will fit in the barrel of a gun thats less than ~~an inch~~ a single freedom unit in diameter.

But you know what will? A finger. You're just going to want to shove it in their really good because those cartridges pack a punch.

Oh wait, wrong Dax.

This brings new meaning to the phrase, "Paddle faster. I hear banjos."

Reddit was never "mainstream social media". Annecdotally, I have heard more people referring to Reddit in casual conversation so maybe it is becoming more widely accepted.

If that's true, then I still have no regrets about leaving. If I wanted to look at a news feed full of hot garbage I would have stayed on Facebook.

How dare you ...exercise your civic duty.

I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult although I've demonstrated clear symptoms since early childhood. I manage pretty well with medication.

I tend to "fidget" a lot throughout the day with involuntary movements that tend to vary periodically for reasons that I've never understand. Sometimes it's popping my ears or clenching my jaw. Sometimes it's "popping" my toes, bouncing my leg, or snapping my fingers, etc.

Recently, my wife told me something that I did not know. Apparently I do the same sort of involuntary movements at night to the point that it wakes me up. She said it's been going on for years. I honestly had no idea. It kind of fits the description of "Periodic Limb Movement Disorder." There are some theories that "PLMD" can be a comorbidity with ADHD although the research on this is pretty sparse.

Has anyone else experienced this sort of thing and are there any viable treatment options?

I've seen several big chains, mostly gas stations and fast food, advertising "daily pay". If you are worried about how you're going to make it until your next paycheck, whether it's tomorrow or next month, or you have no savings to cover any sort of emergency, then you live paycheck-to-paycheck.

Don't be fooled. "Daily Pay" is just a shitty attempt at avoiding paying better wages by giving you your shitty wages faster. It's designed to benefit the company, not you.

Edit: If you don't get to hold on to your pay check long enough to earn interest on any of it, then getting paid daily is not benefiting you.
