YSK: US Senate offices pay attention to how many constituents are calling them on a topic. Democracy doesn't end at the ballot box
  • Being aware of local and state government is always a good thing to do and so much stuff is streamed since Covid. It makes you an informed voter and it's where most of the stuff that impacts you will take place. Marijuana is one example of the impact of state law winning out despite federal law.

    Reach out in any form you choose. Get to know them and what they stand for through their actions. Explain how things will effect you and people you know. Like anywhere else being an asshole is not the way to go. You might not change their mind but reminding them that everyday voters are paying attention has an effect even if you respectfully disagree.

  • Is "Red Storm Rising" by Tom Clancy considered a good book? Because I read it, and I'm not sure it should be.
  • The old school Rainbow Six games were my gateway drug to the book.

    The plot is essentially "what if tree huggers went batshit and weaponized a virus" so take that for what you will but the training and operations in that book were facinating to me. I saw it as world building for one of my favorite games of the time

  • Why are so many cleaning products lemon scented?
  • Lemon and orange are the easiest scents to achieve from a chemistry standpoint. It probably complements the base smell of a product easier.

    Fun fact A professor once told us that a molecule's chirality can make a diffeence. For example Limonene can either smell like pine or oranges depending on what way the molecule is mirrored.

  • Is there a word, phrase, or trope for an idea that gets more popular the more it fails?
  • It can be a thing for more skilled labor jobs. You csn be just okay at say.... running machine shop equipment. You break more stuff and make more blem parts than most of the people in the shop. But it seems like you have a grasp on the overall processes and can type well.

    Boom now you're not working on machines but managing machinists. Ordering what they need, stat tracking, scheduling, product contracts etc.

    Riding, Riding Up to the Old Inn Door

    Bing/Dalle Prompt: Dramatic concept art. A dark cold night with a small moon covered by clouds. Wind in the trees. A moonlit purple moor with a road. A man rides his horse on the road. French cut hat, lace at his chin. Rapier and pistols twinkle in the dim light. Rides up towards a distant old inn door. Ghostly fog.

    Inspired by one of my favorite poems
