The legal manual I was given to read to get my Florida concealed carry license is *bonkers*. It's full of first person subjective opinions, and reads like a stream-of-thought diatribe from a terrible lawyer. Here are some gems:

"There are some limitations on where you can carrying[sic] concealed. Some of these make good sense, some do not."

"Having a Concealed Weapons License is the smartest thing anyone can do"

"It means you are not criminally liable for driving through a school zone with a firearm!"

"Of course, there are no cases interpreting this facet [...] and therefore, even though I am totally confident in my opinion, if you want to be safe, stick to the weapons listed."

"get arrested because somebody on the government side is too chicken to stand up against possible adverse publicity"

"If you don't think there are forces out there that would love to see you disarmed, and easy prey for everything and everybody -- you better start getting educated, because the battle is raging around you, every single day."

"I would consider an arrest under these circumstances to be unlawful."

"I gotta leave my protection home because some damn Mouse is anti-gun?"

FFS. He literally bragged on tape to journalists about his crimes.

It's insane that this is the level of evidence it takes to indict rich white men in America.

What the fuck? #Walmart has a sponsored ad for a Trump 2020 flag when looking at the listing for a pride flag.

Got my #MagicLeap2 glasses today and... they are awful. Really pathetic.

I'm seeing a lot of differing opinions from the #LGBTQ Mastodon community about Pat Robertson dying.

While I certainly have no sympathy for the man, I find it absolutely grotesque how many people are going out of their way to celebrate his death.

Relief and indifference are acceptable responses. But if a human being dying elates you, you might be due for some serious introspection, because that seems to me to be the first step down a very dark path.

To dehumanize our enemies is to become them.

Today, I survived one in-person meeting, two online meetings, and got through 50+ pages of dense, technical federal regulations.

Let me tell you something: I *earned* this bowl of ice cream.

A #sunset #rainbow in #Florida for #pride month.

This took well over a dozen iterations to get it just how I liked it, but the tiny size helped me iterate quickly. Now, though, it's perfect. The LED easily slides right in, the legs lock into their grooves, and the holder snaps easily and securely into the panel it needs to be on. This will make installing the LEDs onto the actual build much easier.

WTF? I bought a lifetime fishing license and now the state is telling me that it will expire and I have to renew it after 200 years. 🙄 What a ripoff.

That's a relief.

This has got to be the highest engineering-to-volume thing I've ever worked on. It's a holder for an LED that's meant to easily snap into a dashboard. So, it's got a slot for the LED, slots for its connectors, a retaining ring, and two clips.

All for something that's barely a centimeter across!

My takeaway from this story is that people are flocking to a desert that's running out of water and maybe, just maybe, they shouldn't do that?
