Theyre designed for keeping the heat off you while youre sedentary, butI dont think theyre great for doing any physical labor, where your body’s also giving off heat.
They make some nice synthetic fabrics these days that are good about letting heat out, but not it, and really work with your sweat to keep it cooling far longer than normal.

Put a bunch of sand in tbe paint balloons and aim for the windshield so they fuck up the wiper blades, and can’t see.
Close. Pretty sure its an acronym for Lubing My Accessible Orifices.
I’d bet theres a couple ‘allies’ that he just wants more leverage over mixed in.
Back in 98, dad managed to reach me on board an intercoastal flight (bos to LAX) from a small sailboat heading to the bahamas. He was on a VHF and hailed a passing cruise ship. Their radio OP had i think a shortwave, and was radio buddies with some ATC guys in the Midwest. He reached out, and one of them went on the air asking if anyone in his airspace was flying BOS to LAX with an unacompanied minor. My plane responded, a stewardess came and got me, and I was able to talk to my dad for a few minutes before we went out of that tower’s VHF range (I guess)
Forgot about this book. Was a coffee table staple in my late teens.
Hold in contempt can just mean a finding of contempt of court. The judge holds (the oponion that) the person is in contempt
Punishments can then be fines, sanctions, or actual jailing, which is also called being held in contempt.
If might be talking out of my ass, but I vaguely remember there being something about road asphalt compositions being different- using more oil in the binder up north, to keep the freeze/ thaw from destroying the road, which also preventings the water from soaking i to it as deeply, making ice accumulate less, (more melted snow runs off the road instead of staying on the surface, and being less slick and adhered into the road.
The payoff being the extra binder makes roads breakdown faster, not to mention having them melt and become malleable under car tires if it gets too hot.
Nihilists? Fuck me. I mean say what you want about the tenets of national socialism, at least its an ethos.
In my jurisdiction, the enforcement of quiet enjoyment laws are pretty much only used for ‘LL is harassing me’
While the law requires LL to prevent others from preventing QE, a suit against a landlord for failing to protect QE is going to come down to ‘were the police called and document disruption in a report, and did they handle it?’ If no, theres no proof, or it was deemed not a problem (and therefore not interfering with QE) and if they did intervene, theres no more disruption, so problem was solved and no QE claim to be made.
On the other hand, a landlord trying to enforce QE on their own, risks the problem tenant calling the police on LL, alleging LL interfered with their QE, and when police show, first question is going to be why the alleged infraction the LL showed up about wasnt called in, and is going to be dismissed as alleged, with only the LL’s interference as documentaries.
Back in our 20s one of my friend was a little shit. Lived in a split lot with his LL. Almost every night, hed play music loud, LL would bang on door, hed tell him to fuck off, and LL would threaten to call the cops. Hed wait 10 mins, turn the music down for 30, then back up of the police didnt show. If they did, theyd talk to an angry LL, then come to the door and hed be pleasant and invite them in, where theyd hear perfectly normal levels of music, and agree with him he was within his rights to enjoy music at that volume. Police report would document noise complaint as unsubstantiated, and LL as having showed up at his house and then called the cops over nothing, both invasions to his QE
After a month, LL got labeled a nuisance caller by the PD. At one point, he came to the door, knocked and friend just didnt answer. Landlord started snooping around, looking in windows with his cell camera, and friend videotaped him doing so, and called the cops on the LL.
Landlord got arrested, and friend was presented with temp restraining order paperwork, over ‘dozens of documented harrasments.’ When landlord was being released, he was asked if he had anywhere to stay that wasnt on that property, and it turned out he had a vacant unit across town, that he was advised to stay in pending the hearing. (Idk if they would have held him the extra day or so before the prelim hearing or what)
The prelim hearing was the next day with just my friend in court, (tro is granted provisionally or not, depending on claimants evidence, then a hearing is scheduled in 30 days where both sides gets to present their case. The dozens of lopsided police reports were plenty, and he was awarded the provisional RO, and the LL advised to stay where he was already staying until it was worked out.
When it came to tbe actual hearing, both sides’ stories were dismissed as anecdotal with the police reports still being the only thing counted. Judge upheld the RO. LL tried to claim the house adjacent to my friends was his residence, and the judge basically said 'youve been living in the house across town for 30 days so im not granting that exception to the RO. The order was set to last the 3.5 years left on the lease, LL was advised to hire an agent to conduct all buisness on those 2 properties, and friend ended up getting awarded 6months of rent for the QE violations.

Fucking autocorrect, lol
Little known fact, when David Caradine died, it was from auto erotic asphyxiatmisadventures. Animatronic prop power glove from the movie Future Force making it the first case of robotically assisted sexual death by misadventure.
Also, need to define what constitutes ‘killed by.’ Depending on that definition, were quite a aways of- if were requiring agency, and a sex robot making a decision resulting in someones death.
In the middle range, someones death being the direct result of an electric sex toy, had probably already happened: its fairly likely some elderly or otherwise infirm person has had a lethal stroke /heart attack/ whatever induced by mechanically assisted sexual device.
If your definition is loose enough, autoerotic aspyxiation while using an electric toy could count. If so, were probably into quad digits by now.
Wintry mix in my part of costal New England generally refers to when the temp is fluctuating atound freezing, causing precip to come down as alternating / indeterminate area to area snow / sleet/ freezing rain. The worry being that the slushy mess will then freeze on the ground when the temperature drops.
For instance the radio station forecast yesterday was snow all day giving way to wintry mix from 9-11, then the temp dropping back to being snow 12-1 (when it cooled back down)
Which it did. We got like a foot of show, then it rained for an hour, then we got another hour of snow.
I live in a state that has a rule that essentially all ‘outdated’ laws that use gender are updated to be gender neutral.
A couple years ago, someone pointed out this caused a bit of a problem in our beachside town, as technically the town bylaw that prevented women from sunbathing/ swimming topless, now read 'All people are banned from having exposed breasts and ripples in public, with a 75$ minimum fine. (Including men)
The two women who brought this to town meaning proposed a simple update, strike the old rule, and replace without everyone can be topless around the beach, but must be covered up down town. After all, its was 2023, and the Puritans had gone extinct as a religion 280 years ago.
This sparked a hilarious 2 hours of public comments.
My favorite was one lady getting up and being apoplectic about the thought of having to explain breasts to her grandsons and appealing to everyones sense of modesty. Her friend then got up, and was just like ‘didnt I run into you on <whatever foreign vacation resort laazt winter? Not only were you topless, your bikini was so small your hoohah was falling out all over the place!’
People kept forgetting the ‘no gender words’ thing, so theyd propose a rule to sneak around the gender issue, that read something like ‘no person may expose female nipples’, and the town councilor would very dryly read that back to them as "in practice that law would read “no person my expose human nipples”. All you’ve done is shift liability if someone helps another take their shirt off.
At one point, someone got smart with, “no Non-Dormant human sexual reproductive organs may be exposed in public” (meaning men’s breasts were okay)
Town council thought about it for a minute, and just said “that sounds an awful lot like 'youre allowed to sit on a bench down town, fully naked, as long as you dont get an erection.” "More seriously though, while that law doesnt fail the test outright, it is most guaranteed to get hit lawsuit and struck down before we ever get to beach season. "
On bro got up and claimed if the town took away his right to hop into his topless jeep, shirtless, to go on a beer run, he’d ‘take the law into his own hands, every day it was sunny out.’ Madame Moderator, as she prefers to be called, countered with “well then…” and “I believe i spea k for the entire town, when say I sincerely hope you never grasp any part of the law!”
Eventually we settled with “all people may be topless on public property within <town name> except where prohibited for reasons of sanitation or saftey” boring, but a win. I still have yet to see anyone topless outside of the nude beach. Well, Besides a coue female friends who lgo skinny-dipping whenever we have a night-time beach party, but the old laws werent exactly stopping them before, either.
