    Stopped at #Burger_King because the available food options are very limited. One thing one can never accuse #BK of, and that's having high quality food. Though the guy today is doing his best--he's the only person working--and he's consistently messing up special orders, it isn't any worse than the usual experience.

    #GS4 loves his red t-shirt! There were two red and one orange in that pack. #GS5 also has red.

    Both are smiling in the photo. #GS3 gof his blue t-shirt, but declined to be in the thank you picture.

    I didn't read much about the case, but seeing that IA followed the same practices that publishers required libraries to follow, this is *bad* news.

    To be clear, I did contact them first ... years ago, when I was working in Starkville, #MS, because I wanted to buy team jerseys for #GD1, #GD2, and #A1. They didn't have jerseys in A1's size, so I bought him a onesie.

    At check-out, I got a brand new clerk (2nd day on the job). When he asked about my stay, I mentioned the locking issue and he said "Oh, my God, that's really scary!" and apologized profusely.

    #California involuntary sterilizations and reparations

    https://nu.federati.net/url/289986 [www theguardian com]

    > At the turn of the 20th century, the eugenics movements captivated much of white America, fueled by a zealous faith that the burgeoning field of genetics could socially engineer away America’s “ills”, including poverty, crime and “feeblemindedness”. Thirty-two states had sterilization laws, but California’s program was unrivaled. It contributed to a third of total national sterilizations, and set an example for Nazi Germany’s sterilization laws.

    https://nu.federati.net/url/289987 [www sfgate com]

    > "California was the second state to pass eugenics laws in 1909," two years after Indiana made it legal to sterilize the "feeble-minded," according to University of Virginia bioethicist Paul Lombardo.

    > Lombardo is an expert on eugenics, a school of thought popular around the turn of the 20th century. Eugenicists thought they could improve the human species through selective breeding, which meant preventing habitual criminals, inmates of insane asylums and sexual deviants from having kids.

    https://victims.ca.gov/fiscp/ [victims ca gov]

    > Many people who lived in state-run hospitals, homes and institutions through 1979 were sterilized, leaving them unable to have biological children. Additionally, many people who were in custody of a state prison or other correctional facility after 1979 were forcibly or involuntarily sterilized.

    > The Forced or Involuntary Sterilization Compensation Program financially compensates survivors of state-sponsored sterilization. The California Victim Compensation Board (CalVCB) administers the program.

    New #hotel is dirty and unmaintained (but still better than the hotel I was in a few weeks ago). Different chain, so that's not the issue, either. I just think the industry as a whole is a lot less concerned with cleaning and maintenance (things that cost money).

    Several years after our last contact, I started getting e-mails from #NaNoWriMo. Today, I changed my preferences to "don't bug me for any reason".

    Likewise, #Mississippi State University (Starkville, #MS) suddenly added me to their sports supporters lists. One list seemed to be about the latest things on their paid "HailState Plus" service and the other was just a daily update of athletics department happenings. I tried to unsub from the HSP messages, but I think it got all messages, and I'm okay with that. If I'd known, I'd have waited, because MSU is one of the campuses where both the men's and women's basketball teams are in the tournament.

    Honestly, the main list was okay, if overwhelming. My biggest issue is that they suddenly started sending me stuff years after our last contact, with not even an opt-in "Hey, we see that you formerly contacted us and we would like to send you daily updates on our sports programs" message first.

    In the other city, the building we were in was close enough to the railroad tracks that along with the regular noise was a barely heard but strongly felt low frequency hum / vibration. They probably should not put homes and offices that close.

    I talked to someone from another agency who lives in a nearby city. The odor is coming from paper mills along the river, and locals get used to it, so they barely smell it.

    It is nice to know that.

    I don't have any time-corroboration memories to say when it was, but I also bought a few comic books in the "Kommandi" series. It seemed to fizzle out, but the issues I had were my favorites.

    When I was in junior high, I had a box where I kept issues of Superman, Batman, Shazam (at the time, formally called "Captain Marvel"), X-Men, and I think I had Spiderman too.

    I bought them monthly at the 7-11 down the street. That all stopped when family fortunes changed and we moved to a new neighborhood.
