Replacing the ink pads on my Dad's printer. The steps to go through are ridiculous and obviously set on making you want to buy the replacement. It's annoying when Epson is such a butthole. The sensor for the ink pad on my own P800 is down since moving here and the pad is fine but the printer won't run. They do make great prints when operable but the company is such a dick in the long run with so many products I have endured.

New York pulled me back in for a couple days of work last week and I wrote about it: https://starkweather.substack.com/p/a-brief-return-to-new-york?sd=pf

Has anyone made the comparison of compassion for immigrants fleeing troubled nations and Russians being blocked from entering neighboring countries fleeing for similar reasons (not wanting to be involved in or sent to fight a war)?

Wouldn't you want to give refuge to someone rather than see them sent to a war you disagree with.

It's an odd thing to read about with the current Ken Burns psyop going on too.

If I had to take a guess at what is really going on with the Xi rumors, I would say he probably got covid and they're just keeping that under wraps.

The cat here is quite the climber.

It's somewhat jarring to tune into the NA Stream and hear your own voice. Had no idea the Michaelanthony episode would play but great guest! Not too surprising.

Actually it hasn't ended yet...November 1st.

NYC finally ends the private sector vax mandate. Feels weird being here when they did it. I was placing my bets on it being the day I moved and was just a few weeks off. It ended for celebrities and sports figures (Kyrie Irving) a while ago. What a dumbass policy.

Not exactly sure where the WEF Party is but I have lived in New York for a while and never seen so many SUVs gathered in one spot. Went for a photo walk while I am in town for work. Figured it was UN related but maybe it was dang transhumanists! Lots and lots of barricades around and on Park Ave.

Almost didn't post this one but my Stack is transforming out of mostly NYC topics. It's a response to be in a house where MSNBC runs all day at high volume 🤮 .

Checking in on New York for a couple days of work. The misery is real and one of the first things I noticed.

Listening live today riding a bus to NYC for a couple days of audio work. Wild to hear bus reports while on a bus. I stopped rereading a Jacques Ellul book to listen but not Propaganda as recommended today by John, The Technological Society. An older John recommendation.

Mayor Adams destroys more jobs and hurts teachers and families. How is this beneficial for anyone but the pharmaceutical companies? These policies are a big reason why I left.
