I just got the Virginia mobile ID as well. Too late to try it on the cop that pulled me over last week, though.

NASA's Artemis 2 pilot Victor Glover listens to 'Whitey on the Moon' every Monday. This is why. "It ain't about racism. It's about the human condition."

I was surprised how little my grandfather made - he was a surgeon in the mid 1900s. He was also rural, and I remember him taking payment in the form of bushels of green beans once.

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately*

Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code.

My plan is to arrive early, tell them to their face that they are scumbags. This is a great opportunity to shame them. It's like the Geneva convention compact - harass the enemy at every opportunity.
