The story of the church that ordains you with a few clicks online

Over 60 years ago, the Universal Life Church made it possible for anyone to become a minister and ordain a wedding. Today, weddings officiated by family and friends have become a huge part of the way Americans get married.

started bike commuting again recently so maybe the novelty will wear off, but it’s kind of cool to live somewhere where there’s rush hour bike traffic

there is a safety boost to traveling in packs (we’re more visible to drivers, and we benefit from each other noticing things we might miss if alone) but it’s also just more energizing somehow

I was just talking to my car insurance company and they asked me what gender was listed on my license. It occurred to me that men and women have different rates at different age ranges.

But what about non-binary (or, more specifically, people with an X on their license) people?

I'd be very curious to hear from any trans and non-binary folks about whether car insurance rates were affected once license was switched over.

Inzwischen ruft die Polizei sogar öffentlich dazu auf, dass man Falschparker per weg.li anzeigt, und die in meinem Bezirk zuständige Polizei versucht laut eigener Aussage, innerhalb der nächsten 5 Jahre die Gehwege von Falschparkern zu befreien.

Update: turns out I'm an idiot and my HD bay was turned off hence why I couldn't get into my plex/media. Now I can view it all just fine at work.
