I had to look up what this was (I’m from the Midwest). It sounds incredible and I felt my arteries hardening up just looking at the picture! I can’t wait to try it!

This is not a general answer to your question, but many times if I go to the original manufacturers website they will tell me where I can find their products locally. Failing that you could bite the bullet and call the manufacturer. They should have a distribution database that can answer your question. I’m going to watch this thread to see if someone has a real answer eventually.

You had a moment of clarity where your true Self was able to be present and witness the good in the world. This is huge and you should know that a random internet stranger is proud of you for noticing. It is the first step to starting to heal your own inner parts who are still carrying that trauma from decades ago. The next step is to try to bring that enlightenment and understanding inside yourself. Congratulations on your new wisdom!

Quite possibly! I’m much more confident that I’ve driven by this one than I am about the I75 part.

This is definitely in Ohio on I75, North of Cinci. I’m only sad that Touchdown Jesus burned down!

Is it federated and open source? If not, I’ll pass.

I’m pretty sure preserves have actual chunks of fruit and jam is made from puree. Jelly is just made from fruit juice.

This is true, but on a personal level I have no idea how to do the calculus for, “My work is killing people, but it would have been worse if it hadn’t.” I think the show “The Good Place” got it right and it is just too interconnected and complicated to actually derive an answer as to whether an action is net negative or positive. That said, if I had to place money on a given action being negative, working for an arms manufacturer would be one I’d be fairly comfortable betting on.

I think this question boils down to this: Do your actions have a net positive or a net negative affect on the world? Does working at this company in some way offset the harm that the company is doing downstream? In this case I have a hard time coming up with a reasonable way in which this might be the case. Paying you and your family to have stuff doesn’t offset causing actual death and physical harm.

Astrill is the only consistent one and I have to server hop at times.

For commercial offerings this is probably true for at least some of them, but creating your own VPN isn’t terribly difficult if you are serious about your privacy. I typically just use them when I travel to countries like China where I can’t get to a bunch of necessary services, so I don’t mind if they route my YouTube traffic through CIA headquarters, but if I was doing anything more than that I would just set up my own.

Wow! Thanks for this! I really enjoyed it!

Tell me more about this salad! Is there a recipe you like?
