I like V8 juice, but it's acid enough that I don't drink it very often. In fact, I haven't had any of it in years.

One of the Discord servers I'm in, which was formed by me, was a meeting place for a clan in RuneScape. I used to be the leader of this clan, but due to personal reasons I stepped down and took more of a backseat driver role. After forming it, I gave ownership of the Discord server to the leader. This clan was created 15 years ago, and I joined it about 1 year later. Last night, more than half of the active members of this clan left the Discord server, while in-game I hear they fragmented from this clan and created their own. Why? Because the current leader, which I used to have the utmost respect for, made a draconian decision to ban all political discussion, and by removing a newly created political & news channel, which someone else made, around her leadership and unbeknownst to her. I protested, and voiced my feelings that this kind of censorship was uncalled for on the announcement board. She's retired, but was an IT specialist working for some division of the US government - she had some alarming news, which she shared with me in private dms, which I can't repeat here. After all this fallout, she left the Discord server herself, not because she didn't want to lead the clan anymore, but because she didn't feel it was safe to use Discord ...

Maybe I had a bad experience, but I went to a Discord chat room, and it was complete babble, until one guy managed to quell the babble long enough to have his say. If that's how it is, I'd just use a siren to shut everyone up. If that was what it took, it isn't a place for me.

That depends on the Discord server and its community & enforcement of rules. The official RuneScape Discord server formed by JaGeX is a shitshow, its quality of posts and "discussion" is very low.

Just filled up my car. Took about 10 gallons as it wasn't too close to empty. It made me curious...last time I got gas was on the 4th of September. Anyone else getting 5 weeks per fill up?

I used to have to get gas at least once a week.

I put gas in our 93 SC2 in August - the one month we can drive unlimited with it. (Historic plates on it. Only for car shows and parades the rest of the time).

The 02 SC2 I have been driving - I put gas in during September. Ditto the convertible.

The SO - she goes through a tank every  week commuting.( 12 gallon tank - 35 mpg)

My coffee is especially good this morning. Freshly ground. I'm surprised at how good this is for a Walmart generic. Organic Sumatra.
