He's found indoor lodging and he feels sheepish about telling us because he said he was going to rough it in his car.
There's nothing wrong with 3 and he should continue posting. If it's 1 he will go down in history as a great hero/martyr of the shroomery.
Hey Brian I actually did sleep in my car the first night at a Walmart, but I have linked up with a friend from twitter who has kindly allowed me to sleep on her couch for a few days. It wasn't terribly cold though since I came prepared with lots of blankets I may stay in some motels if I go to more rural parts of the state as local law enforcement may harass me but Des Moines is large enough that I can fly under the radar. I don't have much to report currently but the campaign is getting ready for a big push and I plan to be on the ground floor. I proposed that we target rural counties as the voters there are more valuable.
Last I checked Walmart has a standing corporate policy to allow people to sleep in cars in the parking lots. You should be able to find a Walmart damn near anywhere in Iowa, mom and pops can't compete.
I suggest that you get some garbage bags and duct tape, and put up a barrier between your front and back seats. That way, you can sleep in the front and more importantly focus on only heating the front half of your car, to save gas. If you use clear plastic, you can even leave it up during the day for rear-view.
I hope you brought tire chains, just in case. I'd have gotten a whole winch and bolted it to the frame of your car in the front--you don't wanna get stuck out in some random ass cornfield. At least carry a few planks and some cat litter. Better than planks, you could use one of those office chair mats that you put on fluffy carpet--just fold it in half with the spiky parts out and maybe add a few rivets to hold it together. At the very least, carry a small snow shovel.
Make sure you keep some non-perishable food in your car. Something calories dense. I always carried a bag of assorted grape candy in my car when I was up there. Grape because I hate it, so I wouldn't just eat it, but candy nonetheless because it is quite calorie dense, which can be a literal lifesaver when you're snowed in for three days.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/05/15/heres-what-happened-at-saturdays-dramatic-nevada-democratic-convention/
It was a joke, each delegate has a vote. If you are a delegate and don't show up to vote your candidate doesn't get your vote...so they announced the results of the delegates while people were still in line to register and their vote wasn't even counted yet. Guess what the margin was....1 vote. it was supposed to be a two day convention but at the end of the first day, the sheriffs rolled in and kicked us all out. Just a shit show in general...

YangSupporter Banned: 12/20/19 09:41 AM Expires: 12/21/19 09:41 AM Reason: Unapproved Puppet

Plus, he deleted all his posts newer than Dec. 8th.  https://www.shroomery.org/forums/dosearch.php?where=body&tosearch=both&how=all&uid=465718&limit=25&sort=d&way=d&page=2 so I can't tell if he slipped up and gave a tell, or maybe Ythan got a new puppet-checker.

I can't attest to any of the behind the scenes stuff that happened, but I liked YangSupporter. Everybody likes shit on Yang around here, and for the most part it's for the right reasons, but YangSupporter believed in something. He maybe wore his heart on his sleeve a bit too much, but he never came across as malicious to me.
I find the reason of "unapproved puppet" as a little comical. Do we have approved puppets here?

Anyone can correct me, as have never actually inquired but under the impression we can be allowed to have a puppet for grow journals and the like if we don't want that information tied to public account
prefer to just keep it out of public eye all together, myself 
honestly always kept imagining that YangSupporter was an Asante puppet for some reason

Okay, yeah I guess that makes sense.
I don't have anything worth posting as far as grows, my latest Lions Mane block is decent, but I don't see too many threads for that. It doesn't mean I don't find major value in many of the grow threads here, it's just that I have nothing significant to contribute. So a puppet account for me is rather worthless, and frankly, it seems like it would be really tiresome to run a puppet account, manage VPN's, etc. to try to keep the shtick up.

-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

I dunno yang used a few consecutive sentences at times which makes me think it wasn’t XUL, but I could see it.

But I don't think it was a troll account. Why would anyone make that much effort to do it? It doesn't make sense.

I liked the guy. He was smart. Does anyone know anything about this? How his puppet status was determined?
