Kids would yearn for the mines if only they were forced to experience them.

Would you consider moving mammal carcasses a profession or a hobby?

That’s because you didn’t hook up enough of them.

If you’re “making friends for this purpose,” they aren’t friends. The way you accomplish someone doing this for you is by paying them.

Thank you - I’ll check them out. I had switched from most American news to BBC World, Al Jazeera, or NHK World News years ago, but I’m thankful to have another international source of information beyond our domestic Real Housefascists of DC.

Could I ask which news source it is?

The only way in or out is via gay party boat ferry.

This is good advice. Each of us is a small force alone, but that force can be multiplied when we join forces with our comrades. In NY specifically, you may want to check out the Working Families Party: https://workingfamilies.org/

They are represented on the ballot and typically endorse the more progressive Democratic candidates. They could have local resources to aid you with your protest and you may be able to gather additional protesters. You may also want to connect with your local mutual aid group as there are often politically progressive people involved with those.

This is verifiably false. Anyone on here just cannot shut up about being on here (sample size = 1).

Whoa, hey, I could be getting vodka and cigarettes? I’m switching teams.

Definitely a better option than the former. All the beaches with none of the falling into the sea.

Did Florida secede and we didn’t notice?

Seriously though, that sounds like not the worst place to live.

For some reason your rhetorical question about fighting everyone reminded me of this very important quiz. Know thyself or something.

We got a Speed Queen washer and dryer and are happy with them. I’ve also heard that Maytag Commercial is decent but don’t have experience with them myself.

I will say, the Speed Queen appliances have needed someone to come out to service them (something happened with the washer that I can’t recall, and the heating element on the dryer drooped and shorted and then fell apart), but at least the warranty is long enough and there haven’t been any issues with the repair technicians. That’s all I really want - a device that if (when) it has an issue, it’s worth repairing.

The heat pump all-in-one washer / dryers are compelling. A friend has one (I believe it’s LG but may be GE) and he loves it except that one of the pumps fails almost yearly and he has to replace it. I guess he would rather do that than admit defeat and the pump is relatively cheap. Maybe he saves enough time washing and drying his family’s clothes overnight while he sleeps that it’s worth a multi-hour annual surgery.

It can get chilly marching through the frozen tundra. The Finnish are so thoughtful. ☺️

Thank you for taking the time on this really interesting write up. I enjoy coffee (a lot) but haven’t gotten into the more technical aspects. This was helpful to hear the benefit of sifting, and of course, using good grinders, but I’m glad to know that someone with much more coffee expertise than myself doesn’t feel the need to sift their grounds regularly.

Whoa, hey, calm down there. Are you running for Senator or something?

Thank you for the clear and concise response. Perhaps I should have been more specific in my intended question: Walmart is and has always been problematic. Why now?
