I'm hoping the whole administration is a situation of Hanlon's Razor, but that might also just be me huffing copium.

And here I thought I'd never see my '95 Cavalier again!

I think I'm the odd man out here, I'm always fully dressed at home. My wife never understands why I wear shoes in her house, but my feet are cold and I'm not going to buy another pair of shoes (slippers) when I already have shoes that are perfectly warm and comfortable.

This is how I learned to stop misspelling necessary: your shirt has one collar and two sleeves.

They weren't braking; they were driving highway speeds in front of me.

Quick Googling puts snow at 1-20 pounds per cubic foot, depending on moisture content. Using conservative numbers of one foot of snow, 7 feet wide, and 15 feet long that could be 105-2100 pounds. On the low end, I can't see that being enough weight to matter, and on the high end, that might seriously strain some vehicles suspensions.

Also as someone in the Midwest that got hit by snow flying off the top of an uncleaned car this morning from several hundred feet away, I don't care how much weight it is. Clean off your car.

I'm dealing with this exact issue right now. I don't have thermal imaging, but I used an IR thermometer and recorded temps as much as ten degrees lower in the places with water staining than in other parts of the wall/room/house. Any tips for finding the leaks/improving insulation? Right now my best idea is cutting holes in each cavity and blowing in insulation, but I'm not an expert at all.

I mean sure both parties are going to serve the Almighty shareholder by finding reasons to avoid wealth taxes, upholding capitalism where the strongest survive (except for corporations that lobby well and need bailed out of course), and using their positions in the government to personally profit. But at least one party is going to recognize that trans people are humans, make an effort to oversee environmental or workers rights, or even admit that human beings deserve to eat in the process.

As the great Mitch Hedberg said, "This shirt is dry clean only. Which means it's dirty"

As far as I can tell, from their prospective DEI is harmful made-up psychobabble that must be eradicated at all costs, unless it's for veterans with PTSD or January 6th rioters who deserve a second chance. The only moral DEI is MY DEI, I guess.

While a boiled steak would certainly taste terrible, as a strictly salt, pepper, ripping hot cast iron, steak enjoyer, steak tastes just fine by itself. Well by itself with the Maillard reaction.

I'm thinking of the hot dogs. While being chewed, swallowed, and digested seems like a horrible end, it can't really be much worse than their conception was to begin with. Such is the life of a hot dog.

 

Last year I bought a knife sharpening set for the first time and it made a world of difference. This year I'm trying to establish an annual sharpening to keep them nice and sharp.
