Great idea. Too many of us don’t do that basic maintenance regularly enough

Thanks chief. Just finishing an hour of surfing the net, and might watch a video in bed

I understand the last episode got two thumbs down

Wow, too much thought for morning.

My weekday breakfast for years is

• press the button on the Keurig, hoping I remember to put a mug under it
• glop some plain low fat yogurt into a bowl
• throw in a cut up fruit, usually a banana
• pour cheerios until just about to overflow

Luna Nera. Lots of medieval repression and violence, under a fantasy guise

What are you interested in? My teen started writing rap lyrics and ideas for video games, but didn’t even realize how quickly that turned into exploring his feelings and working out any issues he was having. It quickly became truly personal

clearly criminals

Ah yes, my failure for this past summer. I got a smoker and made some amazing barbecued everything. I tried so many cuts of meat, so many rubs and sauces from around the world, lots of salsas and roasted peppers, but never vinegar based, never mustard based, and especially never did a brisket.

They do seem to be a lot more common now, although I’m not sure we still do. Boston had a fantastic one for many years, traditionally put on by a major retailer, but that’s been in flux for a couple decades now and I don’t even know whether it still exists

I most recently went to one in Detroit. It was small but reasonably well done. Most importantly it highlighted a part of downtown that has been mostly rebuilt, revitalized. Of course it can never come close to Frankenmuth

To be sure, if you’re only looking at direct immediate impact, no president has ever affected most of us, not even Trump. However if you paid attention to pretty much anything larger than yourself, pretty much everything was negatively impacted.

Most of us were never “grabbed by the pussy”, or defamed and slandered, held up for national ridicule. Most of us were not attacked in a vain attempt at reversing an election, nor were most of us physically harmed when he instigated an attempted coup. Most of didn’t lose anything when he enriched himself from wealthy benefactors and foreign influence, nor lose anything as he instigated trade wars and bickered with our allies. Most of us did not lose our lives as a result of his giving up classified information including names of agents. Most of us were not singled out from spite or racism. Most of us have not yet been harmed by climate change, especially that part he managed to speed up. Most of us did not unnecessarily die from denial of a pandemic. Almost half of us have not been harmed by losing any rights to our own bodies. I guess we weren’t harmed when he never even attempted to follow through with most of his promises.

Seriously, I never thought I’d consider stairs an issue, barring mobility limitations, but it’s really nice not having any. If I go down my one step, I have a huge family room with cathedral ceiling, giant sofas, big screen TVs, counters with gaming PCs. It’s the best

Boston. That’s why I moved here. In college I took a few road trips to Boston and just loved everything about the place and vowed to move here. My first few jobs out of college were all about the location: moving closer

I’ve been told that not only does it occasionally freeze in Florida but that houses were essentially uninsulated. Before a/c, there was no reason to insulate in the south.

Electric heat also has the advantage of nothing to maintain. You can have your baseboard heating just sit there most of the time, but it will still come on the rare times you need it

Did you look into it though? Anything you can do to weatherproof your home is far cheaper than paying forever to heat or cool it.

I’m in a similar situation but less so. My house is only half the age but well built so not too leaky. My state strongly encourages efficiency measures and they’re not a bad idea. However since their criteria is “recommended” insulation, I’m “ok”. Basically since I have two layers of fiberglass in my attic, I’ve “done all I could”. However I did have to have an insulating contractor out to say “yep, can’t do any more”

Now my only problem was that I have functioning (but old) heating and a/c so wanted to save up a few years, but now I need to decide whether I have to try asap to get the incentive while it lasts

Probably also a bit of a history component.

When my parents built their house in rural New York, they could have chosen gas or propane. However that was the height of the first wave of nuclear power, when it was being promised “electricity will soon be too cheap to meter”. Of course now that looks like an insane choice as the most expensive.

Any areas built out during the 1950s-1980s may have followed this logic

If there are other ways to make or obtain a lower than it’s not exclusive to 3Dprinting

I thought it was older than that but I don’t know and didn’t see anything through search.

Maybe it’s just named appliances but my blender is also really short

My current car won’t start unless m wearing my seat belt.

You need to get a streaming audio service - you only need one playlist. No commercials. No blather. Just the music you requested. Surfing is no longer relevant

My ex gets distracted easily. She always hated that I would ghost brake, but I can’t help it when she’s not reacting to the stopped car in front of us
