Why can’t your workers be your workers, your family be your family, your friends be your friends?

I actually have this thing. The knife thing is annoying and it just sits on the back acting as a brace for the dishsoap bottle. The cutting board rack is kinda dumb because it just dries onto your counter.

But the baskets are nice because they drain into the sink. It was a really cheap kitchen improvement purchase I don’t regret.

What it needs though are raised rubber gasket lined feet so it doesn’t hold bits of water under the base you have to lift and wipe up. It’s cheap material and easily modified.

Damn, this is the first time I have seen something that isn’t the opposite issue of overcrowded and underfunded schools. Well the underfunded part still remains at any rate.

As an adult with a family: Yes, but nothing like when I was younger. The biggest shift for me primarily was to games that are not competitive or multiplayer.

I can’t do the 25-60 minute intense gaming sessions with or against other players. I have to be able to stop everything I am doing at a moment’s notice. I feel bad having to drop on people.

Also I can’t do the FPS games now because I’m old and my eyes just can’t anymore.

I said this in another thread about this article: They’re just flatly dividing the 1.3 billion total budget that was allocated over the years by the 6,300 number of homeless counted in 2023.

This budget likely includes programs serving homeless populations as a whole and its staffing, administration, etc. Given the time period this likely includes program funding that started, and then ended, with special funding local health juridictions recieved during covid.

Source: worked in the region in question in a local health juridiction through covid. Cutting programs and keeping police sweeps didn’t help the homeless but it tended to satiate the local businesses and residences impactes.

Rare W for my representative, continued L for their party.

Country buys foreign material, uses security.

Appears it was McConnell, which makes sense because he broke with the Party over posturing towards Russia if I recall correctly.

The zionists won. It doesn’t need reminding.

A movement tried to make Palestine a relevant political issue for the electorate. It got stomped out. I don’t get this sentiment to keep stomping.

Part of my 2025 mental and physical health plan has been building and landscaping my little slice of land to go from an unfenced hillside of lawn to a walled and terraced garden.

Removed the sod and got a dumptruck load of granite stones at the start of the year. I am building using a dry stone technique and moving it all by hand on purpose. Currently finishing the main terraces and wall base, beginning raised garden beds now. Every day I move a couple stones into place and it feels like an accomplishment that is quite literally building on itself.

I look forward to seeing how it (continues to) come together.

It gets real dangerous if the National Guard unit hesitates or refuses to take a shooting order and the Marines are ordered to respond to that as mutiny.

That’s how it’d be an equivalent flashpoint for violence I think.

It happened before the 1960s too, even!

They don’t even have to pass those if they don’t want to. In portions of America it is just: win an election, appoint your friends and lackies.

A lot of departments use the admission tests to screen out candidates who might be overqualified: they specifically won’t want the best. An overwight blob is preferable to an in shape individual that might think before acting.

I had to look this up.

Damnit I want these for America.

To be honest I had not explored the possibility a great deal on how the transmission would matter in conversion. I know a few companies had explored simulated gearboxes and transmissions for their vehicles, and that was about as deep as my understanding was.

I assumed the transmission and gearbox had utility in EV but it does appear less important. Most conversions from what I saw essentially lock the vehicle in a gear.

Still I feel like there’d be energy to save utilizing those components, but the benefit seems outweighed by the effort. I am no EV expert after all.

I have considered putting a banner like this on my old manual compact. I get post-it notes and flyers asking me to sell every other month.

Yeah the window seals are going moss, but I’ll convert that thing to EV before selling, and I’m seriously considering conversion.

Manual transmission EV would be nice…

The first one was fairly clever in that they had probably 50 years of collective ideas and inspiration to work off of. It’s a story that needed to push no boundaries and hold to established tropes, with no expectations because it was a ride: perfect for Disney.

Now when Disney gets their hands on an established franchise full of expectations…

Ah I see. It took me entirely too long (now) to notice the typo. I’ll have to leave it there.

I do a lil American conjugation. Prefer it to youse, at least.

I assume America by ‘West’ and ‘free country’? Ya’ll are teenagers and she is a minor. Until she is in an independent position and likely a legal adult I would not engage in the affairs of her legal guardians, as close as you two may be or feel.
