She was trying to go out in a glaze of glory.

It would be so nice if my trump supporting neighbors would leave.

It’s disheartening that he didn’t learn that when you’re poor, even when you start to make progress, everything needs to continue to go your way because if you hit one bump in the road you need to start all over again. It’s too bad his “start all over again” was just “go back to being rich” and he really failed his social experiment.

I could have told them this was a dumb idea from the start; creating something that doesn’t fill a need, is just another device to carry around and could just be an app on a phone that we already carry around, just to cram it down people’s throats “because AI,” is probably not a good business plan.

I think the point is that he paid the 10% rather than front the $200k out of his own pocket. The 10% he doesn’t get back since he used a bail bondsman, but he would have gotten the full $200k back when he showed up in court had he used his own money.

If they didn’t want me to sniff the vent fumes, they shouldn’t have pointed the vent nearly at my face.

He punished blue cities and states in his first term too.

Hakeem Jeffries was the democratic nominee for speaker, but you’re right that there was no chance for him because the republicans hold the majority.

I’ve been using it as my main search engine for around a year now. I accidentally used google today to look up “best screwdriver sets” and the results were all ads instead of results with screwdriver set reviews. I put the same thing in DuckDuckGo and immediately got relevant results.

He is absolutely not 215; I’m 6’3” and when I was 215 a few years ago was pretty thin.

He didn’t originate that term. He claims that he did and he appropriated it, but it was in existence long before he started using it.

Guinness has the best NA stout because it tastes just like regular Guinness. When I had to stop drinking, I really missed this and none of the other NA stouts scratched the itch. Once this came out, I was really happy. Other than that, anything from Athletic Brewing Company is awesome. They have some good IPAs, their sour and gose options are really good, there’s a cerveza that tastes similar to negra modelo and a bunch of their seasonal offerings are really good. A big problem with a lot of NA beers is that they don’t get the carbonation right (brew dog has some good tasting ones, but their carbonation is no good). Athletic nails it. After that I’d say Brooklyn Brewing and Partake both have a few really solid ones; just pick whatever looks interesting from them and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

This is exactly what I see the issue as. I can’t have caffeine or alcohol so I normally just drink water or if I drink soda, I spend a lot of time looking for it to specifically say “caffeine free” on the label or if that doesn’t exist I look it up or just don’t bother with that drink. The “caffeine free” is rarely prominently displayed, but certain drinks I consider generally safe like lemonade, root beer and orange or lemon-lime soda. I definitely wouldn’t drink anything called “charged” but I think companies need to be more transparent about caffeine in their beverages than they are.

Wow, I didn’t even realize that it requires a $24.99 per month plan from T-Mobile for voice, texting and data. These companies are getting really brazen.

This is what I thought it sounded like too. I’ve seen similar behavior with wake on lan before.

Couldn’t find the wheel lock?

I’ve purchased a few bottles of the underwood ranch one and it doesn’t taste the same; it’s not bad, but it tastes more bland than huy fong.

I tried this on my old wrx and it worked great. I just bought a stiff bristled brush and then a tube of colgate and it was a huge improvement.

Haha nice

I don’t doubt that at all; I had a civic si that was the best car I’ve ever owned in the snow and I only had all-seasons on it. One time, I stayed at work way later than I should have when a blizzard was hitting and made the 20 mile drive home without an issue. As I got within 5 miles of my house there were very few other vehicles on the road except for an occasional truck and they weren’t having any easier of a time than I was.

I don’t think any Fitbit I’ve ever owned has lasted more than a year. The good thing about the company is that they have a pretty good warranty program and as a result, I haven’t paid out of pocket for a new device in over three years.

That’s not a bad idea, but why not just integrate that functionality into a smartwatch?

I used to feel the same, but they do fit a bit of a need for me. They work great as a silent alarm so you don’t wake up anyone else in your room, you don’t have to take your phone out to check time or notifications, and health and fitness tracking is better than what a phone can offer.

CVS has been pretty reliably on top of both of the updated vaccine rollouts and has them in stock. I got it with the flu shot a month ago now and had no trouble finding it.

I think his makeup keeps getting darker; in two years he’s just gonna be doing full-on blackface.

That’s how it is by me too; very few lines open with an actual person. I’d prefer not interacting with anyone, but the self checkouts are just a reason to hire fewer people. Years ago, they used to have two people at every register at grocery stores; one to ring people up and the other to pack the bags up. You rarely see this anymore unless the cashier is being trained.

In addition to that, on the occasions that I do use self checkout, I almost always have an issue with one of the items and then the one person they have overseeing ten checkout lanes needs to finish what they’re doing and come over to me just to fix the issue so I can finish scanning the rest of my stuff.

So when I’m using self checkout, I’m doing unpaid labor just because the store wants to increase profits and it often ends up being slower depending on how much produce I’m buying.

Yeah, I’ve been 260 before and was not as big as him. Also, it says Giuliani is 5’11” and 230 and I don’t think he looks as heavy as trump does.

Yeah, once my current versa 3 inevitably breaks, I’m jumping ship. I’m most likely going to Garmin, since other choices are kinda limited and don’t want to charge my watch every day. I feel like the sleep tracking has never worked well for me on Fitbit. I don’t know if it’s a function of having a low heart rate or it just doesn’t work well, but there are nights that I’ve gotten terrible sleep or not slept at all and it thinks I slept for 6+ hours because I just laid there.

Yeah, I can’t imagine they thought this would be a serious product.

They’re both amstaff mixes; she’s a little more than the top one and then mixed with boxer and I think a smaller dog breed. She looks a lot like my previous dog too who was all amstaff.

That’s a good idea!

I’m American and wonder the same thing about these people.
