Ah. I wasn't aware of that. Thanks!

You get "regards," "best regards," or if we do a lot of work together, " best," from me. I'll usually express any gratitude on a separate line.

Thank you for all the work you put into this thread, OP!

Regards,

IBEW will pay you to go to electrician school. They pay you.

Check the article. The old stuff was releasing toxic chemicals when it was incinerated. They actually did it proactively, which is a little scary TBH. Still, Costco sticks better.

The primary slogan in the Fourteen Words is,

We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children,

Followed by the secondary slogan,

because the beauty of the White Aryan woman must not perish from the Earth.

Saran Wrap doesn't stick as well as the Costco stuff. They removed the polyvinylidene chloride years ago. I'm unsure if the Costco film still has it.

Mix in some peach herbal tea bags for another 15 cents?

The lady and I started just buying our own gifts and profusely thanking each other for them a few years back. So. Nothing.

It's nice because there are still gifts under the tree, without the angst of shopping and the likelihood of disappointment.

It really depends on spacing and if they're impacted. I had mine out at 35. Wasn't a big deal, but I had other teeth that were congeniality missing, along with gum disease, so nothing was really well attached.

This is what I'm talking about. When I say we should be working four days a week, my co-workers immediately respond "I don't want to work 4 tens." Then I say 4 eights and they say "I don't want to earn less" and "we'd lose our benefits" then I say same pay, same benefits and their brains drip out of their ears. They act as if paying them the same amount for less work is somehow unethical. It's maddening.

Certainly not.

The failure of Starbucks and Amazon workers is truly frustrating, as is the continued confused, nervous chuckles that even wage workers have when a 4-day work week is discussed.

That said, having a president actually supports unions has been very good for us. I've lived through Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama and Trump. None of them backed workers the way Biden has.

It's such an intriguing thumbnail. I guess I'll embrace the suspense.

I was going to say this. They're Ideal. You can slow-charge 16 hours a day, idle them for 4 and discharge for four.

A city bus has to do the opposite, which is why there are a lot of municipalities moving towards on-wire trolley charging, where corridors are powered with an overhead catenary system, but branches are run off-wire.

Even my much maligned city, with its poop piles, tents and opiate zombies, is so much better-off than it was when I was a kid.

I got hella teeth pulled.

I know it sounds terrible, but it really needed to happen. I'm waiting on my bone grafts to set before starting on my first set of implants. Even with my plastic partials, it's a whole new world. I don't think I had cracked a genuine smile since highschool. Now I can't stop.

As someone who has found a faith that works for me, personal, nonreligious and without a figurehead god, I've seen a lot of concrete benefits from exploring different ways of walking through reality. For me there was a huge difference between the sensation of feeling like a cosmic fluke, blown around in a confusing and random reality, and finding a way to feel like I'm an integral part of time and space.

It was a decision I had to make, years ago, for my own well-being. I've seen many others make their own personal, spiritual changes, for similar reasons to mine. Some move away from their childhood religions, towards faith structures that feel more healthy to them. Some return to theirs. I've also known people who've found meaning, comfort and purpose through studied, focused atheism and agnosticism.

You can probably tell by my tone that I'm not a big fan of organized religion. Any god that can be boxed up isn't really what I'm looking for. That said, I know from personal experience how powerful that sort of change in perspective can be. It's exactly the type of thing that could find high ranks in one's best of the year list.

Happy New Year!

Thanks for that. Really cool stuff.

Says it costs 5X the price of standard bulletproof glass, but that it's far stronger, and IR-transparent. Cool material.

I've been tangentially following Argentina for a couple of decades, lived there for a few months in 05. I started out really passionate about the situation there. These days , all I can do is shake my head.

Cursing all the time is like yelling all the time. It loses its effect. That said, If you're going to swear, don't fucking censor your words. It's just stupid.
