I worked in an office tower across the street from a hotel. I was directly flashed twice and saw 4-5 couples going at it over a few years, one of which was the woman nude, pressed against the window, getting it from her friend from behind. That was a nice show.

Food bank worker here: though we have no such deal, money with no restrictions on use is just about the best thing to donate. It lets us buy fresh staples that otherwise are hard to come by, like eggs, butter and milk, or seasonally appropriate things like turkeys or hams (we had a total of 3 turkeys donated before Thanksgiving so we purchased around 50).

Next best thing to donate is whole cases of shelf stable foods. Individual cans and boxes must be inspected for best by date, damage to the packaging and complete labels, which becomes time intensive when you have 15 55 gallon barrels full of cans from food drives. Whole cases give you 12 packages of the same thing, all good to go from the factory.

Time is also great, but usually more needed the rest of the year. We don't let people volunteer at our outreach center during the holidays if they don't volunteer year round, simply because the people who only show up on the holidays tend to be doing a sort of poverty tourism that we find a little distasteful. Also, fresh volunteers need training and things are simply too crazy around the holidays to deal with it. If anyone is interested in food bank work, please find somewhere to volunteer the rest of the year. Feeding people is extremely satisfying work and we do need help the other 11 months of the year.

Yes but you have to unwrap so many Kraft singles to make it.

Because white supremacists' arguments are easily dismantled to their core components of idiocy, racism and ignorance. They can't convince anyone who isn't a moron racist and they believe that those who don't think like they do are trying to replace them so they resort to mass murder. Because they are racist morons.

If you don't want shit bricks why did you mod Minecraft?

Did you know that if you use Teflon pans in a house with pet birds they might die from the fumes? Since we historically used canaries to detect dangerous gasses in coal mines, might we take that as an indication that Teflon pans should not be used at all?

The scratched ones are bad and should not be used. Going forward you should ditch all your nonstick pans and buy cast iron or stainless steel.

People saw that video of the sea turtle with the straw in its nose and, rightfully, got mad. If only they also got mad about microplastics being inside everyone and everything.

We already have heavily armed BLM and Antifa folks. Oregon contains multitudes.

The law in question was doomed to fail. I'm halfway sure it was put on the ballot just to encourage pro gun people to vote.

No doubt this is from the makers of Cloaxia.

Clothing shrink happens when fibers absorb water/warm up and the edges of their structure (cellulose strands in cotton, protein scales in wool) stand up more and become more likely to catch on their neighbors. When they do, the fibers lose their ability to move independently from each other. As this happens, more and more fibers catch, turning the agitation in your washer and dryer into a sort of ratchet that shrinks the dimensions of the fabric.

Cotton can be un-shrunk with constant pressure. Ever had 100% cotton jeans tighten up in the wash that feel great after a day of wearing them? They shrunk and then your body undid the shrink. Wool isn't as forgiving - the aforementioned scales clamp down on each other when they cool and dry and are effectively impossible to get free from each other. Wool can be treated before it is knit or woven into cloth to prevent shrinking and make it safe for the wash. Treated wool usually has a trade name attached to it like Superwash or something similar.

Twoterus.

I wonder if this interacts with Android Auto. AA essentially uses your car's speakers and screen as peripherals for your phone, so hopefully it's sandboxed out of the car's systems (except then it's Google reading your messages).

Hahaha... haha... no

Giraffics?

Lae'zel?

Is it not credible that a small slice of people might be extra sensitive to something that the rest of the population can handle without issue?

Billionaires are worse than everyone else. Greed on their scale is killing the planet and people.

It would seem Musk assumed the same thing.

Prior to our understanding of electricity, many believed that electricty-producing animals were injecting some sort of venom.

Which is something anyone who needed psuedoephedrine but got phenylephrine could have told them decades ago.
