I believe you are from the Midwest? Maybe the North? I haven’t heard ope outside of those, except out of people who moved away from there.

I looked into immigrating to NZ before they changed the immigration rules a couple years ago but couldn’t find a job that matched that was hiring foreigners. I would be happy to move there and continue working my current job remotely, but it didn’t look like that was an option.

Both of those are strikes against her imo, but she’ll still get my vote.

I consider it not a real color, just a sick joke our brains play on us. I also think it’s an ugly color though, and hate that so many modern applications use it as a main color and don’t allow retheming to something pleasant like blue or green.

Best in class should be questionable now when they’re the sole direct cause of a worse global outage than any group of determined black hats ever has managed. If they’re considered best in class, the whole class needs to be held back to repeat the grade.

The Houthi leadership is just as evil as the Israeli leadership, in terms of how they brutalize and murder noncombatants who don’t share their views and want no part in their holy war.

I don’t want him or Harris, but I’d still vote “for” him even if he were in hospice simply because he’s not the fascist candidate who wants to completely dismantle democracy.

And they’re delivering a terrible product.

My family never could. I couldn’t myself until I was around 30, single with no kids. I believe it’s gotten much worse for families that are in that same socioeconomic class, especially those who have kids to raise.

A cast iron skillet. If you use it regularly the seasoning will be so good that it’s as functional as any PTFE nonstick pan, you can use metal cooking utensils on it instead of having to get plastic/silicone stuff (for PTFE), and it serves many purposes from stove top to oven. If you can find a “vintage” one at a yard sale from when they used to hand polish them smooth instead of pre-seasoning them with a rough texture, even better. When I bought a small Lodge one years ago, I used a grinder and sanding discs to polish off the factory textured seasoning and re-seasoned it myself, which worked a charm! If you go that route, I recommend doing it outside, because the amount of metal dust that it stirs up is impressive (and magnetic, so an absolute mess to clean up).

That is not an answer, it’s a man avoiding the question entirely.

God existing would absolutely place all responsibility upon God, not on its creation for doing only what it was created and constrained to do by that God. Every “decision” would require that God to allow it, making that God responsible.

5k people is a bigger population than many towns yes, but crammed into a 250x250x1100 foot box in the biggest case (Ford class)

Tiling window managers like i3 may be what you’re looking for

I assumed you were getting downvoted initially for the disingenuous “both sides” rhetoric which is a non-point that has been gone over in detail here ad nauseum, and then subsequently because you doubled down by implying if people downvoted your first point, it means they think politicians have their best interests in mind. I don’t think anyone believes that, so it kind of reads like you’re tilting at windmills.

Rich people having to take a ferry to the mainland to get their weed = immediate effort from legislators.

Great writing! This reminds me of Amy Hempel.
