Waste not want not.
In my area I see old beds thrown out pretty regularly. I try to collect the bed rails since they're usually made from a single piece of maple or oak. I've made a few thresholds from them.
I saw the headline and immediately knew what scene they had cut. I remember almost nothing about the movie, since I haven't seen it since I was 13 years old, but I remember that scene.
$6 for a dozen large eggs. $8.50 for 18 at PriceRite.
My neighbor is a neurologist and told me that an astoundingly high number of people who come to the ER due to a stroke had recently had a rapid neck adjustment by a chiropractor.
I will never go to a chiropractor after what she told me.
No. It took literal decades to get those initiatives in place. They were implemented veeerry slowly and only because laws were passed.
He did it better the second time around.
The first time looked a little awkward (though definitely recognizable as a Nazi salute.) The second one was spot on.
It's funny to point out this administration's complete lack of understanding of… well, everything, but don't think that a sloppily worded executive order is going to give you any protection in real life.
AT BEST you're going to get a rational judge who rules in your favor because of it. Until your case is appealed and the Trump appointee reverses that decision.
But in reality you're not going to have the money/time/energy to challenge this bullshit because the effects are going to be felt a tiny bit at a time, administered by faceless bureaucrats who are too afraid for their own lives to stand up to the fascist machine on your behalf. We're laughing at this order because it's not factually correct but IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER IF IT'S CORRECT because they're going to follow it anyway.
I've literally been pulled over for doing doughnuts (in a parking lot) before.
Weird how the rules don't apply to them.
Fascism. That's what's going on.
Today is a good day (for him) to die.
I guess that makes sense. So if they only sell 1 coin out of 1 million and they sell it for $100 then they can walk around saying the lot of coins as a whole are worth $100 million? (obviously a simplified example)
I get the impression is that in your mind there are only two teams: people who agree with you 100% and everyone else.
next Democrat president
LOL. Fascism is here. There will never be another Democrat president.
At the moment a search for #democrat on my facebook page returns a bunch of posts saying that searches for #democrat are blocked and a bunch (more recent ones) saying it isn't.
I was skeptical that this was an outrage campaign but with a real news source having a quote verifying the behavior from the company (the above referenced article was on the Der Spiegel front page and the update is at the bottom.) I'm less skeptical.
Pushing through a change doesn't happen by accidentally clicking on a button. Where I work it's a multistep process requiring manager approval. Even if the block happened by mistake it still means there was a mechanism in place to make it happen, configured so that it only censored left leaning hashtags. This is "not good."
The first I heard of Trump's memecoin was a headline declaring it was worth $25 Billion. I'm a pretty online person, so I tend to hear about these things pretty quickly. The article said it was worth $9 billion in 12 hours.
$9 billion is an unimaginable amount of money for any number of people to decide to "invest" in under 12 hours. The only way I can explain that happening is if many, very wealthy people, had been notified about the coin going up for sale ahead of time and wanted to curry favor with Trump.
What a fucking embarrassment this country is.
