uh oh, sounds like the hurricanes are gaining sentience

I buy mine from the bulk store bc it’s like the same price for 500 pills vs 30 from a normal drug store. I never finish them before the expiration, but whatever

I’m not gonna let the intruder in my home (who keeps hitting me) stay there because I refuse to break my lamp over his head.

Russians in Ukraine is a much larger threat than less shrubbery.

You sleep on your side and stomach and use the same amount of pillow for both?? Stomach definitely needs the least amount of cushion, except for people who use no pillow I guess. And side sleeping has an entire shoulder’s width of support to make up for. Totally different positions, you need an arsenal of pillows to really dial in the ergonomics.

This is an interesting point I haven’t seen before. I think I agree, but only after suicide for medical patients is legal. And also, what about people not in a life sentence (whether a shorter sentence or someone not incarcerated)? Should they have any legal outlet?

Is there a difference between wanting to kill yourself and not wanting to live through a life sentence?

Lots to unpack, let’s hit the big ones. Do any means justify peace? Is mass murder of entire countries okay because it would result in less overall friction afterward? How long does peace need to last after for it to make it worth it?

Displacement. Is it fair to the people who have lived in a country for generations to leave because of other’s actions? Moreso, many of them currently /want/ to leave (really really bad) but can’t, what should they do? And also, how is that fair to neighboring countries, they’re just required to take in refugees because Israel wants more land? (What if there weren’t neighboring countries?)

Finally, (please educate me), are universities very invested in Syrian companies/industries? That’s what the current protests are about, divestment from Israel. Are you required to care about all atrocities in order to care for one? What line marks which bad things in the world protesters should inclusively be knowledgeable about?

The eradication of millions of civilians is definitely anti-peace.

A similar situation would be the US joining WW2 on the Axis side. I mean once Britain, France, Russia, China, and the Jews were finished off, there’d be peace for a while right?

Ponder what unconditional support for Israel would mean for Palestinians in our current landscape.

Apparently, the average citizen pays about a half million in taxes in a lifetime. So this means 15 people spent their entire life being honest taxpayers, so these cops could be a piece of shit.

Glad the family got paid at least. Wild that in 2020 these cops didn’t have cams yet; not exactly a rural area.

Bad Omens - Like a Villian

Not a huge metal person, but coming from a rock background, I’ve really been into Bad Omens lately. They have a kinda alternative sound to them imo.

Does anyone know what the wealth of the bottom 99% is?

If you’re at all mechanical or work on cars/bikes or a homeowner, the Knipex Pliers Wrench is an excellent tool. It’s a set of leveraged adjustable parallel jaw pliers. So basically you can grab nuts, bolts, or anything with flats with tremendous leverage, and you can do it quickly on a range of sizes. Almost infinitely better than a crescent (adjustable) wrench, fills the spot of a whole set of open-ended box wrenches, and they’re excellent German engineering. Come in a range of sizes (bc there’s still different uses for big and small). Roughly $50-60 each, but sets are cheaper per. Plus, harbor freight makes a nice dupe of the 10in/250mm for $40 (find a coupon tho).

I was on the fence for a while, but I adore the tool and wish I had it years earlier. For most people, a 7in/180mm and 10in will fill most needs. The hype is real. Lifetime warranty too if you buy from authorized retailer (habor freight is also lifetime eyy)

Relevant quote from article…

“The Israeli military is currently using Rafael’s Spike missiles to target people inside buildings in the Gaza Strip right now. The same weapons that Canada is buying are being advertised as ‘battle tested’ against Palestinians.”

“For Canada to be choosing to purchase these weapons from Rafael is a direct endorsement and a direct financial support to the Israeli military’s devastation and carnage in Gaza,” Small added.

Downvotes for answering D: I’m not opposed to closing the account. But the museums alone could be costing boa 10-30/month, assuming each admission is paid out close to face value. Surely this helps the community more than a CU, and costs boa more than they could possibly make off me (since I pay no interest, and hold no checking/savings there).

CMV?

I will consider this. Is Amex a better organization than BoA? They both kinda seem like banking behemoths to me. Cust supp is nice, but it’s not something I use often.

I agree, I even have a savings account at a local CU. Tbh their dividends on that account have been disappointing. I may look into CDs through the same institution.

Considering I only have a CC through BoA, and I’ve explained how I believe I’m a net negative for them, how am I contributing to their investments? Perhaps they’re selling my data? Or perhaps I’m boosting their numbers by simply having an account? Honest question.

Honest answer? I have one of their CC that gives 3% on all online shopping/purchasing. Plus BoA has a program for all card members to get free entrance on the first weekend of each month to select museums.

Between both of those and paying it off each month, I like to think that I’m actually costing BoA a little bit of money (and getting some money from bank-hands into museum-hands)

I’m in a HCOL area, and all the TBs near me have them for 1.79. Although they were a dollar a month or two ago. They’re sizable, and 3 will absolutely fill me up, 2 is usually plenty.

TB usually has a pretty good combo box for less than $10, sometimes closer to $5/6. If you’re real picky and want certain things, then sure, get ready to pay $15+. But I personally find that I can’t spend more than $8 to get stuffed.

Isn’t his vest bulletproof? I hope we don’t find out
