It's insane that you have people working multiple part time jobs totaling 40+ hr/week but still don't have employer-subsidized healthcare because employers don't have to offer it to employees working under a certain number of hours/week. And there are businesses that deliberately offer only part time jobs for that exact reason.

Thanks for this fascinating info!

Why it's done

Don't smoke when you do it

Oh, interesting. Never heard of calcium carbide. Thanks for the info!

I'm happy to let it take the time to get its strength, but I am curious about getting it to flower too. Im guessing lots of light and more phosphorus?

Have we been absolved of Harambe?

I've just started on this journey. After a few false starts that died, I finally got one to root well. The plant is about 8 months old now and looks pretty happy.

Yeah, and I think she's had plastic surgery to fit herself into that weird mold of Melania and Kim Guilfoyle, dark hair, wide cheekbones and squinty eyes covered in heavy eyeliner and mascara. She was actually kind of cute looking before that (though still ugly in her views).

Not only does the Republican presidential candidate have no ideas about running the country, the existing senator of Ohio, someone presently in power, is busy making up stories for the media to illustrate "white Americans' plight" rather than actually working on legislation that will help his constituents.

Salt meats the night before you cook them. Especially tougher cuts, but salt is good for all cuts.

Browning ground beef really means getting a sear on part of it, not just making it not pink. And split it into batches so that you don't have all the water coming out and boiling the meat instead of searing it.

When baking, weigh ingredients. Most of cooking is art; baking is science.

Just get used to the facts of life, okay? No need for breathless reporting, gunshots in the vicinity of Trump should be considered an everyday thing now.

Just wait till he realizes Biden is not running for president.

Because all his earlier life was spent paying pretty women (and girls) to hang around pretending to be attracted to him (when it was actually money, food, and/ot entertainment).

It's got a much thicker texture than your standard yogurt. There's a fair amount of variation in Greek yogurts. Fage is probably the thickest and iirc a little grainy.

That probably describes a good chunk of Trump supporters. They are very enamored by the idea of strength and the terms they use reflect that influence it has on their world. The idea that America is presently diminished and will become great = a strong and respected nation leading other nations. The desire for hypermasculine men and submissive women. If their leader looks weak, they're sensitive to that. They'll deny it as long as they can, of course. But there could very well be a point where the collective feeling turns away from Trump.

And convinced that if he loses it can only be because the Democrats cheated and/or the undocumented immigrants voted and/or some other nefariousness.

Isn't that socialism? :o

There's no voting on the rules. One family (and this is just the one family that spoke up about it) vs one or two families that wanted Trump there means zip. The article focusing on the complaining family is just making it about human interest. Rules is rules.

The family may have invited him, but taking campaign photos is disallowed. The inviting family DOESN'T make the rules and their invitation doesn't change the rules.

Re-educated by being murdered

Peter Thiel is so weird. Gay and conservative just don't go together. But I suppose his billions cushion him from the usual level of contempt.

Now if they actually dumped Trump they might have something there, but there's just no way in hell he will.

This is on the level of tan suit horror, maybe even stupider.

As a California resident I can tell you the only white people working in those fields are the owners and supervisors. The immigrants and undocumented are much of the reason a head of lettuce doesn't cost $8. And this kind of work is so hard nobody else wants to do it. Early hours, cold in the morning, hot sun in the afternoon, the only shelter is when you're taking a break, a lot of stooping and bending.

Yeah, but they're also busy trashing Kamala too.

"Is Harris an ideal candidate? Is she an incredibly talented orator? Is she deft on her feet and nimble in debate? Is she a famous wonk? Does she have a long track record of competence at the state and federal level? Has she been scrutinized by a tough no-nonsense press and come out stronger on the other side?" wrote Wright. "No, of course not — but she’s an alternative to Trump/Biden, and that’s probably going to be enough."

Made by the same guy who brought you the cyber truck , yeah, I'll pass

The far right is obsessed with this image of hyper masculinity from Alex Jones's magic pills to Andrew Tate to AI generated Trump with Superman's figure. Their ideal men in that world do not show emotion and they damn well never cry even in happiness, that stuff is for women and other weaklings that need a strong man to run their lives. And it's all based in insecurity.

They have no idea that people with real strength of character are secure in themselves and can show tenderness and vulnerability knowing that does not define them as weak.

'"What they are doing is a communist takeover of our country… This is Communist; this is Marxist; this is fascist," teh Republican presidential nominee further said. '

Tell me you don't know the meaning of these words without saying you don't know the meaning of these words.

(And yes this shitshow of a news site did spell it 'teh')

Isn't he the same guy who's been promising to cut energy costs "in half or less than half," eh?

So it can notify you when the water has reached the set temperature or the time you set for cooking is up. Which can be handy. However, I found the BT very weak on my Anova and it would lose connection when I went into my home office a mere 25' away, so I stopped using it. There's actually no need for the water to be up to temperature before you put your food in, and food can sit as long as you want; half the point of sous vide is to be able to hold food at temp without overcooking. So you don't really need the timer either.

Thanks ❤️ My mom was the one with the green thumb. She had a backyard full of flowers, flowering shrubs and trees, but I did buy some of the same kinds for my own home to remind me of her.

It's possible. In both my house and my mom's, the plant was/is very close to a window, as close as possible. Mom's was south facing, mine is west, but my window is twice as large as hers. (The top of both windows is about 1.5' from the ceiling but the windowsill is higher on hers.)

Guns, and each boob the size of her head

I tried propogating cuttings from this one to give to my sister but stopped after 3 failures. I generally can keep plants alive but I think my green thumb consists entirely of stubbornness, not talent. I hope you'll get yours going :)

I hate lugging around that heavy noisy thing, and I don't have pets. I'm a bit shocked at how much hair two humans drop in a week. The robovac runs twice a week and I empty it once a week, and it keeps the more open/obvious spaces looking pretty pristine. Dust on a shiny floor really shows. There are places where it cannot go and those need to be done by me, but they're less visible areas so no need for frequent vacuuming.

Well damn, I'm not voting for him again! Lol

The words we've been using before -- fascists, neonazis, dictators -- oddly enough seem to make Republicans laugh at Democrats because we make them sound scary/we sound scared. Calling them weird trivializes them, and reduces them to barely under creepy uncle status. Calling them weird stings because they think themselves the epitome of normal -- they think they're the "real" Americans, not the aberrant ones.

Apparently they are the unmovable kind. Set in stone, unable to swivel and take video of this very large crowd being pushed away from them. They cannot follow, alas

Goddammit. I wasn't aware of this about Dvorak. Wtf is wrong with people, indeed.

Similar situation, occasional Dem donor getting donation requests from every Democrat running in every state. It's annoying and I tend to unsubscribe but have occasionally reported as spam. I prefer to donate to more high stakes races.

I'm 2 decades younger than Trump, got into a bike accident over a year ago, taking a deep scrape on my shin, and I still have a scar.
