I limit my driving, try to limit my plastic consumption, and try to push our household into energy-saving appliances. We plant native plants, and do a ton of research when voting, and encourage others to vote.

At the end of the day, most stuff is going to be best directed from the top-down, such as switching from methane “natural gas” to renewable baseload power, like advanced nuclear, geothermal, hydro, etc. or preserving democracy so we can make these decisions instead of the red menace currently in charge.

Getting people to vote for democracy and climate policy has an outsized impact over my personal choices and habits, regardless of how good or bad they are.

I’ve really been enjoying chia seeds recently. They are great in smoothies. Spinach too, it’s essentially undetectable so you can just add a handful of either. Works great in any type of smoothie, and feels like “dessert” even when it’s just fruits and veggies and seeds. Plus, you can freeze (or buy) frozen produce, or freeze what you can’t eat, so it keeps for ages.

Unflavored yogurt tends to work best, imo.

Going the wrong way down a one way bike lane, or blocking the box on a bike lane. Honestly, we have pretty great tourists, these are minor issues.

Newscorp definitely should be broken up. That fucking Australian cunt fucked everyone worldwide.

What’s an invitation home? Can you elaborate? We want to get a home someday, but I’m not aware of all the nuances yet.

Nestle, Shell, BP, prager U, PayPal (interac please), Uline, Home Depot, Wal-Mart, that dollar store brand.

All of these have destroyed the environment, destroyed our democracy, or destroyed our small cities and towns.

You can get LED film off Amazon for like, $7. It blocks those annoying LEDs on tech devices, monitors, wall outlets, kitchen appliances, and my nemesis, smoke detectors with stupidly bright LEDs.

Best $7 you’ll spend this year.

All guns should be surrendered and destroyed en masse. They are fun, but society would be happier, healthier, and with far less suicides and DA without them.

I’ve seen too many close calls to consider them safe for society at large.

The last one is merry-go-rounds :)

They might not be, but God they are cute. I know they are wild animals, but I wanna get in there and play with them. :)

Zoom in on the face of the one in the header pic. They look like wise, noble anthro librarians from a TTRPG.

If it’s before noon, it’s salvageable. If it’s afternoon, probably not. It also depends on how much. If it was a very minor shart (1ml), that’s a bit different than actually shitting your pants, imo.

If it’s the latter, it may be time to see a doctor.

Participated in civics in a very uplifting way. Hopefully it will make the papers tomorrow :)

Beef, carrots, beef or chicken stock, three cups of water, spices (Chile peppers or hot sauce, pepper, rosemary).

You can also add additional ingredients like potatoes or celery if you have them.

Heat on low for 8 hours, or high for four. The texture will be better on 8. If you have the time, sear the beef ahead of time so that it has a nice seared look.

The meat should fall off the bone 8+ hours in a slow cooker.

Edit: I misread the question. I thought it was “lowest quality product that you still use” (I was distracted)

Original comment: Harbor freight calipers. Surprisingly still accurate and undamaged through years of abuse. Kind of amazing, and shockingly useful.

Dumb and Dumber for sure.

Progressive here too. We’re staying on the blue coast.

Take a trip to Italy, as long as you can, and do a ton of research before you commit. That is a very large commitment, and you should have the language down pat, enough savings for a year, and a job lined up, or very strong prospects. If you are missing any of these things, I wouldn’t recommend going.

For me personally, I wouldn’t move unless there was significant danger. The grass is always greener. There will always be benefits and tradeoffs. I couldn’t see my family moving to Italy, even if we were straight. Their slide is not too far off from our own.

Yeah, expensive up front, but the blades are cheap. I got on the Harry’s train before they got bought up and were cheap. Now, whoever bought them has been jacking up prices, which had me looking for a cheaper alternative.

Harry’s also gave me plastic guilt. There is a lot of waste. :p

I recently switched to a Leaf one and love it. It’s about the same as my Harry’s razor, but a hell of a lot less expensive when even Costco is selling their reloads at $27. The leaf blades are way less expensive, and they aren’t even proprietary.

Probably the G-man, from Half life. Complex, interesting, and definitely not human, despite outward appearances.

He radiates the same aura as Randall Flagg in Stephen King’s book, titled The Stand. But he isn’t wholly evil.

He also has incredibly good monologues.

Probably some minor hops here and there, but my last serious jumps were while skiing in a mascot, to get some photos, weekend before last :)
