A large magnet. I bought it on a whim ~20 years ago for $20 (still online for same price). I got it on a whim while buying gifts from an educational toy website. It comes in handy whenever I drop something small that ferrous or just need it to hold onto things.

I put on sun screen every morning to ward off basal cell skin cancer. It sucks but it’s cheaper than going to the dermatologist to have basal cell skin cancer removed. The worst part is getting it in my eyes. On the plus side, the splotchy age spots on my temples have disappeared

Quote: “NATO has no business in Ukraine. Ukraine, just like Russia, isn’t a NATO member, and my job is to make sure it stays that way.”

He said it was “his job” but never mentioned who he works for

$30 minimum wage and two parent households might be able to raise their child themselves

I am friends with a few guys that grew up together in a middle class white town. When they would get together and party they’d call each other awful words. I don’t think they’re racist or homophobic, the slurs they called each other were a sign of how close they are

Huh I’ve never seen a wall of these and I’m old enough to remember the 70’s. Glass block was something you replaced your old basement windows with

I had a Radio Shack computer in the early 80’s. When I sent in the warranty card, my address ended up on nerd mailing lists. Compuserve was the only public ISP and access cost $7 and hour IIRC plus it was a long distance call around 50 cents a minute (ask your grandparents). I was able to access the internet for free at public libraries. Had no idea what I was doing but managed to see weather predictions and access Nexus which was a digitized database of periodicals (magazines).

I looked into opening a bar long ago in a fairly rural college town. One of the regulations was to have one parking space for so many seats. It’s an issue in a neighborhood where I once lived. Most of the houses were built before cars so most residents park on the street. It became the hip new place to be and high end restaurants and bars popped up causing lots of conflict

Huh that’s interesting, maybe because San Francisco is so densely packed. It’s the exception not the rule. In our car centric country having parking space requirements is common sense like building codes.

Not just Nashville. Any city in the US and undoubtedly other countries. Also not just apartment buildings.

Set aside a cardboard box for stuff you haven’t used in years but you’d hate to throw away because it’s still useful. When the box fills up, drop it off at the thrift store and get another box

I’m up to 9 so far this year

Keep in mind that even after checking yourself after being in the out doors they may still be on your clothes or in your hair. Check yourself again the next day. It takes them awhile to burrow in

What happened to “America First”?

I’ll never forget being around 12 years old and hearing my dad address another adult by Mr+surname. It was Mr Palmer who organized the little league I grew up playing in and my dad coached. In school we were forced to address teachers and staff as Ms, Mrs or Mr but at that instance I realized treating others with respect is a choice

I too use stock for making food for my dogs. I’ll also make jello treats, it’s cheap, they love it, it’s really good for them.

I’d say pour salt into each pot but I fear the plants are the propery of a local nursery and it’s not their fault the store is managed by idiots

It’s too easy. Throw everything in the crock pot and in 8 hours you’re good to go. I like to break up the roast when it softens up to let the soup soak in better. My wife makes it. She might use golden mushroom soup instead of French onion. It’s a nice comfort food especially during the colder months

You forgot French onion soup

Show him YouTube videos of the fox making the same noise? Hopefully you can convince him

I’m a connoisseur myself and travel with my own stash. The stuff they have in most public restrooms is so cheap it’s like wiping your ass with a CVS receipt.
