I need to replace the pads on my brakes. I guess I better get on it.

Ya, hopefully OP is in a safe place if need be.

Wow, that looks a lot like a China themed sign for a hotel/restaurant in my little town. The sign used to have a Great Horned Owl family living in it. I miss them.

I read the article, and I am also not really sure what the author was trying to accomplish. Right now (in the US at least) is not very similar to 2008 and I am unsure how many “lessons learned” for folks like myself would be useful.

I am unsure how to best do the pronouncing, but en Español: por favor (last part of favor is more pronounced) gracias (first part is more pronounced) In English: please thank you (pronounce more the part that makes sense for the situation)

What about you :)

Wow, thanks! I did not think about a reverse image search. I followed the instructions in that thread, and specifically selecting the three dots and allowing restricted access worked. What I was finding from a web search was from earlier in 2024, or even older. Obviously I was not using the best search techniques. Much appreciated!

You may have a local or regional org to help, and there are multiple national groups that cover a variety of bases. Legal funds, advocacy, news. Pick your passion.

Oh ya, I should have added that this link isn’t actually a link… No help whatsoever. Edit to add I am not sure of this pop up is from the app or not, but I think it is from the OS.

Mug cloud?

Haha I worked with an adult who would do this. Mostly on lamps, they didn’t seem to happy about it and sometimes did it in front of others.

I live in an area that was part of the sagebrush rebellion, I work in places that Claude Dallas did his thing, and it is very conservative here. I am also a federal land management employee. There is no push for this here. I notice my state isn’t named in the article, mostly higher population states, but I think that this movement will have difficulty getting traction with most right wing land users due to concerns about what it will cost them. Ranchers get a pretty good deal on public land, and it may be telling that mining and timber groups are no longer involved.

At any rate, this “coalition” is definitely something to keep watching. I used to live in New Mexico and there was, at that time, a ranching propaganda publication that really stoked fears about things that just didn’t exist. People are driven to decide on fear and we have to provide an answer to that.

Wait, so significant portions of the US population will need identification beyond a state-issued ID? If so I feel like this hasn’t been in the news or I’ve really missed a big headline.

The different things she did while sleep walking were pretty incredible: navigating steps, getting supplies, having conversations. As a younger child, I thought these things were hilarious and enjoyed them as sibling conversational material. Not really in a mean way, we just poked fun at each other. I rolled out of bed a lot. I am sure she had material from me 😆

My sister sleptwalked a lot at this point. She gave a lot of material to work with but I always had this in my back pocket 😄

Where I live, we are still in the winter/spring cycle, so we have a mud season. That is mainly what this is referencing. But to your point, we have been very fortunate with our winter precipitation and our positioned to be better off than much of the western US. I hope you get some moisture and don’t have a repeat of what I saw in Portugal ❤️

That was pretty helpful! I have heard that the ice on some of the flat land lakes can be a few feet thick, and up higher can be 10+. I guess that is enough!

I also appreciated the polar bear weight unit 😄

Near me, I see folks out on ice like this. I always wonder about the safety (especially when they have machines out there) but it looks like fun! I hope you can get out there sometime soon.

I feel like this could be equally at home as an instructional example for dealing with challenging situations. It definitely doesn’t hit the same as the cats commenting about licking buttholes.

I had never heard of Severance before and was curious what exact argument was going to be made 😅

I do! That is a key to a house I haven’t been to since 2018. It’s my package opening key 🙂 But good info to share! Don’t post your keys.
