It was Katrina that made me even think of doing it.
Yeah, I’m not in a flood zone, but seeing things like this is why I mounted a hatchet on my attic wall. It’s pretty certain I’ll never need it, but I can live a little lighter with the delusion that I’ll be able to hack my way onto the rooftop instead of dying, unfound, in a sweltering attic.
I’ve given money to both charities and people. Here’s the thing about donating, though: you’ll get on all sorts of mailing lists and shit, and you’ll get lots more begging letters, emails, phone calls and texts. You know those PBS/NPR donation drives, where they’re like “We just need ten more donors this hour, it doesn’t matter how much!” or those charities that send you pre-printed labels and say “Hey, just send us five bucks, that’s all we need”? Yeah, they’re harvesting your information. If you even send them a penny, they’ll be back for more, and they’ll sell or trade your information to other charities.
I give money to our local volunteer fire/ems department every year, but I don’t use their pre-printed mailer; I hand them cash when Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny come through on their trucks. I have one of those pre-paid Visa gift cards that aren’t tied to an actual person; if I do an online donation, I’ll use that and give them fake information. The money is legit, the information is good enough to pass, but they can’t come harass me for more.
This includes all donations, by the way - political, religious, civic, charity, social, whatever. Do it in cash or by an anonymous Visa gift card.
The frustrating thing is that, if the US cut off all arms this minute, Israel still has enough munitions to continue to pummel Gaza for eight months!
I think we should cut off all arms today. Israel still gets to do whatever the fuck it wants, but they’ll have eight months of dwindling munitions to start seriously weighing the actual consequences of trying to survive in an area completely surrounded by neighbors that it’s seriously pissed off without an endless supply of free weapons.
Eh, my initial thought was “personal computer”, so the ® actually does help.
I’m sure she’ll be just as vigorous in granting him every conceivable doubt as she is with Trump.
Sounds like another fucking narcissist.
It seems like you’re leaning toward getting standard light fixtures. Are you looking at the ones with naked bulbs, or those with the glass coverings over the bulbs?
If you’re looking at naked bulbs, and if your landlady doesn’t already have one, you might also consider getting her a lightbulb-changing kit so she can change any dead bulbs without climbing a ladder. Something like this with an appropriate-length pole.
This was obvious from the moment they built a road cutting Gaza in half.
I’m vegetarian, so I’m curious: are there any interesting vegetarian main-course dishes in there? Maybe something that’s been forgotten or is unusual?
Well, is not like covid is going away.
This is why regulations are a good thing.
I’d say the bottom four sides are SSW, SSE, ESE, and SSE again. And the North four sides are the big curving bit on the right and then the three flat bits separated by the rivers.
Funny, Musk is usually all pals with power brokers, they remind him of home.
I like the idea of this match, but I’m cautious about the article. All they say about the gas-powered boat is that it’s a similar size; they don’t mention the actual type of boat the chase boat was, and I didn’t see it in a brief skim of the video. I suspect that a notable percentage of the electric boat’s efficiency is due to its being a hydrofoil. If the gas boat is the standard hull-in-the-water, it would naturally be less efficient.
That there was a disembodied head that lived in the toilet at night.
I used my PC to wake up my android phone; there a Google thing that will make it don’t for five minutes even if it’s on silent. The two times that wasn’t easily accessible, I asked someone nearby to call my phone. Once I found it immediately; the other time, I found it later from the “missed call” beep.
FTA: There is risk of a crush when crowd density exceeds about five people per square meter.[a] For a person in a crowd a signal of danger, and a warning to get out of the crowd if possible, is the sensation of being touched on all four sides. A later, more serious, warning is when one feels shock waves travelling through the crowd, due to people at the back pushing forward against people at the front with nowhere to go.
