A controversial bill that would require all new cars to be fitted with AM radios looks set to become a law in the near future. Yesterday, Senator Edward Markey (D-Mass) revealed that the “AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act” now has the support of 60 US Senators, as well as 246 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives, making...
I was able to turn off the beep on mine. Was no secret though, was explained in manual. Now if I ever get another microwave I'll know to look up how to turn off the beep.
It’s not that I can’t. The problem is that when I’m with someone, I deeply yearn to be alone. I’d love to have my life for myself, with no responsibility with no one else - just me....
Lots of people have relationships where they never live together, and see each other a few times a week. They go along like this for years, decades even. I knew one pair that didn't even live in the same country. What I think you want is a relationship but not a live-in partner. Just make sure you are dating people who want the same kind of relationship as you do, basically a permanent long distance relationship.
I appreciate your close and literal reading of that study. This was new news to me so I looked a bit further. STATnews and others seem to think it was the various lockdown protocols.
To be honest, I agree with you that it is speculation, and also that I tend to agree with the speculation. It's important to note when something is speculative.
This is atrocious. We must stop sending arms to Israel especially while it is fighting Hamas/Palestine with that equipment. Can anyone explain why we are such close allies with Israel? It's time and past time to reconsider that stance.
Thank you for posting this. I've put it on my FB page (very tiny, family and close friends only). My Bernie loving friends who won't vote for Biden because he's too conservative or whatever need to see it. And my conservative family members who consider themselves trump loving patriots need to understand the consequences. I captioned it "If you believe in democracy, please vote to support it."
If we're going to keep Trump from a 2nd term, each of us needs to do what we can to convince all our friends and family to vote in support of democracy.
That was a great simple explanation, thank you. I've certainly made some adjustments, and was thinking about it yesterday while shopping. Paper supplies have gotten so very expensive that I've (finally) purchased cloth napkins to use both for napkins and for smaller kitchen clean up jobs. I'll be using less paper, and more water for laundry. I'm estimating 1-2 loads worth of napkins per month. Pretty sure it will be both cheaper and more environmentally friendly than paper towels.
Not only does the comparison predate the covid pandemic, it also says nothing in particular about Trump. Some people think the economy would have done great under him, some don't, and some think other things are more important than just the economy. Still, there is no comparison to Trump here, there is only something showing that we've done better under Biden than many countries have done with their economies and leaders.

This event had been mixed, open to both men and women, since it was introduced to the Olympics in 1968. Zhang Shan's 1992 gold was the first medal won by a woman in this mixed event.
As soon as a woman won, all women were barred. How dare you, woman, win against a man?

Just learned that a friend of mine always tips 10% on takeout. Ive never tipped on takeout unless they offered me a water/soda while I waited or something....
I hate tipping culture so much. But I always tip on food service, even take out that I pick up. I'm not going to punish restaurant workers for our messed up system which pays them substandard "wages". During covid crisis I raised my tipping $ a bit, and haven't gone back down. Before covid I also tipped 10% on take out. Because I wanted my favorite restaurants to stay in business, I started tipping 20% for take out.
Maybe define conservative? At one time "conservative" had numerous laudable virtues such as being fiscally responsible and believing in the free market and having specific moral standards while keeping your nose out of other people's business. Back in the '70s conservatives were on board with protecting the environment, for instance, and discussions between liberals and conservatives gave us the Clean Air Act. I'm not remotely conservative, even by the old standards, but the 2 camps working together used to bring about some decent legislation.
Today conservative means something entirely different. The whole movement has gone whacko. I think in a new world with a new conservative party, all political conversation can move leftward. By a lot. In a world with a sensible conservative party, Democratic Socialism would not be a radical idea and Bernie Sanders would not be so alone.
It’s worth noting that the things Trump says aren’t just random nonsense; they’re part of a larger disinformation campaign run by the fossil fuels industry.
