I close my eyes, take slow deep breaths, and with each breath slowly count up and down from 0 with the high number increasing by one on each cycle. Eg. 0 1 0 1 2 1 0 1 2 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 0… It requires just enough concentration to keep my brain from drifting off to other thoughts (usually), but is boring enough that I rarely get to 9 without falling asleep. If find my mind does wander, I just try again.
They’ve broken the system and want to say “look at this broken system, we can’t trust it!”
This has been their process for… ever. They cut funding to government agencies (eg. FEMA), then when said agency has a hard time doing their job. they point a scream that the agency can’t do it’s job and should therefore have it’s funding cut. Rinse, lather, repeat. And right wing voters fall for the sham every 👏 single 👏 time 👏.
That’s an absolutely fair point.
Nevertheless, my overall point stands. Each fast food place I worked at had their own chain specific jargon. Nobody used, or cared about, sit-down restaurant jargon.
I mean, the guy who used the restaurant term was giving directions directly to a restaurant.
A “fast food joint” is not a restaurant in that sense. Nobody with any common sense would expect a bunch of kids working their (likely) first job for spending money to be up on, or care about, restaurant jargon.
fire its owner
Ummm, pardon? How does that work?
… her former employer from 2019 until she was laid off in 2021…
Gosh, I wonder why.
SCIENTISTS CAN’T EXPLAIN BrundleFly2077’s hyperbolic discourse
aren’t not dependent on each other
So, they are dependent on each other.
That means you’re waiting to use the bell until you’re right behind people. That’s missing the point of the bell entirely. You’re just grasping for excuses to have music regardless of how rude it is to other people on the trail.
I’ve got a bell on my handlebars for that.
People around where we live mount Bluetooth speakers to their bicycle and ride around on nature trails sharing their music with everyone because who the hell goes out in nature to experience nature?
Also, the paper casually mentions how rooftop solar reduces the cooling load of the building. What I didn’t see acknowledged was that that extra cooling load (presumably traditional A/C) on a building without rooftop solar moves the heat out of the building into… (drum roll), the surrounding environment. So… the heat still got to the surrounding environment, it just took a longer path to get there.
Or force them to get a gay marriage.
That seems like a perfectly reasonable place to build that’s not obviously at threat from hurricanes. But sometimes shit happens that couldn’t be easily foreseen, and THAT’S what insurance is for.
My point, however, is that insurance is NOT to make other policy holders foot the expense of someone repeatedly repairing/rebuilding after completely foreseeable/inevitable events.
To anyone that insists on having a house right on the beach on the Gulf Coast, I say, “Insure thy self.”
If people don’t have the common sense to not build houses in places that are guaranteed to be destroyed by a natural disaster sooner than later, then I shouldn’t have to subsidize their rebuilding costs through my insurance premiums.
Truth Social seems to be a target-rich environment for people who are easy to con.
Ya don’t say.
