Saw this one at the Denver protest today!

Wasn’t it awesome! There were SO MANY PEOPLE, it was awesome to see. The march next to stopped traffic with most of the cars honking and cheering us on WHILE THEY ARE STUCK IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF US was amazing. People are PISSED.

If nothing else the constant exposure normalized it for you and made it easier to start. I’m glad you were able to quit. I’ve heard nicotine addiction can be stronger than heroin for some people. So kudos to you!

Yeah man. When I was in the military in the early to mid 90’s they hadn’t banned it at the federal level at first. It was so disgusting having to work inside. I would go back to the barracks at night coughing if I had to work next to certain people in my unit for any length of time because they were chain smokers and as a lowly PFC I couldn’t say shit to anyone about it. I would ALWAYS volunteer for any duty outside just to get away from it.

Second year I was in, they banned all indoor smoking across the entire federal government and I was SO HAPPY. The amount of bitching from those crusty old soldiers though… 😂

You know it didn’t occur to me that different states banned it at different times and I lived where it happened very early. So that makes sense!

Thanks! I use Voyager so I’ll poke around in the settings.

A pair of pliers is just one tool.

And an au pair is just one person, usually a woman, and they aren’t made of a piece of gold, much less two.

Checkmate, linguists!

Manually? Or is there an easier way to mass block them?

Hahaha that’s great and thank you because I’m stealing it. 😁

Islay malts always taste like somebody put a cig out in them. Ew.

Balvenie 14 year for me, thank you very much!

If you’re constantly doing weird, irrational shit, you’re crazy.

If you’re constantly doing weird, irrational shit but you have money, you’re eccentric.

Yes, that’s why I said it wasn’t perfect. But it’s an improvement. I didn’t notice it was only for Mexico City, so thanks for catching that!

Thanks, Debbie.

Can confirm, I’m just hitting my first year of using Tumbleweed as my main OS after giving up on Microsoft. It plays almost everything without issue. The very few things I boot into Windows for are games that I want to use Autohotkey with, old games that don’t work well with Proton, or VR.

When you switch and realize how much better it is than Windows, and you can rest easy knowing your own OS isn’t spying on you or stealing your data, it tends to make you a little bit of an evangelist.

Installing the popular Linux distros today is easier than Windows XP was, and it’s arguably easier than Windows 11. It definitely asks you less questions and doesn’t require you to change 30 different settings from the defaults.

Linux has come a long way from my first install of CentOS on a server in the mid 00’s. You had to be pretty dedicated to run linux successfully back then, but these days it’s cake.

I for one am not willing to feed a milk-bone addiction, no matter how good a boy he is.

Only a recommendation against. I bought a KitchenAid KODE500ESS double wall oven and apparently it comes free with a whole pile of regret.

The upper oven glass exploded while cooking baked potatoes the first week I had it. Shit happens but the hoops I had to jump through to get a new oven were just ridiculous. But I did eventually get one.

The glass on the bottom oven exploded right before I sold the property less than a year later. It had never been cooked in. I opened the door to check it and closed the door (normally) at which point it detonated itself.

I had to threaten KitchenAid with CFPB and my state attorney general to fix the second one under warranty. They wanted $900 before they caved because “oven glass is not a functional item and not covered under warranty”.

Just don’t buy from them. They are out to screw their customers.

There are a few varieties I have in mind that I’d like to see served at a White House dinner.
