I'm completely confused why the businesses in these mountain town HCOL locales don't just increase the wages paid to labor so that they can either cover their housing costs or transportation costs to...

Ordering Keystone light used to be a guaranteed way to blend in.

Good year to be a jumper in AK it looks like. More out on fires in there than available or committed in the entire lower 48.

FDA reportedly preparing to force Juul products off the US market

Agreed, but reading between the lines it sounds like there might be more going on here than just a boundary dispute.

I guess it’s plausible that there is a nail left in your case. If it’s actually there it should be something that could be recovered. It would also match bearing and distance from other points.

I...

highangle is the one to weigh in here.

Highly unlikely a mag nail survives a milling operation. In my experience it doesn’t matter if it is magnetized, they should be able to find it by bearing...

Noticeably fewer large trucks and SUVs on the road last weekend while driving the freeways. The ones that were out seemed to be hanging in the right lane doing less than the speed limit.

Trolling in a thread about dead kids. Bravo.

The best part about Bobby being involved in a thread like this is that you can predict almost exactly how it will play out: the lonely loser showing off his money and toys and bragging about his...

well yeah, but it sure seems like if we are only going to do one that in the context of the moment it would seem like Election Day would be the one.

I still don’t understand why it wasn’t Election Day that was added. The whole country should pretty much shut down for that IMO.

Americans don’t take enough time off anyways.

Only for known contacts. I have my work VoIP phone forwarded to voicemail.

Now people just call out of the blue on Teams, which is worse.

Wasn't sarcasm. Like I said, you can go fuck yourself. Double go fuck yourself for not owning it.

Like I said. You can go fuck yourself.

Minimum wage in CA was like $6.50 during this time frame.

I think it’s $14 now, maybe higher in Berkeley?

The person who roll stops it first.

Yawn.

It seems like that happened in OR when we legalized and lasted a few years until the City Councils figured out how much tax revenue they were passing on.

I try to remind myself daily that human characteristics occur on a normal distribution.

Do they have a couple shootings a week and homeless crisis in Bellingham?

What are they going to do, dedicate a scarce WSP trooper to chain and snow tire duty?

Good luck with doing it without someone with a badge and gun in today’s world.

It also has a bunch of scientists basically saying don’t be an idiot and not get the vaccine.

Sorry, my earlier wasn’t pointed at R. Patrick. There are other voices out there pushing the Vit D thing hard as a substitute for vaccination.

I don’t think the Vit D thing is new, it’s been bouncing around since last summer.


Like most things, there is some truth buried in all the shit. With the anti vaccine crowd, it’s that there may...

The Vit D thing is a hot topic with the usual anti-vaccination “experts”. To the point that they portray it as being so urgent that you should go out and spend money to get a blood test to determine...

Unless you know how to tune a saw, IMO you are asking for trouble.

Stihls always “popped” on the second or third pull on full choke and then started on half choke. You might be flooding the saw.
