Actually there are 94 very specific reasons.

We didn’t end up seeing them. But bae’s pics are amazing! Thank you.

Got an unexpected fun surprise on my hike today. Went to the trail next to the reclaimed wetlands. The city's general aviation airport is also next...

It was kind of a self inflicted wound on trump's part. If he would've just acknowledged that they had sex then she wouldn't have been needed as a...

True. Although I could probably test the limits of your assumption. :)

Ugggh. No. She literally spends 2-3 hours every day out there. Also the hoa no longer allows potted plants on driveways but she and one other woman...

This got me curious. A quick search on amazon finds that people make standalone induction burners specifically for woks. I don't know enough about...

Indeed! It will be sad when our neighbor passes, both because she's a total sweetheart and because the area in front of our house will look way less...

I wish we had a footed tv room. SO has the tv on virtually 100% of the time that he’s home. The downstairs of our 1575 sq foot home has no doors...

That’s gorgeous! I can see why you wanted to move there!

Had a lovely hike about ten minutes south of us this weekend. That's downtown San Francisco in the distance (the salesforce tower is the tallest...

That's an interesting observation. And not one I would've ever thought of. But it makes sense since the surface area of a wok on the burner is...

Leashes and muzzles are a thing that can be used if someone knows their dog is poorly trained.

Besides being politically tome deaf it also strikes me that it’s an admission that one has no clue how to train a dog.

I sure hope Kristi Noem doesn’t have other dogs.

There’s a difference between Palestinian sympathizers and Hamas sympathizers. Kind of the same as acknowledging that not all republicans are loser...

After using my friend's induction hotplate for a couple of weeks to make coffee I bought my own. I love it for that but haven't started...

I haven’t read the book either and am glad I hadn’t before seeing the movie since then I would have probably been disappointed. Of course now I need...

And this is a good example of why the decrease of public spaces is a bad thing. There’s been a big effort to turn perceived public spaces into...

So are the courts going to decide that the ‘condition of college campuses’ outweigh the first amendment?

So first amendment rights are not a 24/7 thing? Sounds kind of similar to the idea that homeless people need to figure out how to not need to sleep...

Of course these arrests are kibuki. They aren't about "trespass". They are about shutting down inconvenient opinions.

I think that's advocating violence, so yes, they should be arrested if that's what actually happened. But that seems to have been an isolated event...

Apparently the cops in DC actually know what the first amendment is: https://wapo.st/3JGJ2Tw

I was lukewarm about the new stacked laundry machines but we got $400 selling the ten year old white ones on Craigslist and it’s nice having the...

If we weren’t tight in storage we probably wouldn’t have done this project. But with the space freed up by taking the furnace out of the hallway...

Thank you. It's a huge improvement. The old cabinets were pretty much useless because neither of us is anywhere near basketball player tall. And...

The bathroom part of the project is complete. Still waiting on the pantry cabinet for the kitchen but should have that in a couple of weeks. Here's...

So the house I mentioned at the beginning of this thread closed last week at the full asking price of $730k. That's good news if/when we decide to...

I’ve bookmarked the article for when I have more time to give it the consideration it deserves. My initial comment though is that our heat pump has...

I should clarify that when I say "common practice" I'm applying my perspective from my area of the commercial insurance world. Unlike automobile or...

Travelers don't need bottled water. At least not in the US. It's been illegal to sell bottled water at SFO airport for years now. Everyone brings...

It's unlikely that homeless people are going to start camping on the hill behind our house. They already have places to camp. People with RV's camp...

And if none of those options is available to the person it’s ok if the city makes it illegal for them to sleep?

While I don't advocate for people to kill others I actually like the idea of composting deceased humans. My parents both chose not to be embalmed,...

Interesting. I wonder if they're getting their money's worth from the investments. At least Saudi Arabia waited until after Trump's son in law left...

No kidding. That reminds me of this story. ...

So where exactly should the homeless of Grants Pass sleep?

I agree. However one of those ways of dealing with it should not be to simply criminalize existence and then shrug one's shoulders.

Life liberty and the pursuit of happiness are kind of bedrock principals here. Maybe I missed the part about ‘life liberty and the pursuit of...

Are there not already laws on the books criminalizing the problems that sometimes happen when homeless people exist in parks or other public places? ...

We actually have a lot of freezer space so I may get a couple more bags while I'm out tomorrow. This is an insanely good price. And we both love...

Indeed. One of the issues we ran into with the rental EV was chargers that were inaccessible outside of certain hours. We ended up going to two that...

My sister bought a bolt EUV and loves it. After the various rebates/tax credits it was only $18k and since they have a garage and aren’t roadtrip...

For a lot of people EV’s make sense. Especially as a second car that rarely, if ever, goes far from home. I probably wouldn’t buy a Tesla because I’m...

Went to Safeway today and they had the 2 lb bags of frozen jumbo shrimp on sale. $8. Down from the normal $20! I got two. When I mentioned it to SO...

I saw that the other day. As powerful as those things are that would be truly scary. Saw another one today. I guess there are going to be as...

Do you have details about this? Is it more money than they poured into president Emoluments Trump’s pocket during his presidency?

I’m Chicago itself. He bought when he was mid 30’s he was there for work which involves a fair amount of ‘entertaining’ insurance brokers which...

And for what it’s worth I know that you wouldn’t like Dallas weather and I have no idea about diving there but boss likes Dallas way more than he...

Rereading my post I can see that it wasn’t really that clear that boss had moved from Chicago to Dallas.

No. Way out north of Dallas. I think coworker is all the way up near McKinney.

My impression of Dallas is that cheap is available depending on how far Out one is willing to go and whether one wants a lot of land or not. A few...

I suppose, Iris, that my view is skewed away from flyover country. Just got back from a work team away day. A couple of team members have bought...
