oh I suppose I'm giving in to snacking temptation: I had nuts and cheese, and some unsweetened hot chocolate and tea with cream. I usually have yogurt and nuts and berries if I can get them or else...

Oh I 100% agreed with you. But into my 40s, it's probably not my problem anymore either. Unfortunately I probably still have around 3 decades to live to see it all collapse.

They don't get to talk about vaccine shortages when vaccine sits unused, if they have received a certain amount and only administered some fraction of it (less than 30% in Cali), yea nah. There may...

If a disease was spreading that disproportionately killed smokers that could be controlled (theoretically this is a failed state here I realize) through measures like masks and other public health...

When I collected unemployment I had taxes taken out of most of the unemployment checks, sometimes I just wanted the extra $100. I got all the money back anyway, so that was kind of pointless to...

The Dems already seem trying to lose, I think they might be paid to lose, boy is that party horrible. Trump was not paid to lose merely a victim of his personality disorder. But I'm not interested...

I would have been ok with that impeachment. But I don't know how many really are from Trump's handling, I mean Trump deliberately screwed things up, there is a rock solid case there for deliberate...

Possibly look at Ikea, I've heard good things about their mattresses anyway.

I know what you mean about the shady Chinese product descriptions.

Do I buy from Amazon without concern? Well...

I think public health department here is at the point of just: throwing things against the wall and seeing what sticks, or running stuff up the flagpole and see who salutes. People are likely...

Our public health department in the middle of a coronavirus surge (although the surge *may* be improving a little) is now is telling us it's Very Very Important to wear masks when talking a walk. ...

So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. ....

I'm interested in asceticism but not as practice for destitution. But I suppose one could go down to live in a tent in a homeless encampment for a week just for practice if they wanted, then they...

yea that's how they explained it, I was hourly exempt or something at that job, I usually got overtime (and had to be on call) and then there were times there I worked new years eve at 3 am solving...

A lot of people have the ability to deprive themselves by choice (ie fasting), but then that doesn't apply if one is already starving of course. So yea like I said I actually find asceticism...

I remember not getting overtime some days where I worked over 8 hours a day on weeks with paid holidays (say memorial day). Kind of a surprise to me on my paycheck. This was when I got overtime at...

The argument for inmates was never that they were essential but it has been a major population for outbreaks, like meat packing plants, and nursing homes (very vulnerable residents but some in prison...

I really just think my criteria has become: do I use it (but if some things are kept purely for beauty or nostalgia that's ok too and two of what you need the most :)). I don't care that much if...

It seems to me they are playing a game of overtime where they don't have to pay overtime for it. Because if hourly and subject to overtime laws, it usually kicks in at over 40 hours a WEEK, I...

There's also the thing that people can come at politics through life experience as well, and people talk about just their lives here. Do I think that's what is talked about in most of the political...

I can see minimalism as related but not necessary, especially as by a certain point in life (by 30 let's say) we have acquired a bunch of things, it may not be a ton or anything and we may even want...

2 restaurants operating illegally (albeit outside but that's not legal at this point either), and seemingly a massage chain (!), everyone is out and about, me to to go to a plant nursery (legal and...

I saw some relevance because policy affects personal financial decisions, the ACA (and healthcare), social security, and so on and on. I saw the relevance as it affects environmental policy (which...

The sheets I use most often are low 200 something thread count, they aren't pilly and I've had them for years, but like I said they weren't cheap, so don't qualify as bedding that isn't insanely over...

yes, 10 months of that and well this novel coronavirus has lost all it's novelty. If it were a novel, it would be War and Peace. You get the drift.
