10/10 apology; would forgive.

Walled. I'm walled by this.

Was going to say the same thing. I read his ballotopedia responses and he seems better than a Republican. But that's a pretty low bar.

I'm not an expert, but I think this is fairly typical. Unless any of that wood is actively rotting (which would indicate a larger moisture issue that needs to be addressed), using old ugly boards to stabilize and level cabinets and countertops would seem to me like the appropriate approach during installation.

It looks like this was a remodel? If so, they definitely wouldn't have bothered to make anything look pretty if it's going to be hidden behind cabinets.

In other words - it's probably not as bad as it looks. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Anyone who didn't think Iran was about to start experiencing extremely high numbers of civilian casualties hasn't been paying attention to what's been going on in Palestine.

"No no, but what if the guy is just, like, at the table because he's Nazi- curious but kind totally didn't kill anybody and probably wouldn't but also the Nazis make good points about stuff so he can totally sit there, but he's not a Nazi! See? There are exceptions!"

-that guy, probably

I agree with this, but also want to point out that gas stations are a poor substitute for a corner grocer or bodega. They are simply too large and require too much land for the function they are serving. Zoning rightfully mandates that they can't be on the bottom floor of a larger building due to the dangers posed by gasoline and they require lots of space for cars to park.

Essentially, we have forfeited a lot of valuable space to dispensing gasoline and significantly diminished the best features of corner stores by making them serve both functions. I would be curious to see what would happen if gas stations were forbidden from serving anything other than gas in high density areas. I would assume there would be much fewer of them, and each one would be optimized for efficiency to take up as little space as possible. We would also likely see the reemergence of neighborhood bodegas and corner grocers to fill the gap.

Conservatives used to crow about how they're the "party of fiscal responsibility" whilst simultaneously blowing up the deficit on completely unhinged endeavors every time they got into power.

They still do, but they used to, too.

Because there's probably a significant number of affected rich folks who are retirees, vets, or both. Though, the propane you saw insinuates that it's the other way around - that a significant number of retirees and vets would be targeted by the new law. It's a pretty common tactic used against dumb people who can't tell the difference. Good on you for seeing through it.

He's a wannabe tyrant who would absolutely put you to death for this comment should he have actually successfully stolen power and ended democracy. He's going to try again and the Republican party is ready and willing to stand by him for fear they might finally lose all the power they had only ever been afforded due to gerrymandering and the inherently undemocratic senate.

We're going to watch Republicans attempt to implement the Turkey playbook and they might just pull it off. An end to democracy as we know it.

I always make sure my logs are covered by Spunk.

Fun story - as a kid my backyard in-ground pool would occasionally get these grapefruit sized ant rafts. No idea why or how they would do it, but somehow they'd find themselves floating around in there. And if you don't look too closely it just looks like a dead leaf that landed in the pool.

Dove in one hot summer day. Came up for air. Facefull of ants. Never again.

The comment directly below this one reads like propaganda straight from Moscow. I'm very glad to see it down-voted. Blaming blatant authoritarianism and extremely dangerous rhetoric on "old people" seems like a pretty obvious diversion from the actual culprits: the entire Republican party who is sleepwalking into a legit second coup attempt. They're losing political power and have abandoned the idea of democracy. The fact that they're unable or unwilling to drown this Nazi rhetoric in the bathtub speaks volumes. They are openly supporting authoritarianism. Not "old people". Republicans.

It's different because you seem to be saying "workers should be able to be incredibly vulnerable to the whims of employers because employers should be good people". The other guy's response to that is "why would we ever assume employers are going to be good to their employees absent any mechanism to enforce said good behavior?"

We have to acknowledge that Republicans have lots to offer if you're a mega corp.

1. They pick up the phone for you and your lobbyists - day or night
2. They lower your tax burden
3. They functionally killed unionization - allowing you to pay your executives enormous sums of money while the majority of your workforce struggles financially.
4. If you're somehow unable to outright buy their legislative agenda with bribes campaign donations, they can instead be forced to comply with subtle threats to leak details of their various homosexual escapades to the media.
5. They tend to have absolutely no morals - which is great for your shareholders.

I'm only guessing, but it's possible they're fed lies about surrender. If he's convinced that being captured will result in death by torture or starvation (something I'm pretty sure the Russians have been doing to their POW’s), pulling a grenade on your captors might actually seem like a reasonable decision.

I feel bad for the Russian men who men - victims of their own government's propaganda. Enlisting in a bullshit war only to become fertilizer and coyote food in Ukrainian fields. I still enjoy watching them get their asses kicked though.

Please, please do this in Pennsylvania. As a "swing state" (Jesus fuck the electoral college has really fucked us) he needs to be removed. Here in Illinois, he's not going to win here anyway.
