Honestly that caught me too.

I’d have to guess his family suspected/knew he was a piece of shit and wanted proof. Maybe he was also abusive? I don’t imagine someone like that would be like.. super kind otherwise, you know?

You also can’t ride the cart through the parking lot if you park too close. Then you just look silly kicking it up to speed for just a short ride.

(I’m almost 40 and still do this every time I have to go shopping, like a reward for completing the draining task)

Close all your windows, and the blinds, watch Christmas movies with ice cream and cookies.

Always helps for me, lets me convince myself it’s winter and cozy

I don’t have air conditioning, other than window units that I try not to use to cool the place, but I do use them for dehumidification a lot when it’s hot out, and that helps an absolute ton.

My guess is the shape of the cap, and maybe even a bit to do with the material (ime pop-off caps are a weaker plastic to allow them to deform around the bottle lip). Screw top plastic bottles have deeper caps than pop-off glass bottle caps.

Thus when stored the inside surface of the pop-off cap has more chance to rub against other surfaces and create plastic dust, and being a weaker plastic it may gouge more easily as well.

You may want to look into installing used solar from solar farms. They have to periodically swap their panels and stuff, but they still work fine and have most of their efficiency/life left in them, but for a HUGE cost reduction over buying them new.

Does baby oil not take everything off anymore?

This is a legit question; I have not worn makeup since 2000 or so so I’m outdated on makeup tech, but baby oil was good enough to remove everything without being painful, I assume it’s bad for your eyes in some way, or something like that…

That feels gross, like standing under a dripping gutter two days after the last rain. Something just isn’t right..

Marching lockstep is something that takes years to stop doing after getting out, though. Band kids have a similar problem. And even then you catch it sometimes, a desire to do it..

It bothers you for years when you walk hand in hand with your partner. Because you can’t hold hands and walk lockstep.. you have to perfectly time the opposite step, so you can perfectly hold their hand.

It only takes one refresher, and you go back to it.

I considered buying one of these several years ago, but I measured everything out and… I don’t have the clearance for it. Woe is me.

Maybe my next kitchen.

If it helps, doctor who isn’t sci-fi, it’s “sci-fantasy”. None of the tech is ever explained in any way other than sort of the sonic screwdriver, kinda sorta, it just works or doesn’t based on what the show needs.

There’s some vague sci-fi elements to it, but overall it’s pure fantasy. So if that’s not what you are looking for, totally understandable that it wouldn’t be your bag.

There’s plenty of land where people already want to live. Develop the parking lots, and strengthen public transit. Build more mixed use buildings. Build more multi family buildings. Rezone and tweak regulations to allow densification. And don’t build everything as either luxury or lunch box size.

Maybe that’s what it was, idk. I’m terrible with parry mechanics but it was also a few years ago.
