This is a post right now because prices have (hopefully) temporarily spiked. My grocery store had a sign apologizing, blaming avian flu+high demand, and promising to keep their process competitive. I think 2 bucks is normal for us too but right now they're over $5.

That's interesting. I never would've guessed that those aren't taxed the same as games in a casino. Does that also mean that within a casino, something like video poker is taxed differently than slot machines?
In our area, the only water supply WITH Fluoride serves an area with a median HOUSEHOLD income of less than $40k with more than 25% living below the poverty line. For communities like these the fluoride is critical because there will be a lot of children that don't have access to fluoride supplements, or regular care from a pediatric (or regular) dentist.
You can get even more granular than that. CDC maintains a list of water systems and whether or not they add fluoride. CDC My Water System. To give you an idea of how granular that is, there are 78 different water systems in my county alone. For most of my life I assumed we had fluoridated water but apparently only 1/78 of our water systems are. I only checked when we had kids and I needed to know whether or not I needed to give them Fluoride Drops.
We switched my son's Pre-K for a number of reasons. Mostly because they didn't have room for him in the older class (where he belongs), but also because it was kinda trashy, kinda franchisee, and every day we dropped him off he was crying and clinging harder and harder. The new school is just some lady running something out of her house.
A friend asked him what he's thankful for last night and he said, "My new school" 😭😭
Similar to my experience. I enjoyed reading but hated the process of finishing a book, finding a new, one, and getting started again. T. Clancy books were my go-to because they were interesting enough and WAAAY longer than they had to be so I could just keep on reading.
Oh dang I didn't know that about Dem seats in states that Harris lost. Here in PA the people may have voted out a LONG standing Democratic Senator because people showed up for Trump and then went right down the ballot.
I chafe a lot, so I'm pretty specific about the shorts I wear. When it gets cold I tried switching to tights but I found that no matter what kinda tights I was wearing, I still got chaffed pretty bad. I even had runs where pubic hair from my left leg got tied in a knot with pubic hair from my right leg.
The last 2 years I have just been using my summer shorts, and I just put loose sweats on top of them. It worked from a chafing perspective, but they were heavy, and picked up a lot of slush from dragging on the sometimes snowy trail.
This winter I will do basically the same thing, but I got slightly nicer running pants since the sweats hit end-of-life.
On my dryer, mirrored from the holes for the hinge, latch, and contact switch, there are another set of holes that have been punched out and covered with plastic caps.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think you could take off all that hardware, move the caps, and flip the door to the other side if that would work better for your setup.
I don't really use the Garmin recommendations, but a friend helped me get slightly better recommendations.
By default, Garmin creates HR zones based on % of max HR. Set this way, it was suggesting that I do most runs at a brisk walk.
In the User Settings of the device, you can define your HR zones by % of Heart Rate Reserve instead. I still don't really use garmins recommendations, but at least now the recommendations are a more reasonable pace.
Maybe they're using a similar system to O2 sensors in SCUBA rebreathers. 3 identical sensors measure the same thing. When one sensor drifts, the computer uses the value from the 2 concurring sensors, and throws an error to let you know something is wrong.
That system is life-critical, so these beans must be about the same importance.
