I have a small space and am usually cooking by myself, and I have no problem cleaning as I go. In fact, having a small space makes it even more critical to clean as you go so you maintain space to maneuver.

Totally underrated topic is how many Boomers were raised by WWII veterans with severe, untreated PTSD

Sure, but as far as what we can control right now, let's elect some fucking Democrats please

That doesn't break it down by variant either tho

North by Northwest and The Birds are my two favorites, NXNW for the epic scale and Bernard Hermann's soundtrack, and The Birds because it's creepy as fuck. I also really like Rear Window. While I'm not the biggest Jimmy Stewart fan, the story and the set design are amazing.

We don't have that kind of granularity anymore, both because RFK Jr and DOGE have significantly cut public health funding and because there are so many variants out there now and so little difference between them in terms of presenting symptoms

"Don't Mess With Texas" was an anti-litter campaign and nothing else.

Real bud has been for sale in Texas for years now and has been completely unregulated. This regulation imposed by the Dept of State Health Services effectively kills the sale of the real stuff in stores by counting THCa in the total THC equation, which was not counted before. Lab derived stuff will still be for sale

What has happened over the past few years in Texas regarding THC is amazing. Weed is available everywhere. Compared to regulated states like Colorado, it was the wild west. It took the state legislature 3 sessions (6 years) to finally pass a bill trying to make THC illegal again, and Abbott vetoed it.

Well, I'm not happy about these new regulations, which basically make smokeable flower illegal and impose new fees that are certain to put quite a few small shops out of business, however most THC products are going to be remaining on the market, and we're still going to be able to legally order everything that's been banned through the mail, which I consider a huge win in this state.

I think they want the TSA to get funding, and I bet they're pretty agnostic re: ICE funding

If only we all treated everyone like this, in accordance with their SkyMiles status.

We're kind of not at all having an energy emergency, actually. Most states have pretty diverse energy generation portfolios, so electricity costs are not as responsive to global oil prices as e.g. gasoline for cars. The reality is there's already tons of wind and solar online, and that's going to continue even if Trump tries to stop projects on federally controlled land
