Just an add on to your thread. I use Netshare to hot spot my data from my phone to devices. It lets you avoid the data limits on sharing mobile data so I don't have to pay extra.

I'll also admit that I'm a little older and maybe I'm saying something that everyone else already knows about.

That's incredible.

Meanwhile in the states. My parents used to fly me alone when I was 12 on an airline nicknamed Scare-West.

You should read the Murderbot Diaries. If you find this funny and unique, you will like Murderbot.

Sure some women are like this. And some men are just as horrible. The existence of some is not the same thing as all. I knew a guy who got actually yelled at because some girl thought he should be interested in her because they were both fat. People are always trying to stereotype others and even themselves. It is just gullible to think there aren't shitty people everywhere.

And I'm over here like "red light turned to green so I'm good."

I'm glad you guys know and do all this battery stuff because you create a wealth of knowledge I can pull from when the time comes. Speaking from my experience with flashlights, which I am still in awe of the knowledge and how useful it is/was when it came time for a new light.

Thanks for the review.

Well we also used to have no speed limit. Back in the Moderately Prudent days it was more common to get passed by a semi like you were standing still while going 100+ in a blizzard through a canyon. That was until nightfall, then the speed limit dropped to 55 on highways and 65 on the freeway. It was insane.

But it did result in a two speed system. Most of the highways are 75 during the day and 65 at night. Which to me just seems smarter.

Then again it has been over a decade since I was in Montana.

I tuck. I have found that it is the most reliable for keeping it from drying. Mostly j noticed this with bags of chips. Then I adapted that to bread.

That's not true at all. Sometimes the cost is more for men. But almost universally the costs of the same item are more for women than for men. The running joke is that if you take the same volume of shaving cream, stick it in a taller narrower bottle, and add a label with purple and butterflies; you can slap a higher price on it.

Look at pockets. Women rarely find clothes with pockets. When they do the pockets are usually very inadequate. Their pants use less material but cost more.

Alternatively, their clothes often take more materials to clean, so drycleaners cost more for women's clothing. Haircuts cost more for women but they usually take more time and materials as well. So there are often hidden considerations that complicate how we judge and view this matter. At the end of the day it costs more if manufacturers can get away with charging more without losing sales.

I am down 50+ pounds, and have another 20 to go. This is new to me, but I absolutely agree with everything you said.

I can't believe it took me 45 years to try that but man am I happy I did. Well, I'm almost there. None of my clothes fit anymore though.

One thing that most people forget, a perspective that should always be on the mind; is that when you work a job you are selling yourself and your time. Don't feel dirty, feel qualified. And smart enough to hit the eject button the next ment a better option became available.

 

We were on the radio with the diesel mechanic, after several attempts to reset the faults, when we started seeing smoke. He said "Hang on a second I'm looking into this" to which we replied We are on fire!

 

Got suspended for agreeing that plotting to assassinate the president is "the lesser of two evils" compared with murdering one's own parents.
