I love the aesthetics and ambiance of Christmas. Warm colorful lights and decorations. The festive feeling and using reefs and such to bring color to an otherwise horribly gray and depressing season.
My city in the past few years started leaving lights up in the main park through February. Like they’d take down the Jesus/Santa stuff after the 25th, but leave the basic light strings up. Their reasoning is to keep a festive atmosphere during the drab winter.
A “vegetable” is simply any edible part of a plant. Fruits can therefore be considered a subcategory of vegetables.
If you really want to get into the nitty gritty, an ear of corn is botanically a fruit, since it’s the seed-bearing body of a plant. But nobody in their right mind would consider corn a fruit.
Florida is also densely populated compared to other similarly sized states, around 135 people per km² (US average is about 37/km²)
Why do people do shit like this lmao. I mean I know gas stations gouge the hell out of you to use the air compressor but using FAF to top off your tires is… an interesting way around it.
I’m surprised they could even put anything in the tire even after the first treatment. FAF by its nature seals holes, and usually the valve stem gets clogged as a result.
I can’t imagine it being good for your wheel balance either. But if the ride is smooth then it should be good.
Auto mechanics hate Fix-a-Flat. I speak from firsthand experience taking off a tire that was full of the stuff.
In my first field IT job, I had to use a dock that had a parallel printer port that we used to configure and troubleshoot the ancient line printers the company was still using. Those docks barely lasted a year and they would just straight up quit working no matter what computer you plugged them into.
White House to prison pipeline.
I never got why they don’t attach these flares to some boilers to generate extra electricity or heat homes in the winter. I mean I know that creates problems of their own and it would still do nothing about the CO2 pollution, but it makes a little more sense than simply burning it.
You mean plutonium doesn’t look like a vial of cherry flavored cough syrup suspended in a larger vial of water?
Nuclear armageddon almost never seems to happen at night in movies and TV shows. It’s always during the daylight.
The only exception I can think of is Threads, where the missiles start flying when it’s like 3 in the morning in Washington DC, and even that happens off screen.
That’s what I was thinking. Could be that or a tray for an internal HDD.
“Nothing will fundamentally change.”
I “love” when a show like Law and Order has a scene where the cops go to arrest somebody who is later proven to be innocent, and it’s always at their workplace, or a busy family function, or a restaurant. The cops proceed to loudly accuse the person of the heinous crime right in front of their friends/family/neighbors/coworkers.
Then later on, the actual perp is arrested and no mention is made again of the innocent person they practically eviscerated in public or in front of their loved ones.
It’s like these shows exist to subliminally train people to passively accept cops treating them like shit, even if you’re innocent.
When I was 7, my grandmother bought a Power Wheel ride-on Jeep for my cousin, and got a little die-cast Jeep for me. At the same family Christmas party. I think my other cousins also got cool shit, while my sister got something small/cheap like I did. Can’t remember what exactly, the only details I recall clearly are my cousin’s Power Wheel and the gift that I got.
I think grandma and my dad (her son) were feuding at the time or something, and I guess she wanted to be petty by giving us second rate gifts compared to our cousins. It was one of the first times I realized how shitty people in my own family could be.
This was 30 years ago and I still get pissed off thinking of it, even though my dad and grandmother eventually made up, and she passed away almost 20 years ago.
The one cool thing he did was not stop the guy who robbed the small business tyrant.
Maybe something like this but fatal?
I’m guessing it was some kind of astrology thing. People used to blame deaths on planets and stars being in certain areas of the sky.
I used to do that at the Burger King that was next to my old house. I’d prop my laptop up by the window the faced the restaurant and start downloading.
Then at some point they added something to the WiFi that, after you’ve been connected for like 30 minutes, disconnects you. You wouldn’t be banned or anything, it would just cut the connection until you go back to the captive portal and click “I Agree” again.
I feel like a lot of public WiFis these days have data caps and throttling to circumvent downloading.
