You don’t have milk cartons in your country? Come to think of it, I’m not sure the US does any longer. OJ and other drinks can still be had in cartons.

Even better to my mind. I so love shit that turns back into dirt, like literal shit.

Jesus! I could stuff a hog’s carcass in my overflowing can and they would just dump it and go. They mainly seem to care about car batteries and tires, everything else, fuck it, send it.

We have two competing garbage companies, and they do indeed compete. Score one for capitalism working as intended. OTOH, that’s a lot of wasted gas running by my house several times a week.

I’m with the “cool” company. The CEO shoots straight when he emails us. “Those other assholes are cheating! Here’s what went down at the city council meeting (with proof). Can you believe this shit?!”

“I divide my officers into four classes as follows: the clever, the industrious, the lazy, and the stupid. Each officer always possesses two of these qualities. Those who are clever and industrious I appoint to the General Staff. Use can under certain circumstances be made of those who are stupid and lazy. The man who is clever and lazy qualifies for the highest leadership posts. He has the requisite and the mental clarity for difficult decisions. But whoever is stupid and industrious must be got rid of, for he is too dangerous.”

I use the handicapped stall at work for that privacy. Need to do a little song and dance to get my clothes and tool belt arranged, and I get my own sink.

For any haters, as the handicapped say, it’s accessible, not reserved. (And not many handicapped folks in a hardware store.)

I’ve wandered in the wrong room a time or two, but blood smell?! I can’t even smell that when I’m down on the muffin. (Not that I do that, but near misses have happened.)

I assume that’s a hygrometer? Any tips on use or what to buy?

EDIT: Crud. Wrong word. What’s it called and it is useful for less finicky plants?

Thank you! Has no one else noticed he’s clearly on a leash now?! He not spewing toddler nonsense 20 times a day, hardly speaking in public, all that?

Has no one noticed how much more efficient his government is this time?

Just distract her with a piece of cheese.

10" in my town, we set the record.

I set my pack down to piss and get a beer, got this much in that time.

I’ll get downvoted for this, with no explanation, because it’s happened here and on reddit.

I’m a liberal gun nut. Most of my limited YouTube is watching gun related news and such. You would think I’d be overrun with right-wing bullshit, but I am not. I have no idea why this is. Can anyone explain? Maybe because I stick to the non-politcal, mainstream guntubers?

The only thing I’ve seen start to push me to the right was watching survival videos. Not some, “dems gonna kill us all” bullshit, simply normal, factual stuff about how to survive without society. That got weird fast.

Gorilla products are top of the line in every way, every product. Now that I’m broke I can’t buy their shit anymore, but it’s well worth the $.

I’ve spun a 360 in the rain with a 2WD truck. Nope, not daring those rotten dirt roads! Then you got the 4WD dumbshits that think physics don’t apply. Don’t start me.

LOL, hard no. I have scrapers, somewhere. Think one is at camp to brush leaves off stuff. Have a snow shovel! Forgot about that, bought it for shoveling ash out the fire pit.

We got paralyzed for a day, mostly melted off, ice on the streets tomorrow. Been too lazy to wipe it off our cars.

We have a Habitat for Humanity house/mortgage. Structure is new and well above code, far enough inland to not worry much about hurricane winds and flooding. At least we’re not likely to take it in the teeth except in the most extreme event, and it would have to hit hard, and just west of us.

Know what I’ve been thinking about? Tornadoes. Grew up in Oklahoma, I know what that shit is about. Last summer my wife left for the bank and it turned black, within minutes, solar lights on at 10AM. Got to thinking, “We may be set for hurricanes, but no house is proof against the tornadoes that come with them.”

Even worse, I’m about to pay the house off. Nice, right? What if I can’t insure it in my old age? Just turned the corner on my earning potential, maybe we can’t coast until death? In any case, I want to leave it to my (now) small children.

LOL, and I commented on here about maybe renting the place out when I retire. Got run over with landlord hate. “Alright you fuckers. Go buy a damned house then. Won’t be renting mine out at a good rate. Less fair-housing on the market, good deal, right?”

My camp is halfway between Crestview and Milton in Holt. I’d would have killed to get out there and see it before the melt, too scared to drive, my RWD truck wouldn’t make it earlier today. I’ll try tomorrow and see what I see.

We’re more the, “kayak in the hurricane flooded parking lots” sorts down here.

Hiked down to the creek today, melting fast. The roads, even in our hood, seem mostly fine. There’ll be icy patches though, and these people have rarely, if ever, seen that.

It’s melting today, we’re royally screwed tomorrow. These people will see black ice and not have a clue. Everything is going to be ice tomorrow.

Also, it was 14°F last night. 19°F is the lowest I had seen in almost 20 years of living down here.
