And for fuck’s sake don’t raw dog your phone to convenient USB chargers in airplanes, airports, or other public spaces.

Yes the argument can be made that airplanes may enjoy slightly better chain-of-custody type security, but fr the number of people I see who dgaf plugging their junk into USB brothels is wild.

Remember when the petroleum industry sold us disposable plastic bags as a way to “save the trees”?

It’s a common trope, in the US at least. The gift can be different in different countries. In the Philippines other local-made snacks might be brought for teachers.

All the dicks. And the bag, to be certain that if he weasels his way out of eating the dicks, at least he’ll have to find a way to carry them around for a while.

SYAC: In the article, Altman doesn’t explain anything regarding what led to the board doing what they did, and asserts that he will wait for the new board to conduct an investigation.

Put the cost of things into terms of hours you would need to work to cover its cost. On an individual basis, you know very well how to gauge an hour of your working time, and inflationary effects will become apparent when there is something you used to buy routinely and suddenly find you have to work two or three hours to cover its cost.

4; microecon. Often when asked to solve cost minimization problems with supplied info, it states the problem can’t be solved, and that there might be a problem with the questions.

There are some limitations. I’ve asked some questions relating to my courses and it doesn’t always get it right.

The fibers are too short, but you could probably make a neat paper out of it.

There are some really good flint and steel survival rods available now. Not the flimsy Scouting ones of yesteryear, but ones with anodized aluminum housings, hardened metal strikers and large diameter flint rods.

Started our winter stove with it the other day and am really happy with it.

The one I have, from a survival perspective, is a little risky, because when configuring them for use they must be taken down into multiple parts, but damn if it doesn’t make huge sparks.
