Buzzkill was one of the best apps I've ever bought. Combo with Tasker and you can get things like automatic pinned "where did I park" GPS notices when you leave the car, mute a group chat if say 3 messages come through within 5 minutes, etc.

Time to grab toilet paper, n95 masks, purell, tuna, soups, etc I guess. Also freeze meat before it becomes tainted/3x the price

Round 2 what did we all learn last time?

It's the barren concrete taking up 3/4 of the view with a hint of lawn behind more concrete. Europe was built before modern vehicles and has narrower streets with more residential in between businesses and has some cobblestone and what not. USA was built around railways and highways so everyone has a car and walking was an afterthought.

Edit: additionally ever wonder why Europeans say how far a distance is in kilometers and Americans answer with "it's about 25 minutes"? It's partially that reason plus the physical distance is larger (some states are larger than countries) so miles mean less to us than knowing the time, post logistics.

Legit something a child would dream up. Let's take challah bread or something else thick like it and throw some ketchup on and a slice of plastic cheese on top. It's as much pizza as the candy spaghetti from Elf was pasta.

I would argue that nobody should own a home they don't actually live in. All renting out does is increase the housing cost overall because nobody would ever operate at a loss or to break even. This is the issue people have with say, Blackrock who buys hundreds of homes at a time and rents them out.

Your family aren't bad people but the business they decided to take up is inherently bad by design. If the law changed tomorrow saying all multi homes must sell to non homeowners, everyone would watch prices drop and be able to afford it.

Using homes as an investment is at its basics, exploiting a need by interpreting it as a want or practical goods. Homes are for living in. The housing industry views homes like commodities as if people have a wide choice and selection when it's really "Omg we can afford this one that popped up randomly, we have 12 hours to decide if we want to pay 50k more to beat others away" and then lose anyway after bidding to Blackrock who pays 100k over asking.

I can't stand this "not a good look" talk when democrats have to basically be squeaky cleak that they can't even own a peanut farm or swear and yet 10 years into the "grab them by the pussy" guy who makes fun of disabled people, women, calls everyone names including his own party... Nobody bats an eyelash. I don't care if Joe Biden lied for his son at this point, Donald pardoned and will continue to pardon dozens of family and staff and insurrectionists. It's ok for Trump to lie about not knowing project 2025 and then immediately hire everyone involved with it days later... But Biden can't lie once. Got it.

I'm with George Carlin at this point...if libertarians and republicans want to ignore science then we should remove all warning labels off of every product and wait a few years for Darwin to sort things out. Either you know not to drink bleach or you don't.
