I buy mine from the bulk store bc it's like the same price for 500 pills vs 30 from a normal drug store. I never finish them before the expiration, but whatever

I'm not gonna let the intruder in my home (who keeps hitting me) stay there because I refuse to break my lamp over his head.

Russians in Ukraine is a much larger threat than less shrubbery.

You sleep on your side and stomach and use the same amount of pillow for both?? Stomach definitely needs the least amount of cushion, except for people who use no pillow I guess. And side sleeping has an entire shoulder's width of support to make up for. Totally different positions, you need an arsenal of pillows to really dial in the ergonomics.

This is an interesting point I haven't seen before. I think I agree, but only after suicide for medical patients is legal. And also, what about people not in a life sentence (whether a shorter sentence or someone not incarcerated)? Should they have any legal outlet?

Is there a difference between wanting to kill yourself and not wanting to live through a life sentence?

Apparently, the average citizen pays about a half million in taxes in a lifetime. So this means 15 people spent their entire life being honest taxpayers, so these cops could be a piece of shit.

Glad the family got paid at least. Wild that in 2020 these cops didn't have cams yet; not exactly a rural area.

How hot is extreme, you and I have now asked ourselves. Well, let me read aloud.

"as high as 45 degrees Celsius" (113 F)

"northern province [of Thailand] exceeded 44.1 degrees Celsius on Saturday" (111.4 F)

"Cambodia, Myanmar, Vietnam, India and Bangladesh, forecasters warned that temperatures could exceed 40 degrees Celsius in the coming days" (104 F)

"city of Mandalay could rise to 43 degrees Celsius" (109 F)

"It's very unpleasant and it takes the energy out of you."

Op ed: sounds nasty hot

Bad Omens - Like a Villian

Not a huge metal person, but coming from a rock background, I've really been into Bad Omens lately. They have a kinda alternative sound to them imo.

Does anyone know what the wealth of the bottom 99% is?

 

I love ratchet straps, but I can't seem to find any extra-short ones. I have two anchor points about 6-8 inches apart that have a slight obstruction between them (so not a straight line).

Ideally I would find some ratchets with a compact hook profile, and extra short portion of strap between the hook and ratchet. But also perhaps some kind of hook on a threaded rod and a coupling system that allows for slight bends?

It needs to be a removable solution, but it doesn't have to be quick or easy to remove. In fact a lockable or tool-neccesary solution would be slightly ideal.

Any ideas?

Edit: I'm trying to clamp a camper shell to a truck bed. I'd like to keep the bed liner, which means I can't use use the bed rails w/o cutting 4 holes into the liner. This leaves the 4 bed anchor points on each corner. Based off current responses, I'm probably looking at some rope system.

If you're at all mechanical or work on cars/bikes or a homeowner, the Knipex Pliers Wrench is an excellent tool. It's a set of leveraged adjustable parallel jaw pliers. So basically you can grab nuts, bolts, or anything with flats with tremendous leverage, and you can do it quickly on a range of sizes. Almost infinitely better than a crescent (adjustable) wrench, fills the spot of a whole set of open-ended box wrenches, and they're excellent German engineering. Come in a range of sizes (bc there's still different uses for big and small). Roughly $50-60 each, but sets are cheaper per. Plus, harbor freight makes a nice dupe of the 10in/250mm for $40 (find a coupon tho).

I was on the fence for a while, but I adore the tool and wish I had it years earlier. For most people, a 7in/180mm and 10in will fill most needs. The hype is real. Lifetime warranty too if you buy from authorized retailer (habor freight is also lifetime eyy)

Relevant quote from article...

“The Israeli military is currently using Rafael’s Spike missiles to target people inside buildings in the Gaza Strip right now. The same weapons that Canada is buying are being advertised as ‘battle tested’ against Palestinians.”

“For Canada to be choosing to purchase these weapons from Rafael is a direct endorsement and a direct financial support to the Israeli military’s devastation and carnage in Gaza,” Small added.

Downvotes for answering D: I'm not opposed to closing the account. But the museums alone could be costing boa 10-30/month, assuming each admission is paid out close to face value. Surely this helps the community more than a CU, and costs boa more than they could possibly make off me (since I pay no interest, and hold no checking/savings there).

CMV?
