It’s too soon for this. Climate change in action 🙁 Where I am at in the US, we had another year of great snow pack, but it is melting incredibly fast. Last year this time, we had snow in town (in places). This year, it was in the 70sF and the snow line is receding such that I am not sure it will contribute like it did last year. Late snow is bad snow. We had a lot of that.

From the stop light side.

What are large, wealthy countries trying to do in these instances? Win hearts and minds? Set a country up for success? Give them tools for self determination? No, it always seems to be for exploitation.

I am curious what would be legitimately helpful.

Thank you for indulging my inner etymological nerd! That was great. And unexpected. I wonder what the townfolk feel about that?

Unrelated, but this term sounds like something I experience when I barf…

Haha idk what to say, I grew up around cats. They know what’s up! You looking at me? Great shot!

I bet the blanket on the shelf will be popular when the dryer is running!

Yo, thanks for the followup! Looks like a lot of fun for them, and for you to build. Thanks for sharing. It makes so much h sense now 😺

Is this what you are working with? If so, you may be able to purchase lengths of wood trim and sandwich the edge of the fence between them. You can also get extruded aluminum in channel form and perhaps attach it with wire. You may even be able to put heavy duty shrink wrap over each sharp point.

Or maybe you have a different type of fence and this won’t help haha. Let us know 🙂

Haha that sounds like a lot of fun for the cats! I hope it’s fun to build, too. I’m curious what your dogs will think.

I have to admit I didn’t know what cat paths were, and am still unsure, but after seeing cat shelves I’m looking forward to finding out!

Thank you, and @Zworf for the info!
I guess yay for public-private action 🙃but I guess I would prefer proper communal administration.

Maybe I missed it, but I didn’t see in the article the reason why the stockpile I’d being sold. This I want to know.

It goes back, I don’t know, 30 years? With both agricultural US and union areas (sometimes the same places) the Democratic party consistently expected those votes without actually delivering anything. Bill Clinton and the party get blamed for things like NAFTA and jobs moving to other countries, etc. So eventually these folks drift to the Republican party. Many of these people were broadly conservative anyways. Later, the religious aspects and toxicity of what started with Newt manifested to what we see now.

I don’t know if an evangelical Democrat would fly now. It’s a really bad situation with very entrenched beliefs.

As discussed in the article, of was never really about religion. It was about rhetoric. The bar for Democrats to keep states like Iowa blue was so incredibly low, requiring only action. But none could be taken, and it will now be incredibly difficult to overcome this loss.

I’m not sure I have much to add here other then a little experience. I’ve had a date tell me “there’s nothing there” and realized later that they wanted more than a friend. I am fairly old and have realized that I may not have much to give, romantically. That’s fine! But you have to find someone who wants that, also. Myself, I am not really a dater. But if you can see that some people want something more than a friend, more than a friend and sex, you may find where you fit in. I am still working on that. Not easy, but I am also pretty happy on my own. It is good, and healthy, to work on you, and this post is part of that I think. Be well!

I would argue that in some ways, coopting these words and the nonreligious traditions would be excellent because it removes power from “them.”

For every religious holiday, there is an equal and opposite secular holiday.

Actually they do this, too!

This is interesting, and connected to the website that predates Wikipedia, https://www.aaroads.com/ ! I never really thought about the folks who ran that site, what a large amount of time and effort they have spent. And to do Wikipedia, also.

It does seem like these sort of hard rules will always come up against hard walls. There has to be some flexibility it seems.
