intresting. was looking and asking around, it seem, (agian as a person who lives in a west coast area where we get about 0 snow). “Wintry mox” seems like it might be used to mean a combo of rain/sleet/snow, so while the “ice pellets” are still called “sleet” you might say its “wintry mix” bcs there might be sleet/snow/rain on the ground or around.

If someone told me about ice pellets id persume they meant the fancy lil ice cubes, but also y’all say “pass me the fairy liquid” and be talking about soap.

As someone from the U.S. I have never heard of “wintry mix”. I currently live on the west coast, but I always grew up that wet mix of snow/rain/water on the ground as “slush”. Each country has its own regional dialects

What was that movie with the gentic id stuff, gattaca? Yeah, shouldn’t give them too many “good” ideas…

Trump has always and will continue to be a straw man…an easy puppet to do others bidding. Rember even with BS republicans where pushing he lost the popular agianst Hillary…even with so many people I have come across that voted agianst her because shes a women. It was those that abstained combined with those that followed party lines from the decades of work dems and reps have done to destroy democracy.

Most calls I get are spam, fruad or potentially dangerous so I do record a voicemail but I mirror my carrier default, just "You have reached the voice mail of phone # . I am unable to answer your call right now, please leave your message.

maybe not an act of war, maybe Maduro isn’t a POW. It’s an act of terror, he is being held hostage by state backed terrorists.

yes. I have this botepad on the fridge whenever I notice something is needed I write it down and when I go to the store I just grab that list, anything I didn’t/couldn’t get I try to write back down. I tend to forget to get the list so I half wing usually to poor results

Amongst stated reasons, “signing up” is more difficult here. Its not as straightforward a process and content isn’t as spoon fed to you as other platforms. The tech literacy needed to get here isn’t high, but as I learned the average tech literacy is abysmal.

About 10ish years ago when I was 14, I helped some people print something. They tried printing something from a computer plugged into the printer, an error popped up saying “printer not connected”. I thought, thr printer must be, yknow disconnected. Some 6 people had gatherd trying to troubleshoot this but were stumped. I pointed out the error message that kept coming up, didn’t click. I followed the cables from the pc to the printer, it was disconnected, I plugged it in and reported back. They where stumped on how I possibly knew what was wrong or how to fix it.

I am not good with technology, but im good enough to know im not good with technology. I have found most people, even those younger or same age tend to not be tech literate.

Finding the application and filling it out for any random federated instance may seem like nothing but it requires an ammount of literacy many Americans dont have.

Yeah, I think objectively the “A.I.'s” are kind of neat, like those old desktop pal cats kinda of neat, cost almost nothing to run. But A.I. costs such an extreme ammount of resources to run enitre cities could be run in its deficits alone. We do not have the energy, water, or computers to run it, but something is bankrolling it.

yeah took me a bit I though the tub was supposed to be oddly shaped, like a funnel or something, then I noticed the water stream.

The waterflow out of the faucet…instead of just going separately they converge…

I see the @adamtots in one panel, probably a good place to look, busy atm otherwise I would.

Thats a really good idea, easy to clean and easy to seal so nothing falls out. Thank you

2 problems with a mixing bowl, its not as easy and its more work to clean. These where a go to for me for quick easy, and cleanup meals for the family.

the bag had little chance for mess, the bowl is more cleanup and higher chance for mess, maybe its not a “huge” thing but its not nothing and breaks the convenience of them.

Put the porkchops or chicken [$5/lbs] in the bag with the seasoning crumbs [$1] shake, put in air fryer, microwave a some veggies[$1.25] serve on paper plates and I had a low cost, quick, no clean up meal for my family.

Having to use something else adds cost, in money, time or energy, all of which I have nowhere enough of

yeah. It wasn’t clear in my comment but I wasn’t trying to say they where put down just for seceding (Though to Lincoln it was a way more important thing than slavery) but that they are the most notable case of states leaving the union and they got beat the shit out of, two separate things.

while no explicit mention of secession, the very act of the revolution and statements such as “…Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,–That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…” and "…When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another…"have been used to show the idea the founding fathers supported secession.

Only a handful of times has anyone in the U.S.A. seceded, though most of the times it was just to create a new states in the U.S.A. It was officially outlawed after the C.S.A. seceded and not much of any serious attempt has been made since.

People in the U.S.A. forget that “state” means a sovereign nation. Why are the “United States” not actually states? Taxes. Actually thats basically it. After what would be known as U.S.A. was founded, taxes where opt in. but the burgeoning central government was on the hook for all its international debts. and of course no state wanted to pay taxes…or did pay taxes. So they restructured and the “federal” goverment became superior to all states and its power has grown while states rights diminished. So yeah, in some ways wed be alot better if states where thier own sovereignty, and the founding fathers even put a stipulation that any state unhappy with the union can leave, but the last states to do that got the **** beat out of them and it was made illegal (CSA / Civil war).

TLDR; Founding states didn’t want to pay taxes, federal government was formed to collect taxes.
