Camera person was obviously the target

I had a Radio Shack computer in the early 80's. When I sent in the warranty card, my address ended up on nerd mailing lists. Compuserve was the only public ISP and access cost $7 and hour IIRC plus it was a long distance call around 50 cents a minute (ask your grandparents). I was able to access the internet for free at public libraries. Had no idea what I was doing but managed to see weather predictions and access Nexus which was a digitized database of periodicals (magazines).

I looked into opening a bar long ago in a fairly rural college town. One of the regulations was to have one parking space for so many seats. It's an issue in a neighborhood where I once lived. Most of the houses were built before cars so most residents park on the street. It became the hip new place to be and high end restaurants and bars popped up causing lots of conflict

Huh that's interesting, maybe because San Francisco is so densely packed. It's the exception not the rule. In our car centric country having parking space requirements is common sense like building codes.

Not just Nashville. Any city in the US and undoubtedly other countries. Also not just apartment buildings.

Set aside a cardboard box for stuff you haven't used in years but you'd hate to throw away because it's still useful. When the box fills up, drop it off at the thrift store and get another box

I'm up to 9 so far this year

Keep in mind that even after checking yourself after being in the out doors they may still be on your clothes or in your hair. Check yourself again the next day. It takes them awhile to burrow in

What happened to "America First"?

I'll never forget being around 12 years old and hearing my dad address another adult by Mr+surname. It was Mr Palmer who organized the little league I grew up playing in and my dad coached. In school we were forced to address teachers and staff as Ms, Mrs or Mr but at that instance I realized treating others with respect is a choice

Reddit was fun but I've never looked back

In high school I had a very fine point tip pen for making cheat sheets. One day one of the stoners saw me making one and asked for a copy so I made him one. Later, two other stoners asked for copies so by the time I had to take the test, I had written everything four times and didn't need the cheat sheet. This is how I learned writing things down is an effective memory tool.

I too use stock for making food for my dogs. I'll also make jello treats, it's cheap, they love it, it's really good for them.

The new aerator is 1.5gal/minute. I have no idea what the old one was. When I remove it, flow at the sprayer is much greater. I don't understand how the aerator restricts flow to the sprayer. Is there any way to improve this? 1.5gal was the highest they had at the hardware store

 

The weird part is the AI got it right in the search I did prior to this one

 
 

I just remembered this documentary and this seemed like a good place to share it for anyone unfamiliar
