Sorry I can only count in full bananas. Reddit really got my brain.

What?!? You’re telling me Hurricanes in Tennessee aren’t normal?

Anybody want to buy a house? Half price, only floated down the river once.

I laughed but I also figured some people probably don’t know the general conversion is that easy. I’m not sure who’s so salty they down voted you.

That was the thing about Arizona it took the Democrats realizing it was a purple state and they should vote. That’s why these states seem to flip so suddenly. Then of course it’s a decade or two wait to get a state legislature that’s not gerrymandered to hell and back.

With the abortion issue there’s new organizing going on in a bunch of previously locked down red states.

Districts aren’t really a good way to measure though. As you point out some of them are pretty well gerrymandered.

Take away New York, or Baltimore, or Detroit, or any city really. It has long since ceased to be a state level thing. The system however is still running like it’s the 1840’s.

Don’t look up

Its winds are well below hurricane strength now. It’s a post tropical cyclone for its spinning nature and it’s prodigious rain.

This was also a lot more powerful than the Appalachian mountain and westward communities are used to getting. They aren’t set up for it in the same way that communities East of them and on the coast are.

Tennessee and Kentucky are far more purple than conventional thought gives them credit for.

I live out west. Think of how far would be intolerable to walk in 45 degree heat and then add 30 minutes standing by the road, waiting for traffic lights to change, so you can attempt to cross without a crosswalk or a sidewalk, while you roast in the added heat from car exhaust.

1 m is approximately 3 ft

I fought Iraq in 2003 but the first president I could vote for was Bush v Kerry.

If that doesn’t do it I don’t know what will.

Also, please stop reminding me how old I am.

Crocs or sandals. Wear them with socks. This keeps your feet dry so they don’t smell and you can easily remove them for comfort and put them back on to go to the bathroom.

And

Any noise cancelling headphones with something to play music or podcasts. Even if you sleep through it, planes are loud, you should protect your hearing.

Easily ants. Google ant swarm animal. But not right before bed. There’s a few insects that are evolved specifically to fight ants but everything else is food to them.

It is a classic cat thing though…

If you’re being hailed as a hero in the US and you aren’t a politician…

Run. Do not walk away, run. Society is absolving itself of caring for you after the inevitable sacrifice of your health and/or sanity.

Also research the downside first. Some “dream jobs” are marketed that way for a reason.

Bloomberg, Forbes, and Fox News jump to mind.

Edit - you know looking at Bloomberg’s site again I think you could make an argument for it but it does appear to be mostly concerned with fact based news centered on the finance industry. I’m just used to seeing shit guest opinion articles from them.

Edit edit - in their place I offer up CNBC with their personal finance propaganda perpetually trying to convince Americans they just aren’t budgeting well enough.
