Ralph Nadar is a terrible, terrible person whose vanity candidacy in 2000 likely cost thousands of American soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis their lives. He's not quite Henry Kissinger, but he deserves a punch in the mouth and should have the grace to disappear forever from the American political scene, given the blood on his hands..

I will never stop stanning Dredd

Because I do have Latvian family, I will say this has been the policy of the Latvian government since the mid-ish 90s. But because they were afraid of Russian invasion, they have basically not enforced the language requirement and allowed the Russian minority to flout the language law. Now that Putin can’t bully the Baltic’s anymore, it’s FAFO.

Let me tl;dr this as my Latvian family would say about ethnic Russians in Latvia:

YEET THE ORC!!!!

https://rollcall.com/2003/06/10/101st-senator-heads-to-k-street/ Ture story: I ran into Thurmond outside the Library of Congress on the House side (somewhere he couldn't have been) in 2000. He was totally lost and befuddled. I gently guided him over to a Capitol Hill Police Officer at the Cannon entrance, informed them who he was, and suggested they take him to get some water and call his office. I was headed to the now closed Capitol Lounge to go get my drink on, Duke short sent my boss a nice note the next day thanking me for my assistance. Fuck all this anti ageism shit. The constitution has age limits for when you are old enough to serve, it can have age limits when you are too old. No Member or President may be sworn in after their 75th birthday. No Justice may sit a case after their 75th birthday. It's a built in term limit.

You sure he’s not telling recruits to look around?

I can not over emphasize how good The Apostle is.

Yeah, but what about Hunter Biden’s giant dong? Let’s stay focused here, sheeple.

ProPublica once again proves it's the gold standard for investigative journalism. Thomas really is a grade A POS.

Jesus, I had to live under one of those fools. Shit is triggering.

I mean, The Washington Commanders are available for 6-7 billion.

It’s amazing stuff. It’s also toxic as fuck. I worked with a guy who did Asbestos litigation. His comment: it’s the perfect substance. Light, plentiful, flexible. Insulating. Fucking shame it causes cancer. 🤷‍♂️

I can always rely on you being you: I also cleaned my flame sensor in the last month. It’s amazing what 10 seconds of scotch-brite will do. not that I need it with the warm east coast winter spring.

I can’t help you with the nozzle thing, maybe CLR? Anything sufficiently acidic or basic will have a corrosive effect (lye will kill you just as quick as battery acid). It’s just that different things react to acid and bases depending on their natural PH. Oxyclean Free is the dye and perfume free version of oxyclean. I don’t exactly understand why it works so well on carbonized (burnt) stains, but it works like a charm. It also subs in for Powder Brewery Wash (PBW) when you want to clean somewhere without a brush, since it oxygenates (bubbles) and then rinses clean with sufficient water. I always pour some water in a hot pan after I’m done cooking to let it soak a few minutes while we eat. Makes clean up so much easier SAFETY NOTE: Never mix ammonia and bleach. It produces pure Chlorine gas and will kill you like a British soldier in WW1.

You mean the Provo with a median housing price of $453k? https://www.redfin.com/city/16042/UT/Provo/housing-market

I know there is a narrative that people want to live in bumblefuck, but housing prices and demand don’t lie

Well, the parts of America that people want to live in.

Baking soda is basic (alkaline). It’s why any cleaning idea that involves combining it with vinegar (unless you want the foaming action of the reaction) is sorta dumb. But I’d recommend Oxyclean Free. Leave it to soak overnight. Works like a charm.

It's true, your mom does appreciate some afternoon delight.

Related: I once stayed in an airbnb in San Antonio where the coffee maker barely brewed. Three rinses of vineagar later, there were literally tiny balls of limestone in the bottom of the carafe.

Some of you guys really slept through chemistry in high school, huh? Descaler, as previously pointed out, is an acidic solution designed to remove deposits left behind by your water, which for you guys living in the Edwards Aquifer means a metric fuck ton of calcium carbonate (I.e. limestone) Coffee descaler is vinegar based. Dishwasher cleaner is citric acid based. Both are acids designed to desolve and wash away gunk in the tubes of your respective appliances. The poor man’s version of dishwasher cleaner is an upright cup of vinegar run on the sani-cycle. Tl:Dr- it’s fine. As to the type of dish soap: it’s all about the sudsing effect, which is added to Dawn so people feel like their hand washing is getting shit clean. Shit gets bubbly when over aerated in a dishwasher splashing around. You can get rid of the suds by dumping a 1/4 cup of neutral cooking oil in the dishwasher to reduce the soapiness and then run the dishwasher empty. For all the chest thumping about Cockrell, I’m a humanities major from Bates fucking College.

It’s like when you first go on Spotify, before you’ve uploaded and curated lists, and you are just liking a few songs and getting used to the interface. It gets a lot wrong before it learns what scratch’s your itch. For example: I like certain country music, but in general, I’m not a big consumer. But you click like on Dwight Yoakum’s cover of “I want you to Want me,” then the algorithm assumes you want to see a dozen big hat country channels, and not a clever covers channel.
