I'm in Massachusetts and I heat my house primarily with a central electric heat pump and supplemental mini-split heat pump. I do have a natural gas backup just in case, but I haven't needed it this year at all even down to 18⁰F
You're not changing what racist uncle is doing or thinking no matter what you do. I deal with racist uncle too, you know. I'm busy radicalizing the kiddos ¯(ツ)_/¯
I went to great lengths to get my family group chat migrated from FB Messenger over to WhatsApp, and then Meta bought WhatsApp. I'm doomed. I'll never get these Americans to transition to something like Signal
Also, why isn't there a slide cover to physically cover the camera, and why can't I turn off the mic and camera separately? So I just use one of those black foam stickers to cover the camera.
I have neighbors who got a one story tall inflatable dragon for Halloween last year and just left it up until Christmas. It was so popular that this year they have an entire yard full of Christmas dragons. I love it.
I'm decently fluent in Spanish and Portuguese might as well be Arabic to me. The pronunciation is wildly different. Which is crazy because I can actually understand written Portuguese pretty well. Then it's like, "Wait...how did you get those sounds from those words??"
The first was an exchange student from Ecuador who attended my high school. She actually cried. The other time she told me she cried was when she started dreaming in English instead of Spanish.
The second was a girl I knew in college who had moved up from Florida to attend Ohio State. The first snow that year was that dry snow that blows around, but there was enough of it that everything was covered.
Walking back to our dorm, she kept gathering up handfuls, trying to make a snowball, and she asked if we could make a snowman. We told her it wouldn't work because this is not snowman snow, and she was mystified. "There's snowman snow??"
First time we had that good, heavy, wet, sticky snow, we took her out and made a 7-foot-tall snowman haha
The bigger problem is that it teaches kids that they are powerless and must appease authorities. It took me the better part of my 20s to figure out that I hold just as much power as my boss and I don't have to appease anyone.
I completely disagree with the sentiment here. My 40s have been great because they marked the point in my life when I finally lost my last fuck to give.
The freedom that provides is worth not being able to drink the way I used to in my 30s. Enjoy that achievement.
Dude, this is so amazing, thank you! I just found a raptor rescue a couple towns over from me that I didn't even know existed because I never thought to look. I'm donating to them for Christmas. Thanks for bringing this to our attention
