New (interim) Director of Athletics may have had something to do with it.

Are you me? I had the same thoughts. For others like us, here you go: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kurononeko

Did you miss the bit about 11 years of school to get to that point (and the debt that will come with that)?

Odd. I just did it and it worked for me.

If you get a message urging you to deposit a check and wire money back, it’s a scam. Every time. No matter the story. And if this were a legitimate car wrap opportunity, wouldn’t the company directly pay the car-wrapping vendor, instead of asking you to do it?

The FTC didnt beat around the bush on that one.

Only 8 months since that vote and this is where they are at now in the county. How much longer can those remaining 5 EMS staff for the county hold out before they also burn out and leave...

I did not believe you, but you were not wrong...

The free ones are “OrangeRed” (the pixelated one), “Doge,” and “Wall Street,

Thanks for the link!

Voters in Calhoun County turned down a chance to deem EMS "essential" and raise taxes to better fund the service.

They did it to themselves last November... https://www.kcci.com/article/voters-in-5-of-8-iowa-counties-pass-ems-essential-fundinghttps://www.kcci.com/article/voters-in-5-of-8-iowa-counties-pass-ems-essential-funding/41915203

About 10 years ago I needed a new can opener. I also bought the EZ-Duz-It from Walmart, it was like $9 at the time, double the cost of the other one available. Totally worth it, and I still have it. The only way I see this thing breaking is if I start using it to loosen rusted bolts on the car while changing out the brakes.

That's been a good one for me too. I have been running the Dell D6000 for over 4 years now for work, no issues. Every port but the 3.5 and one of the USB-Cs being utilized daily.

Is this thing really for sale?...

And here I was thinking my 360+ hours in BoTW was excessive....

Getting there:

In preclinical trials, participants received a dental lozenge the size of a cough drop, with a core of calcium and phosphate coated in a layer of peptide-infused flavoring.

Not yet:

Further research is needed to investigate the permeability and chemical stability of the mineral layer to achieve an effective, easy-to-apply treatment for dentin hypersensitivity, including implementing the peptide-guided approach under in vivo conditions.

I always thought Fat is satieting. In other's uou may get the opposite effect of becoming round from consuming it.

Not OP, but... I took a pay cut years ago not as dramatic of a cut about 104k to 72k. I no longer had to drive to work but took a bus so I saved 90 miles (145 km) a day in driving. So I had a big savings on gas, and car, and with the time savings I could switch my kid to a regular daycare because I no longer needed extended hours. I had more free time to cook all of our meals so I had a big savings on food versus take out all the time. I also had the time to do work on my house versus hiring out. I cut back on vacation budgets but we had time to get out of the house and play at the parks and trails nearby every day. All and all a cut in income but a big increase in enjoyment in life. For savings I was able to save about the same between the two jobs.

It was the Wheel Of Time series that got me to get an e-reader, those books where massive tomes and a PITA to carry around. I've stuck with an e-reader since, easy on size, weight, and the eyes. I got a Kindle Paperwhite for the back lightning like a decade ago or when ever it came out and use Calibre to manage the books on it.

I was already playing around with Lemmy, and after a few weeks I checked back into RIF and saw his post, so I came over to .World.
