I like this idea, too.

Donate it to something like habitat for humanity.

Everybody talks about Hitlers camps, nobody talks about America doing the EXACT SAME THING, ROUGHLY AT THE SAME TIME!!!

Not that the internment camps were or are defensible, but we weren’t gasing Japanese Americans or driving them out by the truck/trainload and shooting them in the woods.

Yes, some died in the camps- roughly 1,600, but none through and intentional and concerted effort to exterminate an entire race, with the number of Jews dying in nazis germany roughly 6,000,000.

You don’t need to be hyperbolic. The internment camps were bad enough on their own; but they were not the same as the holocaust.

Because kidnapping is one thing and seeing them convicted is another.

I want him convicted in a court of law. Legitimately.

All of these stupid fucks, to be clear. Musk. Trump. Vivek. There’s a long list of assholes that need some justice.

as equal authority, I propose we just lock them up.

I'm sure we can find something to actually justify it. Like, you know, betraying classified secrets to the russians, as well as providing intelligence and military aid;

If you can, ask someone already there. Depending on the exact type of work, they may have very specific recommendations, and they’ll have a better idea of what the climate is like than we will.

In general, you’ll want to be able to layer clothing. Start with the base layer, whose job is to be wicking away sweat.

Mid layers are for insulation, and it would be prudent to get one light sweater and one heavier sweater, maybe a third or whatever. The idea being you can increase your mid layers to stay warm but not too warm as necessary. Same for pants. Around here, I usually go for a tight base layer, a loser waffle-weave longjohns and shell blouses into boots.

Keep in mind, that layers being worn to the outside should be looser so as to not compress layers being worn closer to the body.

Patagonia makes some good, hard wearing stuff as a general brand to check out, but there far from the only one.

Hats and gloves are important, too and for gloves I’d consider getting mittens at least as one option and maybe lighter fingerless gloves to wear inside. (Or lighter gloves. Especially if it’s possible you’ll need manual dexterity)

Also, bring a book or something to read, and plenty of snacks that don’t necessarily freeze. Hydration is also important and illumination.

Try to stay away from caffeine, among other things it also constricts the blood vessels limiting circulation in your extremities.

Absolutely. just as soon as Trump hits the whitehouse everything that caused the decline is going to go away.

because they're assholes who care more about staffing prison labor programs than about the american people. There's a reason incarceration is the only form of slavery enshrined in the constitution, and it ain't because the labor is somehow reformative.

just poke the fake-muscle suit with a needle. It'll deflate comically.

(actually, I'm pretty sure it's clay sculpted and then used as a positive for a silicon mold. He was still ripped for the role, but... not that ripped.)

"They have investigated themselves and insist they're not guilty. Aid groups are lying!"- Blinkin, probably.

That’s a perfect body pillow. Perfect for snuggling up to on a cold rainy day.

Did fox give him an employee of the year award and a $5 visa giftcard?

(Oh… look article doesn’t say. Probably a REMFIE participation medal.)

 

Granted, I was going to slap it onto one of my parent’s shiny kitchen appliances and make jokes about it being a mistake to let them have WiFi…. But still…..

Florida man sneezes his intestines out of his body at restaurant

I try to read all the articles I post but for this one I noped out after 1 sentence. Enjoy!

 

Saw this going to a friend’s house- they bagged the fire hydrants….one thought was snow; but this is the first year apparently. And snow has been a mild issue this year compared to most.

 

Which do you use and why? Which one gets it cleaner. If it matters we have “real” winters here, meaning snow cruft and salt that absolutely must be removed.

Edit to clarify: I’m talking about a choice in automated car washes- not hand washing cars. Seems people are getting confused. Touchless is a few passes with a pressure washer. Soft touch adds spinning car-wash brush things.
