I love some knipex. I've also had great luck with Icon tools. It's harbor freight's knock off versions of snap on, knipex, etc. They're built good, i abuse them and they keep going. And they have a lifetime warranty. Haven't tried the icon ratchets but I hear good things there too

I'm not gonna let the intruder in my home (who keeps hitting me) stay there because I refuse to break my lamp over his head.

Russians in Ukraine is a much larger threat than less shrubbery.

This is an interesting point I haven't seen before. I think I agree, but only after suicide for medical patients is legal. And also, what about people not in a life sentence (whether a shorter sentence or someone not incarcerated)? Should they have any legal outlet?

Is there a difference between wanting to kill yourself and not wanting to live through a life sentence?

Few years ago Texas required 'In God we Trust' signs to be displayed in classrooms. Schools weren't allowed to pay for them, so basically donated. They conveniently rejected the signs that had a rainbow on it, or the one written in Arabic.

Apparently, the average citizen pays about a half million in taxes in a lifetime. So this means 15 people spent their entire life being honest taxpayers, so these cops could be a piece of shit.

Glad the family got paid at least. Wild that in 2020 these cops didn't have cams yet; not exactly a rural area.

I was in the same boat, 2000+ mile drive. NE Texas isn't looking too bad right now! But if you're up to it, drive up to Arkansas. I did that today from Austin-ish. Clouds up here are looking much more optimistic!

Does anyone know what the wealth of the bottom 99% is?

Relevant quote from article...

“The Israeli military is currently using Rafael’s Spike missiles to target people inside buildings in the Gaza Strip right now. The same weapons that Canada is buying are being advertised as ‘battle tested’ against Palestinians.”

“For Canada to be choosing to purchase these weapons from Rafael is a direct endorsement and a direct financial support to the Israeli military’s devastation and carnage in Gaza,” Small added.

Downvotes for answering D: I'm not opposed to closing the account. But the museums alone could be costing boa 10-30/month, assuming each admission is paid out close to face value. Surely this helps the community more than a CU, and costs boa more than they could possibly make off me (since I pay no interest, and hold no checking/savings there).

CMV?

I will consider this. Is Amex a better organization than BoA? They both kinda seem like banking behemoths to me. Cust supp is nice, but it's not something I use often.

I agree, I even have a savings account at a local CU. Tbh their dividends on that account have been disappointing. I may look into CDs through the same institution.

Considering I only have a CC through BoA, and I've explained how I believe I'm a net negative for them, how am I contributing to their investments? Perhaps they're selling my data? Or perhaps I'm boosting their numbers by simply having an account? Honest question.
