Howdy neighbor! Like you, I found shopping with the plastic Giant Eagle cart to be a transcendant experience. So quiet! So smooth! Such a manageable size! It’s pure bliss. The Giant Eagle usually shop at doesn’t have them yet, but when I go to the Market District instead, those plastic carts make me irrationally…

You, know, to be honest unami is correct. The savings difference is minuscule in the short run and many will NOT notice a difference on their monthly bill. And the price IS high enough for many to put them off from the initial purchase. And this is coming from someone like myself who has replaced the many halogen can…

Here’s an example of someone who thinks electricity is priced too cheap so it’s ok to waste it. Are you also the guy who remote-idles his truck for 20 minutes?

There will always be troglodytes.

Scientists have proven what nature has been doing for millenia:  dead leaves fertilize your land!

Mulching mower. No issues. 

A rake and a tarp. Rake (or blow) the leaves onto said tarp. Drag tarp to wherever is needed to remove them or you want the pile. Repeat as many times as needed. You’ll be surprised how many leaves, and how quickly, you can get done this way.

You left out the best one - mow the leaves with a mulching lawn mower and let them fertilize your lawn.

I hate these fucking things SO very much. The Devil’s lawn appliance. 

It’s possible to see leaves as biodegradable mulch which is good for your lawn and beds too. 

Counter point DON’T go to a nude beach.  The people you WANT to see naked are NOT the kind of people you would see at a nude beach lol.

Thank you for NOT making this a slide show! 

Hell, take it one step further - just don’t enter an intersection you can’t clear. It frustrates me to no end when someone gets caught in an intersection and blocks perpendicular traffic because they couldn’t wait their turn to get through.

I didn’t realize this was even a thing until about 6 months ago... I was stopped at a green, because there was no room from me on the other side of the light (there was already 1 1/2 cars sticking into the intersection); person pulls into the left turn lane (immediately to my left) and then cuts in front of me (in the…

Zipper merging only works when nobody has the “let’s see how many cars I can pass before I have to merge” mentality...   so zipper merging doesn’t work.

I leave “stopping distance” - if you insert your car into that stopping distance - YOU are an asshole.

The fact that Donald Trump isn’t on this list is a yuuuge glaring omission.

I never understood the notion of “not waiting until the snow stops”. Unless you’re looking at more than a foot, or you have a small, underpowered snowblower, there’s no reason NOT to wait until it’s over. Unless you really enjoy doing it (I do not).

“Does that make sense?” is a way to check in with your listener. Confident communication need not be unidirectional communication.

I mainly think this is going to continue in phases. For a lot of America, it isn’t even real yet. And that should be a good thing, but the trend has been that places aren’t issuing stay at home directives until it arrives. Only 30 states have issued these types of directives.
