I find it easy to not freak out. Probably by upbringing.

The airline (and the manufacturer) decided how many seats to put on that plane and how much to charge for them, and came up with a system that packs in the low-paying passengers to make the higher-priced seats more attractive. To maximize profit, the airline sacrificed the happiness of its customers. This is a common…

Well, its kinda helpful if you were hoping to sell for some profit and go get some new guns.

Though technically most of them are and have been tanking due to a certain career political criminal not having being elected.

I forgot about the increase in personal time.
I used to spend 30 minutes in the morning and 45-50m in the evening driving (36 mile round trip in suburbs).

When they say travel they do seem to mean “Go to some big city and do cultural things”
My version of travel is to avoid cities and find a national park or forest.

The goal is to be capable of fully retiring before I’m 50 and working only because I want to, not because I have to.

If that means I don’t get firsthand…

Because guns are around and not going away
Because its fun
Because its can put food on your table
Because it promotes conservation
Because its useful for protecting oneself
Because safety and shooting fundamentals do NOT require a professional.

On the one hand, I don’t like toy guns because playing with toy guns will probably lead to some bad habits that need to be broken when you start teaching the real thing.

On the other, they are great fun. The old man got all the grandkids some MP5 shaped noise makers a couple christmases ago. The four year old girls…

My company provides a laptop and docking station. CPNI being a big deal they want total control over the hardware connected to the network so its completely expected they would provide a laptop.

We would take it anywhere we want to overnight, but not use a motel also.

Like if we wanted to go to a very nice zoo that is about 4hrs away we’d make a weekend of it and camp at a state park nearby. Or when going to my parents. The old house is crowded and the camper makes a nice private place to escape and/or put…

Most of our long distance travel is in national parks where electricity is almost universally non-existent so regular dorm fridges aren’t an option.

Your typical camper (ours included) uses a 3-fuel absorption fridge which runs on AC, DC, and propane.

Most of the time we use propane since of course we don’t have…

Getting a little popup camper with a mini fridge has opened up a whole new way of eating during travel. Trying to eat out of a cooler for 7 to 12 days has never worked well for us. By the fourth or fifth day we get tired of messing with ice and the inevitable soggy ingredients.

I exclusively work from home and have since Jan 2015. Daycare is essential.

Its all about establishing a narrative.

Even people who are not leftist/progressive tend to share the viewpoint that corporate/industry lobbyist = bad

So if you manage to convince people that NRA lobbying efforts are funded primarily by gun makers and not gun owners thus the lobbying efforts are corporate efforts, not…

That would contradict the narrative that the NRA is really a shill for gun makers, and that the People at large (including the majority of NRA members) want aggressive gun prohibition, but the mean old NRA buys off our politicians.

All the cars in the lead pack made it through. The next six or eight cars all with damage and laps down were about 5 seconds or more behind the lead pack so by the time they got to turn three, Almirola was already on the apron.

So the track was basically clear and it was safe for the leaders to keep going to the…

This is the same as the G/W/C rule they had in place before they did the overtime line thing, the only difference is now instead of being limited to three attempts, they keep going until they succeed or no one is left running.

They actually went 23 laps past the scheduled end. Kinda stupid actually. They really need to just give it one go at plate tracks and that’s it. Tearing up a bunch of equipment for no damn good reason.

I think the only changes to stages I would make is to remove them from road courses. They work great at the ovals to shake things up. Not many laps to spare on a road course for pre-planned 3 to 4 lap caution periods. This is especially true for the Xfinity series at Road America.

If it hadn’t been rather cold and with a snowstorm forecast that same day, we probably would have walked as well for ours last week.

We can see the hospital from our house. Only about 1000ft of walking.
Probably would have helped things along.

Bonuses aren’t the only reason that wages haven’t grown, as Cohen points out. There are a number of factors, including the decline of unionization, globalization and a minimum wage that was higher in 1968 (in inflation-adjusted dollars) than it is today.

You missed probably the biggest reason
The increase in costs of…
