Whenever I read anything about male birth control, I always flash back to reading Still Life With Woodpecker by Tom Robbins as a teenager... and wish there had been that option every second of every day since, but it was particularly moving then.

“one of the greatest minds of the 20th century”

They’ll have one for this before too long as well, it’s how d’ey do.

I live in WA, but not Seattle, cost of living’s pretty huge and I’m a telecommuting freelancer so I don’t need to be anywhere in particular. I’m from NY, and spent a long time wandering around the country trying to find a place that had the best combination of people, politics, entertainment, weather, and opportunity,…

Thank you. This person knows THE TRUTH.

“The researchers compared their results to an unmapped suburban region and found that their system [labeled] more than 80 percent of the populated portions, which they believe ‘significantly improved map coverage.’”

That may be, but it’s also a relic as a sandwich filling.

Seattle, where Starbucks is based, was the first city in the country to approve a $15 minimum wage, and generally treats its workers well (other than Amazon, of course.) WA generally had expanded medicaid (Apple Health,) before Obamacare. Both city and state are VERY progressive, and Starbucks is a Seattle institution…

I mean... this is all you’ve got? Palm Beach County in 2000? Ohio’s voting machines in 2004? tThe Georgia SoS not recusing himself from overseeing his own election? Court wins against gerrymandering? Kris freakin’ Kobach?

That’s what I’m sayin’... it’s a CRITICAL sandwich component.

Personally, even though I look like I have Geordi La Forge’s eyes implanted in my neck, I go with the neck-band style that routinely carry a ~12 hour battery life (rather than the ~5 hrs max the “truly wireless” ones have.)

I think the idea was “when would you ever take the dongle off the headphones.”

Is anyone really surprised by this? Didn’t Fudge drop her bid for the speakership because some someone floated some dirt on her they’ve been holding back for a long time?

Ummmmm... don’t most cuffs have the same key, or at least a limited number of possible keys, and don’t the cops generally have a set of all of said keys lying around somewhere?

*To be fair - the essentials box is actually a rather large, plastic tote per person that’s quite heavy when full.

Yeah, they’re a very “Seattle” business.

I do both the overnight bag and the “essentials” box... (I’ve mostly done in-town or near-by moves mostly by car which involves multiple trips,) because I know I’m a lazy, procrastinating ass that hates moving. I know I will run out of steam or lose the will to keep going on moving day and I’m not sure which place…
