I don’t do curbside and I don’t use food delivery services. I shop/eat the old fashioned way. Customer service was going downhill before the pandemic; it’s a complete collapse during and after the pandemic.

The city where I live requires a pet license for all dogs and cats, to be renewed annually. Fifty bucks each (dog or cat) with a 50 percent discount to seniors. Failure to pay, per pet, escalates ($100 fine for the first pet, $200 fine for the second, $400 fine for the third and so on). Fail to pay a fines results in…

88 percent of SAG-AFTRA actors do not meet the minimum $26k annual wage requirement to have health insurance.

I grill with charcoal. Been doing it for years. I do not use a thermometer. Instead, after years of experimentation, I settled on using a timer. Using my cellphone timer, I grill according to time.

Looking at the photos of the CEO sitting inside Titan, I see the monitors are screwed into the carbon fiber vessel.  Really?

It’s been referred to the Department of Redundancy Department for further investigation into the investigation.

The standard line from the Oregon fire marshal was pumping gas is inherently dangerous for ordinary humans and required a trained “professional” to do it  (cough, cough). Of course, the empirical evidence from 48 other states where ordinary humans pump their own gas never sunk in with the fire marshal.

“ ... (it previously retailed for $4450, ...”

“If you wanna get to President Trump, you’re gonna have to go through me, and you’re gonna have to go through 75 million Americans just like me,” Lake recently said at an event in Georgia. “And most of us are card-carrying members of the NRA. That’s not a threat, that’s a public service announcement.”
