I wouldn’t say that the general election is too terrible thanks to early voting and no restrictions on party affiliation effecting your vote. It’s the ridiculous primary system that is the problem. Granted, it’s going to be a problem as long as a party can state in a court of law that it’s allowed to break its own…

I got a kick out of you saying Circle K is a local AZ chain. I mean, it is, but it’s like saying Walmart is a local Arkansas chain. Circle K is pretty massive (we’ve had them here in NC for decades).

On topic, BP installs flush readers on their newer pumps (the ones with TV’s in them) that make skimmers more obvious…

That’s usually because the person actually handling your script is a tech. Depending on your state, techs can be about as well-trained as your average McDonald’s cashier, and usually make about the same wage.

You’re welcome. You definitely did your homework on the kit, so don’t let anyone knock it. An e-tool is a bit overkill for just hiking. Even in the Corps, we rarely used ours and would probably ditch it for a hump if we could get away with it. One suggestion to refine your kit is to grab a larger drybag to act as a…

As a Marine, I’d ditch the lunchbox and small willy p bag (we just use ziplocks for socks because Marine pay sucks too much for fancy drybags), and I’d add an e-tool, leatherman, and a flashlight. Besides that, this kit isn’t bad. The pack is a bit pricey though, but not the worst I’ve seen if the quality is good.

That makes more sense. I run a produce department, and generally mark things down when I know they only have a few days left. That can get tricky since many fruits can go from perfectly ripe to rotten in as little as a day (looking at you cantaloupe).

This seems off a bit. I’m Lumbee, and our territory actually goes past Laurinburg, Red Springs, and Lumberton. It’s about twice the size this chart shows. Our historical territory is unknown since we’re a ‘post-white people’ tribe that DNA evidence suggests were Croatan.

I tend to throw all reason out of the window in the Philippines. I’ve bought so much food from random dudes getting on the bus or at my cab window.

I wouldn’t worry. Most of the figs you’ll find in a grocery store don’t require pollination to produce fruit, and therefore, don’t contain wasps.

If they’re molding that quickly, then it’s because that’s not mold. It’s crystallized sugar.

I’ve been using that exact LG since the last time it went on sale for that price (at Best Buy) about a year ago. It makes an excellent gaming monitor. However, this thing does not play well with my 960M on Windows 10 (Asus ROG). I’ve yet to pinpoint the exact problem, but it started after the GeForce Experience UI…

And? I can say the same about South Carolina. That’s why they have to get $8 in welfare for every dollar the state generates.

“If you like cold showers, shitty sparse, restricted internet and having to worry about getting people in trouble for telling them all the news they weren’t allowed to hear, it’s the place for…

People living in abject poverty isn’t a reason not to go. I see abject poverty just going to the nearest grocery store in South Carolina. It’s also pretty damn totalitarian if you’ve ever had to go to court in South Carolina, thanks to unhindered right-wing rule. Collusion between the cops and courts is very common…

Just to add to the Youtube Red list, you also get the Youtube Music app. It gives you access to the massive library of Youtube music videos. You can switch between video and audio modes. No ads, since it comes with Youtube Red. Filters out non-music Youtube videos.

I’ve actually found myself using it more than Google…

To be fair, if you’ve ever been in an Asian restroom, they’re pretty damn clean. In Manila, there was always some janitor cleaning up the bathrooms. In Taipei, there is actually a person basically wearing a hazmat suit dedicated to each bathroom just to keep it in pristine condition.

You also tend to find bidets…

I do quite a lot of Asian cooking, mainly Japanese and Filipino, and my “must haves” for umami are miso (red and white types, but white more for soups), soy sauce, fish sauce, dashi/bonito flakes, crushed toasted sesame seeds (grind them up and sprinkle them as a topping) as well as whole seeds, sesame oil (it comes…

I’ve considered this. I’m halfway through my CS degree in the US, but I could go to the Philippines and get a 4 year for what one semester at a community college here costs. The education is also geared towards English-speaking nations due to the amount of outsourcing the Philippines gets. For example, if you become a…

I could see a connected garage door opener as a security measure to let you know if your door is open. I know I could use that, but I wouldn’t really consider it a replacement of a built-in opener like the one I had on my SRT6.

The Republicans enjoy that you continue to hate on him. It lets them know that the Democrats are still split into Progressives and right-wing Neoliberals like yourself, meaning they’ll never win another key election.

Sniping? You mean like calling out Cory Booker for not wanting poor people to get drugs they can afford? Refusing to police your own is exactly how the Democrats became rotten to the core to begin with.
