Manage your finances. Know where every penny goes. Budget as best as you can - plan for all of the things you know you spend money on through a year. It doesn’t mean you can’t spend money on things you like, but it does mean that you know when you can afford it. It gives you confidence and control no matter how much you are making.

The department is working tirelessly to apprehend the criminals.

Kamala is Exxon?

They have them in the wild at Pinnacles National Park. Had maybe five or six flying about 60 feet over my head at one point during a hike. Amazing birds. Would recommend.

And yeah, probably the rarest animal I have seen as well. Though we had a Lawrence’s Goldfinch in our yard regularly in an area where they are extremely unlikely to be seen. Different kind of rare I guess.

The latter, just to make everyone else in my organization question themselves. Whether it is correct or not is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is the seed of uncertainty that I plant every day.

The fire got out of control after he threw a spray can into the blaze. … This guy is clearly meant for bigger things.

It’s pretty tasty, to me at least. But I like mushrooms so YMMV. That said, it’s not overly earthy or eating a bag of shrooms. If you ever, as a kid, saw a tin that said Hersheys on it in the cupboard and grabbed a spoon; well, it’s like that, but a little better. The cocoa in it is what gives you the caffeine bump IIRC. Assuming the ingredients are legit, then there is good stuff in it, but I think this is really geared toward another group of people than anyone trying to curb coffee. If it was cheaper, I’d drink it every day.

To answer the question, sorta, you could grind a batch of lions mane and chaga and have at it. This has other stuff in it to for palatability, but like you said, you could make your own variety if you want. Again, assuming the ingredients are accurate, it would be good for you, as long as you can manage to choke it down.

Knock your knuckles against your car door to zap static electricity on something less sensitive.

For those who enjoy peanut butter and banana sandwiches, take it to the next level with Sriracha sauce.

I was going to say, this guy has presidential nominee written all over him.

She walked him like a dog. Flatly stated he could be easily manipulated, and proceeded to do just that. He could not even muster the courage to make meaningful eye contact with her the entire debate. She just stared him down and dominated him. How brutally emasculating for him.

Absolutely. If you haven’t seen Washington Crossing the Deleware in person, you simply haven’t experienced it properly. You don’t get the sense of scale on the internet. Same with the Louvre, d’Orsay or any other world-class museum. Even local museums like the Columbia Maritime Museum in Astoria OR has exhibits and stories that really require that intimate exposure to be engrossed in the information. It transforms your reception to the exhibits and cannot be replicated virtually.

“He/she just tells it like it is” No, they are just saying things that resonate with you, but have no actual alignment with data, facts or morality. Simply saying things with no filter doesn’t equal “like it is”. I find it is usually attributed to, at best, oversimplified or completely ignorant statements, at worst, misleading and/or hateful statements.

Crazy. I have hiked hundreds of miles in the thin hiking socks, and while they weren’t nearly as durable as the midweights, they still outperformed every other sock I have tried. Smartwool, rei, carhartt, typical cotton socks etc. I guess as with most things, YMMV

Well, that sucks that your experience was poor, especially at their price point. I would be a bit frustrated with the brand as well.

I do indeed. Most of mine are the midweight quarter high hikers.

That’s like, what, a banana maybe?

One of the only brands I would ever promote, Darn Tough socks.

Wear em out, ship them back, order a free pair. It’s that easy and they are the most comfortable, durable socks I have ever worn. Won’t ever buy another brand.

Damn Alex, that’s a sore-dick deal if I have ever heard one. Carpe fuckin diem, comrade!

Dang. I didn’t realize how bad Sync is at rendering posts. It’s a giant unformatted mess for me as well. That screenshot is a far more tolerable presentation.
