Trades workers, but we skip the gym and get paid for lifting lumber/pipe/concrete/etc instead. On site with tools in hand at 7am. Lunch at 11.

Not to mention that you're going to go through another $5k in custom compounding for the post surgery meds. We used to make everything in a viscous paste with tons of sweeteners and green apple flavoring. They'll spit almost everything back out at you.

The joy on that man's face when he's playing is contagious even though the screen.

Go to your town council meeting and come prepared to demonstrate to them how poorly (if at all) encrypted and ripe for misuse these things are.

Then remind them just how large of a budget item it is.

Check out Louis Rossman on YT as well - he's got a whole database of info and links to other useful resources for fighting this crap locally.

You forgot the matching shag lid cover and short pile seat cover.

So I don't get a DOGE check or a tariff check from the Feds, but I'm going to get a refund from Costco?

If we were going to elect a businessman, it should have been the Costco CEO.

Probably would have signed an EO on day one freezing hot dog prices.

I find that my problem with most modern movies is that they don't have Lo Pan in them.

Especially when the 'nearly finished' job is all beat up, obsolete, three tab shingles.

That's not even torn off yet

#11 I let her try under the condition that she had to clean it up after. There hasn't been a second attempt yet two years since.

Good luck finding one that isn't just a tape eating machine these days. My last 3 yard sale pulls were all basically mimics that thought VHS tapes were adventurers. Fortunately you can get multiple copies of Titanic (2 tapes) for 50¢ apiece at any Goodwill to test with.

Not sure why everyone is saying that they did the roofing already. That's 20+ year old three-tab shingling and they haven't started the tear off yet. This is like the first hour of the job.

$11.99 for any size at Costco.

Canning and pickling.

I still make my great grandma's garlic dill pickles and huge batches of tomato sauce in the Ball jars.

I use at least two pounds of salt for the pickles if it's a good harvest.

I'm planting out a lot more than usual this year because everything has gotten so expensive.

You'd be amazed at how many tomatoes you can get off a single plant in a 5 gallon bucket.

Actually, they're free from almost any real lumber yard.

My local yard even sends a few out with my deliveries, even if it's just a single door.

Even my local dumpster guy gives them out instead of business cards.

25+ years using them daily on job sites and I've never paid for one.

I had a friend in college who was fluent in 6 but could only do math in German, which was actually his 3rd language after French and English. The brain is weird.

A friend of mine is a civil engineer and worked on a project where the aqueduct went under 87. He had to get security clearance from the FBI to be allowed to run the project and it was just redesigning an off ramp for better drainage.

I will gladly follow Thumpy, for surely he will lead me henceforth to barbecue.

Well now I'm going to have to look for it when I get my next Discworld book since it's just one shelf over!

Marcus Aurelius would like a word. Several words...

Maybe even an entire book worth of words called Meditations.

It could even be entirely about introspection by one of the greatest leaders in history.

My uncle has been in Stage 3 for a decade after a decade at 2.

Cut out high potassium foods like bananas, tomatoes, and potatoes. It's the biggest thing you can do besides drinking enough water.

Holy crap that's the exact TV we had for the NES in the 80s.

DeRosa stated on a podcast prior to the game that they were already advancing and played mostly backup players instead of the starting team.

Awful job by him.

Adding prosciutto or pepperoni is fine, but capicola is mandatory. No gabagool, not an Italian.

So I'm going to be out like a grand on the new transmission for my old truck, but at least I still have an upvote!

27 cents?

Went from $2.80 on Friday last week to $3.29 today on the NJ side of the Philly burbs.

59 cents per gallon in a week.

I can remember some of the guys in my last period HS Physics class nearly passing out because they were dehydrating themselves to make weight for that afternoon's wrestling weigh in.

Then they'd chug like a gallon the instant they got off the scale.

And that was without a paycheck involved.

That's a shed. A shed that should have been built for 110mph winds but wasn't.
