Also don’t forget to look at your insulation around your lines outside each year. They need replacing sometimes. If you can feel cold, you need a new one. If you don’t, you’ll see ice forming in the summer, and that is very very bad. Don’t forget to test heat and cold BEFORE you really need it (we just tested ours on a decent warm day)

I go to an HVAC supplier every year and buy this green can of amazing chemicals. Spray the fins, let sit for about 15min, then spray off with a hose. Gleaming, shiny metal.

Find books written about farming/saving during ww2. Get a freezer and a canner. Stock up on beans/rice/etc (long shelf life foods). Save bones from meat, boil them for 6 hours, then let fool and strain them. Can/freeze the broth (I put mine in quart freezer bags flattened out in the freezer). One quart added to 1qt water is filled with nutes for soups and such. If you have a fireplace, keep a bag of dryer lint for kindling. Buy heirloom seeds, learn how to save seeds (Whenever I grow green beans I always have 100+ dried pods in autumn as I usually only have enough to harvest 2x with any real quantity. Each dried pod has at least 4 beans). Buy things you need now that tariffs will affect the most (electronics, coffee, etc.) Start learning how to fix things yourself, get basic tools (drill, hammers, driver sets, wrenches, etc). Fix car problems now, before parts go up. If you know ANYONE still alive now from the 30s to 40s, pick their brains on what they did. Also, get books on identifying plants. Sorrel is awesome to add to food for flavor, dandelions are a good source of Vit C… my knowledge is limited, but so far that’s what I’ve tried (do NOT eat roots of dandelion).

US. I looked, only found a link for $40/12m… nothing free unless a TX citizen.

Any examples?

Leaky ship?

Oh fuck. I forgot about Thiel helping him. No wonder he supports Trump. A damn circle.

Thank you. I will forever remember this moment and the House laughing at MTG as my favorite MAGA idiot moments.

Wonder if it could build around laptop mobos… I threw together a design around my daughter’s broken laptop (screen) with Tinkercad and cut it using a laser engraver, but it bugs me it has an open gap around the ports (I am not that talented with a caliper, and I’m a little lazy)

I need to become an author, create a Cthulu religion, buy lots of boats, and an island with a giant Cthulu statue with no explanation to keep it a mystery. I’ll build a church and instruct everyone to stay away from the island. Inside the statue I’ll pay a person to sell merchandise…

I’m kinda hoping for a Cthulu Church myself. Can you imagine how cool the aesthetics of the building would be?

Would corn syrup stop it from becoming solid? I love honey but budget mind thinks, “buy bulk” and 1 yr later I have like half a quart left to practice my own tar experiment.

“But you could get bonuses each pay period up to $100”… which after taxes comes to about $60, after union dues $58. Extra stress and work that makes you more than $100k more a year is not worth $720/yr to me thank you. Give me percentage and we’ll talk.

They crank that shit to 11. It took me 25 minutes of 5 tries at this, then a reset, then another 5 minutes to do the temp, then another 5 to find out it was the wrong damn playstation account…

I live in a red state. The neighbors are practicing more with their rifles. But this state used to be blue and has always been 2nd amendment centered (but not always gun worship, just everyone had them for hunting or home defense), so should be interesting if someone actually commits. Jan 6 kind of tipped their hand on how much of a clusterfuck that would be.

Also, read about the “trial” of Hitler. The judge was sympathetic as hell. So far our judges tell Trump to stfu.

I love Libby but my county library is about to get defunded by 90% which means digital books are gonna be scarce.

I use Smart Audiobook Player. Only downside is renaming .m4b files to .m4a.

This was LD50 for me

I’m sorry, that vowel appears to be out of your range. How about a ‘y’? It’s got a great view of the assend of most words, and a turn increase of only 34%!

But the crap going to Saudia Arabia is better? Or to private corps? They all do it, and they all need to be stopped.
