Not to mention that he clearly isn't the shooter.

Waltz was a smart pick, and she would have done a lot better if she hadn't muzzled him and his weird campaign.

I live near a huge highway construction project, and about once a month they break the water main, meaning we get a boil water notice for ~48h.

I have a Culligan water filter that runs to a spout on my sink, and one that's on our ice maker, but we use the level 1 canisters to remove the taste from the water. These canisters are good for about 6 months of regular use (ice maker is about a year).

During the boil water notice, the level 1 filters aren't sufficient to filter out bacteria and such, so I'd need a level 3 filter for that. But, those are expensive and only good for about 2 months, so I don't want to exclusively use them.

I'd like to have one in storage that I can throw on when we have a main break, but I'm not sure the best way to store it. It's not super easy to drain the water out of the canisters.

Edit: While I appreciate the thought, I'm not interested in alternatives to my setup. I like my countertop water dispenser, and I'm looking for a way to keep my current QoL during an outage with the least amount of trouble.

It's also just not true. Most people will find work to do if they have none. That's pretty much what hobbies are. And all of the people I know who lived very long lives stayed active volunteering the whole time. My grandmother was like that, and died at 97 shortly after she had to stop for health reasons.

Not to mention that if your basic necessities are covered, you could still work to buy things that aren't necessities.

They didn't track him down because he wasn't the shooter.

I'm glad he gets to waste not only his money, but Meta's and TikTok's too.

It's because he's the only one actually doing anything. It sucks that he's the one who is doing it, but we should be encouraging the behavior instead of shitting on the only person giving Trump the middle finger.

Is he perfect? Hell no. But don't let perfect stand in the way of good. Well, maybe not good, but not a genocidal fascist.

Allegedly by a bunch of 15 year olds. It was probably 2 seven year olds in a trench coat.

You're not free to enforce your religion on others as a public servant.

That's why you never use a school or work computer for personal use.

Has blatantly violating the law stopped any of Trump's other nominees from being confirmed?

My house has an out building that I've converted into a home gym. I'm working on getting as much up off the floor as possible, so today I installed this wall mounted weight rack.

Installation was surprisingly easy, apart from driving massive lag bolts into 3.5mm pilot holes. I'm glad I didn't listen to the directions that said to install the top 170cm (5'7") from the ground and instead did 183cm (6'), because the Olympic bar is just slightly off the ground.

The right most bolt didn't quite line up with the stud, but it's secure enough for now until I remove the top piece and throw in a large drywall toggle bolt.

Next up will be steel pegboards to hang things like resistance bands and handles from.

This is a good thing. Don't mock people for realizing their party has abandoned them and acting accordingly.

Better late than never, but we need to support this ideal.

Then pay living wages. It's hard to feel sorry for you when you're crying about losing your slave labor.
