10-16 million voters who didn’t feel it was necessary to stop a fascist?

Use diesel fuel or kerosene. Gasoline is too explosive and the vapor will burn your eyebrows off when it blows.

I wonder if she could talk Putler into taking a nap and ending this shit. If the could just give her the chance.

I’m about the same age. I remember playing with the simplest dumb things. Like the roller bearings left over from some failed engineering project. Or my dad’s old calculator with the vacuum fluorescent display. It’s tricky to instill that kind of make-do entertainment in my son when the iPad can play anything you want any moment.

Actually the trickiest thing has been teaching him to ride a bike. Our street is crazy busy and short, with no sidewalks. So we have to drive to a park or quiet neighborhood to practice. He’s almost 7 and it still hasn’t clicked. He did start really swimming (and diving) this summer though. Which has been awesome.

Roll over, roll over🎶

I so metal working as a hobby. You’ll hurt yourself, but it’s usually burns and using the the hammers as a thumb detector. Fingernails grow back though usually. It’s the angle grinders you gotta respect.

Tell her that scars are cool and go for it!

Just wear eye and ear protection, and get a good leather apron and welding gloves.

Or the fact that the billionaires are burning the most oil (which Norway sells them BTW) and baking the whole planet.

Yeah there was a lot of really nice design going on at the time. This looks like the discount cases from the early 90s clones.

Thanks to this thread TIL it was one of the few serious competitors to ATTs monopoly.

Southern Pacific Communications and introduction of Sprint

Sprint also traces its roots back to the Southern Pacific Railroad (SPR), which was founded in the 1860s as a subsidiary of the Southern Pacific Company (SPC). The company operated thousands of miles of track as well as telegraph wire that ran along those tracks. In the early 1970s, the company began looking for ways to use its existing communications lines for long-distance calling. This division of the business was named the Southern Pacific Communications Company. By the mid 1970s, SPC was beginning to take business away from AT&T, which held a monopoly at the time. A number of lawsuits between SPC and AT&T took place throughout the 1970s; the majority were decided in favor of increased competition.Prior attempts at offering long-distance voice services had not been approved by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), although a fax service (called SpeedFAX) was permitted..

In the mid-1970s, SPC held a contest to select a new name for the company. The winning entry was "SPRINT", an acronym for "Southern Pacific Railroad Internal Networking Telephony".

Lock picking it open is probably the best choice, or just dragging it away with a stolen Kia.

Hey hey hey, half cowards.

A lot were busy manufacturing, mining, or farming towns.

The mines run out or become unprofitable.

The manufacturing has largely moved to out of the states, or been automated.

And big farms and grocery stores have squeezed independent farmers out of everywhere but the farmers markets near rich cities.
