I personally underestimated the support Harris would get. I remember lots of progressives being unhappy with her back in 2020, due to her background as a prosecutor.
Between that and the obvious reasons Republicans would go after her, I figured it would be an uphill battle.
Very happy to have been wrong!
I get Robin Wright vibes. Maybe they were going for the subliminal House of Cards reference?
That's a great call, regardless of climate!
I have to disagree a little bit personally. It can be a chore, but sometimes there is a sense that you're taking this generic piece of tech sold by the millions and tailoring it to your personal preferences. It's a little silly and superficial, but it can add a little extra enjoyment to that whole experience of getting a new shiny that you've been looking forward to.
All that said, paying $95 for the experience of setting up a used exercise bike is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.
I lived in the Minneapolis area for many years, so I can provide a little insight. First off, you will be fine through September. Early November is when snow that lasts for more than a day or two starts to become a real possibility.
-Tires: Your best bet, even with 4WD/AWD is to have a second set of snow tires mounted on cheap steel wheels. (4WD/AWD doesn't do a damn thing for steering or stopping distance!!!) Swap those over around early November and back to your "regular" tires around late April. If you live in a suburban area, roads will get plowed and sanded quickly, so you are probably fine with GOOD all season tires. But if you're considering an exurban/rural area I would certainly recommend snow tires. Studded tires and chains are not allowed on highways in MN as far as I remember, but the laws in rural areas could be different.
-Oil: Check your owners manual. At worst you may be recommended to swap from 10W-30 to 5W-30 or something, but it doesn't get cold enough for long enough to be a strict need.
-Block heaters: With modern vehicles, it's more of a luxury than a requirement unless you are living in the northern part of the state. If you have an attached garage, it should be a non-issue.
-Other: Always keep a bit of warm weather gear in your car. This goes triply if you live in a rural area. Imagine what you'd want if you were stranded for 4 hours at -20F. Gloves, a hat, some handwarmers, a small blanket at minimum. A small shovel and a bag of sand or kitty litter can help you out if you are mildly stuck in snow. Get the good windshield washer fluid, the stuff that's rated to -40F. You'll go through a ton driving on the freeway after salt has been laid down, and it is MISERABLE if it starts to freeze up on your windshield.
Yep, I was wearing that clown makeup too. Dems have not impressed me much lately with being able to deliver a coherent and effective message, so I was fully prepared for a shitshow of disarray if/when Biden dropped out.
It was very surprising to me how effectively they were able to leave Trump stumbling just as he seemed to be on the upswing. The utter lack of disorder around it almost feels like Biden was planning to drop out of the race all along, just waiting for the right moment... but that's probably giving him too much credit.
It's definitely not not the goth mommy we've been after.
ETA: This is example 24,873 of Republicans' imaginary scare tactic actually seeming pretty damn cool if it were real.
I've got both Plex and Jellyfin running at the moment. Plex is nice for sharing with family since it's more plug&play for sharing outside your LAN, and it is certainly a little more polished in some areas.
But I've been very impressed with Jellyfin as well, and would wholeheartedly recommend giving it a whirl. If FOSS appeals to you at all, it's a solid choice.
In most cases, you really should have no issue running them simultaneously if you're not ready to commit to a switch.

Short answer is put a tag like "-featurette" in the filename, or add a folder to contain the extras.
Jellyfin supports the same structure as far as I can tell. One thing I've found Jellyfin does better is in allowing you to organize extras for TV shows in with each season, while Plex only seems to allow you to dump all the extras into the root folder for the show.
I was about to reply that the reason they were trapped was because the door handle was blocked by the package, not because it was holding the door shut.... but you're right, this photo was taken inside the dwelling.
(As also evidenced by the deadbolt mechanism another poster noted)
It makes me wonder if there are any substances that are safe to inject straight into your tissue that your body would even notice--let alone kill you--if you ingested in the same quantity as an injection. Icky taste aside...
No problem! If it's any consolation, once you're past the initial investment of a second set of tires, the costs average out over time to be about the same as using all seasons.
Just don't drive on the winter tires too far into the spring because once it gets above 40F or so, they wear pretty quickly.
