Sure hard work pays off eventually but procrastination pays off today

Ask a doctor. Don’t ask for medical advice from strangers on the internet

You mean the Gulf of America? Does that mean the leases are void now?

One thing that’s occurred to me. The argument on the Trump side against DEI is that folks should be hired based on their ability to do a job yet the main qualification of the people he is putting into positions of power is their loyalty to him

Well technically it’s a milestone, just the last milestone for a child with gullible parents

I don’t get to Europe often so I’m going out on a limb here (a very strong, stout limb) and say The Waffledoodle https://mrhero.com/menu/chicken-bacon-waffledoodle/

I came here to also suggest you spend time outdoors. Long story short, it’s been my savior. Besides fresh air, sunlight, exercise you’ll find you meet the nicest people outside. Backpacking was my initial excursion outside, once a month year round, it taught me a lot. Confidence, organization a feeling of accomplishment. However it’s hard to get out often, maybe for you too. My suggestion is to find an outdoor activity close to home that you can do often. Hiking, paddling, birdwatching, fishing. Good luck i hope you find everything you’re looking for

One bourbon, one scotch, one beeeeaahhh George Thorogood in case you didn’t know

Like everyone here in have stories but instead of adding to the pile may I offer a simple solution. I tell people who fall this stuff to make a list and post it on their fridge. If just one of them turns out to be true they can call me up and rub it in my face. There are two reasons I suggest this. First, the people in the media who push this stuff keep a steady flow of BS incoming. They put out a new one to distract from the last one. Second, back in 2011 I realized it’s like a cult and I did a little looking into what it takes to get people to snap out of it. The expert I found said there is nothing you can do, folks have to reach their own conclusions. Should any of your friends come around just let it go, don’t make a big deal about it.

No I googled it, they’re correct. Lead in gas was outlawed in the 90’ but they started phasing it out starting in the 70’s. I started driving in '84 and don’t recall ever having a choice but my memory is fallible

Lead was phased out long before then. A steady decline in crime has been attributed to it’s removal. Not just in the US but in other countries also

The Roman numeral M=1,000. Greek kilo (K)=1,000. The only plausible explanation is the local sewer district is run by Romans.

Phyllis Fong is her name. She is brave and she deserves to be recognized

Is it a doxxhund? I can’t tell

There’s a lot of losers on Lemmy. They talk tough but they’re full of shit. Sorry to hear you have to put up with that

Anything to deflect how stupid it was to sit out the election. Eat shit morons you get what you deserve

I nominate Pete Hegseth’s mom.

I remember arcades being dimly lit. Otherwise the glare would mess with you when playing a game. Also the noise! Admittedly i skipped through this video but some of what I saw was definitely from the 70’s. Pinball was pretty much dead during the 80’s but made a resurgence late in the decade into early 90’s when they got a little more high tech.

Got a new snowblower also thinking the same thing would happen to me but I’ve gotten quite a bit of use out of it already.

I live in Cleveland and began backpacking in Pennsylvania thirty years ago during the coldest, snowiest winter since the 70’s. My buddy and I rented cheap snowshoes that were awful, that summer i mail ordered a pair of Atlas snowshoes when they first became available. I think I’ve used them twice since. That’s why every time I hear someone griping about the winter, my suggestion is to buy skis or snowshoes because it’ll never snow enough. Or to put it another way; buy these and you’ll realize how infrequently we have snow on the ground. This winter has been an exception though, same thing with three years ago.

I too wanted to be a mountaineer! My friends and I even took a class on Mount Baker. It’s a lot like being on a chain gang. You are tied into a rope with a few others and if you don’t move in unison it can be frustrating. I settled on doing some pretty heavy duty backpacking, way more chill. Now I fly fish and just like backpacking, Ohio isn’t the best place for it but I’ve learned to get over what I call "the grass is greener syndrome ".
