If your wind power charged a battery and you hooked up to it nightly with your electric car, it could. Certainly if the municipal grid uses wind power.

Yes exactly

Pretty sure the billionaire scourge is worldwide and the list of worst dragons excludes royalty (looking at you, Thailand, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, etc) which tilts the numbers toward the US.

But as for the OP, people in the US don’t use “holiday.” We have a couple weeks of "vacation " annually if we’re lucky. So the source is from elsewhere.

I believe the image is more about young folks today not having enough money to even start a family. Because of wealth hoarding, but by billionaires, not this guy. The use of “holiday” rather than “medical debt” and “student debt” leads me to think it’s not about America at all.

Only buy in bulk what you can and WILL eat before it spoils. Staring into a cupboard that’s empty except for a huge box of something that seemed like a deal but now makes you gag is … a life lesson.

Since it’s just you, buy cooking vegetables frozen in bags, so you can take out one serving and don’t have to hurry to eat up the broccoli wilting in the fridge. Unlike canned, frozen veg keep their nutrients. Which you do need. Being unhealthy isn’t frugal.

I mean, who wouldn’t? How satisfying that would be if it weren’t painful for the other. Tyson went for the ear, but probably just because trying a nose bite in a fight invites a head-butted.

I checked but it appeared to be commercial products like Doritos Milk. Not bastardizations like mine. Next time I’m going to try a fresh raspberry.

The creme works with the salty unsweetened peanut butter for me.

You know, I also tried raspberry jam, and I’m not one of those “it’s too sweet” people but it was too sweet. I feel like the plain saltiness of the natural peanut butter worked best with the sweet Oreo goo. I love Skippy but maybe not here. Still, you go ahead!

Old US person here, we used to call it Peking too. I think (haven’t looked it up, but it was what I was told at the time we changed it) it’s a less-accurate version from Westerners who didn’t really listen or asked the wrong person, and Beijing is closer to how the people who live there pronounce it.

I’m sure they do because I do

I understand the gut-level aspect, even though for me it’s the yucky feeling of bare feet on wood or tile floors. No carpet or rugs in our place, it’s easier for the wheelchair. Which by the way can’t change its wheels when coming in. I tried outdoor shoes but they were disgusting in a week. I’m trying out a habit of stepping barefoot into the room, (from the balcony) picking up my shoes and clapping them outside before putting them back on, rubbing each already-dusty-feeling foot on my leg as I do. We shall see. I’m terrible at consistency.

I live in LA by the 405 so probably.

By the time I get to my apartment any dust I picked up outdoors (Los Angeles, little mud and no snow) has been lost to the hallway carpet. Meanwhile road grime blows in through every air gap, and the great majority of household dust is generated by indoor life, whether it’s the detritus of our own skin, lint from fabrics, particles of paper, cooking vapors, asthma nebulizer, and even cleaning products. What has made the most difference is using a MERV13 filter in my HVAC and keeping the doors and windows shut except when I go out to my balcony garden to tend to my plants.

I’ve tried it but I could’t keep track of which was which, especially when I go out one door, across the big balcony (10 meters) and in the other door, to a different room, which would have another “outdoor” pair but no “indoor” pair sitting there. I would have to put down the watering can, go back around the other way, and back around through the apartment.

I also noticed no difference in floor dirt when I was trying to be strict about it. So it seemed like a lot of attention paid for no payoff, and I stopped.

Huh. 8 can’t wear crocs, they mess up my plantar fascia. The shoes I wear 98%of the time are a version of these sparkly Skechers, with great arch support: https://theflipflopzone.com/products/119631-vinyasa-happy-spring

It feels very impersonal, which is probably because/why it’s used so often by detectives investigating deaths. There’s a noncommittal “… but yes you’re a suspect, and where were you at 7:22 pm last night?” that goes with it. I’m sorry for your loss, but what did you gain?

As a human talking to a friend you can probably do better. But think it out and practice it beforehand, because saying something, anything, is better than getting tongue-tied and saying nothing. Or worse, avoiding them altogether.

Nah, if anything the store clerk is envying your dinosaur toys. I know I am.

If you don’t like the idea of saying “I’m sorry for your loss” because it feels like apologizing for something you didn’t do, you can use the classy and traditional “My deepest condolences on the loss of your…”

And it’s a legit question, no hate generated.
