I really enjoyed most of this one,but the ending ruined it for me. There was a set up for a great twist and they just dropped it at the last second.

UPS and FedEx stores also have print services.

It would be more economical to pay for people to relocate and train them for new jobs. There's plenty of room in cities and suburbs for the displaced. To be clear, I'm not talking about getting rid of towns of 5000; I'm talking about towns of a population of 500 or less.

Hey, if they want to stay when the water, electric, sewage, roads, fire department, police, and all other publicly subsidized services are removed they are welcome to it. We all shouldn't have to pay because a handful of people can't adjust to the century they live in.

The idea that eating carrots helps your eyesight came from WW2 Britain. It was an intentionally spread lie to cover up for the fact that they had radar.

Sounds like it is perfect for the old rock salt special.

I've said it before, but we need to start shutting down all these miniscule towns that have no reason for existing. They are nothing but an economic and social drain on the country.

There are scholarships for people with POTS and disautonomic disorders. Get your grades up and work towards going away to college.

Some do, but they happen less and there is legal recourse when it does happen.

During the Recession, in Chicago , a thing called flash mobs started happening. A bunch of people would storm into high end stores, grab whatever they could get their hands on, and run away. I would love to see it happen to big grocery store monopolies, Walmarts, and the like.

Plus the wedge is easier to explain if someone makes a surprise visit to your house

 

The government uses the Whiskey Rebellion as justification, ignoring that is both before police existed in the US and before the Posse Commitatus Act was passed.

 
 
 

I pay all my bills online so I'm used to navigating logins and payment apps. I never have nearly as much trouble paying credit card bills.

My password wasn't working, so I tried recovery. The recovery asked for my email, birthdate, zip code, and last 4 digits of my SSN. All things I know well, but they say it's wrong. Now I'm locked out of my account for the 2nd time in two days....

I almost think it's a conspiracy to enable charging people more late fees.

 

Luna is a 3 year old standard poodle. We have had her for 3 weeks and I already can't imagine life without her.
