It’s so weird, I’ve tried various shampoos and conditioners of every type and my hair just seems happiest with the cheapest shampoo I can find with absolutely no conditioner. With anything else I wind up with horible dandruff, hair which gets greasy within 6 hours of taking a shower, or hair which dries out so bad it looks like I got the worlds shittiest perm. But as long as I use some cheap ass generic mens shampoo that’s scented like a verb then my hair is fine.

I did this on an environmental chamber temp controller a while back because it was running an embeded version of windows.

Has she considered upgrading to being unemployed. Or maybe becomming something at least slightly more morally sound like a prison guard or an ice agent.

If you just want to prevent opporitunistic break ins then you just need to make your house a less appealing target than the neighbors. A sturdy door, motion activated lights, and a dog can do that easily enough. If you want to go the extra mile then put up a few cameras. The cameras don’t even need to be real. I used to work for a fortune 500 company that made extensive use of fake cameras on their properties. The trick there was that they also had a few identical looking real cameras as well so unless you had insider knowledge, you would have to consider all of the cameras real.

Now if you want to stop someone who is determined to break into your house specifically then that gets trickier. You will never stop someone determined enough so the goal is to just make the process of breaking in as noisy and difficult as possible. You will want a good and properly mounted deadbolt on all your doors. By properly mounted I mean, throw out those dinky 1" screws that came with the deadbolt plate and mount that plate with some big old 4" long screws. A deadbolt plate just screwed into the doorframe does little good. But if you screw that thing clear through the door frame and into the (preferably doubled up) stud behind it, then bashing in your door goes from requiring a swift kick to requiring a ram or a sledge. Also, if you don’t like the look of bars on your windows, you can just apply huricane laminate to your windows instead. It’s a film that is designed to be applied to windows in huricane prone areas to prevent debris from flying through the windows. It also makes smashing in your windows a tremendous pain in the ass. The glass will still break but it will all be held in place by the film similar to a broken car windshield. It is possible to get through but it is a very time consuming and conspicuous process. Finally, cameras. Now that you’ve made it a pain to get through your doors and windows, you want to be sure that anyone who would still be willing to put in the effort also knows that they’re being watched the entire time they’re breaking in. Yes you can still smash in a door with a proper deadbolt or smash in a laminated window but few people are willing to spend that much time on camera being recorded committing a crime. Beyond those measures your walls become the weak point and there isn’t much you can do about that without rebuilding the house.

Tiger balm.

A lot of those same agencies are also the same agencies you’d activate if you were getting ready to boot out ice too though. I guess only time will tell exactly what is going to happen. But Walz did seem like he regretted and learned from his response to the George Floyd protests. It seems likely to me that he may swing the other way this time.

Yeah, running for office they need to seem bland enough to appeal to the most people. It’s kind of a shitty system when you only see their true colors after they are done campaigning. Although, Walz at least has always been pretty transparent in that regard. He’s always just been a small town highschool coach. He’s not a political creature.

I wish we could keep him in office. But in a way I am also glad he’s getting out of politics because especially these past several years it has been clear how hard the job is on him. Him getting out of politics is going to be bad for us but good for him because he is a good person. Asking him to run again would feel like kicking a puppy. He’s the only politician where I’ve ever felt like I needed to apologize to them for voting for them.

What I got from the speech is the following in fairly quick sucession.

1. We won’t have minnesotans fighting minnesotans.
2. The minnesota national guard are minnesotans; they are your friends and neighbors.
3. The minnesota national guard has been put on standby.
4. Ice is not wanted in minnesota and they need to leave.

The fact that points 1 and 2 were said right next to each other says to me at least that the national guard isn’t there for the protesters.

This would be more funny if it wasn’t a picture of my house.

That’s the stated reason that Walz put the national guard on standby. He said he put them on standby and that he wants ice out of our state; the implication there being that ice can leave on their own or be escorted out. He’s not running for reelection so he has no reason to hold back anymore. I have never seen him quite that clipped in a press release before. He is furious. We may have ice being forcibly deported by the MN national guard shortly here and that is going to get very interesting in a lot of ways

And the environment!

No it definitely isn’t I’ve never heard of honey on pancakes only on toast. Maple syrup is the normal pancake topping. We actually can get the real stuff pretty easily where I am too because Minnesota is practically Canada.

I’m a usaian and this is the first time I’ve ever heard of pancakes with honey. Could be a regional thing though. The country is a big place.

I’m a service tech headquartered in the Mississippi river valley and the the beauty of this landscape is just awe inspiring. I was born and raised here so I tend to take it for granted but there are still days where it just takes my breath away. I’ll be driving my van out to some random site in the middle of nowhere and I will cut through a pass in the bluffs where I see the golden hour sunlight shining off the valley below me; it is just indescribable. I’ve been all over the country and the only places in the country that rival the natural beauty of our regular rural areas are actual national parks like yellowstone or the badlands.

Ah, gradual reforms.

Where are these good dating apps you speak of?

There is literal food grade mineral oil for this exact purpose along with lubricating food making equipment. It’s basically completely inert and is sometimes even used as a food ingredient. You can straight up drink a jug of the stuff with no health repercussions other than the violent greasy shits you would get from drinking any oil. Just because it’s a petroleum product doesn’t automatically mean its bad for you.

Or, it’s time to just stop allowing any shipping traffic to or from St Petersburg. If Russia keeps using civilian vessels from there to perform military acts of sabotage then it seems perfectly reasonable to stop allowing any vessels to travel to or from there. Any ships bound to or from that port need to travel through another countries teritorial waters to access the ocean and at this point they would be well within their rights to stop allowing those ships to travel through their waters. Enough is enough. Russia can either quit their shit or stop having a useful port in St Petersburg.

My only real complaint about osha is that often there’s no actual investigation into who’s at fault, everyone present just gets fined. Theres no tact, no logic, just a fine hammer. We fairly recently got fined for working on a construction site where the plumbers didn’t mark an open pit while plumbing a new mop sink. We were the HVAC contractors working on the roof. How the hell were we supposed to know what the plumbers were doing inside the building?

On the other hand, to play devils advocate, every contractor who was on site is going to think twice before working on a site with those plumbers again. But it still feels increadibly unfair to be fined for something you had no involvement in and no realistic way of knowing about. Are we expected to keep tabs on what every other company on the site is doing and if they are following their specific trades regulations?
