In Ohio you have to vote early at the county election board and last I checked it was only open regular business hours. For me that means 30 minute drive in, pay for parking, 30 minute drive home. Waiting until election day I can walk to my piling place in 10 minutes, wait in line for 30-45,then walk home in 10 minutes. For a lot of places it’s not as easy as voting on election day.

The love language test in part because it was a great way to start a conversation about our romantic needs with my spouse.

Answer their question with questions. If they ask about your weekend all about their’s then followup on a detail. They will talk for a couple minutes then end with some version of “hey great chat but I need to get a couple things done”. If you want to remain approachable you need to give people the chance to talk but also don’t really need to share much of yourself. Keep tabs on the easy things(kids, spouse, etc) and you have a lot of variations of very basic questions for a short conversation. How’s kid liking school? Did you and spouse have a nice weekend? Then one or two follow up questions to them and you can end the conversation without the other person feeling like you blew them off.

It’s been running for about 20 years so there are a lot too go through. There are a few filler stories along the way which are good and bad but the main story is really well written and illustrated and pretty different than most stories I’ve read.

Girl Genius is one of my favorite. https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php

The title excludes the fact that the location is a police training area and the groundskeeper thought it was a prop for training not some Halloween decoration in the suburbs.

I really like the whole composition of In Waves. It really feels like it’s telling a story and all the songs flow so well into one another. I generally prefer albums that are whole and not just a collections of songs or singles. In Waves is probably one of my favorite albums for it’s cohesiveness.

And yeah black album is great but I think MoP is just bangers all the way through. If I want thrash metal I want Metallica and I don’t want to slow down haha.

Trivium - in waves

Lorna shore - the pain remains

Metallica - master of puppets

Sum 41 - does this look infected

Arch enemy - rise of the tyrant

Florence and the machine - MTV unplugged

Frank turner - positive songs for negative people

Highly suspect - mister asylum

Maybeshewill - not for want of trying

The mountain goats - the sunset tree

Same with me. The amount of graphs that are misleading at best that are portrayed in the news is infuriating.
