Aaaand they’re gone

Or maybe it’s about relative protection of cosmonaut suits vs astronaut suits, like they thought, “well maybe not quite as well as an astronaut, but better than a cosmonaut”

I believe you meant “raising hell” as in bringing it too the surface of Earth and recruiting Satan’s legions to fight with you, not razing hell as in cutting it down, because how would that help?

Oh c’mon, I just had the sudden urge to say “irregardless!” and decided not to resist it for once.

Irregardless!

Don’t use nose tissues as toilet paper!

They’re made stronger for sneezes, not designed to “dissolve.”

They’ll gunk up your pipes !

I interpreted “I despise getting ready in the dark and getting home in the dark” as you hating both equally. As an adult, I agree I’d rather get up and drive to work in darkness to gain a little daytime after work. But I recall as a child being miserable going to school in darkness.

Yes. The key is to turn off the motor, and get out before you start to worry about the battery.

Not a ritual but I’ve occasionally arrived home in the middle of an NPR story or a piece of music 🎶 that I’ve let finish before going inside.

The difference between DST and ST isn’t going to help that. The daylight is shorter regardless.

I, on the other hand, am such a pedant I will point out that twats is plural, not possessive, so it doesn’t get an apostrophe. Upvoted your comment, though.

Along the same lines, I’m getting close to Medicare age and swamped with ads for “Medicare Advantage” plans which are for-profit and notorious for denial of care. Meanwhile I can’t even get government information about Medicare itself and/or basic supplement plans for another few months. I know that if you start with Advantage it can be very difficult to get back to real Medicare and exclusion of preexisting conditions can apply, just like in pre-Obama days.

We can’t even take care of that, how could we care for an Yggdrasil?

We had the Amazon Rainforest…

This is not what we have in Los Angeles. We have bus lanes on the right in many places, where cars can only enter if they’re turning right. We have HOV lanes on freeways, on the left. It’s not a California thing

Agreed on most points but any political “swag pinned to your bag” would be illegal within 100 feet of a polling place

So now that you’ve got your Y problem solved, what was the X problem that led you to trying to remember the phrase? Or did you solve that part, but still had that nagging question in the back of your mind?

Ah, but you’re forgetting, there’s a population of 200 TNR cats at Disneyland! Oh wait, I’m not sure if DisneyWorld has cats too. In California, cats have been there longer than Sleeping Beauty’s Castle.

And their short i’s to a short e

You’re SoCal? One of the things I do miss about the other place was the Los Angeles sub. The one here is practically non-existent.
