Just wait. The day is coming when you'll have to book reservations for national parks years in advance just to visit, and you'll have to be accompanied by a chaperone the whole time.

People are people, which is why we can't have nice things.

Do not go to discount freight and grocery! If you all show up there you won't leave any good deals for me!

I mean... They're... bad, them and their (checks receipt) cheap food. It's stale, stay out of that briar patch, etc., etc.

I swear to god if you run them out of jalapeno cheddar brats I will turn this internet around.

Edit: and yeah, I get that logistics/transport thing. So many moving parts and people in so many different places.

Join the Secret society deep in the heart of the Kraft bureaucracy, and one day, you too may be able to throw back the doors of the holiest of holies, the might cheese vault!

Seriously though, working cold storage sucks balls and they probably frown on taking a sample.

Or they have a cheese fountain in the breakroom, I dunno, I'm not a prophet.

No, we got to see the organic eggs. There were only a couple million of them. The facility could hold tens of millions, IRRC.

You haven't lived until you've seen the equipment to stack pallets of eggs on racks 30ft high.

I don't think they let the public into the cheese repository. You have to go downwind of the Kraft plant to verify the actual existence of said cheese.

I chaperoned one of my kids' field trips there last year.

It's impressively large, and if you're into industrial goings-on, it's pretty interesting.

Short feature list: Extremely seismically and temperature stable, miles and miles of roads, railroad access, server farms out the ass, a strategic national cheese stockpile, and millions of eggs, plus a lot of unmarked buildings holding everything from paper records to the Ark of the Covenant, for all that anybody knows.

Oh, and they have to rent one part, the land under 65 is owned by the government, and the facility is on both sides of the highway.

TL;DR: Underground warehouses, if you're into that.

Well, I mean they have a point. An Indian snake charmer mostly likely would have more experience with cobras than any other Indian in the US in the 1950's.

I'd also bet that whatever circus he was performing at was perpetually raising the Indian demographic of most of the midwest to a non-zero number just by him being there.

Roller skating along pouring kerosene on the ground is almost better gas mileage than tanks get. The literally get .6 miles to the gallon.

The drug I used was Spravato. It was a nasal mister. Twice a week I would go to my psychatrist for 2 hours, inhale it, and sit there.

It took a while to work, but it had a moderate positive benefit for me. However, it's not cheap, and when I went on medicare, they don't cover it for shit. Plus you need a driver to pick you up. There's no long term benefits, when you stop using it, the mood improvements go away.

I honestly got more benefit from levothyroxine, a thyroid medication you can get from Walmart's $4 drug list. Every psychiatrist checks your thyroid, it's a major cause of depression, but mine was completely normal. Very few psychiatrists know that taking it can still help with mood even so. 20 years of depression and I've only ever met one who suggested it and then got it prescribed by another who was willing to try it.

It just has a side effect of "mood changes". Those mood changes amount to a euphoric feeling. I had severe suicide ideation and intrusive thoughts. They dropped by like 80% within days of starting it.

Not much at all. Swords were tools. The single most common one was the falchion, aka machete, owned by probably every farmer in Europe in one form or another. It was also the most common battlefield sword, used by nobility as well.

Generally, other than a belt knife, the wearing of weapons when not "under arms" as a watchman was limited to travel, and even then not always, depending on the size of your traveling party. The medieval world wasn't nearly as violent as most people think; a simple walking stick or staff was usually more than enough. The idea that everybody was armed and armored constantly is a modern invention.

Same. Every class of SSRI, plus ECT, TMS, and ketamine.

I have a list of less than 10 that work, and I've never found found any combination that puts me anywhere near "well controlled".

I knew a project manager with the same problem.

JH is a shitty company.

Because nobody, even him, is seriously interested in cutting off their ability to put their hands in the cookie jar.

This is grandstanding. It's something the American citizen desperately needs, and that no elected official on either side of the isle has any motivation to fulfill.

This has nothing to do with Ukraine, or energy prices. You aren't the only ones experiencing winter.

This is a treaty you've been in since post WWII. You agreed to the terms in 2006.

Stop whining "we're spent out". Germany is the richest economy in the EU. If Greece and Estonia can do it, if the UK can do it, you can fucking do it, you sad sacks.

Your government let your military go to shit in favor of cowering under the US's shield, and now your coziness with Russia is coming out.

You have no excuses for this. It's not a new requirement, it's not an emergency requirement, you've literally been a deadbeat debtor on this for decades.

False.

Trump merely pointed out that the majority NATO was failing to meet them. At the time, only 5 did: the US, UK, Greece, Estonia, and Poland.

As of 2022, 9 of the 30 do. France and Germany, notably, don't as of the beginning of the year.

Nope.

The M1 has high fuel requirements, but someone in this thread already already pointed out that there is Soviet era equipment on the field on both sides with comparable requirements.

And the M1 has fairly low maintenance needs, and is extremely field repairable. IIRC, you can swap turrets and engine packages in the field fairly quickly.

Egypt and Saudi Arabia have fielded them for a while now, and Poland has had their training unit running for a bit, and nobody has come up with any maintenance stoppages that require US support to overcome that I've heard of.

A shame they can only throw money, and not actual military aid, then.

Look at it in terms of GDP. France and Germany are sending embarassingly little compared to places like the UK, Canada, Poland, the former Soviet Baltic states (Estonia gave a whopping 1.1% of their GDP and Latvia 0.93%) a whopping 1.1% of their GDP), or Norway.

For a country that suffered under Russian occupation, they aren't giving like the rest, that's for sure.

The US gave 0.23% of its GDP, comparable to Canada.

Even in GDP terms, they're far outclassed by Poland and the UK, it's just embarassingly shitty how little France, and especially Germany, have given, compared to their economic ability.

The US has 3.5k M1's in long term storage.

Germany can barely keep its own military funded and running and says it won't be able to meet NATO GDP requirements set in 2014 until 2031.

They're bitches who expect everyone else to pony up but won't do it themselves.

Edit: 2006, not 2014.

Agreed. This guy is completely full of shit.

Edit: Half of everything in his history is deleted.

Oh, lol. That's my bad. What does it say?

Frankly, they have to be so obtuse it could be anything. At first look it looked like an 80's themed Rush sticker. I mean, is Rush even alive anymore, let alone touring?

It's got so little information on it it could be from a dozen groups, if not hundreds. "Rise up" isn't exactly a trade marked phrase.

So the guys printing these up at Kinko's and pasting them everywhere aren't exactly getting any sort of message across, except to the mouth breathers who already know the code, so this is so much mental static that's gonna get ignored.

I've gotten good stuff from there dirt cheap. A leather recliner virtually unused, that went for $600 (I looked it up) I got for $80.

I'd do that, but Mercy doesn't let it's GP's prescribe benzos like Clonopin or Ativan. But I've had my prescriptions done through my primary care physician in the past, and if you don't need controlled substances, they can be a good starting point.
