Yeah this just looks like a name recognition poll. Kamala’s chances of beating trump aren’t any better than Biden’s.

Can also just heat a regular butter knife over the stove or more ideally in hot water
I’ve been made fun of for thinking butter tastes/feels off after sitting out on the counter, but it absolutely does. If you want soft butter, take it out like an hour before or soften it with heat and whip it back into a homogeneous mixture. I usually cut a pad and melt it on top of whatever I’m making before spreading it. Anything but leaving it on the counter to go bad…
Cheese is a weird one though. Definitely refrigerate cheese.

non refrigerated ketchup always tastes funky unless it’s the kind that’s packed with a large enough buttload of preservatives that they no longer have to put “refrigerate after opening” on the bottle.

Considering what these presidents were doing politically when they were assassinated for their politics, this sounds like a mighty convenient narrative for a dogmatically anti-communist state to feed to the populace after the fact.
They mean the author should have used “you are” instead of “are you” to make it a statement instead of a question.
Walmart did this with their wifi recently, you have to enter an email to get access. Of course it makes sense that mobile data doesn’t really work inside a giant steel warehouse, but I can’t seem to recall not having any mobile data signal at all until my last walmart visit.
I used to keep to myself and look up the location of the item I was looking for online. If they want me to bother a floor person for it though, doing that is highly preferable to giving walmart my email to sell along with any information they can extrapolate from my usage of their network.
Yeah they’re not talking about it nearly as much as they should cause their spokespeople are asleep at the wheel.
Huh? Quick search shows that Oliver Tree is 30 years old, so birth year ~1994 or so. The jazz design came out in 1992 and was widely available through the early 2000s, by solo cup after they purchased it from sweetheart cup in 2004… I really don’t see how he shouldn’t know where the design came from, but regardless it’s become a pop culture/nostalgia symbol because it’s just a good, widely recognizable design. What else does he need to know?
Can’t. The cab needed enough room to put the family so you know where they are without having to mow them down first.
Also, why the focus on rich and middle class? Is the vast majority of america not “lower”/working class? Edit: it seems like the entire conclusion of the study is based on the influence that money has in politics.
One thing that does have an influence? Money. While the opinions of the bottom 90% of income earners in America have a “statistically non-significant impact,” economic elites, business interests, and people who can afford lobbyists still carry major influence.
Of course if you focus only on people with money then you will come up with a conflicting result… so yeah. I also feel like I am missing something here.
No, I’m fairly certain you would not use an apostrophe there. That’s what trips me up though because, at least in my mind, ‘it’ takes the place of the possessive noun in that clause and therefore it should have an apostrophe. but god forbid the spelling remain consistent between the two 🙄
Nah its/it’s actually trips me up a lot because ‘its’ is an exception to the possessive apostrophe rule. What really gets me is seeing someone use a possessive apostrophe on a plural s. That is inexcusable.
We are actively being held back by companies catering exclusively to the lowest common denominator.
Yep. Happens a few times yearly for me here in the midwest, in every place I’ve ever lived, usually after a storm knocks out a power line or a transformer blows. It’s generally not for longer than a day or two but a direct lightning strike did knock it out once for like a week. Given, my state ranks pretty low for electrical grid reliability.
Our power companies, being privatized, have very little incentive to invest in their infrastructure until it’s already on its last legs and they can’t avoid it anymore. So they invest in politicians that let them put it off for as long as possible instead :)
What was it they said about capitalism breeding innovation?
I don’t think you realize how few calories are burned by exercise relative to the amount packed into our food, especially if you eat without thinking about it. I was dancing for a while, 8 hours straight of sometimes very intensive cardio, and only burning like 1000 extra calories (according to my fitbit) on those days just to feel like shit the next day from all that work, which would definitely have driven me to eat even more if I wasn’t paying attention to my diet or able to control my impulses (which tbh I think one or the other can be assumed for someone 100+ lbs overweight).
Even the most intensive bike ride or couple hours at the gym can be eaten away in as few as 7-10 oreos or a large fountain drink. Sure, if you just need to trim a pound or two to get to your ideal weight, exercise alone can do that along with many other great benefits if you can commit to it daily, but you simply cannot expect to see results if you are habitually overeating highly caloric/low nutritional value foods and do not change those habits.
If the reason to vote for Biden is that he isn’t Trump, why shouldn’t the dems run a candidate that both isn’t Trump and is most likely going to hold onto their mental competence into next year? Either way, they’re going to get the “not Trump” vote which by your reasoning should still cover the vast majority of would-be Biden voters.
