@uninspiredcup: On a side note, I appreciate an acronym that looks like it could be pronounced, "attack 'ems" on a weapon.

@horgen: If history is any guide, it's closer to, "the goal is to extract another dollar no matter who we kill."

@mrbojangles25: Ah, I was wondering how you arrived at that conclusion.

@mrbojangles25: Do you really think a war amongst these parties is preferable?

@nirgal: For what? I couldn't imagine using this thing for most of the jobs I did. Bailing hay would crush it as would shoveling rock. Laying bricks or laying shingles would be ok, but that's for more advanced crew members. Carrying loads of them wouldn't work. Field work resulted in me being soaked head to toe within a couple hours due to a combination of dew and sweat.

We're going to kill people if we withhold the basic requirements to maintain homeostasis.

@nirgal: Because the electronics would be broken within a week.

The reason water and the ability to cool off for a moment are so critical in these jobs is because they're labor intensive and you're exposed to the elements.

When I was detasseling as a kid, the first company I worked for withheld water if we didn't get through the rows fast enough. Even if you get plenty of water, you can get dehydrated and ill. I think a lot of people who haven't worked these jobs don't get it. This is evil.

It's done. Finally.

The House of Representatives has passed $60.84 Billion in aid to Ukraine.

Some Intel spooked Johnson and the following Republicans badly.

@mrbojangles25: there's no need to be upset about registering with a party. It's just an indicator of which coalition checks more of your boxes than the other one, and in some states allows you to help choose primary winners.

Almost no one 100 percent supports everything their party does. That's not what they're for.
