No, they were (presumably instructed to be) really weird about orders, after they changed the menu. There's a subway at work, I go 1-2/week, had been the same staff for long over a year when it happened. I asked for some chicken sub with a different cheese than the one on the menu, or something to that effect; was told I needed to get the 'build your own' to substitute.
After that silly nonsense, I realized you could do whatever customizations you want when ordering in the app +use coupon codes repeatedly.

Where do you think illegally acquired firearms are sourced from?

PDF: ATF NFCTA vol2 part3, Crime Guns Recovered and Traced
ATF traced 70.2% (1 million firearms) of submitted 'crime guns' to having originally been purchased from a dealer. An additional 22.6% (⅓ million) were from pawnbrokes. [page 7]
In 12.2% of the cases [page 26] purchaser and possessor was the same.
One or more guns are stolen in 63% of household burglaries.

From conclusion page 41:

Traced crime guns typically originate from the legal supply chain of manufacture (or import), distribution, and retail sale. Crime guns may change hands a number of times after that first retail sale, and some of those transactions may be a theft or violate one or more regulations on firearm commerce.

Smaller kids still love playgrounds, even if they also want/love screentime. Heck, it is not infrequent there are a group of younger teenagers at the playgrounds we frequent.

There's a lot of bullshit in zoning to begin with. Why exactly can't we have mixed commercial and residential areas in suburbia? Slap some apartments on top of grocery stores, bakeries/restaurants, and shops; or is forbidden to have much of anything within walking distance of homes?

I saw some studies indicating diphenhydramine/Benadryl can reduce long Covid symptoms. Can try and dig them up again if you're interested, although the stellate ganglion block sounds a lot more effective.

Yeah, I loved that floss! Right up until I found it's so good because it's coated in Teflon.

Most TVs seem to default to playing the surround audio track, which is a terrible idea when you only have stereo speakers, but I guess the TVs do it in case you decide to hook up a multi speaker system mid movie?? Choosing the down mixed stereo audio instead, makes for a much better experience for most people.

Lazy Chicken

  1. Pour about a centimeter white rice in a baking dish. I prefer something a 20x30cm tempered glass one, but I'm sure you can use whatever.
  2. Add frozen vegetables on top.
  3. Dissolve a chicken broth cube hot or boiling water, pour into dish, add water to a bit above the rice.
  4. Place frozen chicken legs on top, or whatever other frozen chicken pieces you'd like.
  5. Generously season chicken.
  6. Stick in oven for about an hour at 200°C.

You might need to add boiling water while it's cooking, but after making it a couple times you'll know about how much water is needed from the start.

The US already overall spends more than enough on healthcare, to fund universal care for everyone. But that fat inflated money pool, needs to pay for a ton of wasteful expenses that have nothing to do with healthcare (billing, insurance sales, people who bounce documents and phone calls back & forth to the insurance companies; and of course profit extraction).

Tax the rich to pay for infrastructure, green energy projects, UBI or other help to the poorest & working poor ...heck even throwing billions at fusion energy research, will create a lot more economic activity and be money better spent; than letting the psychopathic wealth hording dragons keep their missions of gold.

Agreed, and personally I would much rather work smaller nicely renovated jail cells, than a cubicle hellscape.

Do not store your dirty underwear hermetically sealed! Stick it in a mesh or paper bag, something it can release the pent up humidity through; or you'll get some really nasty laundry.

For Pokemon trainers, I'm no expert, but wouldn't they just stick their clean clothes in one poke'ball & dirty laundry in another?
