I feel like he should attempt to order that to see if anyone is willing to carry it out, for no other reason than to see if they're willing to do the same when Trump orders it.

Lumber is the main reason I miss my small 90s truck. Lumber delivery is $75 to $100 depending on which place you order from. That’s fine for big jobs but I often just need a few boards or a sheet of plywood. Places like Lowe’s have truck rentals but then you have to make two trips back and forth. If I do place a delivery order I have to buy lumber for multiple projects and buy in excess of what I need just to be sure I’ll have enough.

I also don’t have trash pickup here and loading trash into a truck bed is much nicer than putting it into the trunk with potential smell and leakage issues.

Lead 204 is entirely primordial and the other isotopes found on earth would be found at roughly the same concentration were all of the lead on earth primordial. It's the excess ratios of the other isotopes of lead that can be attributed to radioactive decay. That is a substantial proportion of the lead on earth, but to say the "existence of lead" is proof of the age of the earth is entirely incorrect.

Price tracking systems like Keepa and CamelCamelCamel wouldn't work if they started doing this. I can verify that, when I get alerts, the price on Amazon is the same as the alert price.

They should trade China all the cigars and rum they want for enough cheap solar and batteries to power the island.

It's been 12 years now. Yes, only mammal meat causes a reaction, with fattier cuts causing a stronger reaction. I did have a reaction Gruyere once though.

It has weakened over time, but if I eat a large amount of red meat, such as a steak, I'll have a reaction.

I have this. Had a lone-star tick on my right shoulder blade and didn't notice until it started itching. The wound site took over a year to heal and would still randomly itch for a decade. Took me forever to figure out what was causing the allergic reactions because there's a 3+ hour delay before you experience symptoms.

The photo the DPRK released showed a fairly small drone with a triangular shape. It doesn’t look sufficiently large to fly all the way from the ROK to Pyongyang, drop some leaflets and return to the south, meaning they should have been able to recover the crashed drone. Also, if it were a civilian group, they usually take credit for the balloons they send and none have said anything about sending a drone to the north. It really seems like something might be going on internally and the DPRK is trying to blame whatever is happening on outside agitation.

I'm kinda curious about the effects of proanthocyanidins on fecal flora.
