Well, no one voted for"Genocide Joe" because Biden was not in the election. I'm sure there were a number of people, though, who abstained from voting for Harris because she also did not represent their wishes for the situation in Palestine, though to me that feels like being a single issue voter.

I don't understand the quote or run-on sentence of yours. People should indeed try and campaign for candidates they believe align with their ideals of governance.

Imagine if it had

"Max Speed -- Haste"

I groan at yet another account situation... But I adore RGG's work, and will do anything for more Yakuza. Yakuza 3-5 remastered was the reason I even got myself a PS5. Yakuza 0 and Kiwami were the reason I got my PS4.

Five bucks says that the guy who didn't vote for Ichiro didn't hand out 10 votes, and that the snub is purely because they don't believe anyone should be unanimous.

I'm in the LA area. Glad that we're staying above freezing, especially in the wake of the fires.

But seriously, it feels like we're getting these humongous weather patterns fairly regularly now. Maybe someone should investigate what's going on with our global climate and causing these.

I'm over near the Eaton Canyon fire, and man has the day taken a turn for the worse for me. Power went down at 6:34 last night, and I'm not in an evac order zone... Just a quarter mile from an evacuation warning zone.

Spent an hour getting everything together in case I have to pack up my animals and roll out. Still no power as of 7AM.

How's everyone doing so far?

I took precautions yesterday out in Arcadia, and so far things have been fine, aside from all the dead leaves from a tree forming a humongous mound in my yard.

In my experience working with kids of all ages, from toddlers to high school students, the biggest thing is enthusiasm and energy. If you're faking enthusiasm, they can tell. If you're not excited and happy to be there, no one will be having a good time. Obviously everyone ticks differently, but you gotta make sure that it's something you want to do. Once you've decided on that, the actual interaction becomes much easier and more genuine.

I think you definitely have the right mindset, since you're looking for places to get involved. Just jump in earnestly and it'll work out.

Not sure what the public opinion is on this, but I used to volunteer with Union Rescue Mission occasionally, and through my church I've had a few chances to help out with other orgs and shelters.

There are groups that do trash pickups, especially around the hiking trails and public spaces.

It was a one-off, but my work had a volunteer service day last year where about 15 of us showed up to help out at Catholic Charities of LA over in Long Beach. We helped hand out food for lunch and pack up food bundles for the holidays.

Not sure about how available for commitment you are, but if you're good with kids and are down to really put yourself out there regularly, look into Big Brother Big Sister. It's one of those things I know can make a big change in a kid's life, but I've never had the commitment or drive to volunteer myself.

Yeah, if you read other articles by the author, it's all slop like this. Also note that the OP seems to only link articles from this site...

I haven't been active in TF2 in years, but I have 2.9k hours, all without idling for items. That game was basically another life for me, around 2010-2016. In that timespan I picked up PC gaming, got into shooters, got into TF2, joined a community, started collecting strange weapons, got my first unusual and traded it, and captained a Highlander team as Pyro.

The game was and still is amazing; I only ever stopped because it was becoming detrimental to my life and schooling. Now, when I try to play, I mourn the loss of my old community servers, get frustrated with my worse skills, and despise the number of bots I run into on Valve servers.

Community servers can still exist... They just require actual community members to hop on and play. I miss my old servers still. 80% of my friend list is still peeps from that 1 west coast community.

Anyone else feel that? Felt like 3 seconds of rumble over in the SGV.

Edit: Here's the USGS report.

 

It's a Smissmas Miracle! Cool little patch that I might reinstall TF2 to try out.

Anything in here look exciting to you?

 

I know that I really want a few more Great Henges and my first Doubling Season, because I'm a green mage at heart. Some more Heroic Interventions would be nice, too.

My Miirym deck could use a Balefire Dragon, because I've had games where my dragons just get overrun by small creatures.

Its a bit of a small want, but my Meren deck could use a Nyx Weaver.

Lastly, I just need more staples overall, as a newer brewer. I need every Arcane Signet, Command Tower, and Sol Ring I can get my hands on!

 

Hi, this sounds like a dumb question, but how should I "get into" coffee? Most of the time, I just use a Keurig and whatever pods I find at Costco. I know there's an entire world out there of people who know exactly what they're doing, but it's all quite confusing.

If I'm typically only ever making coffee for myself, what should my brewing method be? Nespresso? Pour-over? French press?

And should I be looking to try everything black, or are lattes and whatnot a good way to learn what my tastes are?
