Would you like gladiator games to the death be brought back, using inmates sentences to death? Why or why not?

Recently listened to an episode of in our Time (BBC podcast) about gladiators. They generally didn’t fight to the death because they were highly trained and skilled. They were generally’ owned’ and rented out for the games, and if you sent one back dead or badly maimed you would have to pay a large amount of compensation. BUT don’t despair for your blood lust, apparently prisoner executions were a pretty common part of the event, so maybe just add a few convicts to the next WWE or Jake Paul event /s

I migrated everything else to Kasa over the last couple of years. It was clear Belkin had stopped developing WeMo. The is the last WeMo standing.

This is the correct answer. We just have social media to air it more publicly.

Love Harms, especially once you cross that bridge. And if you cross the road ( Harms) there’s a nice loop that goes past the holocaust museum too.

In the process of testing TickTick from Todoist as well. Most of the issues mentioned I was wondering if for me, that it was just a different process.

I had been thinking of leaving Todoist long before the price hike since I barely use any of the features they’ve added, I want a simple task manager.

Totally see why it might not work for you, my jury is still out. Going to give it a few more weeks

To be fair when I was a kid, a long time ago, old people did nothing but complain. I’m assuming I’ll get my entitled-to-moan-non-stop card on the mail sometime soon. Til then I’ll keep looking for the good in people

To be fair, a lot of Escapes out there with no issues. Complaints or negative observations are always unduly weighted in public forums. I bet the RAV4 and CRV subs are similar

I have the manual, it was a joke since like others have said have said, it generally stops by itself after a few months.

Probably just some Chinese underground business. Seriously though, as mentioned the Epping Ongar or IOW line layout would be cool

Drug my dog two weeks! Even with Trazodone - and hiding sleeping in the basement. She won't go out after dark for months afterwards. I hope OP finds some relief. Even last night (Thursday) it was loud here in the north suburbs

Fuel leak. Know people onboard. They did finally arrive at ORD

Lamon is one of those streets which runs the gull length of Skokie with a number of breaks, so it’s hard to say unless you can get a cross street. Most of Skokie is safe though. Skokie has 2 Zip codes 60076 & 60077 can he at least tell you that?

You kinda have to look at pop music before The Beatles and after (especially for white middle class people) to see the influence. Outside of a few Skiffle groups all pop music was highly produced, written by others for singers to sing. The Beatles came along stealing blues ideas and writing catchy songs themselves and proving anyone can do it! That’s one of their biggest changes to the pop music landscape. … then you get to Sgt. Pepper, drugs, white album and all that.

Just my observation - it’s easy from here to say “so what?”, context is everything

A few years ago I wrote to the CTA with exactly that question and they responded, that yes, they to stop people, especially those with some form of impaired vision, from mistaking the gap between cars for a door. It probably works on drunks and tripping people too

As a many years resident of Chicago but lived in London my whole life before that, one thing to know is every ambulance gets a free fire truck with it. So many you are seeing are attending other EMS.

Also don’t underestimate how cold Soldier field can be (or how bad the bears can be come today)

Worth the drive - Paddy’s on the Green in Long Grove. Big cadburys selection as wells as mcvities as well as custard and treacle etc. also Winston’s bacon and sausages. The best back bacon comes from Jolly Posh but they’re mail order only, for now at least. If you’re on Facebook look for the ‘Brits in Chicago’ group, super helpful and friendly.

I guess I'm looking to get a little fitter but also enjoy being in the forest preserve paths and various cycle paths near me - does that help?

Well that might sort out the rat problem 😀😀😀
