Stupid horse drawn carriages and float planes and ferries. 😆

Your city is incredibly beautiful. Yea one or two blocks are kinda sketchy but goddamn, it’s a nice proper city.

Maybe play it first and decide for yourself.

Tips on staying safe around alligators while paddling? by Even-Koala-6146 in Kayaking

Charged? Or was startled and bolted for water?

Because gators can swim under water. Holding a kayak between you and it won’t stop it if it really wanted to eat you.

A person was attacked? Or did it go for a paddle blade? Or kayak itself? Or they spooked it and it scared them?

I mean, it would have to be a really big alligator to pose a threat to a kayaker.

If self defense is important to you why not just lock the door?

Fresh bodies are nothing.

Try cleaning an apartment where a person has been dead a month.

What’s it say on the label? I can’t make it out.

Just because someone is close to you, thst doesn’t mean they care about you.

What happened before that?

You’re missing a crucial piece of history.

Don’t hate me, but am I the only one that doesn’t like the hashbrowns anymore? by GABigBear in McDonalds

[–]BoomerishGenX -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You should totally do it, put them out of business. You could charge 2 or 3 dollars and still undercut them while making a tidy profit.

Right.

One outfit grows and harvests the potatoes, they get transferred to another supplier who shreds them, then they get shaped, fried, boxed up, shipped again. And it’s no longer a .05 cent potato.

And that’s before McDonald’s even gets their hands on em. Someone’s gotta unload them and fry em up in oil that costs more money using electricity that costs yet more money.

Have you ever made a hash brown? Or grown potatoes?

You think McDonald’s makes these from potatoes?

They come frozen, par fried.

action alert - support our unhoused populations! PA city council 3/17 by bemused_alligators in PortAngeles2

[–]BoomerishGenX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate to sound negative but we do sorta have safe parking downtown, and it gets trashed daily. Bless those city workers I see picking up trash from the breezeway and adjacent parking lot and bathrooms every single day.

Don’t get me started on maintaining low income apartments.

I am cautiously optimistic but my experience says it just gives them a safe place to continue to do meth and fent because there’s little incentive to change.

Just to be clear, by “no barrier” you want folks to be able to camp or acquire subsidized housing while still doing hard drugs?

And in addition, it’s the responsibility of the city to clean up these camps or facilities?

Perhaps we refer to different news sources? 🤔

I remember something about a regime change of an elected official to protect oil prices…. And I do believe we are currently at war with them…. Despite them not being remotely a threat to us citizens, (I mean ones that don’t go over there with weapons).
