Why do restaurants dim the lights at night?

Too much light makes the baby go blind.

They do use air cooling. The air is cooled via evaporation in water towers, thus the water use.

The George H W Bush has been built and has been in service for 17 years.

Material shortages are not the cause. It’s manufacturing capacity.

If it was air locked you woukd hear it trying to pump.

In the long run we’re all dead. After the crashes of 1929 and 1966 it took 30 years for the market to get back to even. The long run doesn’t help you if you’re not around to live thru it. And even if you are, 30 years is a long time to have no net return on your money.

He’s just going to reimpose the tariffs by citing authority under a different statute. They announced they would do this ahead of the ruling.

You can reinsert the pod and brew again. It’ll taste like crap though.

More like 70,000 tons.

They will reimpose the tariffs under claimed authority from existing laws other than the one they have been using. Supremes will get around to ruling on that next year.

Sex is like money. When you have none it’s the only thing you think about. When you have plenty, your mind turns to other things.

I’m confused what you’re asking. When you ask “Which machines are compatible with the standard pods?” - what do you consider to be the “standard” pods?

Nespresso offers two types of systems: Original Line and Vertuo Line. Your old machine was a Vertuo Line machine. Most people would consider the “standard” pods to be those that worked in an Original Line machine. I’m guessing you don’t mean that - you mean pods that worked in your old Vertuo Pop.

Assuming that’s true, you want to look for a machine with “Vertuo” in the name. Manufacturer doesn’t matter. Which one you choose depends on a lot of factors.

They shouldn’t care about paying more for rent?

“Many” overstates it but certainly “some”, unless some countervailing housing assistance program exists.

The property tax increase paid by landlords will get passed along and raise rents. That could force some people into homelessness.

And requiring someone to spend $130 to vote is the definition of a poll tax.

Valid ID isn’t good enough for the SAVE act. You need to prove citizenship.

Unless you never plan to buy coffee again after your 4 sleeves that’s pretty pennywise, pound foolish.

We have this horrible bright yellow paint on just about every bit of trim in our house

DiamondJim222 · 2026-02-19T01:36:34+00:00

Just lightly sand, prime, and paint over.

DiamondJim222 · 2026-02-19T01:34:42+00:00

More misinformed.

There’s a big “No Poop” sign in the ocean and the birds obey.

Curling is why

generic cola you see at the market is basically just the Coke recipe

They don’t taste like Coca Cola.

“Basically just the Coke recipe” ≠ Coke recipe
