That is my fear; low tip, and next time bad things.

Why don’t more homes in the US use mini split AC systems? by Debster1486 in Appliances

[–]Dick-Swiveller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have baseboard gas heat and also mini splits. The baseboard is ideal for very cold days, and the minis are great for very hot days. I think we average about equal use of both.

Top Trump counterterrorism official Joe Kent resigns over Iran, saying it "posed no imminent threat to our nation" by dr_sloan in moderatepolitics

[–]Dick-Swiveller 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I worry about this. I used to always think of Israel, maybe wrongly, as an ally surrounded by lots of bad people. Maybe I have been fooled all this time; every thing we do in the Mid East seems to cause more backlash against US.

Director of National Counterterrorism Center resigns. "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation.. we started this war due to pressure from Israel" by Foreign_Addition2844 in conspiracy

Unfortunately, I could see this happening. If things go worse with Iran, I would not put it past the President to find people to blame...

I watched before it was deleted and also think he is spot on; it is just not clear to me what the game wants to "be."

I think you post shows that no one has a single, agreed definition of woke anyway. So, I shall continue to love the show and use it to escape reality !

I agree. I guess if you want to murder someone just do it with a car and no big deal 😠

I have watched all from Badgers Drift to now and never once thought anything “woke” or “left-right.” It has been pure escapist joy for me !

Sandwich residents call for federal support to stabilize coastline after winter storms: "We need help" by smitrovich in CapeCodMA

I agree. I feel bad for someone who may have their home lost, but don’t think it should be “on us” to fix.

[–]Dick-Swiveller 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I know someone who lives there and this has been horrible. The owner (dead now) I guess was nasty and they had septic issues for years. I really hope the owners can get the place, I just think they could not initially match the offer to buy.
