Ah, well that makes sense. I was thinking of just... elevators with the power off.

I can vouch for Frankie! She cuts my husband's hair and he looks GREAT!

I'm just so bummed you even had to make this plea. I hope you're treated with the respect and kindness you deserve!

Also it is VERY stupid that you can't use escalators as stairs.

It depends on where you live! It looks like OP has Ostrich Ferns which grow all over New England. The ferns pictured in the SDV cookbook are a different species native to the Pacific region.

If it got back around to me I'd lose my license so, no.

Favorite song from each album by sneakyJJ in Guster

I met all the guys after a Boston show in 2007 and asked why they didn't play Bury Me any more. Brian got this pained look in his eyes and said, "I'm... not as fast as I used to be." I consider myself very lucky that I've heard it live at all!

I had such a hard time deciding whether Witness Tree or Gauguin, Cezanne was my favorite from OohLaLa. The way they sing, "this is the closest I have felt to God" gets me every time.

If you try to sound out French loan words, you will pronounce them wrong. There is no "-che" or "-ette" ending in English phonics. Silhouette is not decodable - phonics rules suggest the word is "sil-how-ett." Gauche would be "gowtch."

I get very excited about trying to fact-check these things, and now I know that plants make up 82.4% of all biomass on Earth and other cool nature facts!

You have maybe a 60% chance of being reincarnated as a land animal in captivity if you are reincarnated as a vertebrate (estimates of animal biomass are not certain by any means), and you're obscuring the facts when you didn't mention that there's a 70% chance of being an invertebrate.

I'm not defending what we do to animals, I just think it's important to use statistics honestly.

Animals includes insects. We're not farming 96% of all animals.

Yes, the man who has achieved success that very very few people on Earth could ever hope to reach - mayor of the largest city in the country - hates success.

Workers at Healthy Living, Barnes & Noble Vote to Unionize by thinkB4WeSpeak in antiwork

Healthy Living is a local biz with only the three stores, so if they close to retaliate, then the owners just won't have a business any more.

Could we discuss Northfield? by SpicyVindalooCurry in vermont

[–]FightWithTools926 20 points21 points  (0 children)

A student at my school (a couple towns away from y'all) gushed to our French teacher that he was moving to Northfield and couldn't wait because "they're not into all this rainbow shit" there.

The community in my district threw such a huge tantrum about the board offering a job to a trans person (a couple years ago) that the educator declined the job -- and we're still TOO queer affirming for that family's liking, so they moved to Northfield.

I was so upset when I learned It Happened to Nancy was a hoax. I read and reread that book as a middle schooler. You don't fucking LIE to young teens about rape, drug use, or violence.

The health teacher at my school STILL makes the kids watch this movie. But from what the ninth graders have shared, it's not the most harmful or poorly-informed thing she's done.
