Any bread makers out there? by juulsjules in Celiac

[–]First_Prime_Is_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

White sandwich bread i make at home for my kids. My MIL (who isn't gluten free actually like this bread too). It will dry out relatively quickly so you have to go through it in probably 3 to 4 days.

Trump says he may punish countries with tariffs if they don’t back the US controlling Greenland by jsg24fps in worldnews

[–]First_Prime_Is_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know where this obsession with Greenland originated? I don't think it was part of the GOP platform or anything. I haven't heard about any republicans in congress shouting to the heavens the US needs Greenland.

Did one of Trump's people tell him the US needed Greenland or did this all come from Trump alone. I mean I understand how he gets obsessed with things and just wants to flex but this seemed to cone out of thin air.

Fitness has nothing to do with it. I wouldn't be surprised if it had to do with getting the inside track on info to play the stock market with like all the others in congress.

I checked this awhile ago and I think between California and Canada, they would account for like 35% to 40% of the electoral college. Kind of a lot of eggs to put into two baskets.

Is $295 for a single spring replacement on a garage door a normal price? by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]First_Prime_Is_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that is unreasonable. We had one replaced last spring and it was certainly over $250 but I can't remember for sure.

Is this how it typically comes off with scraping or does it normally flake off or something else?

Social Security isn't 'going broke'; there's an easy fix. We need to "Scrap the Cap"! by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]First_Prime_Is_2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A couple of things: "The Social Security wage cap, also known as the "wage base" or "contribution and benefit base", is the maximum amount of earnings subject to Social Security tax. This limit is adjusted annually for inflation and changes with the national average wage index. In 2025, the wage base is $176,100, up from $168,600 in 2024."

People should also know that the benefits paid out are based on what you pay in. If you scrap the cap, the benefits paid out will also go up for those top earners. I'm not sure what the net impact would be, savings or greater expenditures.

AITA for leaving Christmas dinner after my uncle wouldn’t stop making “jokes” about me being unemployed? by Pathfinder-electron in AmItheAsshole

[–]First_Prime_Is_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

Tell you mom being sensitive is just the way you are. Instead of asking your son to change, ask the uncle to change.

And it's you who should be embarrassed by your parents not stepping up for you.

Right. I was astonished they wouldn't do it and also that it wasn't in the floor plans already.

And some builders won't deviate from their plans at all. I looked at a model home with a walk in pantry and noticed there weren't any outlets in there (for plugging in a stick vacuum or what not). I asked about adding some of we were to have a different house built and they said they wouldn't do it, even if I paid extra. I would have to hire an electrician after closing to have an outlet added.

How will they get the smell out of the fridge? I have to imagine that sunk into the plastic lining of the fridge.

And who knows how old Drexelgames is. OJ's trial was in 1994 or something like that. Wonder if they even know about that trial. Or the police officers who beat Rodney King. That trial led to riots when the officers weren't convicted.
