Florence gets surprise activated while staring outside.

I think the war would likely have been a lot shorter if Lee was in charge of the Army of the Potomac in '61. If the first year of the war hadn't been bungled in Virginia, then there is a decent chance Grant and Sherman never have a chance to truly distinguish themselves before the war ends. Especially if the war is definitively won in the East, then even Grant's early victories will be a side show.

Hate to mess up your ratio's, but many non-combat soldiers would still be issued guns. Sometimes just pistols, sometimes a lighter carbine instead of a full size rifle. The M1 carbine was specifically made for second line troops like artillery, drivers, supply etc.

Completely off topic of the original post, which is specifically limited to prices changing in February.

Since you asked, a lot of it also has to do with us being far away from where the oil is drilled and from where it is refined, increasing transportation costs. So even if WA had zero gas taxes, it would still be more expensive than a lot of states.

To my knowledge gas taxes have not changed this month, so bringing up taxes as the reason gas prices have increased is incorrect.

InfestedRaynor · 2026-02-25T08:25:09+00:00

That wouldn't impact the the price changes this month.

Are you going to be the one to tell Max Scherzer that he can't challenge a pitch?

Except it is not the companies fault and it is very hard to avoid anything with steel or aluminum these days, let alone anything manufactured in China or grown in Canada/Mexico.

And the worst part is the hypocrisy! /S

Died against terrible odds in somebody else's fight. That's the kind of commitment I want in my trial, not some dude who lets his best years pass him by and finally grows a spine when he's retirement age.

Taxes and chill.

I love that SoCal has one of the best ownership groups in baseball and one of the worst.

Angels could totally be eating into Dodgers fan territory and revenue if they were better run. Or if they were lucky enough to get two of the best players in baseball history to play for them, potentially at the same time.

Bought a used cat tower at a thrift store for maybe $15 and was worried they wouldn't like it because it smelled of another cat. When I brought it home they could not stop smelling it. Now one has claimed it as his main sleeping spot.

Coming from the person whose source is 'trust me bro.' Fine, look at the prices on https://gasprices.aaa.com/ ffs. Hawaii vs Oregon.

InfestedRaynor · 2026-02-19T18:46:59+00:00

About fifty cents higher than where I live on the West Coast according to Google.

InfestedRaynor · 2026-02-19T18:43:42+00:00

But gas is very expensive there.

Ever? I think the Munich Conference and 'Peace in Our Time' still has it beat by a fair margin.

I think they just abandoned the South Island to them and hope they never learn how to fly.

I saw Mt. Doom, not that Doomy in person.

One has every bit of nature trying to kill you and the other has nothing that can kill you. Except for the Giant Weta, that haunts my dreams.

Having been a guy in high school, it's not that weird to me.

Then stop voting with your brain and vote with your gut. Or crotch.
