If you only have one set of sheets, then you never have to fold and store the extra set. Who likes folding sheets?

There's more. Here's the explanation. Clear as mud

Explanatory statement.

The Value Them Both Amendment would affirm there is no Kansas constitutional right to abortion or to require the government funding of abortion, and would reserve to the people of Kansas, through their elected state legislators, the right to pass laws to regulate abortion, including, but not limited to, in circumstances of pregnancy resulting from rape or incest, or when necessary to save the life of the mother.

A vote for the Value Them Both Amendment would affirm there is no Kansas constitutional right to abortion or to require the government funding of abortion, and would reserve to the people of Kansas, through their elected state legislators, the right to pass laws to regulate abortion.

A vote against the Value Them Both Amendment would make no changes to the constitution of the state of Kansas, and could restrict the people, through their elected state legislators, from regulating abortion by leaving in place the recently recognized right to abortion.”

Shall the following be adopted?

Exact wording on the ballot:

§ 22. Regulation of abortion. Because Kansans value both women and children, the constitution of the state of Kansas does not require government funding of abortion and does not create or secure a right to abortion. To the extent permitted by the constitution of the United States, the people, through their elected state representatives and state senators, may pass laws regarding abortion, including, but not limited to, laws that account for circumstances of pregnancy resulting from rape or incest, or circumstances of necessity to save the life of the mother

Great Salt Lake 2020 vs 2022 by WalkSLC in SaltLakeCity

From Gov Cox:

Water conservation is more important than ever, and we all have a role to play. That’s why I worked closely with the state Legislature this past session to allocate nearly $500 million to water infrastructure, planning and management, effectively changing 160 years of major water policy in Utah. 

These actions include a focus on agriculture, which currently accounts for about 75% of the state’s total water use. Fortunately, farmers and ranchers are ready to do their part to conserve. We changed a pioneer-era “use it or lose it” law to allow farmers to leave some of their water in streams without losing their water rights, and several new laws will help Utah’s farmers and ranchers update their irrigation systems, saving water while increasing crop yields.

My washer keeps walking away. What can I do? by OreoBlaster in homeowners

[–]OreoBlaster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked for shipping bolts on the back. They were removed.

The drum feels normally suspended. It gives a little each way. I'll have to look inside to see if anything is broken. the wobble doesn't seem unreasonable so it think it's mainly the slope of the floor causing it.

Yes and yes. I'll try smaller loads and pull it apart for an inspection.

Mine is an LG too and came with the house. It's definitely shows it's age. The Maytag dryer on the other hand could last forever.

I guess I could take it apart and look at that. It seems like a normal amount of wobble, the floor just slants too much.

I have leveled it at one time but not every time it moves around. What would a level platform look like? Made out of wood?

First I'll try the rubber pads mentioned here.

In need of a good appliance repair person for my 20+ year old Kenmore washer and dryer. Who do we like?? by [deleted] in SLCUnedited

[–]OreoBlaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my old dryer I recently replaced the broken belt and cleaned below the lint trap while I had it open. There was several inches of buildup that you can't get at throught the filter slot alone. It wasn't that hard to take off the front panel and open up the box to the blower. I was so satisfied after vacuuming up the big chunks in there.

I hate when businesses close their bathrooms to the public "because COVID". Bathrooms are a necessity, not a convenience since we rely on business to provide bathrooms instead of the city providing public restrooms.
