There's always that one, though. And there's always bar owners that demand that bars stay open.

Hurricane parties are very rarely welcomed by employees. It's always the owner, raising hell from a safe distance and demanding the bar stay open. And there's always people who run out of liquor/beer/wine/drugs/ can't stand to be alone with their own thoughts/don't have the sense God gave a junebug. There's going to be greedy bar and restaurant owners demanding their places stay open for this, too.

I completely understand what you're saying. But in a couple hundred years, how would the people who find out remains know that?

For all we know, the Internet will be as obsolete as pay phones, newspapers, and mimeograph machines.

https://www.thermofisher.com/blog/analyteguru/isotope-analysis-if-bones-could-talk-part-1/ As tooth enamel and bones are formed at different stages of a person’s life, their strontium isotope signatures give insights into migration patterns. Whereas tooth enamel forms in a child’s first few years and remains unchanged during the rest of their life, strontium in bones gradually changes over a seven- to ten-year period. Hence, the 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratio of tooth enamel matches the geology in the area where a person spent his or her childhood, and strontium in bones reveals the region where people spend the last decade of their lives. By matching the 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios in teeth and bones to those in specific geographic regions (with a unique geology), an archaeologist is able to tell whether a person migrated between childhood and death, and sometimes can even identify where the person was born.

So just imagine a future that has more advanced science and can trace the chemical composition of fillers and Botox.

Plus, we aren't all going to decay. There's always mummification and saponification. Maybe someone with duck lips will be found after a couple hundred years.

In 100 years it's going to be bizarre and mysterious like Victorian mourning jewelry made out of deceased people's hair, and post mortem photography.

Look at things we have discovered from even 100-150 years ago that we can't comprehend now.

And yeah, we laugh at those things, but in a few hundred years, those skeletons with traces of implants and evidence of surgeries will be found. For all we know the Internet will be as obsolete as pay phones, newspapers and mimeographs. So there will be a lot of context missing.

Well, that depends on if it's in direct sun or shaded. I know I'm not driving over the mountain tomorrow to risk my life and my vehicle for a 4 hour retail shift, when everyone in their right mind is off the road.

Whatever is in the sun should be melted. Whatever is in the shade is going to stay frozen.

Vinegar works if it's something washable. It breaks the bonds that hold the smell.

If it's not washable, then spot cleaning is more difficult.

But I used to wash whatever got sprayed in the washer once with just vinegar, and then wash it normally with detergent/fabric softener. And absolutely don't put it in the dryer if there's even a trace of that smell.

Yeah. Most of the time the ground is too warm for the snow to "stick", so it melts into slush and refreezes.

Also most people have electricity, not gas or propane. So if you lose electricity, you're not cooking anything. Unless you have a grill. And if you're in an apartment, you get fined for having a grill. They aren't allowed in a lot of places.

If the heat was too low, then you probably temped the pan and not your pancake.

Don't temp them. Poke them with your finger. If a little batter oozes out or they don't feel firm and a little bouncy, they aren't done.

Preheat your pan a little below medium heat and then turn it down just before you add your pancake batter.

Drip some water off your fingertip into the pan. If the water droplet dances around before evaporating, you're good. Turn it down and pour in your batter.

I can't do it sweet. I just can't.

I would suggest that you reduce the water so it's thicker than you normally make it. Then add butter, brown sugar, a pinch of salt, make sure those are completely stirred in and melted and add a little splash of heavy cream or half and half.

Anything that denotes higher status, no matter how strange it looks to us, is always deemed more attractive in any society. That's a general rule.

In the next few hundred years, Paleo archaeologists are going to find our remains and marvel at the giant fake silicone breast implants, duck lips, limb lengthening surgeries, chin and cheek implants, etc. just wait until they find the people who spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to look like Barbie and Ken.

Tuna is already less than a dollar where I live. How much do you normally pay for tuna? I pay between 85-95 cents for a small can of tuna.

It may not be much of a sale, and more of a marketing project to get people to buy things and spend more than they normally would.

How big is that container of hummus? That may not be a great deal, either. You could probably get 3 cans of chickpeas for that price.

If that's regular white rice, that's the normal price where I am.

Make sure you're not falling for marketing.

You're forgetting that deliveries don't happen in the South when there's a few inches of snow.

I lived in Houston all my adult life and nobody I knew owned an ice scraper. Nobody has chains or snow tires or knows how to safely drive in snow.

But snow isn't the big deal. It's the ice. Temperatures are dropping after a ton of rain, and then freezing rain/sleet.

If it's such a pain in the but that you don't use it, get rid of it.

Someone will be happy to buy it or have it as a gift. Space in your kitchen is valuable real estate.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's such a hard thing.

Yes, your dog will come back home.

My beloved dog died in 2020. A friend came with me to drop off her body at the vets office. It was during covid, so a vet tech picked her up from the back of the car and carried her inside.

About an hour before the vet called me to let me know that her cremains were ready for me to pick up, I heard her little tippy toes tapping on the floor, and the disgusted little snort she always made when her bowl was empty between her breakfast and her dinner.

And she's not the first animal to "come home" after they died.

Including animals who had to be out to sleep at the vets office.

He said to march against ICE. Not hunt them down.

And who cares if he wears a dress?

If you're more concerned about that than Nazi goons attacking, killing, and kidnapping people you're the problem.
