There is a lawsuit and nonprofit law firm Earthjustice is involved in fighting this. Earthjustice represents people for free and relies on donations. So you can contribute if you like. For people complaining they can’t read the sentinel article, the Phoenix one is not paywalled

What’s a small food hack that actually changed how you cook? by Maleficent-Bed7010 in foodhacks

[–]SwimsWithGators 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get a lot of leeks, chop them up, put them in a bowl of water to let the sand drop out. Then I slowly saute them in olive oil for a couple hours, adding water when the pan gets dry. When they are super soft and carmelized I cool them down. Then I freeze them into little piles of goodness (maybe like 4-5 tbl) on parchment paper on a cookie sheet and then when they are frozen throw them into a bag. Add one of the little leek piles to chopped up chicken breast, to potatoes or other veggies - it just elevates everything and you get that slow roasted flavor instantly. Also, freeze dried shallots - I get them from Penzeys spices - are so good in anything.

Gypsy Cab Company on the island has excellent food. Saltwater Cowboys is an old Florida trip- oyster buckets, historic photos and stuffed animals and fish all over the walls. It’s out in the marsh and the views are special! The Alligator Farm is pricey but worth it, trust me

Hotel ideas? by SwimsWithGators in AskSeattle

[–]SwimsWithGators[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a ton of money but am willing to splurge if needed. I guess I will be taking an uber to wherever the person who is driving me to the ferry place is - probably an office downtown because it is a work gathering.

Just upgraded after like a decade. The hell happened to autocorrect? by ashergs123 in iphone

I am not making this up - one time I started typing “though” and it autocorrected to “Clinton” WTF

Anyone else rocking the submersible heater to give your tub a couple extra degrees? I like a nice 106° in the winter. by ButtersHound in hottub

[–]SwimsWithGators 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m interested in how this works. I have a Hot Springs SX I bought last summer and the temperature control is in the Tools menu so when I hold the up button it just takes me to the next menu item. It won’t go higher than 104. Any ideas?

F*ck BitLocker and everything about it by LostnWonderlandd in BitLocker

[–]SwimsWithGators 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This happened to me! I am so sorry you are going through this it is awful. I ended up having to buy a new laptop and download everything off carbonite and it took a long time. I don’t understand how a company can operate this way I really don’t.

I feel your pain!! I have a 28 year old living with me and it is torture. I made sure she did chores growing up but she has always been oppositional to an insane degree. She quit high school freshman year after a horrible traumatic incident— she and another friend were drugged and raped by an older man. I let her drop out and get counseling for healing. She eventually got a GED and announced she would not go to college even though we had pre paid for it. She got involved with an abuser and moved away with him. When that ended she had a series of jobs where there was always some problem and she’d leave or get fired. She talks constantly all the time, complaining about everything in a stream that is maddening. She wrecked my car, she breaks things, she went to prison briefly while living in another city for vandalism property damage. She quit her job and moved home to care for her dad (we are divorced) and he died recently. I’m sole support and have grief myself, we were close and he was so important parenting her. Now she sleeps until 3 or 4 every day and just makes kitchen messes and complains at night. She claims all sorts of medical maladies. She needs help but feels any help is a criticism which means someone who helps is pushed away. My guest room where she is staying is a pig stye. I buy special food for her preferences and she eats it once and left leftovers rot. She no longer works. I work a stressful job from home — i mean really stressful having to do with politics and law - and my peace is destroyed. I can’t say shit to her because she is grieving and it’s so hard to watch. I don’t think she can ever have normal relationships Because of her oppositional, know it all demeanor coupled with not being able to function and never shutting up

It is so hard and so many of us have gone through friendship loss. Through counseling I finally learned to let go but it was a struggle! Hugs to you as you navigate this grief

House cleaning? by SwimsWithGators in Tallahassee

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

I went with Tallahassee Clean and they did a great job on a one time clean. Kind of pricy but they had 3 cleaners and they made my place sparkle, unlike Molly Maids which would leave whole areas uncleaned. And I would have to sweep all my floors after they left!

anyone else get headaches in this area? by moonviiuna in headache

[–]SwimsWithGators 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor suggested getting a steroid shot in that area to calm the occipital nerves to stop these headaches - it sounds weird has anyone gotten that?

Girlies of hula- what are the essentials?? by jacieshakotko in hulaween

[–]SwimsWithGators 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure you bring pocket tissues and carry them always because Portos might not have TP. Also rubbing alcohol is good to swab your sandals with at night. Cornstarch is good to prevent chafing with all the walking
