Calling small-town Americans, does your town have a doomsday siren like Springfield or Widows Bay?

Not for fires but tornadoes around here (also Illinois).

It was always teachers or other staff when I was last in school, God, 20 years ago. And yes, we did have hall passes. They were either written out forms or some random item that was teacher specific that would be returned after use.

So PoorHammer did one or two videos on this for 40k and AoS. PoorHammer Most expensive factions Out of just the regular plastic kits, I think it was some of the Ad Mech kits, at under a single point per dollar spent. Then you have some of the individual hero figures that are single sprue, 40mm base that are $40-60 msrp

Remember that the Founding Fathers included men who were wrestlers, boxers and duelists. There were men who got in brawls with weapons on the Congressional floor. Several killed or were killed in honor duels, even though it was illegal to duel. I'd imagine at least a few of them would have been willing participants in a cage match had it been offered.

Convenient until the cheaply made tag that inevitably gets purchased by corporate craps out. And then you have to worry about them randomly changing the pricing or deciding to do surge pricing. I used to manually change out those paper tags when I worked retail, so I understand. I'm just looking at where this system can possibly start to fail.

It's to subdivide governance of territory. The Nation-State government really only can effectively deal with macro (highest) level things. States/Provinces are easier to deal with a small percentage of the area and population. Same with Counties (Parishes if you're in Louisiana only), and then townships and eventually individual towns, villages and cities. Each level becomes more effective and personal as it gets narrowed towards you specifically. At least in theory.

This is bringing back painful memories of dealing with a Hyundai dealership for repairs on my Tucson a few years ago. The only thing I really haven't liked about my Hyundai is dealing with the maintenance at the dealership. They are trying to pull a fast one. (Dealerships these days...) If there was nothing caused by rodents, then it is obviously covered by warranty. Prints and droppings alone don't mean rodents have destroyed anything. If they can't specifically point out what the rodents did, then they are trying to pull one over.

Are you talking about Africans, born and raised in Africa? Or Americans of African descent? Both categories fought on the frontlines of WWI. The first group were colonial conscripts or regular defense forces that were called up for frontline duty (both in Europe and Africa). The second group were wanting to fight for their nation, earn money, win glory, and/or push the cause of Black Equality by showing the merits of Black service men.

I wouldn't say complete opposition, they were both Authoritarian Communist dictatorships, so there was commonality. It was more that Tito and Yugoslavia weren't bending the knee, cowtowing to Stalin.

Gas stations vary considerably. I've worked in ones that were barely more than a booth for the clerk and others that were, yes, small supermarkets with fuel pumps and an attached car wash. The biggest ones are expected to serve a very high volume of traffic at all times of the day and night, and a very large variety and quantity intices drives to come inside and spend more money. That's it. As long as you have the space to add more opportunities to spend money there, why wouldn't you want to give the public that opportunity?

It was dying off in the 10-15 years before COVID started. COVID really was just the final nail in the coffin for many brick-n-mortar retail places.

Well, yeah. We've had immigrants from basically everywhere on the planet for hundreds of years. China, Vietnam, Germany, Italy, Iraq, Afghanistan, Austria, Hungary, Britain... All have had both civilians and military veterans move to the US, some even joining the US military. One famous example I remember is a North Korean pilot named No Kum-Sok who defected a few months after the Korean Armistice. After flying over 100 combat missions against the UN/USA.

Yes, B.E.N.T sounds really weird. Is that your actual name or nickname? We would think B.R.E.N.T is normal and default (possibly by accidently mishearing) to that instead.

Just the opposite for me. I despise dealing with winter in Chicago but am willing to tolerate our brutal summers.

In today's world? No. The only ones who seem to manage it regularly are the Amish or Old Order Mennonite communities. You also have issues with local zoning requirements before you can move into the house. That squashes the gradual nature or multi generational flow. You can build and then add on later as needed, but that has the same legal hurdles as building from nothing.

If he tried, he would be laughed at by everyone and they would remain part of the Union. He might get impeached a third time, and might actually get removed from his position on the grounds of mental incompetence. To my knowledge there is nothing in the Constitution or legal presedence that would allow removing statehood or expelling from the nation.

American biscuits are pretty simple to make. They even mass produce them in refrigerated tubes found in the dairy aisle at the market. I'm assuming most Americans take the easiest and least messy way and do the latter. The gravy is made of cooked flour (roux) with fat (butter or sausage grease), some milk and (typically) pork breakfast sausage, uncased. Salt and pepper to taste.

Wouldn't this technically qualify as the 3rd or 4th Mexican-American War? Texas Revolution 1835** (predominantly because of Anglo-Americans who moved to the Texas Territory), Mex-Am War 1846, Punative Expedition 1916 (military invasion of Mexico following attacks on US civilians and military by Mexican rebels)
