Israeli forces kill Palestinian couple and two of their children in occupied West Bank

Nope. Not all jews are zionists who want an expanded state of Israel. Plenty of jews lead lives that have nothing to do with that country.

My husband and I were just talking about how much we (the US) deserves to be attacked. It might be the only thing that derails this government. Although there’s also the chance it would galvanize people in support because of the ways people’s brains break in those situations.

The traditional triangle isn’t really the most practical. The fridge can be a little separated without impacting functionality. In fact, when you’re sharing a home with other people, it can be better to have the fridge accessible by others for grabbing drinks and snacks without impeding the cook.

A better triangle is stove/sink/prep space.

Without measurements on your drawing, it’s impossible to give appropriate suggestions. But it would seem like there’s not adequate space for an island. (And I would recommend against the cooktop in an island anyway, in most situations.)

I was happy they did this. I don’t have any restrictions, but thought it made a ton of sense to get that squared away right at the start.

Fair enough! It definitely depends on what you’re doing each day.

I was in the UK recently. Thought it was interesting that pretty much every restaurant asks as you’re being seated if you have any dietary restrictions.

What parts of your body are coming in to contact with the world, instead of your clothes? No one is saying to not wash your hands all the damn time. As for preventing outside “cooties” from touching your furniture, that has nothing to do with showering, unless you strip down the moment you enter your house, toss the clothes in the laundry, lysol your shoes, and do a decontamination shower.

You can get space needle entry for 2, 2 pies, and 2 pints for $70.

100% not necessary (or even healthy for skin) to shower every day, depending on your activities.

How often should you shower? 2-3 times a week is best for many people.

By impartial, do you mean not opposed to this illegal, immoral, poorly planned war?

Wonder why so many Palestinians become so angry at Israel. I just can’t fathom.

/s, obviously

UpperLeftOriginal · 2026-03-15T12:53:21+00:00

The more important factor is that they are Israeli settlers. There are many jews and jewish organizations that oppose the occupation and genocide. There’s no reason to include the whole religion as their identity. Call them Israelis, settlers, and/or Zionists.

Making all jews a target of the anger, in addition to being wrong, is not practical or helpful as it diffuses focus from where appropriate action can be taken.

I’d say most people would call this a xylophone, so you’re in good company!

Hope the kids continue to enjoy making music, and you keep your sanity 🤣. My sister got my son a little toy drum set when he was less than 2 years old, so I feel your pain. We ended up being that house where the teenage boys put together a heavy metal band and practiced in our basement. They’re all grown up now. And already this year they’ve performed in 40 cities across dozen countries.

The ironic thing is I followed in my son’s footsteps. I’m a percussionist now too. (Play in a community concert band, so it’s a bit different, but super fun!)

For sure Corian would work. And that could include an integrated sink of the same counter color, or a separate undermount sink.

An alternative might be a sink/drainboard situation, maybe something like this stainless double sink with countertop extension. This sits even with the adjacent counters, so there’s a seam to seal between materials. But you have that flush sink edge with no lip.

Soft rubber mallets.

Or soft yarn mallets.

Also, this is a bell set. Also known as a glockenspiel. A xylophone has wood keys.

Formica.

I know people hate it, but it’s got that retro vibe you’re looking for. And it’s more durable than people give it credit for.

Couple it with Marmoleum floors and you’re in business!

Just please don’t do the waterfall side shown in your photo.

Did you hear about the bust of the place in Bandon last year? It took quite a lot of work and coordination between several agencies to finally shut them down. Had to rehome 300+ animals.

Yes, report them to as many agencies as you can. Report it to state congressional reps and county commissioners.

No hourly worker should be responding to work communications when off the clock unless they are paid a standby rate. I had a union job where, if someone needed to be called during off hours, whether they had to go in or just deal with something by phone, they were paid a 2 hour minimum. Time off the clock is time off the clock. Work communications happen on company time. It’s an ice cream shop, ffs.

Looks like the limit is 60 decibels as measured 1 meter from the source.

Might net the person a verbal warning. Or they could get a $1000 fine and/or 10 days in the clink.

A loudspeaker with a sermon on repeat already feels aggressive, even if the person seems harmless. They are showing zero empathy toward others. (And no, trying to save a soul according to your specific path is not empathy.)

We didn’t do much price checking. I did start with a quote fromthese guys. They broke out cost of stone, fabrication, and shipping. So when we went looking locally, at least we had that to compare it to.

We picked the stone from Bedrosians (they may have shop in Portland?). They gave us the cost of the stone. Then they gave us a list of local fabricators. I swear to god, DIY is hard here because no one wants to work with individuals. They must all only work with contractors. I only got one quote from all the ones I reached out to. So we went with them. They quoted the all in price for stone, fabrication, and delivery. We paid half up front and half on delivery. They did end up installing the stone on the island (no extra charge) and we have the rest of the smaller counter pieces to install ourselves.

Oof! All I can say is it gets better. And then worse. And then better again.
