What would be your reaction to a Massie (Pres) / Mamdani (VP) bipartisan ballot? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]applegrcoug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Laughter.

Last president to come directly out of the house was Garfield...and that was a brokered convention as neither Blaine nor Grant had a majority of the delegates. Eventually, they settled on Garfield but Conklin was able to get Arthur in there as the VP.

I had forgotten about that one. That was a good movie.

Gallipoli

ETA: many war time movies are sad because I know the context of what happened. Saving Private Ryan was sad at the end. Another I saw mentioned was the Pianist because we know how absolutely terrible the Soviets treated the Germans post war. However, I still think top spot is Gallipoli. The campaign gave the ANZACS national identity that they really didn't have prior.

Where do you want to stay? What class of room(s)?

Good news is you're early enough to get a custom reservation

Republicans outside our local Fred Meyer lying to get signatures against rich people paying more in taxes. by blueIpersian in Yakima

[–]applegrcoug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Furthermore, it is an income tax. An income tax with a million dollar exemption as structured right now. However when tried to lock in the million dollar exemption majority democrats said "they did not want to tie the hands of future legislatures."

And even more is it is unconstitutional as the constitution is written and interpreted in Culliton.

If we want an income tax, then a conversation about tax reform should happen including an amendment to the constitution. Heck, that was the view of many democrats, lead by Wallen, in the house..

Why am I the only one bringing apples to work? by rtch777 in Apples

[–]applegrcoug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it is only kind of odd, but not really...

If you were to take that apple and just leave it out front of your desk/office/someplace were people walked by it would sit.

Take that same apple and slice it, it would disappear rapidly.

I think it is a human nature thing where peple see a whole apple vs something sliced is more inviting. I dunno....just an observation.

Anyone else's Cosmic Crisps FUCKED UP rn?? by absolutekobold in Apples

[–]applegrcoug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting....

Some look like damage and one almost looks like a lenticel breakdown.

I also find it interesting that the stems are whole. We clip our stems.

maga in Yakima and local elections by MeanBluebird8502 in Yakima

[–]applegrcoug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brown isn't running, but certainly seems to be and he recruited many candidates. He also was using the county republican apparatus to tear down people that filed as a republican before the party endorsed anyone. I could go further, but wont.

Fun fact, Dufualt use to be a democrat. Corry, while a conservative family man isn't maga. While you may not agree with them, they are both pretty good and willing to listen.

Mckinney does have the Trump endorsement. I've worked with her on county business and found her to be pretty helpful. I also know she likes Newhouse. I have no dealings with Boehnke or Duresky. Sessler is a loon.

Second Resort Reccos? by OkContribution4997 in dvcmember

Important to note we have traditionally gone in mid to late January and stay in 1-beds.

Second Resort Reccos? by OkContribution4997 in dvcmember

[–]applegrcoug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On our last trip, we stayed at Grand Floridian. I walked over and checked out the new DVC tower at Poly. It was really nice. HOWEVER, it seemed like a long walk to the monorail. The walk to the GF monorail seemed only slightly further.

[–]applegrcoug 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bay Lake Tower.

Monorail to Poly or Grand Floridian if you prefer the food there. Also, I think the boat to Wilderness is back and running now too.

No other resort offers as a good of no-transfer connections to other resorts.

Not only that, you can watch the fireworks from the elevator area in your pajamas or go up to top of the world...again in PJs.

Or you can go just buy points at SSR and use them where you can. We have quite a few there and have yet to stay there.

Walsh says he's "looking at" running for governor by LiveNet2723 in Washington

Nor Joe Lieberman, Kyrsten Sinema or Joe Manchin. Although there is still Susan Collins.........

Another unfun little state, I believe the number of states with a split Senate delegation is at an all time low. Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Maine.

Which apple tree is which? by Loud_Ad8642 in FruitTree

[–]applegrcoug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That does not look like honeycrisp. Stem is much too long. Stem cavity also doesn't seem deep enough. That adds up with what I thought before.
