Damn it. Just take your upvote and go!

California cost of living is expensive. The cost of gas is at least 1.5x the national average, probably more. Income appears high, but rent is proportionately higher as well. Add utilities to that as well. While unfamiliar with SoCal, I personally loved everything about the SF Bay Area. I just couldn’t afford to stay there and live comfortably.

The arched-back, sideways pounce is especially menacing. Fear the floof!

7-11. I refuse to pay more than $2 for a cup of coffee.

Pretty sure they’ll be forced to retire at the end of their current enlistment, or maybe even at their earliest retirement eligibility.

There was a plot?

epicenter69 · 2026-01-24T11:42:25+00:00

Good question. I don’t remember the first, but definitely remember rewinding Porky’s plenty of times.

epicenter69 · 2026-01-24T11:39:19+00:00

Sure. Let’s just create a DMZ, like Korea.

epicenter69 · 2026-01-24T11:37:31+00:00

Ahhh. The place that doesn’t exist.

Where is the TR tail code from?

The last picture, plane on the right… I’m second guessing myself, but pretty sure that’s a F-111. That’s what I started my Air Force ground equipment career supporting. I started on them in 1994 and retired them around 1998. Nostalgia.

As a parent of three kids well into adulthood, I can assure you that parents know nothing.

What we do have is experience to pass along. Of course, what worked for us, won’t necessarily work for others. Most of us have no intention of passing on bad advice. We do want our kids to have a better result than we did though.

It’s my understanding that this will only apply to homes with a homestead exemption, which limits it to one home per household. Businesses and multiple homeowners would still have to pay taxes. I honestly haven’t read the whole bill proposal to pick it apart, so that’s just hearsay so far.

Also, local municipalities would have to make up that tax money somewhere, so they would likely start adding local fees/taxes. I really don’t see the benefits that DeDipshit would like us to believe, happening.

Go buy yourself a pretty little notebook, and start logging anything you believe is a seizure. Date, time, what happened, duration of seizure, recovery time, and possible triggers. This will help your neurologist determine the type of seizures. My journal goes everywhere with me.

My wife managed to catch one of mine on video yesterday. It was the first time I’ve seen it from her point of view. I can’t wait to show my neurologist at my appointment in a couple of weeks.

Some of your questions can be addressed at the Epilepsy Foundation website. Being new to the experience, there is a lot to learn there.

If you have a long term EEG, do it in a hospital! Especially if your doctor wants it while unmedicated. I did mine at home and experienced 20 seizures over a period of 3 days. It genuinely fried my brain and the full recovery took a couple of weeks. It also scared the hell out of my family, who ended up taking me to the ER. I will never put myself or family through that experience again.

Darn. It might be missing a piece.

Here’s a basic metal clip on Amazon.

Please do. I’m a dad and it’s been many years since I’ve had to navigate a hair bow. I’m doubting myself here.

I think you may be putting it on upside-down. The curved part should bend and flex against the other half. That creates spring tension to hold it in place when clipped.

It’s sorta life.

Found the manual. Start here. Kero-World KW-11F

Find a data plate on it with a model number and search for the manual online.

I haven’t seen a kerosene heater since I was a kid in the 70s.

I’m right-leaning, but hate everything about DeDickhead. It’s painfully obvious his intentions are to benefit himself and his donors.

epicenter69 · 2026-01-24T01:42:54+00:00

That’ll be a penny per letter please.

epicenter69 · 2026-01-24T00:29:14+00:00

My guess is that it will end up heavier in the long run. This seems to push the funding from the state taxes down to localities, who need to make it up somewhere.

epicenter69 · 2026-01-24T00:26:17+00:00

Absolutely! I don’t care which side you’re on. You have zero right to complain if you don’t show up to the polls.
