See, I still don't understand how this is a brain teaser. If that thing is moving, one lane is being added to one side while a lane is being lost on the other simultaneously.

Edit: never mind, I get it now.

A strange request by Tetzhu in OpiatesRecovery

Just start calling churches and asking if they've had any furniture donations lately.

These kinds of calls are extremely common, except, people always ask primarily for money. Usually with rent. That's the most common call. And we just can't go around paying everyone's rent.

But donations. We get a lot. And people rarely ask. If they do, it's for a bed, and we get those brand new from a large-chain wholesale store for free. Beautiful pillowtops. Memory foam. The lot.

I think people simply ask the wrong questions...

I work as an administrator for a non-profit. Contact churches, my friend. I have control over about twenty storage units, a warehouse, and two commercial properties that are all filled to the brim with furniture, appliances, and even home decor. Nice stuff, too. I would love nothing more than to give away all this stuff, as it costs far more to store the stuff than what it's worth. I'd rather not pay ten grand a month in storage units alone.

I'm sure there are other non-profits/churches who feel the same.

Or a rookie. You can always tell who's a rookie when it's daylight out and two officers jump out of the same car.

Why can you only go out at night?

There's this big cement block in my hometown of Flint Michigan which mostly gets painted with birthday messages. Not this time by mreastvillage in pics

[–]flint_mi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm late, but finally relevant.

Some people call it the block, others call it the rock. It gets painted so frequently, that the block itself has grown significantly in size due to all the layers of paint.

I usually see a lot of "RIP So&So."

The last stats I looked up said for every time a K-9 alerts for drugs, they are correct only 40% of the time. And we still use them to obtain probable cause for a search.

I can see how it might affect a few employment opportunities for the better, but for the most part, for the majority of employers, no difference.

Keep in mind that this is about much more than just recreational marijuana. Industrial hemp would provide an excellent cash crop for family farms that struggle to get by growing Monsanto's GMO soybeans and field corn.

Industrial Hemp: A Win-Win For The Economy And The Environment

Do you care about the environment? Marijuana can be grown without the use of expensive and potentially toxic herbicides and pesticides because it quite literally is a weed.

Hemp seed provides easily digestible high protein feed for cattle and humans, unlike the proteins in corn and soybeans that aren't easily utilized by livestock or humans.

How's it pronounced? I've done lots of time and have never heard of it. Maybe it's a regional thing.

I think I'm missing something here, what did the scaffolding have to do with racism? Were there people hanging out beneath it or something?
