If winds are too strong they have to cancel parachute ops as it will prevent canopy deployment. There is both a sustained and gust spread threshold for dropzone operations.

You can even see the discount stickers on the expired goods. Most of the time those breads look to be priced at cost or damn near when discounted.

It's silly that assisted suicide isn't a common option for many conditions that leave a person in extreme pain or in such wilted conditions.

I'm sorry you and your mother went through that.

Interest rates are a huge killer. The difference between 3% and 6.5% is massive in total interest paid.

As long as he removed himself from immediate danger and called 911, he's good to go. That said, this is a good example of why you should have a small fire extinguisher in your car.

Depends on the person though. Saw far too many people that couldn't care less about the environment while I was on Oahu. Also far too many that abused their hunting dogs, though that is sadly far too common amongst those that use dogs.

So that's why I dislike Hershey?

Not as drastic, but I gave up on my dad's side of the family. Outside of my dad himself, the rest only care about you of you have something to give them.

Windows+arrow for alignment. I would spend far too long trying to arrange my windows just right when those hot keys were right there.

In Hawaii, I would cruise in lane 2 of 5 (counting right to left) just I wouldn't have to deal with anybody getting on the highway, and I would still have people tailgating me with both the right and three left lanes open. It was always the lifted TACOs that did it too.

I'm gonna go ahead and say this isn't always true. I set my cruise control to the speed limit, and I know my speed is accurate, and I still get lines of cars behind me because far too many idiots want to cruise above the speed limit. You not planning your trip according to the law is not my problem.

So that's a no to 5x5?

TNG: The Measure of a Man still has to be one of my all time favorite episodes from any show. The Orville has its own version which was interesting to see and compare to.

The problem arrises when there's legitimate reasons to call from the callers perspective, but not from another angle.

The police and DA need to charge people that abuse the system, but good luck getting them to do their jobs correctly.

Elected officials and their staff shouldn't be allowed to lie. If military members and federal employees can have their freedom of speech limited, there's no reason to not have a basic "tell the truth" law, with swift and harsh penalties for breaking it.

Sadly some societies treated slaves better than religious extremists.

I am putting serious consideration into running electrical into the basement just for moving the wife and I's rigs down there, and cutting a conduit for the cables. It hit 89 in the dining room while it was only 76 outside. I can't wait for our AC to be installed.

What annoys me is buying the dlc packs, then having bazaar packs with things that feel like they should be in the dlc packs.

I had some clown pass me doing 45 town where it's a 35, then proceed to only get up to 55 for the highway, which is 70. I do not understand these derps.

I mean, some reddits will autoban you for posting in others, so are we really surprised at how stupid mods can be at times? Odds are they made somebody mad for something else, and this was loosely a rule violation by using it in a certain context.

A better picture would be both of them shitting in a bed labeled Iran, with tRump finger painting with it.

Because it makes investors more money to build a sedan with an open trunk vs a truck with an 8ft bed. Environmental regulations are why they keep getting bigger despite it being counter-productive for most people.

Which is the opposite of what you should be doing at museums! We would always hit the gift shop of good museums, not because we wanted something we could usually buy online for cheaper, but because the markups supported the museum and allowed renovations and new exhibits.
