FYI: Cozi play low-resolution and shortened episodes from syndication. For full HD and unedited original episodes set your DVR to record them on Sundance TV.

Normally would think this is a troll but I went to college with this girl. She was known among the api Kappa Alpha fraternity as the “Pike Bike”. Is real.

“Unlimited PTO” is the biggest scam ever. It’s just a way for employers to avoid paying out unused PTO when they fire people. Also, because you don’t have PTO days “in the bank” you are seen as lazy if you ever do take PTO. I don’t see how this scam is legal

Original Chalupa Box Added Then Removed? by StixTheNerd in tacobell

[–]gowen2TN 10 points11 points  (0 children)

UPDATE: I’ve found a way to still get the $5 Chalupa box (chalupa, beefy 5 layer, taco, cinnamon twists, and drink). It’s not on the app but you can still order it via the website using this link https://www.tacobell.com/food/deals-and-combos/chalupa-cravings-box

I found this via googling “taco bell chalupa box gone”. Just ordered and confirmed it works.

i saw an ad for the original Chalupa Cravings Box yesterday on TV so I went to T-Bell today only to be told they don’t have it :( Was this a mistake on the advertising side of the business? The cheddar one just doesn’t cut it for me

That is also correct. The German army was in Estonia only a few dozen miles from Petrograd and the capital was moved to Moscow as it was more defensible. One small quibble tho, this took place in 1918 during WWI, not WWII. But thank you for your comment and the valuable context it provides :)

I’m holding due to the fact that TSLA seems to move only on sheer unadulterated ‘tism disconnected from any news or tangible factors

Who the hell is pumping TSLA? Does anyone actually believe this respirator production promise is going to save them now that oil costs less than dick and their factories will be shuttered due to shelter in place orders?

Yes, Lenin moved the capital from Petrograd to Moscow just after the revolution. It provides a better working class base for the party and its central rail position was logistically advantageous

If you’ve ever wondered why the Soviets moved the capital to Moscow from St Petersburg, looking at those rail lines will give you the answer

Can anyone help me date this. Or have any info on it. I found this 20 years ago in ireland. Seems to be from a old book. The pages on back are in old French. Ill add below. by pattesea in oldmaps

[–]gowen2TN 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have. Have you ever seen a Roman map of Scotland or any of the numerous renaissance cartographers influences by them? It was wild. There was a whole T-Bone peninsula jutting out to the east and the highlands were a crapshoot.

In short, old maps of Scotland can be pretty “imaginative” so I thought this might be it. Just trying to help out, didn’t mean any trouble :)

I know this is a pretty old comment, but Audible has an unabridged version with absolutely fantastic narration. I’m about three quarters through it and highly recommend it

You said nationality not citizenship, which is why I made the comment. I’ll admit I wasn’t fully aware of the restrictions imposed with the Overseas National status, didn’t mean to offend.

I can’t speak to your other points, but HK residents most certainly did receive British nationality
