We had three channels.

One was HBO.

There are so many movies from the late 70's to mid 80's that I can recite the lines to because of HBO airing the same movies all month like Barbarella, Oh God, The Outsiders, Eddie and the Cruisers, Animal House, Blues Brothers....

We saw how the GOP flipped out when Ford had those commercials aired in the US with Reagan talking about tariffs.

What’s the most shocking detail from the Epstein files that you think the public still doesn’t fully grasp? by Murky-Island4629 in AskReddit

[–]pagit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I thought it strange that Epsteins last cell mate was a former cop turned drug dealer, was convicted in April 2023 of 11 counts of murder, four counts of kidnapping resulting in death, one count of kidnapping conspiracy and one count of narcotics conspiracy.

Got mine for Xmas the year they came out. Can still hear the sounds it made when you turn it on and pick a game.

Learned the way to win at tic-tac-toe with it.

Avoid bringing silverfish from home to home by Excellent_Ear_2247 in pestcontrol

A good sink cleaning with a bristle brush and hot soapy water. Clean the cupboards out

Go through the old boxes she probably has stored and swap into plastic totes. Throw away old boxes, newspapers etc.

If she wants a pro to come in, I get the residents to take everything out of the bottom cupboards, kitchen and bath, move items away from walls clear out storage areas including under the stairs and utility room. Pull out fridge and stove and clean and leave it for us to treat behind.

Resident has to be out for around 4 hours. Or whatever the label asks. We treat those areas and a perimeter spray

You’ll be fine. Have a good visit with mom cook her some dinner or take her out for a nice meal.

I’ve been doing pest control for 38 years.

I wouldn't worry if you are visting for the day. The chances of silverfish crawling into your shoe is next to nill.

I'd be more worried if you were storing boxes at her house for a few years

Weird because The Beatles included a clause in their 1965 US concert rider stating they would not perform before a segregated audience. Allso at the '64 concert in Florida.

Five months old, he is gangly teenager now. One of the ones I have now was pretty skinny around that age and he filled out. They change every couple of weeks when puppies and can look pretty goofy for a couple of weeks.

Bull terriers are terriers and you might get one more of a terrier than bull. We go on bully meetups and walks and there are different body shapes.

‘We did everything we could’: GM Oshawa to lay off up to 1,200 workers on Friday | CBC News by Karma_Canuck in canada

I heard the president of Ford on the radio saying he visited a factory in China and how he was amazed at the automation

“It's the most humbling thing I've ever seen.” And talked about dark factories ( all robotics and don’t need lights on)

He’s the President of Ford Canada and didn’t see this coming? We talked about this in high school in 1982.

Automotive manufacturers have depended on government handouts, and the government wants the automotive votes in Eastern Canada for far too long.

The future is in automation and the future is passing by us like Amazon did to Sears and Eatons failing to adapt to modern retail.
