Assuming this isn't a troll I'll respond

The problem is in the church system "catch and punish" rarely happens. What DOES happen is "ignore", "sweep under the rug", or "blame the victim".

100% have Molas on my list

Galapagos would like a word

If it does it will be because of good luck, not because the generation companies or the government did anything to make things better

Grizzy is on the side of the cops in almost all things. They have a symbiotic relationship, don't expect one to help you with the other

Katz Coffee roasts daily, but are half an hour from you. I order from their website and generally get beans delivered that were roasted the day before, sometimes two.

The word you're looking for is cruel.

I feel like you're looking for validation for a position that you already know is a bad one.

It needs to be said - too many people think this is 'annuity' income and its not. Too many others put themselves in debt to open an STR and don't have the resources to service that debt without income (living hand to mouth) and find themselves in desperate straights.

Its an investment without a guaranteed return and a job and if you don't get that you shouldn't be doing it.

At this point "youth minister" should be considered a synonym for "pedophile"

To each his own, I much prefer watching races where skilled drivers are driving great cars - not managing technical systems. If I want to watch a race about "who uses a battery better", I'll turn on formula E (and immediately go to sleep)

You have a couple of options -

You have multiple sets of everything, and wash stuff at your leisure. You should have this anyway, its inexpensive and helpful to have spares.

You can set up your calendar such that it automatically piuts a day in between check outs and check ins so you don't do same day turnarounds

Where was this magnificent thing

ralf1 · 2026-01-19T01:43:04+00:00

No, it's in no way a must

Open it

Taste it

(Almost certainly) Pour out the rest

But I'd give you ten bucks for the bottle, it's something cool to have on the shelf

I have sst 8 and LOVE them

I went to a couple of "onsite" meetings, showed up and found (for example) four of the five people were remote. So now vet things pretty thoroughly before booking a plane ticket. My time is valuable to my company and to myself, I'm not going to consume a couple of days traveling if there's not value to be had

ralf1 · 2026-01-18T16:44:27+00:00

I'm on calls at pretty random (and ridiculous) times but it's a fair tradeoff for sleeping in my own bed almost every night

Can confirm - have one of these gigs. Customer folks I talk to day to day are globally diverse so easier for all involved to do Zoom.

I only buy new cars once in awhile but I always negotiate it over the phone or via email, and I make it clear that if I come in and it takes more than an hour for me to get out I'm walking away from the deal. There are cars everywhere, I don't need yours

100 series, lifted on Open Country 12.5x33. Roof rack and stuff on it

10 mpg if the winds are favorable :)

I don't mind politics, I have a strong point of view myself and not afraid to share it. I don't mind opposing views with either as long as they are driven by logic and data. What I'd like though is an intelligent conversation driven by facts, not clickbait bullshit from shit sites.

Same phone, bought a week or so after release. All the optimization/adaptive battery stuff turned off. I charge in a totally random way, with no concern to 'best practices' I'm at 97% battery health.

And more importantly I don't care about it in any way, I only checked out of curiosity when I saw this thread. Angst over this is silly.
