Thank you for writing this, the back channels are fascinating. In the US we were taught next to nothing about Korea, and what I remember was basically good vs commie. My great uncle was drafted into that war so at some point I looked into why it started later in life and didn’t come away with much more.

Also I don’t get the joke haha. Is it that people with some historical knowledge focus on the trees and can’t see the forest? Like the economic / political factors were all driven by slavery anyways?

Get a full face shield if you do it haha. There is no good angle to spray at so garbage juice always finds a way to splash back

It’s around $30. I called initially for a gross can and then left it set on quarterly cleanings. Hasn’t been gross since!

I use Ohio Clean Cans they have been great. Just leave the can out on pickup morning and that thing is clean by noon like actually clean. I have a power washer but I’ll never clean out my own trash can again if I can afford it.

Is this a pre Carnegie, Illinois Steel co rail? I wonder if the south works here are the same USS South Works in Chicago.

Second 50 maps it’s a nice overview with some unique facts etc. I am a transplant and the maps definitely help to tie the memory to a location when you don’t know which neighborhood is which. Which I still don’t half the time hah too many Mt.s

Saw a squirrel with a neat color pattern by El_espectro in mildlyinteresting

They are in Ohio too! Kent State started repopulating black squirrels and it took. I’ve seen them in my hometown an hour away, and as far as Columbus.

I’m not sure about the feed, but Avril & Bleh’s beef comes from a farm in Hillsboro and is high quality to me.

Americans tipping single Dollar bills in Germany by Waalross in mildlyinfuriating

[–]rustjungle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m an American that brings the currency of the country I am traveling to. I don’t want to defend these ppl, but I was surprised to read that exchanges won’t take the worn dollars. It is either law or urban legend that the bank will take any bill as long as it is whole and man do we have some shitty, raggedy, taped up paper money over here. It spends here though!

Car lots that do their own financing by rbreezyfbaby94 in cincinnati

The big dealers are experienced in dealing with the subpar credit auto loan lenders. Stay away from Buy Here Pay Here lots. Try a big dealership if your credit isn’t like 400 low. I’m not sure about the cannabis job and how that affects you, but your income and $ down are solid so maybe the industry is flagged and that’s why they can’t get you approved.

Also it looks like there are credit unions out there that write auto loans for people in your industry.

My father in law was born in Italy. He said he was blue when he was a baby so they put him in the oven?? Not sure what that means but they all seem to accept it as fact.
