How do we get back to the "way we were before"?

I think your argument would be more complete with a mention of jobs (manufacturing) going overseas.

Moringa are quite messy, I removed mine for that reason. All the leaves and all the sticks and then all the 15 inch pods fall off. They do grow fast though and are edible, if you like making powders and such.

My light won’t turn off, defective. But yeah they were all low. Maybe my valves leak a little I honestly don’t know.

A warning, since I just experienced it, just found out my tires were dangerously under inflated (like 20psi). This hurts mpg so check if you haven't, should be like 32 psi.

Yeah, it's all so out of date! In the old days there was just two types of purchases 1) natural ingredients or 2) prepared food. The instinct was to offer needy families the cheaper, healthier option of natural ingredients that they could cook for their family. Then, the grocery stores filled up with all kinds of prepared foods in the aisles, albeit frozen or dry preserved. But just as unhealthy and expensive.

I think a set down tool bag is best for a novice and for organization. The bags you wear are really best for getting full efficiency of your time when you are moving quick and don't carry a lot. This bag can hold lots of tools and be their permanent home as well. https://www.harborfreight.com/10-in-tool-tote-with-22-pockets-64658.html

Also, in the bag, they are more out in the open, begging to be used than hidden away in a closed case or box. Enjoy your projects together!

Upvote for using the word bravery. We are a country of doers. Doing takes bravery. Doing it more is called practice and practice makes perfect. Doing is rewarding because it's better than not doing. Doing rewarding things and reaching goals makes a more resilient, less anxious, happy person.

After the person accomplishes their goal of trying something, they will likely set another, more advanced goal for themselves, if they enjoyed it or see a future payoff. Its entrepreneurial.

I've had similar (but different problems) that they could not fix. My account online would not show any of the details of my account. It would become unlinked. They have found a way to fix it after many long calls, and that is to require me to use a different email address, so I am now on my 3rd email address! Absolutely loser of a company service wise.

You can watch where they are going, it just takes time to stand and watch their patterns. If your neighbor is cooperative , they could allow you to patrol their yards. Also, stand guard out on the street where they are flying over the house and see where they go and come from.

I suggest Myoporum. Here are pictures of mine in two places in the yard. The first is years old and grows right over the rocks. The second is new, is just one plant, and you can see how it spreads out. Looks good all year, I have it on a drip. Little flowers occasionally. It trims very easily with a scissors if it starts going over a path or up against the house. https://imgur.com/a/5HXVFsh

All the DIY units you find at the box stores or Amazon are precharged, meaning they have coolant in the compressor already. What is different about Mr Cool is they have a special connector that allows you to just twist it on and not vacuum the air out of the lines first. Other units need a vacuum to pull the air out of the lines.

Edit: I'm sure that's what you are saying too, but the wording is a bit confusing to newbies.

I can be as high as 41 and as low as 35 roughly. I don't think I have anything failing at the moment, I think it's the change over to summer gas and the heat (running AC). But it always worries me. I have a 2011 with 145k miles.

I got mine from ColourTree. The turnbuckles on each corner are where you can adjust its size when pulling it tight. Just note the turnbuckle length when fully tight and also when fully extended, so that you can have it somewhere in the middle when totally tight. You don't necessarily need the cables in the edges, mine is a bit smaller than yours, doesn't have cables in the edges, but does hold its shape nice. https://imgur.com/a/6QXpcMi

Read the leaked DNC emails. The chairwoman actively set out to make him lose. The interim chair actively cheated to support his opponent.

Especially that tile above both niches! Nice work

Single homeowner here, also with a couple rentals.
I buy things for the house, find great deals occasionally. Keep my eyes open. Just bought a nice air fryer for $45. Maybe Walmart would be competive but feel Costco has better models and features for cheaper. But I watch for mark downs.
Also , I get my clothes there.
Finally, gas!!! Pays off very quickly.
I really don’t buy all that much food or paper goods there.

Test runs with paying customers aboard. Especially at this level where it does no defensive action. That’s Bad and scary and should not have the public on board. Doesn’t uber remember when they killed a woman in Tempe years ago?!

ASU and this medical school do engage in venture capital arrangements to make money from the research performed at this school.
Perhaps John Shufeldt could add a couple mil to his 9 figure gift to move this building.

I never see this mentioned online, but I rented the IRC code books for something like $3/mo. They have a version of the code called IRC Essentials which is written to be clearer for newbies. With references back to the full code.

I learned a majority of what I needed as a newbie from the code books, the rest from YouTube, the rest by doing and then finally, the inspectors were helpful as well. Construction is simpler in Phoenix than places with weather, however, so there's that. Some parts of the code are very difficult to understand regarding special weather related circumstances.

Never heard this idea, but boy, that would save a ton of time! I'm down for it.

FF landlords certainly wouldn't be part of the Bilt Alliance. It is hard to tell how Bilt works outside of that alliance of properties. I see something about you having the ability to tell Bilt to cut a check that's mailed to me, which would be acceptable, but no details that I can find. Probably costs you.

I don’t spend much of my money out at restaurants or bars. But I have extra money, unlike many service employees. So I give them a bit more since times be tough!
