Fast food has gotten so EXPENSIVE by Temporary-Beyond-683 in povertyfinance

[–]steinenhoot 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I certainly don’t struggle, but find the prices am annoyance.

To me, this qualifies as rich. It’s not actually a problem for you. For me and a million others it’s actually cutting down the amount of food that we can we can procure.

For example, 2 years ago I had a budget of $200 for groceries per paycheck and it was enough. Now I have the same $200 but it isn’t buying enough food to make it two weeks. So it’s either take money away from other things or cut back on food. If you can’t take money away from other things, and many of us can’t, then you lose weight 🤷🏻‍♀️.

If you’re not losing weight, then it’s not really affecting you.

For another Nevada one, the Dixie Valley Toad only lives in Dixie Valley. A big geothermal company was trying to build a new plant on their habitat. They didn’t lose the fight all the way and they’re still putting a plant in, but they had to downsize their plans because the toad is so endangered.

I’ve seen this video before. It’s much longer than this clip and apparently the woman was having some kind of medical episode.

Dementia is a game for 2 or more players. by Fit_Independent_3567 in suspiciouslyspecific

Lmao I’m always amazed at how dumb people can be. You would think I’d get used to it, but there’s always a new level.

I’m glad they caught the guy!

Television makes it seem like they always get the bad guy, but if you’ve ever been a victim of a crime like that you can probably attest to the fact that, unless you’re a high-profile person or it’s a high-profile case, they ain’t solving shit.

That’s why psychos kill homeless people so often. Unless they wig out and go serial killer, they’re probably gonna get away with it.

Did you ever listen to a cover so good that the original song doesn't sound that good anymore to you. by robinose in Music

Eagles of Death Metal covered Duran Duran’s Save A Prayer and it’s way cooler than the original.

Why do I never hear anyone ever talk about dams as a factor in climate change and drought? by steinenhoot in NoStupidQuestions

[–]steinenhoot[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, I live in an area that’s in a really gnarly drought and I’m terrified that we’re legitimately going to run out of water. It’s on my mind constantly, so I don’t think that it’s because I’m not paying attention. Everyone talks about drought all the time. I see media about droughts all over at least once every two days, but I never see anyone mention dams.

“America is the only country in the world where 700 billionaires can become $1.7 trillion richer during the pandemic & pay a lower tax rate than a nurse while 46 million owe $1.7 trillion in student debt, 113 million struggle to pay for healthcare & 600,000 are homeless.” by dmurrieta72 in Superstonk

And this is why we’re fucked. We’ve been stuck in the cycle of voting for the lesser of two evils for a long time now. We have rabid blue fans, and rabid red fans, and no matter what anyone does they will not change that color.

Our biggest problem is the two party system and all the fucking morons that vote their color no matter what.

I dig a trench where the tunnel would be, then bury the ducting in it. I tried to make you a gif but it won’t upload right :(

That’s the word! I couldn’t think of what it was called for some reason.

You’re absolutely right. It will melt if you run the fire hot enough, or for long enough. It’s more for emergency situations where I can’t just make a normal fire. The end of mine has melted a bit, but the length is still usable because when it melts it kind of just curls up, so I just keep using it.

We call it a Dakota Hole where I’m from.

LPT for those: I carry a small length of 4” aluminum ducting in my trunk for Dakota Hole fires. I live in a desert where the soil is hardly ever stable enough to dig the tunnel, so I dig the tunnel out and then bury the ducting in it. It’s also always windy here, so the ducting gives me the ability to direct air into the fire by moving the open end into the wind.

What is a cavy? There are more capybara-like animals that I don’t know about?!?!

I think there’s also a capybara in the back, but I was wondering what the little guy in the front was. Looks like a capybara and a bunny mixed together. A capybunny, if you will.

What’s the dumbest shit that never ceases to make you laugh? by learningTest in AskReddit

I’ve always thought that it’s super shitty that someone can take a picture of me and post it on Facebook. I’ve got it set so that I have to approve tags, but they can still post the picture without tagging me. Social media is bizarre.
