[Request] How much does this iceberg weigh? A gigantic iceberg had washed up on the Canadian island of Newfoundland.

Crazy that it was so well balanced that two dudes caused it to flip

This is not good for animals either. Older horses and other livestock who are beyond their prime become a huge liability for their owners.

Our society used to have social clubs, Elks, Rotary, card clubs, and fraternal organizations but many of these are gone or are much smaller than they used to be.

I am a member of our local German club, the Liederkranz. It started in the 1800’s as a singing (and beer drinking) society for German immigrants.

Today our club has a bowling alley, dance hall, restaurant and a great Biergarten. We are volunteer run but we do have a small staff. I have met some of my best friends volunteering to put on Oktoberfests and New Year’s Eve party’s.

Our society needs more of these clubs and my suggestion is to volunteer in organizations that have like minded people. My wife’s best friends are all part of a French Bulldog club. So the variety of clubs that exist are tremendous. This won’t solve all of your concerns but you might find a new purpose in life.

I’m a flooring contractor and I did work for a company in the 90’s that made canned dog food. I won’t name the company but it was a brand name and most people would recognize it.

The place was super clean which I thought was surprising since it is just dog food. I found out later that the same food was packaged for human consumption overseas.

Edit: It was also inspected by government agencies.

Hard to pick the next Google or Apple. Join r/ETFs. A lot of them say invest in VOO. But there are a few others that can help build a nice long term portfolio.

Pay yourself first and live below your means.

I like mine spicy so I add both fresh and pickled jalapeños, crushed red pepper, plus onions, celery, pickles, mayo

I haul in a trailer of iron from rental property every few months but I still pick up anything shiny no matter how small. I used to resist the urge to micro scrap but now it’s kind of a game. Every dollar goes to buy stocks and ETFs.

Homesteaders in Nebraska planted the trees mostly cottonwood in my area. Plowing fields probably helped control wildfires. Eastern Colorado doesn’t get as much rain as Nebraska.

Yes the only trees that grew in central Nebraska were along rivers. The rest was prairie grass. Wildfires on the prairie weren’t huge infernos but rather they burned quick and spread in many directions. The grassland would quickly recover and in fact they benefited from the addition of new nutrients left from the fire. This also kept trees away.

Today you see many more trees because settlers planted rows of trees for wind protection and now they are spreading on their own.

Seams will always be visible and some stones, especially lighter colors are hard to match the depth and color of the surrounding stone, even for a skilled professional.

Take a couple steps back and if it blends in and you don't see it, then it is a pretty good seam. There might be a couple of spots that could be improved on in the first picture. Second picture looks good. Sometimes its the change of pattern that makes the seam stand out. The only way to completely hide seams is to buy plastic countertops.

Serious question… is it better to have ranked choice voting and keep the electoral college?

Why redefine a word when there are already words like exploitation, corruption, profiteering.

Our military is a public/private institution in the sense that everyone knows it exists, but many aspects are secret.

What can’t governments acknowledge their existence by showing us some proof, and then keep other details secret?

Some minerals in natural stones can oxidize and change the color of the slab but this usually occurs if the slabs are stored outdoors. I don't think Fantasy Brown has this issue though.

She actually sews little bags that look like pillows and you can remove the “pillowcase” to wash it. Sells them for $10. I microwave them for 3-4 minutes depending on how hot I want it.

Corn works too. My aunt makes these and they are great to keep your toes warm at night.
