I was going to say, coal remains around 1/3 of our electric generation worldwide (as of 2022): https://www.statista.com/statistics/269811/world-electricity-production-by-energy-source/
Coal can’t be reused, created, or otherwise obtained outside of mining. Until we remove our dependency on coal, mining will continue.
Nah, he could have pardoned them before he left office but as usual doesn’t give a flying fuck about anyone except himself. These idiots don’t realize they were simply tools used and then discarded.
However, I could foresee a scenario where another candidate runs hard on the “pardon all the J6 ‘political prisoners’ platform” and get some traction. That said, they would only follow-through if it got them political points or some other personal gain.
Of course, which is why they (republicans) have been working so hard to dismantle free and fair elections. They know they can’t win if things are fair.
If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.

If they are US routes or interstates then yes. If they are state or county/township roads than probably not. Though if I recall correctly if a local road has an over/underpass of an interstate federal funds could be used to help maintain or rebuild those bridges. That part I’m fuzzy on though so could be wrong.
I much prefer having lunch in my PJs with my cats to having lunch with my coworkers.
He (the candidate) it just targeting key swing states. That’s not to say others won’t follow and file similar lawsuits which is quite possible. The real question is what happens with them and do they have an real impact.
I’m really curious what you do where you are salaried with that low of a pay. Totally understand if you don’t want to share though.
I’ve heard that before but really wonder if it’s true. My last encounter with (I believe Mormons though it’s been a LOT of years ago) was while we were eating dinner. The front door was open with the glass storm door closed. They came to the door, knocked, then stared at us while we were eating dinner as a family. We stared back and they proceeded to knock another 3 times before leaving. I mean, regardless of what you are at the door for that’s just rude as fuck so how would they expect a nice response?!
something something gay wedding cake. Last I checked LEO isn’t a protected class. And they aren’t even denying LEO, just those that come in on-duty and are armed. So yeah, get fucked pigs.
For me it’s anyone that comes to my doorstep trying to sell something (including religion). To get to that point you have to walk past TWO “no soliciting” signs. That makes the person blind, incompetent, or both.
Many utilities offer bill discounts if you install a thermostat they can control during peak events. Some even will install radio-contolled switches on water heaters. Electric utilities have a VERY strong incentive to try and shave peak load during high-demand events.
Source: I worked for an electric utility. We even took our buildings off the grid and ran on generator during peak-load events. It was cheaper to burn diesel then contribute to the load.
They don’t even care about the fetus though, it’s just an excuse to oppress women.
I was in Deadwood SD this summer, I’ll have to check out the series. Thanks for the suggestion!
Usually around 74F in the summer but I’ll bump it if the temps outside hit the mid 90s. 64 in the winter, I like it cold. I run a portable AC in the master bedroom during the summer while we sleep. Bit of a story there.
Are there actually people that need an excuse to get drunk and bbq? Sounds like a normal Saturday to me.
I mean, tropical storm aside would you want to be in Florida anyway?
The calculator defaults to semi-monthly and I think the original commenter didn’t change it. Also, it defaults to your current location so the take-home will be different for everyone running the calculator (because taxes). $78k is $6500 a month BEFORE TAXES.
But that’s my point, employers are giving it (kinda, I’ll circle-back to this). The full-time offer has gone up $9k in the last 12 months. Contrasted with the ask that has only gone up $6k in that same time-frame.
Now, is $70k a livable wage? Hard to say without a more specific location. In bumfuck Alabama, probably. In LA, hell no.
So:
The average reservation wage of U.S. jobs seekers — the lowest annual pay workers would accept for a new job — climbed to a record high of $78,645 in July, up from $72,873 at the same time last year, according to the survey.
Combined with:
Yet the average full-time wage offer received in the past four months was $69,475, itself a marked increase from $60,764 last July.
So that’s a ~13.5% increase in full-time wage offers vs a ~7.5% increase in ask. This seems like a non-story then, yes? Inflation has pushed wages higher which has pushed expectations higher. However, the offer increase is higher than the ask increase so… Am I missing something here?
That’s where the top of his skull was opened and the brain replaced with a racist bowl of jello.
