None of these answers are very good.
It’s a late 90/ early 2000s Volvo sedan with a bumper sticker from their kids under and post grad schools.

Reply to Converting wood burning fireplace to Gas by trudeljb
You're going to want to want a gas insert instead of just gas burning logs.
Head to a fireplace store with pictures and some general measurements of the opening and they'll sort you out.

I’d agree with this more except the number of Massholes bombing down the right lane makes that merge a bit more ‘interesting’. Though you still shouldn’t stop.
My favorite is close proximity on/off ramps, like 93-95, where it’s really obvious to zipper when there is heavy traffic…and people still don’t do it.

Get the drool checked out? Every 2-4 year old drooled on their mask. They’re toddlers.

My son had to wear a mask from 2 to 4—half his life. We were on board when covid was killing people left and right but now we have a vaccine and tools to fight it.
Not to mention, young kids aren’t supposed to wear N95s and we know cloth masks are ineffective so what are we doing?? It’s nonsensical.
Follow the science. The science says cloth masks don’t work so let the young kids be maskless and if older kids make the choice to wear N95 they are well protected regardless of it others are masked. Let these kids have free will and choose for themselves.
Children deserve to have normalcy and see smiling faces. They’ve sacrificed a lot and it’s time to give them their childhoods back. Anyone who doesn’t understand that can fuck off.

The take away is really that they weren't upfront about why they took them out of service. Actually it's even worse, they didn't even want to say that they were taking them out of service, much less the why.

The old conservative ethos of “we have lots of theories but no proof!”
Take those 18 states. The thesis of the video is “well, those states ought to show us what happens when republicans can’t obstruct things! But Dems are full of shit because they say they want more equality, better health care, blah blah blah, and those states are shitholes.”
But for those 18 states:
-
how does their life expectancy compare to the red/mixed states?
-
how does their median income compare?
-
how does their teen pregnancy rates compare?
-
how does their auto fatality and overdose rates compare?
-
what about women’s rights?
-
voting rights?
-
LGBTQ rights?
-
Legalized weed?
-
how does any other public health metric compare?
Because it isn’t really a burn to say “hey…these BLUE states that have their act together…hmmm, everyone seems to have higher incomes, folks live longer, they do better…and woah - what’s this - the land and houses cost more because MORE folks wants to live there than the shitty Red states…”
There’s a reason the video skimps on data.
Because it wouldn’t support any thesis that California, NY, NJ, CT, or MA is “worse off” or “promotes inequality” more than Texas, Louisiana, Missouri, West Virginia, or Alabama. Those states have shit tons of broke ass sick people who are suffering and dying of very preventable causes at ages far younger than they should be.

It depends on how I feel and how long I have to be outside.
But more importantly, we do not force people to use umbrellas. If you want to get soaked, it's on you.

One of the complaints is limited parking for the new development. I don't think the neighbors are too concerned about walking and riding bikes.
