I grew up going to science competitions in Temple Hall. I practically lived there for my pre engineering years and I actually did live there during grad school. And now I work as a scientist at MSU. Not lying when I say this was the first time I'd ever heard of Allen Temple. Not sure it's legend. I would almost guarantee my coworkers here also don't know who he is. We know Blunt because he pushes massive amounts of funding our way for science research and that included about fifty million to double the size of Temple Hall, which is why they renamed it after him. I'll happily eat the downvotes if it means some of you will read this and think about ditching the blanket views of him as anti science because he's a republican. He was literally a science teacher before politics and has pushed billions into science research during his career. I don't agree with his politics, but I'm very aware that he's pro science.

Trying to remember when he supported Jan 6? I think you're confusing Blunt with Hawley. Whether or not you like him, he's not retiring because he hates being a Senator. He's retiring because he clashed with trump and fell out of favor with Missouri Republicans. Blunt was one of the people denouncing Jan 6 as it was going on, which would be expected since it interfered with his constitutional duty to verify the results of the election and he's a pretty strict constitutionalist.

I was able to connect Google Mesh and knock out all the dead spots in our home. Before Brightspeed; I had to pay extra for a repeater from Mediacom, and couldn’t use WiFi in the basement, a room off our dining room, our kitchen or backyard. It has been nice to finally remove those dead zones and have fast internet anywhere in the house.

I work from home and we originally had mediacom and I was constantly having issues, the minute I switched, holy crap. Work is so much easier and my husband can game at the same time. It's insane. I haven't had to call them since install over a year ago. Can't recommend them enough

Oh fuck off with that self-righteous bullshit.

It's statistically proven you're a bigger danger to others driving slower than the pace of traffic than faster. If you can't keep up with the flow, you shouldn't be in it.

It's a good thing you don't drive, because you're the asshole making traffic worse and more dangerous for everyone else.

You nailed it on the head. I was fairly gung-ho to open a fairly tiny hole in the wall this coming year, but the numbers simply don’t work out well enough when you take all the variables you mentioned into account.

As for the question at hand, man I wish there was Ethiopian food here, but good luck. I don’t even know how far you’d have to drive to get even homemade Injera, let alone some kitfo and tibs.

I honestly love the internet. The technician was awesome but their customer service is damn near impossible to get ahold of. We got passed around for awhile before we got ahold of someone. They were nice and helpful about it thou.

There is a sign at that intersection that says not to block the intersection where the road that goes parallel to glenstone takes you to home goods. If that intersection is blocked traffic turning on to Erie gets stuck on Glenstone. I always stop so I don't block the intersection. Several times I have had people drive around and pull in front of me. Thus blocking the intersection to get one car length ahead. Peoples nuts in this town!

Dr. Google says they heat the room to 118 degrees for 90 minutes, minimum, to kill all bed bugs and their eggs. So, I probably wouldn't run a computer while they're doing a treatment, but your appliances and stuff will be fine.

If you were to throw the bed out, you'd probably be left with eggs on the floor or at least one bed bug... all you need is one to restart an infestation.
