Behind this 100%, target practice with firearms should be done on private property only. Went on a hike yesterday in a state park and it was completely ruined by the gun idiots mag-dumping over and over and over. The sound carries for miles.

I'm sure they're great in bed, considering as soon as they pull the thing out they're ready to just blow their entire wad all over the place.

Done!

Sure! It's from America's test kitchen, their website is paywalled, so here's a screenshot.

Yeah, the peaks got a bit charred in places, lessons learned for next time. Still think it came out pretty good for my first try. Plus it was delicious.

And then, you shut the fuck up.

I mean, he's not wrong, but also good luck getting anyone to sympathize with you, fucking ghoul.

Everything sour is acidic, the sour taste comes from the hydrogen ions (protons) donated by acids blocking the potassium ions leaving your taste buds, this creates a depolarization and opens voltage gated calcium channels, the influx of which causes neurotransmitter release. Sour gums/candies don't contain Acetic acid (vinegar) but instead Citric acid and sometimes Malic acid.

I've found this is only true if you eat at the restaurant, there is a very short timer that starts as soon as your food comes out, any longer than that and the cheese starts to coagulate and the fries get cold and tough.

Back then everyone smoked 100 cigarettes everyday.

I spent the better part of the last decade in a good deal of pain due to an undiagnosed spinal injury in my neck. In the 4-5 months leading up to having surgery, the pain and muscle spasms were so bad I couldn't stand or walk on my own, put on my own clothes, or take care of myself. I was severely suicidally depressed, extremely overweight, and jobless.

In July of 2022 I was finally able to get approved for surgery (I had to wait 3 months for an MRI), my surgeon performed a corpectomy (removal of the vertebral body) of my C5-C6 vertebrae and fused C4-C7. I spent the next 3 months in a neck brace, doing rehab and physical therapy and decided that this was going to be the turning point in my life.

In the 9 months since I got the brace off, we've been eating better (the hardest one) and I lift weights 2x per week for about 1.5 hrs and walk 3x per week for about 45 min. I've lost about 40 lbs so far and I can definitely see changes in my physique for the first time. I have a long way to go, but I makes me proud to see how far I have come.

But to answer to question, yesterday I went on a 4.5 mile hike up a mountain with a friend and was able to complete it all. My feet are quite sore today, but I'm really proud of myself for being able to do something like that after being in such bad condition.

No, it's just me and my wife. But we both have stable, decent paying jobs. Plus it's really the people that make this place terrible, the area itself is beautiful. I was born here, so I'd like nothing more than for this place to be better, but with the current political climate, leadership (both state and federal), and the unwillingness of anyone on the right to even have a conversation about progressive talking points, I just feel really hopeless that anything will ever get better.

I'm a progressive living in a red state and I would love to leave, but who has the money or connections to just fucking move states? Like who the hell do I know in Washington state? And because the cost of living tends to be higher in blue states, it's impossible to save enough to move to one of those areas from fucking Arkansas.
