    Actually... 20% is all that's needed for nuclear reactors [image: 1774688598221-screenshot_20260328-090145_duckduckgo.jpg] A dozen US soldiers are reported injured on a US base overnight, so the bases aren't all abandoned. Yemen fired a missile at us last night so they are fair game. You can't negotiate reasonably with fanatical terrorists who have been chipping away at our democracies since 1979 and before. They don't care about anyone else, have nothing to lose except power. Trump needs to learn this, and also the true meaning of obliterate. Perhaps the time has come to give these murdering fanatics of Iran a fair warning and then go 'Bomber Harris' on their butts: You sink any one ship and we'll obliterate any one of your 140 cities, plus of course the area from which the missile was fired.

    2019 Hyundai Accent | Carvana https://share.google/t3bMNOiKr6cqln5Wm Practically the same car for sale after last one sold. I'm glad this decision will easy and quick. This is apparently a sub-segment of the market for this year, make, and model. I was talking to a neighbor I know at the pool. We decided to leave at the same time and he offered to give me a ride home in his BMW 3 Series convertible. He's a retired aircraft mechanic and it's his pride and joy. I've never driven or been a passenger in a BMW. I was very pleasantly surprised. I liked his car very much. It was all spontaneous and fun. Oh, and before we left, I complimented a man on his watch, necklaces, and cross pendant. He asked me if I had any watches. I told him about my Casios and told him they don't go under water. He said you like watches? Then he took his Amitron off his wrist and gave it to me. Extraordinary. I felt like I had been blessed.

    Those blocks Steve showed are very popular around here. I see them often. I didn’t know they were a Home Depot (cough, Trump donor, cough) item. But likely available elsewhere.

    Link to video I understand they have to cover this, and in fairness I saw what it said, and then skipped over it. But this is only the surface layer. Of course, this woman is deranged. The point is that it was almost certainly an attempted hit job. I have followed these crimes (i.e murders) in this industry starting with the killing of Tupac Shakur. It took me years to solve his murder to my satisfaction. In fact, I put the final puzzle pieces together very recently. The context of this deranged woman's crime is much more clear to me. I want to wait until more facts emerge before saying anything else. I'm relatively certain that I know who set this up but at this time I don't want to go out in a limb. I predict that the truth will come out and many people will be surprised. This was a terrible crime against a very significant artist, and it sucks.

    The Active brand. Pretty sure we had the Dirty labs one before but never paused the washer to give the enzymes longer to work. I do use the Dirty labs dishwasher powder and that's been working well.

    I’m glad it went well! It’s demanding and exciting to be in a group where expectations are set at a high level, or unusual parameters are set. I’m recalling my own college choir days, although half the time I was pressed into the role of accompanist. There’s so much great choral music.
