but I don't know where all African countries are.

I know they're in Africa, at least. Boom, chalk one up for the Americans.

I also know where Mauritius is and how to say it, because I met a guy from there and he said it and I was like I've never heard of this place, and the he spelled it, and I added it to the list of words that I'd only ever read and not heard, and this pronounced incorrectly, like epitome and ethereal.

Yeah, so I unscrew the arms from the fans, versus the blades from the arms, and because I don't wanna mess with the rubber gromets or whatever those pieces are called. They seem to be slightly dessicated where they're exposed, and I feel like if I were to remove the screws from there it'd be all over. The arm to fan body is just metal screw into a machined hole, and who knows, maybe I'm tightening up a joint that loosened since I last cleaned the blades (which is definitely not a short amount of time, I don't exactly do it a lot).

I like dubstep too but I'm trying to figure out what word was supposed to be in "An important dubstep of that," unless there's some alternate meaning I'm unfamiliar with.

And to add to what you said here, check out the meal services that send you fresh ingredients to cook a meal. Find one that has a discount for getting started or whatnot. Don't feel compelled to buy last the discount period or whatever, but it can be a nice way to familiarize yourself with cooking without worrying about compiling ingredients. I'm pretty happy with my kitchen prowess, and with our assortment of spices and whatnot, but there's still times when I look up a recipe and it's like, huh, I don't have that one ingredient and it's a big deal. The meal kits avoid that altogether.

Frozen veggies are also good in a pinch. They don't lose their nutrition like canned veggies do (not that they don't have value, just less value), and they obviously last a whole. I throw a cup of frozen mixed veggies in to a Nissin ramen and boom, my meal isn't that unhealthy.

I'll toss my easiest one. I get chicken breasts from Costco, so we freeze six 1.5lb packs and bust em out when we can. I generally don't do frozen but have in a pinch, but chicken breast in a crockpot with a jar of your favorite salsa and either taco seasoning or some alternative, sazon packets, or some other shit. Eight hours on low, shred around 630, plop it back in, stir it up, and you have chicken that goes great over rice. Can of black beans, don't drain, just dump it all in a pot, heat over medium, add some adobo. Super easy, my kids eat it, can go in a taco, rice, we do it on nachos from time to time. And best of all, it ain't bad for you.

I'm fortunate, but I have time in the morning to drop my kids off at school and then hit the grocery store. School is a mile east from my house, ShopRite a mile west. I grab fresh veggies for whatever I'm making tonight, throw it in fridge, then shower and get to work. I was tired of having a plan for a dinner later in the week, but then life gets in the way.

I try to get meats in bulk and freeze, but veggies I usually buy and eat that day, save for the bags of carrots and peppers and cucumbers that we snack on. We do admittedly lose a cucumber every so often.

Go to Rudy's for a porkslap, a shot, and a hot dog in the meatpacking district, five bucks.

There's a million places to go. You can find cheap, you just might not like it. I've had some of my most fun times at shithole bars in the city. Many nights ended at the croc lounge, may she rest in peace, a free bar pie with every beer you order.

I started just taking the individual blades off the fan. Three screws apiece, in and out, and I can really clean them up. I do like your stick thingy though, maybe I should explore other options.

Yeah, I just think you've oversimplified it all. Like I said, I love the idea, but it's a huge ask, and it would require a lot of coordination over a period of time. I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that sending Marines to the border, and sending them to protests in LA, is causing some kind of disenfranchisement amongst the enlisted, but a circle of dudes throwing rocks at a nalgene complaining about how this is bullshit is a far cry from an organized mutiny, essentially.

It'd be awesome. But how do you get a whole unit openly discussing insubordination? I love the idea, but it's just not practical, and not in the short amount of time. The order came down within the last week? It was probably go go go since then.

They're Marines, I can tell you from experience, they are unfortunately used to it.

2/7 is based on 29 Palms. They may have stopped at Pendleton on the way. 29 Palms is a Marine Corps base only.
