Half of this is expensive, but the higher quality stuff usually is.

  • I highly recommend trying to buy good cookware (if you cook a lot). Even just one good stainless steel pan is a game changer. I've had some for 20 years and they still look new and aren't even coated in poison. I have no idea how much they cost these days, but I expect a lot more than a cheap one. Cast iron is a good alternative to stainless steel, but harder to maintain and can retain tastes/smells

  • An air filter if you live anywhere with air pollution (every city) or a fire season. The cheap option is to get a box fan and put a big central AC filter on it.

  • A plunger for the toilet and one for the sink/shower/tub.

  • Something to trap hair before it goes down the drain and maybe you won't need a plunger

  • A fire extinguisher

Sounds fake. Anyone find a link to the actual statement anywhere? A video? Anything other than social media posts?

This really explains my childhood obsession with sporks.

What? Is this real? I've never heard about this before. I remember that they worked security at the same place, but not that Chauvin owed Floyd money or that they even really knew each other.

We should temporarily re-federate just to gloat about it

Alaska is so fucked if they don't improve living conditions for higher temps quickly. I live further south, but still in a place where AC is uncommon and it sucks so much when it gets up over 85°. I can't imagine how hot it gets when all your homes are built specifically for subzero temps and don't even have fucking ceiling fans. People already die every year in places that are somewhat prepared for hot weather.

Edit: omg I didn't even think about how they get 22 hours of daylight during the summer

If these were the exact colors, definitely intentional. But I don't think they are the exact colors of the bi flag

On February 3, 1969, Funt, his wife, and his two youngest children boarded Eastern Airlines Flight 7 in Newark, New Jersey, with a destination of Miami, Florida. En route, two men hijacked the plane and demanded passage to Cuba. Some of the passengers, having spotted Funt, believed the whole thing was a Candid Camera stunt.[13] Funt repeatedly attempted to persuade them the hijacking was real, to no avail. The plane landed in Cuba, finally convincing the passengers.[4] Funt and the other passengers were released after 11 hours of captivity.[13]

It's giving millenial

 

I've looked at a few lists here and there, but it seems like there just aren't many co-ops that recruit strangers online. Anyone have any experience working for a co-op as a dev? It seems like it would be an awesome way to structure a small web/app dev team. Part of me wants to try to start one myself, but it's hard to imagine maintaining the motivation needed for a task like that when I can barely function as it is.

Anyway, what's up with the lack of cooperatives? Sorry if this is the wrong comm, seemed like the best place
