Honestly, if Vance assumes control and your democrats aren’t screaming all day and all night about this unelected and illegitimate president for as long as it takes to get an election, then they really haven’t learned anything about the way the game has been played for the last couple decades.
Unless you have an old system with a pilot light, you are probably dependent on an electric ignition system. Those have been the norm for a couple decades now for propane and natural gas furnaces.
For sure, most use oil or propane as a primary heat source when gas isn’t available. But those rely on both expensive fossil fuel and electricity to run, so a backup that doesn’t depend on either is handy, especially with all these once in a century storms we get every year now. Wood makes for a cheap, effective backup. Used to be so common in housing too. Now we just get gas furnaces and gas fireplaces for show. Still, I wouldn’t go out of my way to get a woodstove. I agree that a backup generator is plenty for most situations. But if you have an older home with a fireplace, keep a half cord around and make sure the chimney is clean.
As you reach city limits in a lot of cities, it is increasingly likely that you will no longer find gas lines, city water, or sewers. Having a backup heat source is pretty comforting. Much like you, I used to rely on just gas with a generator for backup, but I’ve experienced frozen gas mains, so I like having a woodstove and a couple cords of wood to burn as a backup source of heat. Plus it’s very cozy on damp, cold days, and nicer than the fireplace channel on Christmas.
Guess you could say he was climaxing in “vein”?
Yeah, formal recognition is just a baby step. Only the bare minimum for acknowledging Palestine as a state. I’ll be surprised if anything other than this happens. Maybe we’ll get a stern rebuke or a tut-tut soon.
The formal recognition is only possible during a UN general assembly, which next happens in September. That’s why world leaders keep stating their intention to recognize Palestine in September, at the next session of the UNGA.
Because the UN General Assembly takes summer holidays too. No matter how eager Carney may be to declare it, he still has to wait for the UNGA to resume in September.
People here laughed at those and traded them around like cards. Banning tobacco in all public places though, that got very noticeable and immediate results. The public health campaign “helped” about as much as a 3 year old making cookies with mom.
Once Bitten, Joe vs the Volcano, and Mortal Kombat are all way better movies than they should have been.
I’d watch it for the Europe-heavy soundtrack alone, but the film is a damned masterpiece.
Square hogs! Yeah, it’s fair to say I loved this one from the start.
Scrolling past, I thought that was a hippo in a blue hood. Now I feel bad for laughing.
I did three days once and was still lucid. Wasn’t even really tired, so I even went clubbing until 5am on the last night. I could have stayed up longer, but I had no reason to be up anymore, so I got four or five hours of sleep and was back on schedule. Some people just can’t do that kind of thing, and it seems to be easier for others. Dude from China sounds like a machine though. I’d guess be was the right combination of the kind of person who doesn’t require a lot of sleep and stubborn as hell.
McRib comimg back!
Dude might have been drunk. If it isn’t intentional, it’s usually a case of too drunk or too old.
Shiny.
Oh I am well aware, but recall that according to the rules, Obama should have had his supreme court pick. Doesn’t matter if the rules say he would be president if everyone including Vance himself feels he is illegitimate because that’s all they ever hear. Might even provoke him into an election after a year of badgering him at ever possible opportunity. Hearts and Minds is a game, and right now only one side is playing.
