If you have Costco membership, their optical department is pretty affordable. Frames are $50-80. Lenses another $80 or so, but depends on complexity and of you get transitions and whatnot.

Glad to hear. Our little ones love them too!

You’re welcome.

They have some vitamins and iron, not too much fat or sugar, but still taste great. There is also a ground version that can be eaten with milk, kind of like a sweet porridge - but better.

Factorio and OpenTTD

Technically correct, but there are systems that don’t have to rely on maps per say. For example, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party-list_proportional_representation where representatives are assigned proportionally based on the votes. You don’t have “your own representative”.

Obviously there are downsides to this, but at the same time it requires no districts and manipulation in that regard is not possible.

This doesn’t seem correct. RCS is supposed to be supported by you mobile provider, if it isn’t only then your messaging app on Android will use Google’s service. The whole protocol was meant to be open to entice companies to adopt it.

I understand Google dropped don’t be evil, but they are not a villain in every story.

They don’t expect to go bankrupt by 2033. That’s when the surplus/reserves will run out. The system doesn’t have the fixed amount of money. Current employees are constantly paying into it.

20% is the shortfall between payout vs people paying in. And it will only happen if it’s not addressed. Which I’m sure will get addressed last minute or something like that.

Wikipedia has pretty detailed account of Israel Palestine conflict including all the sources

It’s not right now, that’s true. Both sides are moving more extreme and away from a peaceful solution. But historically Arabs were far less open to the idea of two state solution. Starting with the partition plan of 1947.

Israel proposed/accepted/was in favor of two state solution multiple times throughout history. It was Palestinians who rejected it.

Does burn ban apply to BBQ? I always assumed that’s enclosed fire.

I was wondering the same thing. But it appears that cost of living adjustment is not considered a pay raise in the context of 27th amendment.
