Ever try it with malt vinegar?

The fix to the underlying problem is pay enough money to make people want the job.

You want to be a janitor? "No" You want to be a janitor for $40/hr? "Hell yeah"

To show they know you, at least a bit. Cash can obviously used by everyone about anywhere, but for that reason it can be given to someone you don't know at all and they'll like it.

A gift card shows that the giver at least believes they know the gifted well enough to know where they like to spend money. They just don't know them well enough to know they would like "this specific thing" and know they don't already one one.

So people don't want to work for a small amount of money, and brexit is being blamed? Because that just sounds like poor people were being taken advantage out out of desperation for a job.

Fear the cost? It's pretty cheap. Problem with fentanyl is that you can't really stop the supply. You can make it from way too many different things and the dosage is so potent you just need a tiny amount. It's not like meth where you can control one ingredient and it will cut off a ton of supply.

No. It's that most drug users have become aware of narcan, how to use it, and that we started leaving narcan with addicts and their family members after running an overdose call to them, that pretty much all the police, fire, and ems all keep narcan on hand, and that anyone can walk into target and buy the stuff.

Pretty much all the overdoses are from heroin and/or fentanyl. Narcan just gets misted up a nostril and about 2 to 5 minutes later it's taken over the receptors that heroin/fentanyl bind to.

So the drug problem isn't lessening. We just started handing out the antidote to an overdose like candy on Halloween

There's currently 15,000,000 houses in the US that aren't even being lived in right now. We in no way have to increase the production rate of building more houses in order to house everyone.

It was a bit different. Brexit wasn't hiring workers for $14/hour because legal residents would be doing the job for $25/hour.

Besides that, we don't need more houses being built so much as we need a hard cap on any entity owning more than a few rental houses.

Vista had better features and stuff, but people hated it because it was a huge jump in needing extra resources and any mid tier or lower laptop that came pre-installed with it the first year was underspecced for it, so it ran like turd on those and sucked away gaming performance on everyone's rig.

95 wasn't bad. 98 had some bugs and they quickly released 98SE, which was great and then they released the soggy turd of windows Millennium.

That was their disaster year. Windows ME, released just 2 years after 98 in 2000, and written out of existence just one year later by Windows XP.

You can't simply reverse a video to avoid copyright. What gave you that idea?

Just curious if anyone else has had issues with their track pads on the OLED models.

My left side touch pad doesn't "depress" down at all in the middle, and requires much more force around the sides to depress down and "click". If you go by the haptic pressure measurement, the right side will click at around 3,000 anywhere on the pad,, but the left side takes about 10,000 around the edges and never does in the middle.
