If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.
I think the rail for the sunroof shade to retract is also jammed, thus the total $1K price tag for the repairs.
Correct. This is the third or fourth VW we’ve owned where the drain adjacent to the windshield clogs up with dirt & leaf debris, & leaks into the front passenger side of the car. A pain to clean out & the problem is not fixed because it is a design flaw. Otherwise we love the cars.
Every operable sunroof we’ve ever had (especially Volkswagens) leak badly.
Our current Alltrak needs a thousand-dollar repair for that, which we are unwilling to spend for something so unnecessary.
What about the ones directly in front of your house on a snowy day?
Do you follow @marisakabas.bsky.social?
She has made an art form of calling despicable people out as bitches…..
The new dollar coin situation definitely warrants that.
So embarrassing. The UCity Mayor has decades of business experience. Why did this happen?

I went through 18 months of chemo, immunotherapy, radiation. The most I could do was occasional wobbly walks of 15 to 30 minutes with breaks to sit. I had a trainer who gave me the easiest strength training program ever just to keep me moving. 18 months later, I’m back to full workouts.
My good friend spent four or five years carefully replacing the grass in her yard with a beautiful mix of perennials. She sold her home & the minute the new owners moved in, they ripped them out & installed turf. It pains me every time I walk by. I’ll bet they wonder why they have no fireflies.
He doesn’t hold an office. He was not elected & holds an appointed position, where he does not answer to the public.
Better headline: Republicans refuse to fund FEMA, TSA and CISA during their DHS shutdown.
Wowza. No one will tip on services anymore because we can’t afford excessive sales tax plus a tip.
‘No tax on tips’ is a scam if no one pays tips.
I’m flying tomorrow (solo, thank goodness).
Did you have their pre-assigned seats, or open seating assigned at the airport?
I always paid for Earlybird, so I feel the seat assignment fee is essentially just a swap for the Earlybird fee that I also disliked.
So now a $25 haircut at Great Clips would actually cost $32.50 ($25 + 9% tax + 20% tip).
Love those super duper hidden costs that no one budgets for.
Was it harder than other airlines to get multiple seats together?
Iran conducted a cyberattack yesterday against Stryker, a US medtech company, disrupting supply chain & causing procedures to be rescheduled. The war is directly affecting all of us in the US.
Stryker makes commodity items for hospitals - pulse oximeters, blood pressure cuffs, IV poles….
He & his wife have undoubtedly made a lot of money in their crusade to deny women the right to make their own healthcare decisions.

I’m with you!
I also should go for a walk but no longer have a dog so don’t have to. It’s nice & cozy inside! Maybe I’ll just do a few yoga stretches instead.
One day I was working in an office every day.
Literally the next day I was working from home & only went back once to gather my things.
The workforce and our relationships have fundamentally shifted & will never completely go back to pre-pandemic situations.
Truly barbaric.
Definitely crimes against humanity.

You need this!
They are part of Meta.
I have no intentions of going there.

I had the extremely good fortune to see them as a bar band in Nashville, 1982.
Thanks for a bit more explanation, which was not at all clear from your post.
…..and?
Do you presume these buildings will fare better than other types of construction? If so, why?
What is ACM?
