Just this year I learnt you should carve out the top (stem) part. Apparently there’s some nutrients/water, magic, or something, left in it; and if you leave it uncut it will help the rest of the pumpkin look better for longer.

Cut out the bottom, or a hole in the back, instead.

Death penalty

On one hand, I don’t believe capital punishment has any place in civilized society.
On the other, there are some in-human people (serial killers mainly, but including e.g. CEOs who have caused thousands of deaths to increase profits), where it just seems a waste of everyone’s time, to lock them away in a cell for decades. Some people are just completely beyond rehabilitation, and if they are proven guilty with 99.9+% certainty, what’s the point of locking then up and waiting for old age to do the job?

The are all great, but tawdry is fantastic!

Rolls of the tongue, and we all come across several tawdry things/people in a given day.

I hate that “feature” so much. For a while it has used the speed of other’s phones for your ETA. As in, if everyone is doing 10-15 over the speed limit, you’re expected to go with the flow.
I don’t want a more accurate ETA. I want to arrive when it says I will if I follow all speed limits, and shave off a couple minutes if I am going faster than that.

Very tough situation, wish I had something helpful to share, but any chance you can nudge them towards well sourced, largely promoting critical thinking, but also entertaining videos?

I have always like GPS essentials for various other location tasks. While I have never used it, there’s a track mode under streams. Data can be exported in a handful of formats.

Sounds like doctors, clinics, hospitals, and many pharmacies + some schools.
If you’re having difficulties, your state’s department of health is responsible for the VFC program CDC.gov/…/vfc

Gen Z right-wing? Wikipedia could be wrong, but:

Generation Z is generally alike to Millennials on political and social issues.[5] Generation Z has been reported to be “progressive and pro-government”,[6] though this narrative has occasionally been challenged, particularly in Europe. The generation is largely in favor of LGBT rights, gender equality, and access to abortion. Economically, Generation Z has a more favorable outlook on socialism than previous generations. Gen Z varies largely by country on whether to make it easier for legal migrants to live and work in their home countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_views_of_Generation_Z#:~:text=Generation Z has been reported,equality%2C and access to abortion.

Depending on the chair and how you position your butt cheeks, you can sometimes sneak out a fart silently.

Lazy Chicken

1. Pour about a centimeter white rice in a baking dish. I prefer something a 20x30cm tempered glass one, but I’m sure you can use whatever.
2. Add frozen vegetables on top.
3. Dissolve a chicken broth cube hot or boiling water, pour into dish, add water to a bit above the rice.
4. Place frozen chicken legs on top, or whatever other frozen chicken pieces you’d like.
5. Generously season chicken.
6. Stick in oven for about an hour at 200°C.

You might need to add boiling water while it’s cooking, but after making it a couple times you’ll know about how much water is needed from the start.

In a lot of towns your only grocery option is Walmart, unless you wanna drive 1+ hours. In small towns/villages you might only have a dollar general within that distance. Large corporation slaughter small businesses when they move in.

Do not store your dirty underwear hermetically sealed! Stick it in a mesh or paper bag, something it can release the pent up humidity through; or you’ll get some really nasty laundry.

For Pokemon trainers, I’m no expert, but wouldn’t they just stick their clean clothes in one poke’ball & dirty laundry in another?

Looks an awful lot like Cnlinko LP12 (PDF) 2 pin connector. Ø12 also looks about right from your pictures.

You’re not outright wrong, but it’s really hard to have the rational discussion skills to cut through decades of propaganda. For the many deep in the right-ring bubble, brainwashing is a better term than mere propaganda.
