Thanks for the info. I’m stoked that they didn’t get buried by the lawsuit. They employ a lot of people in my community and their Chilipeño chips are the bomb!

I just noticed the Juantonitos instead of Juanitas thing in the store tonight. And I felt like I was being gaslit. Like a Bearenstien bears gag. When did that happen? I would have thought I would have heard about it because they’ve got a factory in the next town over.

If someone made half a million a year I’d say they were rich… half a million in total assets would just mean you own a home and might have something saved for retirement.

I’m not saying that it’s poor, and I know that there’s a good chunk of America that’s “worth” less than like 10k, and probably a good number of people who are in the negative, but half a million isn’t fabulously rich.

Half a million is within reach for people who didn’t start out dirt poor, got an education, and a professional gig. I say this as someone who would be worth less than 10k if I didn’t inherit my home. A lot of people’s Net Worth Includes things that they can essentially never turn into actual money, but it still acts as a money saving asset.

I can’t speak for all of them, but the I5 border station near the Oregon border hasn’t even been manned in several years. This gal is so full of shit.

I can’t speak to that, though I tried to look them up and find out but there are just a couple of articles from a year ago. But they basically just joined a much larger union of 50k+ actors and stage workers. I imagine they’re making headway.

In a win for unionizing sex work (albeit in a different form than prostitution), a group of strippers in a Portland Oregon strip club have unionized!

In the video you linked, he mentions Doug Linker’s video on making a wood spirit, and I recommend going and watching that one too.

Here it is!

I checked out phyphox and it’s so cool. Gonna show this to my wife who is a high school science teacher. Young students love running experiments like these. When you give a curious mind a tool to measure the world with, and set them loose, good things happen. Thanks!

I definitely did growing up in elementary school. Every morning, during the school wide announcements, the principle or whoever was talking on the PA system would recite the pledge and students were pretty much expected to stand and put one hand on their chest and at least listen if not recite it.

It seemed to taper off in my middle school years, and basically only ever happened at football games once I was in high-school.

This is all in a fairly blue area of a generally pretty blue state.
