Oh, this really small obscure town next to my parent's tiny obscure town has a great retro furniture store with a town of nice mid century stuff at reasonable prices.
If I were you I'd try there. Other than that, it's fast fashion for furniture, and I hate it so much.
Shit, apologies. I see the W now.
As far as I know, pegging isn't mandatory, and Janesville is not the KKK capitol of Illinois. Benton had a klan rally in the 90's, though I don't know how it was received.
I don't play games, but I recently tried to get this one going for my wife on steam. I ended up getting it to work, but not through steam. She really likes the game, even just the base model that's free.
I think there is also a lot of modding that's done, so you could put those in.
The issue I hit was that it also requires the EA app, and I got frustrated putting it on Linux so I just got a cracked version, which came with a ton of the DLC's. Like, some 74 of them and every expansion.
She says it's a lot of options to choose from, but works fine after some tweaking.
Interesting, hard to tell from this, but was this racialized or most focused on the "loss of citizenship and therefore national heritage" part? Wonder what their feelings would have been on some Italian that was born in Germany. It's hard for me to imagine caring about my own national heritage that much, but I guess it's possible someone did.
What a stark contrast this draws with something like Stalin's Marxism and the National Question:
"But this is not the case with an organization on the basis of nationalities. When the workers are organized according to nationality they isolate themselves within their national shells, fenced off from each other by organizational barriers. The stress is laid not on what is common to the workers but on what distinguishes them from each other. In this type of organization the worker is primarily a member of his nation: a Jew, a Pole, and so on. It is not surprising that national federalism in organization inculcates in the workers a spirit of national seclusion."
Yeah, when I got my degree, the coding aspect of it became much easier as time went on. The math and shit gets more complex, and whatnot, but after getting some kind of base of understanding, it was easier.
Now I've been doing it professionally for years and can consistently Google how to instantiate arrays in a variety of languages with success.
There are a couple threads here you can check out about books, I'll throw some less explicit ones.
Real young: click clack moo: cows that type. Just a bunch of cows going on strike with chickens. We have A is for Activist, but my kids never liked it much, for whatever reason.
A little older I'd say the Tiffany Aching series by Terry Pratchett. Just a great depiction of witches and helping people, etc.
Hunger games is good. Some nice leftist dog whistles, that or I read too much into it.
Jack London books as well, would be for a little older. Always at least vaguely leftist.
were cleared by police and volunteers
How and why does someone volunteer for this? Hopefully this means some type of aid organization?
What a genuinely strange thing to read.
And that's people that drug their asses out in negative temps to caucus. I'm assuming turnout was very low. I had very little knowledge that they were still really doing a Republican primary.
So this is probably just the strangest subset of people that felt compelled to do this.
My interview for an internship that became my first developer job, for sure. It wasn't a traditionally "technical" interview, meaning it wasn't the latest trivia ever. They looked over my resume, and asked me technical questions about what I had done, decisions I made for projects, etc. The team just didn't believe in staring at people trying to code on a whiteboard.
Got the offer within about an hour and didn't have to interview to sign on permanently. I have subsequently always refused interviews where salary range wasn't disclosed up front, and if I talk to a recruiter, I have always asked for contact information for a dev on the team.
But, that's the advantage of having a job I don't need to leave, and having experience. I've heard much worse from others.
Violating zoning laws, is the charge I guess? What a cruel thing. The churches around me (tiny, tiny town, no shelters) operate as unofficial overnight warming and cooling places, as they call it. There is nowhere else for miles and miles.
It's probably useful to differentiate between Amish and Mennonite here. Mennonites I know use mad technology for business, including planes. The Mennonite homes I've been in (not many, but a couple), did not have electricity in them, and had root cellars, oil lamps, etc.
An Amish dude did some windows for me and I didn't see any vehicles at his home, and used hand tools, near as I could tell. But idk, this probably changes so much between different communities and shit. Every time I go to town to get groceries, I see Mennonites in aldi. I don't believe I've seen Amish there. The only interactions I've had with the Amish I had to drive to them.
Always slightly uncomfortable.
Well said. I live close to some Amish and a ton of old order Mennonites. I've seen one too many children's stools in front of rocket stoves and suspiciously young girls with babies.
Generally seem to provide for the other members of their community, but the organization of that community isn't great. And that's what I know about them, which is little given how insular they are.
I did have a sit down meeting with a Mennonite business owner about doing a website for his company, which was one of the strangest encounters of my life.
No electricity in their homes, but I guess for businesses they break that rule?
My father is a massive ex-convict hillbilly. He basically looks like a pro wrestling bad guy in the presteroids era, although he's certainly not a stranger to steroids. But he's a rough person.
One thing I find really endearing about him is that he gets such a kick out of those like really funny flamboyant gay guys. Like, he asked me one time, "you ever seen that drag queen show? It's hilarious."
I guess just the archetypes make it funnier, always a surprise.
So unfortunate. Sorry, comrade. Hopefully you still have fun holidays.
Kind of fascinating, but I suppose it makes sense. I'm not very up to date, but I think the ufc still has pretty shitty pay and total compensation, in a way other pro us sports don't.
So, I guess most stellar athletic talent in this country goes on to some other higher paid sport, like how so many talented heavyweight wrestlers just go to the NFL.
As a way to leverage this, you train your lesser athletic talent for promos to generate some heat and sell tickets. Makes sense from a business point of view.
This really made me laugh, lmao. I'm going to start asking my currently pregnant wife this, haha!
"have I caused a pregnancy?", I ask very normal as it's so normal to say.
Okay, great. Some options, at least. Thanks!
