You could go sturgeon spearing in Wisconsin. Cut a hole in the ice, stare at it while drinking for a week hoping a sturgeon swims past. Finally see one and have to guess which of the 3 sturgeon is the real one.

Your annoyance at them makes more sense then. I figured most buses had the front bike rack, as my small metro area buses have them.

Do buses in your area not have the bike rack on the front?

Just a couple days ago, thinking about my cat that I had to put down ~6 months ago. He was sick and in pain but I'm still sad about it.

I don't think you need to push yourself to cry. Everyone processes their emotions differently. For a long time I also didn't cry much/at all. I was very guarded about my emotions. Between getting older and my wife, whom I can be completely open with, I have gotten more emotional as I have gotten older.

Most of the expanding foams are not waterproof or water resistant. You have to paint or caulk over them to prevent them from absorbing the water

If your job/career is not enjoyable to you, you are in the wrong field for you. Life is too short to spend 40+ hours a week doing something you don't enjoy.

I'm an industrial electrician, specializing in troubleshooting. I have fun and enjoy my career ~80% of the time. (There is always office politics that are never fun). This is because I enjoy the problem solving process and that is why I got into this career.

If you aren't having some kind of fun at work, I suggest you do some self-reflection. What do you really want to do and what will bring you happiness? Life is too short and it is never too late for a career change.

The newer pesticides are designed to work as effectively as possible. Due to their effectiveness, a limited amount is required to be applied to the soil. The FDA approved organic pesticides aren't as effective. This requires additional applications and more being applied each time (vs the newer non-approved pesticides). More pesticides being applied means more runoff and possibility of contamination to streams and ground water. The soil can also be over saturated and be damaged by the increased concentration.

Thats really on whoever started saving them originally. Anything being saved like that should have a note attached stating why it is saved. I have some parts that need to be sent for repair and each of them has a note stating what is wrong, when it broke, and to contact me with questions.

I do a lot of casting from my desktop to the Chromecast connected to my TV. I have not been able to successfully cast from Firefox. I would love to find a solution though.

If you have the means to pay it off early, I would. It is worse for your credit score, but you will feel great not having that payment hanging around your neck. I can practically guarantee that you won't regret not having to make that payment each month.

I don't understand where the women opposed to this law are coming from. I am no fan of DeSantis, but this law makes sense to me (as it was reported). They divorced their spouse and at some point, should t they move on with their lives? Get a job instead of relying on alimony. What would their plan have been should the previous spouse die?

There's a lot of shitty "leather" belts that look great but fall apart rather quickly. I also tend to go through belts on my work pants, but I work construction and that is hard on the leather
