They're right off the interstate, typically at about the intervals you'd pit stop anyway, so convenience is a factor.

The food is pretty decent for fast food, tons of snack selection including lots of their house brand, at least a dozen flavors of their jerky. Prices are somewhere between grocery store and convenience store, but some of their house brand stuff is pretty competitive. They've got a lot of clothing and housewares, think like a cross between a Cracker Barrel and a Target. Gas is typically reasonable for the region in my experience, bathrooms are famously clean.

It's kind of the perfect spot to stop for gas on a trip: stretch your legs, pee, grab a hot sandwich, maybe some flavored popcorn to snack on later, grab a blanket with a big beaver face on it cuz the kid's trying to sleep in the back and you forgot to pack one. It's a true one stop shop.

Ducks. Masters of land, air, and water. Good ol' duck, nothing beats that

Clearly she wasn't referring to the office of Vice President, but was acknowledging that he was a president beset with numerous vices

Why should it? Why should anyone vote for a candidate with no political administration experience? Regardless of their stated positions, what evidence do voters have that any of the third party candidates have the skills necessary to execute the duties of the office effectively? Without progressives in Congress, how exactly is a progressive administration supposed to navigate gridlock better than the neo liberals?

With the exception of Donald Trump, every single US President previously served as a Senator, or Governor, or a Major General, or Secretary of State, or Director of the CIA, or something. Some kind of higher office to prove their fitness in a political administrative role.

If we want a progressive president, we need progressive members of Congress and State Governors. Not only so we have an experienced candidates to put forward, but by having a significant representation people will just psychologically consider a progressive candidate to actually be viable.

And if we want progressive Governors and Congresspeople, we need progressive mayors and County Commissioners and Attorneys General to pull from. And if we want those, we need progressive City Council members and School Board members and all the other local elected offices.

These third party candidates with no real political experience shooting straight for President are so counterproductive, it's difficult to imagine they're anything but bad faith, intentional spoilers.

There was a period of time in middle school where I was obsessed with Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Definitely not my favorite film anymore (not even my favorite Monty Python film), but since I don't really rewatch things nowadays it maintains its record.

Unless you count the one of the Disney movies my baby sister watched 3 times a day every day for months.

I use a smart alarm app. It uses your mic to track your breathing, and uses that information to identify when you're in deeper and lighter phases of sleep. You set a range of time for the alarm, and when it detects you coming out of a deep cycle it starts the alarm. I've always slept through alarms, and this works like a dream.

Yes, but different heat works with different flavors

She spent more time attacking Trump than she did answering the questions she was asked.

But those are blunders that Trump committed, not something that Harris should take credit for.

I don't think it's generous to conclude that many of those blunders can in fact be credited to Harris deliberately striking his ego.

I felt somewhat similarly about cream cheese in sushi, then I watched some video of a guy in Japan taking Americanized sushi to an old traditional sushi chef. When he liked the cream cheese, I unclutched my pearls a bit.

My wife puts the nearest hot sauce on everything. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate spice, but she has no regard for the flavor profile of the sauce or the food. Maybe your wife's the same. I've been slowly trying to get her to pair her spice sources thoughtfully.

Tabasco is a sup-par hot sauce for most pizzas. Red pepper flakes are best in my opinion, and pack plenty of heat and flavor. I had some serrano basil sauces that went great with pizza, which I think could be expected with any sauce featuring basil. If you're feeling fancy, Truff goes great on pizza too. If you're going to do Tabasco, at least do the smokey chipotle.

Different sauces taste different, and pair differently with different foods. Some flavors synergize with a dish, some overpower it, and some clash. I wouldn't say regular Tabasco necessarily clashes with pizza, but I think it usually overpowers the other notes. There are more delicious choices.

The squirrels in my backyard don't support genocide either, which by your logic makes them equally capable as Stein.

 

Let's kick off some activity here with a question:

How much crunch do you, personally, like in your games?

Ultra Lite? Lite? Basic Set? Every book you can get your hands on?

Light on combat, heavy on skills? Vice-versa? Light overall with some aspects way more fleshed-out? Heavy overall with some aspects way more simplified? Are there specific mechanics you like to take full advantage of? Mechanics you like to gloss over?

No wrong answers, let's just get some discussion going
