I wasn't?

iirc, they have to start printing the ballots by early next week, to comply with deadlines in getting the early ballots out to voters in time. Fucking conservatives trying to run out the clock so that there isn't enough time [oops so sorry] to have the measure on the ballot.

If BBC Science Magazine was texting me at 1.29am to ask "Why do the British talk about the weather so much?", BBC Science Magazine and I would be having words - especially if they texted me six hours later to ask about plants!

Interestingly, that same CNBC report finds that households that earn less than $50,000 a year typically fall under that first category, less than $500 in checking. Those earning up to $75,000 have less than $5,000 in checking, while those households earning more than $200,000 have at least $10,000 in checking.

How is that interesting?! "Oh, hey, look at this! The people who make the least have the least in checking, while those who make the most have more!" wtf kind of revelation is that?

... dafuq's a wolf berry?

Por que no los dos?

If we stopped all shipments today, Israel still has enough weapons and ammo to continue their current spree for about 8 months. I say we cut them off and send these munitions to Ukraine instead.

Maybe French ketchup is different than American ketchup?

Pros: high protein food

Cons: makes a spoon dirty

Suggested improvements to recipe: note to thoroughly lick spoon clean, or use a finger to swipe up the peanut butter.

This is for people who might not have pasta sauce in their pantry, but most people will have ketchup in the fridge.

I got a Brother INKvestment Tank MFC-J4335DW. I think it was a Wirecutter pick. The ink is supposed to last for up to a year, it's a Brother so there's no fuckery, it does color and b+w, prints, copies, scans and faxes. Since my PC is old (Win7), I had a little difficulty setting it up, but it's worked perfectly ever since.

Pricing on that unit: you can find used and refurbished ones for about $120, but I hate buying used printers. After poking around the Internet a bit, I bought a new one online from Staples for $179.99 (which is MSRP). It's over the minimum limit, so I got free shipping; it showed up at my door the next day.

I have a Staples rewards account; they had an offer where you got 30% of your purchase price back in rewards points (you need to activate the offer first) [this offer is still available]. So they gave me 10680 points for that 30% reward, plus another 178 points for the purchase. I took the ink cartridges out of the old printer and gave them to Staples Recycling for another 100 points each. I also gave them my old printer to recycle (easier than taking it to the towns e-waste event every spring); they gave me another 500 points for that, plus 1000 points because it was my first time recycling tech with them.

In total, I got 12858 points, worth about $64 in store credit. Since I actually do use office supplies, I know I'll use the credit: for example, yesterday, I picked up 4 reams of printer paper for $3.74 each (though I do miss their back-to-school penny-paper week!).

Anyway, that's what I went with: the Brother MFC-J4335DW from Staples. YMMV.
