        I just keep seeing the expressions of the inevitability of it all and it's maddening. -- nm - Qale Aug 2, 09:47 2
        
        the fact that Smith didn’t charge any of the co-conspirators (yet) and brought this one in DC indicates to me it’s the one he wants to rocket docket - hollywood big shot Aug 2, 09:59
        
        it is very much indeed maddening. (Im surprised as any at how easily (and quickly) fascism could grow here) - Jovian Aug 2, 09:56

- As someone who knows absolutely nothing about TMNT will I also enjoy it (granted I won't get the in jokes or references)? -- nm - LMS Aug 2, 08:16 1

Jamaica eliminated *checks notes* Brazil and is on to the knockout stage -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 2, 07:36 1
- That’s surprising since Brazil was solid in the past few cycles and were actually putting in the effort. - Will Hunting Aug 2, 07:38
I finally got the doctor's office mistaken prescription situation put right. Moving from Lexapro to Cymbalta seems like more than a small difference. - Qale Aug 2, 07:34 9
- Definitely be over communicative. It takes time to find the right medication. I know they want to do what’s best but you also need to advocate… - Dark Callisto 🦊 Aug 2, 09:32 2
  - right, it's so hard but if it isn't the right match, speak up. -- nm - Andie Aug 2, 09:34 1

- Good. Did you get your Direct Deposit thing figured out? -- nm - Spawn Aug 2, 08:11 1

  - (and yes, Id rather see space exploration held back 50 years then for Elon to succeed in it) -- nm - Jovian Aug 2, 07:34 1
    - Hate to break it to you but a Falcon Heavy recently placed the heaviest (to date) communication satellite into Geo Sync orbit - JD Aug 2, 08:51
So the line of defense Im hearing from the Right already (on tv and radio) is Jack Smith has no case because DJT believes he won the election and - Jovian Aug 2, 07:25 9
- It can't be bank robbery if you believed that the money was yours. Amiriggt, don't even get me started. -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 2, 10:35

- even a subjective belief that you won an election doesn't then give you the right to subvert it by breaking election laws -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 2, 07:29 2
  - yep, but this is all that I've heard from the right since 7pm yesterday. - Jovian Aug 2, 07:32 1
    - Because it's all they have. Ignore it. Open and shut, he's going down for this and for the documents. -- nm - rollo 🐙 Aug 2, 07:49
Well crap. I was watering the grass a little around the side of house with the hose. I hit the mulch that goes around the house and there were black - sycor Aug 2, 07:20 11
- It's natural and you see it in mulch all the time -- nm - decline Aug 2, 08:37 1
  - Makes sense. My parents had pine straw growing up. Last house I did rock. First time really having mulch to notice it. - sycor Aug 2, 08:52
- That's nature breaking down the mulch into soil. Nothing to worry about. -- nm - TWuG Aug 2, 07:50 2
  - That's kind of what I'm gathering. Thanks for the confirmation. I panicked for a bit. I don't want mold in my new house! -- nm - sycor Aug 2, 07:55 1
    - And we don't want your house in our new mold! -- nm - Mold Aug 2, 08:31
- i don't think that's too bad. If they are mushrooms, that's usually a sign of healthy soil. -- nm - Andie Aug 2, 07:26 1
  - Not mushrooms. Looked like a couple patches of mold. Google seems to think it's okay and I shouldn't worry about it though. -- nm - sycor Aug 2, 07:32
- widows and they were angry and they came swarming out. -- nm - Mop🧹 Aug 2, 07:23 1
  - Welp, burning down the house if that's the case. But I don't think so, it was puffs like a cloud in the air. No crawling that I saw. -- nm - sycor Aug 2, 07:24
- The weird part is that it's been pretty dry here the last couple weeks considering. And that side of the house gets lots of sun. -- nm - sycor Aug 2, 07:21 1
  - Our ground gets so dry that even dirt powders and puffs when hit w8th water direct from hose...use a wand with gentle rain shower head -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 2, 10:39
Either A) don't open your stock portfolio or B) go on a buying spree. Fitch downgraded us - Pippy Quintas Aug 2, 07:16 7

- unfortunately it works like The Box. for every one she cashes in on, someone out in the world has to die -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 2, 07:15 2
  - You shouldn't talk about Andie's box like that. -- nm - Qale Aug 2, 07:40 1
    - which, ironically, also works the same way -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 2, 08:26
- No one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself. -- nm - Bari Seldon Aug 2, 07:14
