Common in Texas, or sometimes sliced longways and called Texas toothpicks.

They also need no qualifications. You can be any of those straight out of high school, theoretically.

It did happen in the small town where I grew up. Everyone hated the current Justice of the Peace, and an 18-year-old ran and won. He was in his late seventies when I was in high school and seemed like a good judge when I had to see him for a speeding ticket. He is dead now, but I always found it interesting how he just picked a career and did it the whole time. Never lost a race.

It’s just the color and black pepper that gave me that impression.

Chicken and dumplings is what I think, but the dumplings must be small

Not big enough

They do that in my rural area with ham radios on each end.

It turns out it sounds really old to call them emoticons.

It sucks from the top of the canister, but the inlet is in the side. The water falls down, and the air is sucked out to maintain vacuum.

I had a starter set as a kid and only glued them together, never actually played with anyone. Glad it stopped there.

Cut them in chunks before you boil if you’re going to rice them anyways. They take forever to boil whole.

Or the board game geek marketplace. I usually look up all the games the seller has listed to get a bit lower price on several and save on shipping.

And it holds you against lateral G force with the gussets, which isn’t necessary sitting still.

Split pea soup

Refried beans, or short burst to thicken bean pot

Protein shakes

I agree, and I’ve been run off the road on my bike too. I didn’t make up the thing people say. I’m not even a mariner.

In the ocean, this is called the law of gross tonnage. Don’t count on the tanker yielding to your sailboat.

Pasting from my reply to a PM I just received:

You need a client, provider, and nzb indexer.

I use SabNZBD, Eweka.nl, and nzbgeek. It’s about $70/yr or so for the two subscriptions.

You will configure the download client to use the provider for its connection, but the nzbs you download will tell your client which messages contain the files.

You can search the indexer and download files that way as if you were using a torrent site. But it is really smooth and easy to use with sonarr or radarr fetching things for you. In that case, you would configure those fetchers to log into the indexer to search then send the NZB to your client automatically.

.5 is not 25% of 4

Whenever that happens, no matter what, you end up getting stitches.

I’m all about piracy, but as another alternative, consider seeing if you can get a digital library card somewhere local or multiple and connect them to Libby to borrow books and audio books for 2 weeks at a time
