We got in on on our house in early 2016 and the price of real estate in our area increased by 20% while we were in escrow.

Our house has more than doubled in price since then but if we had fallen out of escrow, we would not have been able to buy anything anywhere near our jobs/preferred city (and my partner and I have a combined income north of 150k/year).

Shit is crazy these days

PERC

Perchloroethylene (aka tetrachloroethene) is a completely non-polar compound, so, yes, it is a dry liquid.

I would tend to disagree with the Cambridge example, because liquids can be dry. "Dry" liquids are anhydrous, meaning they've been treated to remove any water.

Source: Am chemist and I teach O-Chem, which frequently uses dry solvents, like anhydrous acetone.

It gets used as the in-house chat client at my place of employment. I work in a rural area in an old building so cell service is spotty at best, so it's handy to be able to shoot a chat to anyone instead of an email or walking over to their office.

Plus, admitting that God cannot create light without dark or good without evil means admitting God is not omnipotent.

Me too. I was really wondering what sort of interview this was.

Not, you're thinking of Deadshot. A deadlock is a Scottish body of water that has been polluted to the point that no life exists in the lake.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

That's a good point. I'm familiar with the concept, but didn't realize it had been formalized so distinctly, so I suppose you're right.

It's interesting, though, because one would think that's there's always going to be a balancing act between wanting to make your message more well known and wanting to keep it unadulterated.

Knowing those two, they probably love the irony of a corporation paying money to use RTJ's anti-capitalistic, transgressive songs in an ad, let alone a brand like Cadillac.

But hey, it's "ju$t" money

As someone who lives in this same town, black bears are more like overweight raccoons.

Fun fact, our "city hall" is at the tiny community airport, which also had a restaurant with the best chicken wings in town (salt and vinegar wings FTW). The restaurant was still going when this happened in 2019, so my guess is the bear smelled the food and went looking for the kitchen, only to get sidetracked by the city council meeting.

Not OP, but mine was really pretty manageable. 2 days of sitting in an easy chair and icing my balls, 2 days of "walking is fine, but avoid any sudden movements," and a week of "it's a little sore, but it doesn't really hurt." After that, it was about 2-3 weeks where I didn't really notice it unless I moved the wrong way too suddenly (whereupon I'd get a quick twinge, but nothing too bad).

Really a pretty small cost for the benefits. I don't really like painkillers, but I do recommend some THC gummies for the first week and a fresh series to binge
