Whopper-chopper

@DisaffectedPod They reduced all these business hours but somehow went right back to JIT logistics after COVID revealed how stupid that is for key industries.

I *hate* what "Covid" did to "normal standards" for businesses. 6 years on, and the change is permanent. Everyone thinks it's "just normal, you know?" now like nothing is different. Where I live in New England, *all* 24 hour stores are no longer 24 hours. Not Walmart. Not the grocery. Not a single one of the eight or so convenience/gas stores. At least four used to stay open. None do now. The restaurants on Main St in a tourist town? 9 pm closing on Fridays and Saturdays. The entire town, and the surrounding area, closes down at 9 pm. Even on weekends. Even with tourists in town. The one grocery store in town? Used to close at midnight. Then it went back to 11 pm with hand drawn signs "sorry no staffing heart emoji". Then 10. Now it's down to 9 pm. Now that's normal. Even on Friday or Saturday. "Covid", somehow, I don't understand how it could still be this way, is the demarcator line. Somehow, 6 years later, businesses are still struggling to find staff. No business I've patronized has been fully staffed in six years-I'm serious. What is going on? How did all these people, who still exist and still have bills to pay, manage to find a way to not work, and they're still paying their bills? Better hope you never actually need anything in an emergency. -J

@nicksortor @KathyHochul None of this is surprising.

🚨 BREAKING: SHOOTING REPORTED IN TIMES SQUARE AMID KNICKS RIOTS Rioters are BLOCKING emergency vehicles from responding THE NATIONAL GUARD SHOULD’VE BEEN DEPLOYED YESTERDAY. WTF ARE YOU DOING, @KathyHochul?!

Here is my WRF sim initialized off the 12z EPS **NOT OFFICIAL OR FOR DECISION MAKING** This would be quite the scenario.

No

@jacktronprime ✋

Am I the only person on 𝕏 who doesn’t care about the Knicks?

@JackKelley_wx Happens to a lot of people on here.

Its going to take a while to gain everything back and unfortunately seems like I lost some trust in people because I feel like I’m in the wrong for getting manipulated into clicking a link when I shouldn’t have. But anyways enough negativity here’s the Unionville, MO tornado.

@TheSysX @tanpukunokami Interesting! I've seen a lot of negative comments about it over the years from various other countries.

@ProsectorPath @tanpukunokami In the Netherlands and Belgium, peanut butter (we call it "pindakaas") is absolutely huge and a staple food. Most people here grow up eating it daily on whole wheat or white bread, and you can find many options made with 100% peanuts and zero added sugar.

To everyone who found this post: What food from your country do foreigners judge before they truly understand it? Please don’t just scroll past this.

@Vincent_Ledvina Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door. Sweet view.

@EdMarkey It would destroy the economy, which I'm sure is your goal, so the government can own everything. Marxists...

A 5% tax on Elon’s net worth would fund every community health center in America for the next 26 years. I’ll say it again. Tax the rich.

@jacktogon We would become unimaginably insufferable. Even I can admit that.

Guys I’m deadass. Do not let us win the World Cup. I swear, we already took hockey, which we kinda care about, but most Americans didn’t even know the Soccer thing was happening. So if you let us win, you will never hear the end of it. That being said, USA! USA! USA! 🇺🇸

@_HMSP This sandwich is penance for being British.

Did it never occur to y’all to caramelize the onions, toast the bread, and melt the cheese?

@GavinDeVicePic Can't stop clicking. Don't have that kind of setup, though.

Save yourself before you get into this hobby

@FrankBr05713205 This. We need more of this.

I have a nice old neighbor that a while back lost his wife, then a short time later develop a blood clot and lost his right leg from the knee down. This made it difficult for him to do the two things he loves to do and that’s taking his fishing boat out to the lake and to drive his riding lawnmower around his big yard to cut the grass. The problem with launching his boat is he had to get his prosthetic leg into the water and it wasn’t supposed to be in the water. And the problem with his lawnmower is he had a hard time getting on and off of it with nothing to hold onto. So I built a removable ramp on the side of his trailer and he’s now able to launch his boat without getting his leg in the water. And to solve the lawnmower problem I fabricated a front hold handle for him to grab when he gets on and off of it. He is now a happy fisherman again and also able to cut his grass without help from anyone. Life is good.

@MustangMan_TX You waited too long.

Can we go ahead and start building a wall around Texas?

@UsingLyft Gary, Indiana.

Where do you guys think Elon is hiding that trillion dollars? No bank can fit that much money

@PettusWX Hm. I'm hoping it peters out before it gets this far...

Wednesday looks so nuts it doesn't even look real. Like bro its mid June in the Ohio Valley lol

@aestheticwabi Depends on what it's for, but I like Forest the best.

What's your favorite shade of nature?

@richphotoio Very nice.

@miya_pastel1 Nice work. Is the canvas/paper black?

@AuthorGFAllen Yes, unless the material is of terrible quality.

Does reading a lot naturally improve writing ability?
