@nascarcasm Everyone distracted by Ryan's mustache but that adams apple is a weapon

When your uncle who once appeared in an episode of "Miami Vice" playing the character listed in the credits as "Hoodlum No. 4" and your uncle that's a barista at Barnes & Noble show up at your house for Thanksgiving

Ariel's first mistake was wanting to be where the people are

@benshapiro This is completely backwards. Propaganda is overwhelmingly used in FAVOR of war in order to justify and promote it.

On the show today: Are you suffering from loss of sleep, ideological bloat, and brain cramps over the war in Iran? You may have Iran Propaganda Syndrome… and you may have caught it from your favorite podcaster or Democratic politician. We’ll break it all down. Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=c5FXdk…

I hate this war because I love my country

Unquestioning support for the Iran War is a luxury belief.

Mitch McConnell jumped out of that wheelchair mighty fast when the opportunity arose to send more working class Americans to war. What a miraculous recovery.

To everyone who wrote “stay cool” in my high school yearbook I have some devastating news

No. If this turns you off, get wrecked.

What parenting books don’t tell you is that your child’s social life depends on how much you can tolerate the other parents

I burned the bacon to a blackened char a few days ago and my family is still not over it.

@bethanyshondark It gave me horrible weird dreams. I had to stop taking it or go insane.

The magnesium at bedtime thing turned out not to be hype *at all.*

Who is clearing off these yard lines. This looks like big trouble on a heart monitor.

@HelenaJ99755120 @mattvanswol The point was that someone might see themselves outside of the pink area of this particular map and think they're in the clear

@YellowBumbleB @mattvanswol Wet snow in places that don't get it more than 1 time every 5 years isn't exactly a cake walk.

If you live in highlighted bands, but especially in the purple/pink... you need to start preparing for an intense winter storm right now. I did not head the warnings of many people before Hurricane Helene and we were caught totally unprepared. Do not make the same mistakes I did. Please start preparing for extreme cold and no power for at least a few days, right now. I have not commented on this until more professionals have weighed in, but this winter weather looks like it could be really bad and I'd rather you start preparing now, before the huge rush for supplies. Things I recommend: a) A gas or propane generator of some kind with plenty of fuel b) I personally own an Ecoflow battery with lots of solar (useless in winter storms). I use the gas generator to charge the battery and then use the battery to divide out power based on usage to my devices. c) Propane heater (BuddyHeater), I helped give out hundreds of these during the winter after Helene and they are amazing. If you can get your hands on an indoor rated one, ESPECIALLY if you don't have gas heat, these are so useful. d) A Starlink Mini for internet connection. This could save your life... plug this into the aforementioned battery or gas generator. e) Water + a way to make more, fill a few jugs and you'll thank yourself later. This was the one thing I did before Helene and that was HUGE. f) Food that doesn't require power, such as canned soups, peanut butter, jerky, etc. g) Blankets, blankets, blankets... sleeping bags are also awesome but wool socks, hats gloves, all are very useful. h) Light... especially if you aren't going to get a generator, this is very important, a NOAA radio with a crank or solar sometimes also acts as a light and you should get one today. Headlamps are great or lanterns and charge them now. i) Some random things people forget... - Carbon monoxide detector (especially if you’re using any generator/heater) - Fire extinguisher - First aid kit + any meds you need for 7–10 days. - Car prep: fill the tank now and get ice scrapers, but don't go on the road unless necessary - NEVER EVER EVER run a gas generator inside or in the garage... please, Carbon Monoxide will kill you. That's all I got for you, don't panic, just be prepared.
