Asked about working with the president, Schumer told reporters, "We’ll see if he will actually change his ways and join.”

That’s all he said, according to this opinion piece.

Where we’re going we won’t need polls.

It’s only 25% counted, and probably mostly blue counties with that big a disparity. Once it’s 90%+ then celebrate or start biting your nails.

“Someone said something dumb. Read our article about how Twitter reacts!”

I can’t wait until this form of “journalism” is dead.

Hand powered drain auger. This isn’t exactly a quality of life enhancer but it’s one that new homeowners probably won’t buy right away. It is one of those items where you pray you’ll never need it and thank whatever deity you want that you do when you do.

Other enhancers: automatic occupancy light switches if appropriate for your home setup. We have them on garage stairs for safety reasons so we dont have to reach for switches while carrying things.

Good task lighting. I have a second switch in the garage for high output lighting when I need it to be bright as daylight inside while working on the car etc. And bright under counter lighting in the kitchen for cooking or entertaining.

Don’t feed the trolls. When you argue with a troll, you are entering a competition to see who has more free time. You will lose, because you have a life and the troll does not. Do not EVER respond to trolls.

I’ve been saying this about Trump since 2014. Shame nobody followed that advice up to this point, and likely never will.

They really need to have someone review those; there are numerous errors that frankly make it hard to follow. How hard is it to pay an intern $100 to listen to the audio and correct the machine transcript? Ugh.

The Brave Little Toaster dream scene for sure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEdZh8a4ZvE

Don’t pass funding bills, up to and including a government shutdown, to halt the war financially.

People are calling them chicken already, buy few seem to recall the last shutdown - longest ever - didn’t materially stop anything, either, as everything else is deprived of money to the priority of defense.

Yet another mastabatory dogpile on dems. Not that it’s undeserved, but I fail to understand what this achieves other than perpetuating animosity.

Citric acid is better than vinegar in this application. Chemically it’s 3 times more powerful. A couple cups of crystals in an empty cleaning cycle is better than filling the while machine with undiluted vinegar.

Step one: clean the machine. Just like you wouldn’t expect to be clean using a dirty bath or dishes in a dirty sink you won’t get clean clothes in a filthy washer. Options are 2+ cups citric acid crystals or a commercial product based on oxy (sodium percarbonate) run using a self-cleaning mode or full wash at max temperate for max duration. It may take several cycles depending how bad it is. Note: citric acid does not create suds. If you get a lot of suds in an otherwise empty load then that’s the citric acid removing residual detergent. Repeat till you don’t get suds.

Step two: clean your clothes. If they smell musty straight out of the wash then they’re not getting cleaned in the wash. Use the hottest setting the clothing care tag allows, wash for the longest time the machine is capable of, and add extra rinses. For chemistry, use high quality detergents (Tide, Persil, others depending where you live), add a booster product with enzymes (varies on country: Biz if US, Resolve Gold if Canada, Vanish down under), and add a tbsp of citric acid in the final rinse (not in the wash!) Avoid fabric softeners as the can contribute to the stinky buildup in the textiles you’re trying to remove.

This is incorrect. One guy raised an objection, which the state department can and probably will ignore.
