Great story line. I love this game.

Doing respite care is badly needed to. (Short term stuff, like just taking the kid for the weekend)

That's why we don't choose to live in a place as beautiful as south Florida. I love visiting... normally in December when the weather is like a hot summer day from what I am used to. But you couldn't pay me enough to live there.

Is this really an achievement? Don't they just pay for them?

Popcorn is a bleve of the outer layer of the kernel. This is the same if you heat up a pressurized container of any kind until it fails.

There is no oxidation reduction reaction going on though, so no explosion.

I would even suggest reading the wikipedia article as a good place to start. It gives you an overview of the topic, lets you formulate questions you might have and want to research into (note them down), and then start with their sources but don't feel constrained by them.

You aren't the only thing that eats it. You are full of bacteria which CAN break down, but not in the same way your lactase does... it doesn't care that it spits out a bunch of byproduct gas. That gas causes inflammation in your gut and all the symptoms you are mentioning.

I was at first shocked at how low NM was... then I realized we are one of the highest for bilinguals overall. Don't need it in school if you are speaking multiple languages at home.

I could be wrong, but I think in general that space heaters are the most expensive way to heat. More than gas in most situations.

Obviously it depends on if you are heating the same amount of space, the relative efficiency of your specific situation, etc. etc... but as a general rule, space heaters are the most costly form of heating.

It depends who is on the hook for the cost. If the heat just runs up the electric and that is the renters responsibility, then the Landlord doesn't really have an incentive to care. If they replace it then the renter sees the savings, not them.

If the landlord is responsible for the costs... yeah, I bet they are all over it.

If they can afford the upfront costs. The poorest of the population and renters will still be living without these.

Poor guy, did no one tell him most 'christians' just lie and eat anyway so this type of thing doesn't happen and the miracle is 'proven'?

Fun fact: New Mexico is older than the country of Mexico. They were both named after a valley of Mexico down were present day Mexico City is.

That is exactly right. There is differences on how the permitting and such is done to access things on this side of the Texas/NM boarder, but they are pulling from the same "pool" if you will.

And this is why we are such a rich state. <checks stats> oh... wait...

In all seriousness this has caused a surplus with the state funds but things get all jacked up with how they can get spent or not. It is our local political fun apparently.

"Also... a greener economy is right on the horizon! Let's get big into oil!"

This is really it. It is more of a correction in work force sizes once the crazy growth and cheap loans of the pandemic stopped. Most of them are still well above their pre-pandemic staffing levels even if they are now laying off.

Throw in there getting your chimney cleaned if you EVER are going burn a fire in there. As it starts getting cold every year I run more and more chimney fires. Another spike right around Christmas from those who don't need it for heat but wanted the atmosphere.

She was a pedestrian hit by a car and in critical condition.

(GCS is a scale of responsiveness and a six is a really low score)

Correct. Intermediate or advanced, depending on the state, can do IVs and give broader range of drugs than a basic. Paramedic can give even more drugs and do more procedures.

My first extrication call as a FF/EMT was my best friends little sister. It is tough.

Soooo tired of all the Trump is a criminal stories... we know. None of it matters if we won't ever hold him accountable... it's not news until then.

4 pumps of flavor makes up 20% of the drink?

We ate a lot of paint chips as kids.
