At least half this list was "damn, I forgot I wasted time watching that crap"

Ik vind dat wel een goed idee, maar dan wel eerst even compenseren voor the laatste 50 jaar waarin de productiviteit steeg en de lonen niet.

But this is a trap. The further we all abandon the unspoken rules that keep things on the rails, the worse it gets.

The left: "we can't break decorum and unwritten rules, or the right will do it even worse!"

The right: does it even worse anyway.

One man's total disaster is another's gleeful happyness

I mean the reality was that the time "off" was spent farming their own land, taking care of animals, fixing the house and doing the insane number of household tasks that come with premodern living. Spend a few days just cooking in a medieval style, and you'll quickly realize it's a LOT of work.

Taverns kind of are a thing, they're just called hotels now.

Good news: take up subsistence farming, no healthcare, no electricity, and make everything yourself, and you too can have half the year "off".

Not so much the lack of direct trains, but the cost is what does it for me. For most destinstions in Europe, the train costs more than flying. It's only when you want to go somewhere far from an airport that it gets marginally cheaper, but youre still paying roughly equivalent prices for a much slower trip.

Except for Amsterdam London, which is somehow almost always cheaper by train.

They're all in the same colours, and the weapons looks tied off/non-pointy, so I'm assuming training.

Uhhh what makes you say that? It very much does, as a quick search for "nicotine resistance" will show you.

As a reenactor, it'll rust without rain too.

Stocker? At an Aldi???

The people in the first story are on a single SS payment, because the husband is 57. But the guy retired when he was 45.

Seriously, this is their own damn fault.

In her 12 years in the Senate, Shealy has made big impacts. Forty-eight of her bills have passed, including those that require a review of every suspicious child death, ban subminimum wages for people with disabilities and require the state to come up with a plan to deal with increasing cases of dementia. No senator has passed more legislation in recent years.

Sounds like she was pretty much doomed as a republican anyway.

I find the concept of a path not tread before kind of amusing. A path is only formed by repeatedly traveling it, that's how paths are formed.

But the message is great, and the poetry is awesome.

Hambrick had a long career in the manufacturing and hospitality industries but retired in the early 2010s with limited savings. Her husband has been caring for sick relatives for the past several years and doesn't have an income. Additionally, he's 57, and his Social Security check won't kick in until he's at least 62.

So they retired when he was 45ish, and now we're supposed to feel sorry for their poor choices? Out of all the bad stories in this article these two can go fuck themselves.

Wow perfect split, I didn't think that was actually possible

I always got apple juice when I was ill as a kid, and I was ill a lot. As a result I cant stand apple juice or cider, they taste like sick

Yes, that was indeed my point. It seems like you didn't understand I was agreeing with you (not everyone on the internet is trying to attack you).

It's lethally toxic in a few dozen milligrams, and this bottle contains (up to) tens of thousands milligrams.

I was pointing out it's an absolute nightmare they sold this to random people in stores to "spray fruit". The nightmare is only slightly tempered by my hope that "nicotine concentrate" might only be a small percentage pure nicotine.

And this is a 1 oz/28gram bottle, at 40% concentrate.

One can only hope this "nicotine concentrate" is itself not pure nicotine.
