A quick Google search says that an expat usually only lives in a new place for a limited period of time. An immigrant moves to a new place with intent to settle.

Whether that’s how it’s used colloquially is another matter…

In my state

Is it the state of Chaos?

Yeah, I definitely remember when they started showing things I didn’t ask for, and I thought “I don’t like that”, but I stuck around because I could ignore posts I didn’t care about.

It took a little while, but I eventually started to play “how far can I scroll before I get something I didn’t ask for?”

Shortly after that, I realized I actually had to start playing “how far until I get something I did ask for?”.

Once I realized that, I cut back significantly. I still go from time to time when I’m stuck waiting in line or something, but it broke my daily habit. I miss what it used to be, but I certainly don’t miss what it is.

How do you define “compete”?

Here they are on opposite corners of the same intersection.

Sure, that’s only one example, but I’m not sure how well I can Google “Kroger near an [Albertsons|Randalls|Safeway]” to find a list.

My phone has the ability to disable Amber alerts separately from most other emergency alerts, but this one went out as an “Extreme threat” alert, and it feels unwise to disable those.

Maybe the fact that a potentially dangerous person exists 7 hours away from me shouldn’t be classified as an extreme threat?

Aside from blocking everything, is there something we can do to get these reclassified, or at least make them regional?

The transition from analog to digital really hurt my desire to watch OTA TV (you caught me! I’m not under 25).

With analog broadcast, any weak signal or interference produced a little bit of static, but you could still see and hear what was being said. With digital, any weak signal means dropped frames and silence or weird glitches. You completely lose what’s happening. Even with a powered antenna, I have frequent issues with weak signal. I could probably try to get a rooftop antenna installed, but there’s no guarantee it would be any better. It’s just easier to find other entertainment at this point.

I’m holding out until closer to Halloween, both because of the holiday, and also because I don’t want to catch up to the release wall.

“Roe v. Wade is settled law. They just use the issue to rile up their base. They’d never overturn it!” and other lies we tell ourselves…

Keep in mind that many red states have attempted to essentially ban online porn with their overbearing age-verification laws. A savvy internet user would be less likely to pick an exit node in a red state, given the choice.

As a hydrocarbon enthusiast, I’m going to have to say it’s not really optional.

Congrats! What was uncomfortable about previous shoes, and what did you finally settle on?

Squirm.

Mister Beardsley!?

I don’t see how her choice to decline the invitation would affect her career. Not going seems like a non-issue that will barely even enter public discourse.

If she had gone and protested, she might have been dropped by her label (I don’t know how progressive Island Records is). Even then, the “no such thing as bad press” axiom might have worked in her favor. It seems like her fan base is pretty fervent, meaning she would likely be attractive to another label.

I often lean forward while running. It’s a bad habit that I never really had a reason to break. Then I tried running on an unpowered treadmill that has a curve to the platform (something like this). If I lean forward while running on it, it just keeps going faster, and I have a bad time.

I noticed that as soon as I corrected my form, the treadmill became a much more pleasant experience. If you run on one of those enough, I’m sure you’ll make a habit of running with better form.

The plaintiffs say that failing to list the individual proposed changes to the charter did not give the public sufficient notice of what might be discussed or put on the ballot, thus violating the Open Meetings Act.

Well, this is the first I’m hearing about any of it, so that at least seems plausible. Where is everyone getting their local election information from these days? I usually check vote411.org when I know an election is coming up, but they don’t have anything for November’s election yet.

Edit: spelling

What kind of running/training are you doing? Slow & steady, HIIT? I’d love to make those kind of VO2Max gains!
