Neither have I. Sure I wipe the wall if I accidentally splatter coffee (like today, argh) or smash a bug on it. But mine are pretty smooth and the dust can only be a thin layer before it falls off. Thirty years later they’re still white.

Yay! My cat bravely pounced at (safely inside the glass door) and startled away a pair of these today! So brave!

I’m thinking about getting one, you want to share the brand?

They get away with both, and plenty more

The amount of water used for the first item would be enough to clean all of them, but your method requires fresh rinse water for each, even if you have a sinkful of suds sitting (and getting cold) while you work.

Does he? The Republican majority in the Senate is 53-47 right now. McConnell holds the seat but can’t show up to vote on anything. He also can’t participate in his committees. He’s not an asset, he’s a hindrance to Republican goals. A Special Election would likely result in a fresh new young Republican who could move the evil agenda forward and who’d then be the incumbent for the next 40 years. Unless you think there’s such a groundswell of Democratic Socialism in Kentucky that you could flip the seat, but I have doubts.

Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah!!! 🧛

All the more reason to vote for it

Show us how it’s made, Picture Picture!

Data centers misestimated lied about their carbon footprint. Also about their consumption of resources

Sounds like a lot of precious water going down the drain, again and again.

He’d accumulated this pile during 2 years at this site, so he’s left similar messes in several other places. And he’s got a long history of careless fires, like leaving them burning, even at the height of fire season. And he’s got an SUV, so it’s not like he couldn’t have taken his trash out.

"The trash consisted of tires, plastic bags. trash bags, aluminum cans and other items of trash. I observed a canopy structure for his sport utility vehicle. The canopy structure was being utilized as a car port.”

Gatz, who is 65 years-old, according to public records, also had a fireplace with “active embers and a cooking station with 10-12 frying pans,” as well as “[d]ebris [that] consisted of three ladders, six to eight totes overfilled with debris… five black 55-gallon drums… eight tires, four bike frames, five gallons of motor oil, plywood, and other miscellaneous lumber around the campsite,”

That’s not necessary stuff, it’s a wildfire waiting to happen.

Oh hi again, I commented on your other post. Good on you, sealing the house and with your solar fridge setup. This other commenter knows their stuff. See if you can find out more about whether your home experienced heat from the fire (spot fires in your yard would be a clue that hot winds blew through) or not. And because your whole area was affected, your local and state government will probably have helpful resources and information so tap into that. Be aware that you may see animals (wild or pets) displaced by the fires. I live near the Pacific Palisades but was luckily upwind and got no real damage and I’m still getting visits to my feeder from wild birds and squirrels that don’t usually come into human areas.

You can’t park there, mate

Do you know what kind of birds they are?

The base on that tree is too small to support it when leapt on by a full-grown cat. Which is what cat trees are for. It’s not Astrid’s fault she’s no longer a kitten.

Trump pardoned everyone for Jan. 6, and he’s the Despot In Chief. Will be forever, with the help of Patriot Front. They’re his personal army.

Larry can smell the truffles. That’s why he digs in the clean ground. Don’t wanna accidentally touch one of those!

I don’t know about your cats but mine have shown no interest in wet laundry, or dirty laundry, only fresh warm dry laundry. But since my building’s laundry room is in the basement I don’t really have experience with having a machine in the house.

When I had kids I would fold the laundry down there, for a few quiet moments of feeling organized. Now I bring it up immediately and chirrup as I dump it on the spare bed so the cats can enjoy it first.
