A bunch of junior enlisted that'd rather be wasted than be on duty, you're going to get the smoke. It's more fun than cleaning the motor pool.

Not smart with Trump.

I don't think everyone realizes how much Obama completely fricked up the globe with the "red line" in Syria he didn't do shite about. It kicked off shite in the Middle East, empowered Iran (even before he gave them billions), encouraged the Chinese to take Hong Kong during Trump's first term, etc.

We did an all inclusive on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica at a Marriott resort. We did zip lining, and a lot of time chilling at the resort.

Another option is Roatan in Honduras; we went kayaking in the ocean, and there is a scuba scene on the Southern half of the island. It was a VRBO style, but there are condos and I assume all inclusives there. Roatan is fairly flat compared to Costa Rica, though.

Both are direct flights from Houston, at least.
Truenutriion allows you to blend proteins at whatever ratio you want. I got a custom blend, and the "grains" are extremely tiny. Although I've never had problems with Molk, the TN is probably the easiest mixing protein I've ever used, if that matters. I like your idea of going flavorless and juicing it with real vanilla extract, etc.

I have two Anker USB-C hubs, one for my travel bag, and one for the home laptop.

I'm fortunate in that I bought it before it went subscription based. It's useful, but everyone these days wants tech to figure out that they're paying for multiple Paramount+ subscriptions, they don't want to do the work to look for it themselves. Much better to let Rocketmoney scrape all your transaction data to give you a "free" product. :lol:

Trying to involve us men

Most men end up paying for all the shite 2 and 3rd time parents don't need, and should be paying for themselves. Women shouldn't need an excuse to get drunk and share charcuterie, leave the gifts out of it.

I was sleeping on the bathroom floor for two days.

I got it for the first time in my life in my late 40s. I was able to get about seven minutes of sleep during each round of vomiting into the kitchen sink after destroying the toilet. Also two days. It was the onion issue with McDonalds.

Comcast email and Outlook

That's not Outlook's fault. I use Outlook (full fat client, not the shitty new one,) and connect it to three different Outlook addresses as well as a Yahoo mailbox.

Try Thunderbird for a few weeks, I'm sure you'll recreate the issue.
I use Jocko Molk to make vanilla ice cream base, tastes great in a shake too, but for that I prefer mixing banana/strawberry or cookies and cream.
Most people against the death penalty (when older) are just aware of how corrupt the government machine is, in everything. In this case, government ineptitude will get the guy life in prison instead of the jab.

They'll turn a county blue, but not much else. They tend to cluster together (think Broward in Florida.) The Californians that infected Texas seem to spread themselves around.

"Southern white trash thing".

It's a trash thing. 15 year old Mexican girls do it for their quince. They're mostly Mexican and central American, but this is how "macho" dads create Toxicas and Tortas. So it isn't just trashy white people.

At 40, I went to trade school to get "certified" in what I had already been doing for 20 years.

Nobody I knew had the experience to tell me being an electrician ($4k to get journeyman, for the entire course, vs 4k for ONE MBA class) wasn't about being in an attic for the rest of your life, it was about learning enough to have other people in your trucks to be in attics. I'd have been making twice as much.

Find someone selling their business, get an SBA loan, don't be an a-hole, and profit. :cheers:

Realize that they do this shite at quinceaneras too. Embarrassing as shite to think you let a honeymoon and wedding be planned with going into massive debt, and your only salvation is begging people for money to get out of debt within 5 years over it.
