You might try Gavalia Traditional Roast. I think it's whole bean only. I sometimes get it when it's on sale and though I like darker roasts, the Gevalia is a nice change up that isn't lacking in flavor or body.

She, and many other like her, do these kinds of things because it is easy to come here and do that. Now, it is becoming more difficult to come here and do that. At the very least, she and her husband are about to spend a double butt load on lawyers.

I wonder if they've thought about the tax revenue implications of that move? State and locals make a lot of money by taxing nicotine addicts.

I hear different stories from back in the day. A man could skip town and there was no one to find him. However, the fear of being pregnant and abandoned probably helped keep it from happening as much.
re: My Dad/Mom were Silent Generation born (1937/39 births). Siblings Boomers. Me, Gen X...
Posted by CharlesUFarley on 8/2/26 at 8:58 pm to BWHLSU
My father served in WW2, so he counts as Greatest Generation (1926). He looked at his watch right after I graduated college in 1988 and said "My Daddy (that's the name he preferred so it's also what I called him) was born 100 years ago today". Later this year, I will do the same.
I am Gen X, I was on the leading edge (1965). I have three boomer siblings, they and their friends and classes were night and day compared us. Boomers, even as kids, were just way more social and made many more social things like school dances and parties work. We were cliquish, never came together, never really played in the reindeer games. My younger sister is also X.
My mother is silent generation (94 now, still kicking, still tries to rearrange all my furniture when she comes to my house). All of her siblings have departed, she is the last one.

Key word monument. There are laws against people climbing on monuments. I suspect that such laws would also apply to jumping into the reflecting pool.

I can't imagine how difficult it is to pay for a starter home these days when they start at over $200k.
In 1970, that was probably a 1500 sq ft house with no garage. Back then, 2000 sq ft was a big house. A few years earlier, it was 1300 sq ft with only one bathroom. That's what a starter house used to be.

Don't they have this guy on video in the pool? and didn't he claim that he entered the pool but didn't vandalize it?
Sounds like trespassing at the very least.

I think I misread your comment on Carriers for Japan in 1941.
One thing we will probably never know is how the various battleship philosophies would have impacted the outcome. The US battleship philosophy was never compromise protection for firepower or speed, while Japan embraced battle cruisers and the paper fleet concept, battleships with less armor and less weight to enhance speed or firepower.

The OP said second pilot but that was actually the gunner's position. Early in production, the radar operator used that position and the planes were deployed without a gunner because there was no top turret due to a shortage of parts and priority given to B-29's.
This would be a later version with the top turret and a gunner, radar operator in the rear.
The box the model came in shows them doing ground attack. I don't know if they were ever used for that. They were night fighters and used in the day towards the end of the war because of their radar.

Carriers were not a factor in World War 1. The OP question was could the US have fought a 2 theatre war in WW1 and the answer is yes.

Google Washington Naval Treaty of 1920.
The US lead the world in battleships at the time, and the US ability to develop and build ever larger and more powerful ships in numbers that no other country could match lead to the Washington Naval Treaty of 1920.
The short answer is yes. The long answer is yes, and it probably helped cause WW2 in the Pacific, which was probably inevitable anyway.

This is the 21st century, and we still install roofs using 17th century methods, except for the pneumatic nail gun.
It is high time that products were developed that would allow for automated installation, or perhaps factory installation on penalized products. They could probably even meet that 200 mph wind code and wouldn't be as constrained by factors such as weight.
Robots and automation show up for work every day too.
