Thanks for the tip. I’m moving in less than two weeks so it doesn’t seem worth it for the current non-optimal dishwasher anyway. I actually don’t mind doing dishes by hand at this point in my life—I’m so used to it.

Meh. Every time I’ve lived in a house with a dishwasher, it leaves dried food all over the dishes. One washer clearly wasn’t using any water all. You could see baked detergent smears on the bottom of the washer & baked food on the dishes. So I just do it by hand in the first place. One and done.

Probably locations inherited from a chain they gobbled up. I worked for a short time at Thrifty’s while in college and was a proud member of UFCW. Thrifty’s was bought out by someone—I assume Walgreens, CVS, or Rite Aid, the only 3 drugstore chains left in the U.S.

He's trying to dance though. Did you watch the whole thing? he sways and keeps time with his hand placed where his heart should be. It comes across as somewhat awkward.

There actually is already a program to take the pressure off inadequately resourced law enforcement agencies. It's called COPS grants (cops.usdoj.gov/grants). It does not require militarizing daily life in America.

Don’t we already know where Republicans stand on this? Hasn’t that been made abundantly clear? Genuinely interested in an explanation of how we don’t already know (assuming there is one).

Agree 100%. So annoying to be editing a paper that uses hyphens for em dashes. I always fix it. But I think some of the ‘utes thin I’m being pedantic. Ah well, so it goes…

But how do you know how they pronounce it? Have you met them all and had it come up in conversation? And for your next one, can you do “People who insist on the #OxfordComma”? Thanks either way. 😄
