Depends on the jurisdiction. I got a decent severence and was still eligible for unemployment in WA state USA.

To be fair, it’s really hard to get your hands on a human mummy to eat nowadays.

Would I be able to post my nudes there?

Sorry about your cars, y’all

We’re fortunate our utility (Puget Sound Energy) will give us rebates for DIY improvements as well.

We installed a heat pump and got money back from the state and the feds.

It definitely makes sense to evaluate electricity costs. It’s unfortunately expensive to get a heat pump in some places.

Where we live, the Seattle metro area, it was a huge cost savings to get our heat pump.

Crunch the numbers and make sure it makes financial sense.

We love our heat pump!

We did a DIY install a few years ago. Cost about $4500 in total for a Bosch 18k BTU unit and everything needed to install it.

We got $900 back from the state (WA USA) and $2000 back from the feds. That brought our total out of pocket down to $1600.

We had electric resistive heat and no AC previously. Our heating bill went down by $50/month in the winter. It added maybe $10/month in the summer for air conditioning.

For our area, with mild winters and low electricity costs, it’s fucking amazing.

Don’t sully the good name of President Camacho!

He was a good man who helped his people the best way he knew how.

Are you interested in fixing things? Do you have any aptitude for it?

Repairing and maintaining machinery can pay well and be very rewarding.

Depending on the sector you work in, you can also be helping the ecosystem.

Damn, I can’t wait til she’s legal!

Glad to hear that old-school opioids are still being produced.

Really impressive that F9 is taking on Gore like this. They’re a famously vindictive and litigious company.

I haven’t checked, but I’m guessing EVERYTHING he says about Gore Tex is an easily provable fact.

If it wasn’t, Gore would sue fortnine.ca off the surface of the earth

Because prohibition doesn’t work. We tried it with alcohol, it didn’t work. We’ve tried it with most other drugs for decades, it didn’t work.

Prohibition just creates a black market for whatever drug is banned. The drug will still be available. It will also be adulterated and untested for purity.

If they were banned, cigarettes would become more like modern heroin. The contents of them would be unknown. In addition to the harms of tobacco, there would be the harms of whatever adulterants the black market sellers put into them.

Instead of dying over the course of decades of consumption, the smokers of Black Market cigarettes would also potentially be dying immediately from whatever random stuff people put in the cigarettes.

We had a good run

Diablo 2 Resurrected. Rolling a new character as Sony decided I needed to pay for online access to play my other character.

Fuck that. I only do single player. I’ll just make a new one!

Same here. Biden has given me hope they actually will.

Instead of the usual Dem capitulation to shitty R demands, he’s told them to get stuffed.

This seems unprecedented in modern history.

We have an inequality problem masking as a gun problem. We have a mental health crisis masking as gun problem.

Hard agree. People would not be killing themselves in droves if these issues weren’t present.

We have a shitload of guns in this country. Nothing is going to change that.

While I think we do need more strict gun ownership laws, they’re not going to change the amount already in people’s hands. Nor will they make people less miserable.

What we need are tangible improvements in people’s lives. Improved wages. Lower housing costs. Affordable healthcare. Quality, free treatment for addiction.

These are the things that will keep people from killing themselves.

I am in a similar situation with my guns. I have two antique long guns. They’re locked up, in the crawl space, and I don’t keep any ammo in my house.

I have depression and I don’t trust myself not to use my guns to kill myself. For me, the inconvenience of accessing them and obtaining ammo feels like a safe compromise.

I agree that this is an enormous problem with no easy solutions.
