We lost power since 1 am last night. Even though we’re in a major city, we won’t have it back till noon tomorrow.

A small shop couldn’t complete with a factory for something generic like shovels, it has to be custom stuff. I used to work at a metal shop that did that, till earlier this year, as a design technician on programming the cutter and press break.
My wife worked there, too, but the company hit financial troubles. She found a new job at a shop making ducting and delivering it. I ended up in a bakery for a couple of months.
People that work outdoors are far tougher than me!
I’ve been a food runner, a cashier, store support, retail systems technician, and done tradeshow setup all across the country. There’s a job fair at the Naval Shipyard in town that I’m hoping might have something I could do.

I’d rather work in an office than food-service or retail. A workshop would be good too, rather not on-site construction.

You know, if they: break into my house, eat my food, kill my livestock, and then when I get back they demand guest gifts, then they have violated the sacred laws of hospitality (ξενία) so badly that they deserve whatever they get!
And he still would have gotten away with it if he hadn’t yelled his name as a taunt on the way out!

They tried to move the stock with a two for one deal, but somehow it only made things worse!

It seems like people did. ‘The Plague’ and Contagion did very well.

- Comment on I have been to jail in the US. How come they always offer a bible instead of offering you different religious books like a quran? 2 months ago:
I guess scheduling for different days would be to difficult, but Saturday is the Jewish Sabbath (technically starting at night fall on Friday night) and Friday prayers are the most significant to Muslims.
I don’t know if other religions have other special days.

It means all causes collectively, not each and every cause individually.

It’s not a canary in the coal mine for censoring LGBT information and community, most of the proposed bills outright state that any LGBT related content is covered.

- Comment on What's the Best Non-Alcoholic Alternative to an Ice Cold Beer at the End of the Day? 1 year ago:
Non alcoholic beats have gotten so good with the proliferation of reverse osmosis distilling! The previous methods ruined it.
I’d like to try getting a small reverse osmosis pump such as for survival desalination, and try doing small batch dealcoholising for more variety of wine. I’m sober now and I’m grateful for my options, but I was really into exploring before.
