Which Air is that? I just looked at the current m5 Air, entry level everything is $1099 USD, i am guessing the one you saw was an older model.

It is $599 + tax for me in Yankee Doodle land.

We are not 100% on her age, but we adopted her in July 2016. And we were told she was 3-4 then. The person we adopted her from had rescued her from his neighbor, who supposedly has her papers, but I have never seen them.

Usually it is more fanned out, but not too unlike this.
- Comment on Why are some people like this? 2 weeks ago:
I think most people who describe themselves in a positive way in general are using it as a facade. I am an ally, I do my best at it, but I am a cis het male born in the 70s raised in a rural farming community. I make mistakes in the things I say, and I as such I only ever say I do my best to be an ally, because I know inevitably I will make a mistake, but I do my best to learn from those mistakes and never make them again.
Think of the hippie/punk comparison, hippies look friendly and welcoming, but are some of the meanest, most judgmental people. While punks look mean and gruff, but are some of the nicest most welcoming people.

I use Morning Star Farms, it is not truly a block.

I basically only used it to separate slices of vegan bacon. 20 seconds was enough to defrost 2 slices on the top and bottom, but leave the rest of the block frozen.

A many years ago we replaced all of our microwave scorched containers with glass snapware and banned plastics from the microwave. Then the microwave died two years ago and we have not bothered to replace it.

- Comment on YSK Your smoke detectors should be replaced every 7-10 years 3 weeks ago:
New ones had the same pigtail as the old one (both were Kiddie brand), but I did have one I had to rewire. As far as I can tell, they do not have a dedicated circuit, so I had to shut down the entire house.

It was a space heater, I had it on a timer (we had no heating in that part of the house) and I thought I had turned it off. My laundry pile was too close to the heater, it ignited the laundry which caused the can to rupture.
The fire was isolated to my room, and my dad and I got it extinguished before the fire department arrived. We lived 20 miles outside town.
I forget what the exact cause was listed as in the report, but it was not the same as the actual cause.

RIP. Please get at least one.

As I mentioned in another comment, I almost died in a house fire. I had an aerosol can in a pile of clothes that caught fire from a heater, that can exploded and woke me. Otherwise I would have slept through the fire.
Your comment hits me really hard (I am sure not as hard as being on scene where they did not have detectors). But reading some of the dismissive comments I was starting to think I was over reacting, you assured me I was not.

My hardwired detector was $73 for 1.

The instructions in the box (who reads those right?) says to test monthly.

Maybe, if it is made past a certain date. Mine in the image, from 2005, did not.

I was looking at one of those when I was buying new detectors.
- Comment on YSK Your smoke detectors should be replaced every 7-10 years 3 weeks ago:
Decades ago i survived a house only because I had left an empty aerosol can of mousse in a pile of clothes. That pile started burning and caused the can to explode and wake me. Otherwise the fire would have consumed me as well.

The closest detector to the kitchen was in a bed room.
There had been a different detector in the living room but had gotten knocked down a while ago and broke (and never replaced), it was not on the interlink system, and when the other detectors would go off while cooking the one in the living room would not.
As you can see from my image, the detectors I replaced were from 2005, and needed replacing for quite some time.

ALSO sorry about my users spamming posts here! The community creation screen has a checkbox that automatically creates a post her when a community is created. I’ll make a post about it so people are aware.
Making a post will not do much, you may want to disable it totally, or the very least have it disabled by default.
