Heads up for Americans, a US passport card satisfies the air travel requirement, but only domestically. You still need the actual book to fly internationally.

I’d just hate to see this dude get forgotten about. Like Trump and his goons don’t even acknowledge the situation, and just let it be lost amongst all the other bullshit.

Even then, most of California was predominantly Hispanic from the mid 1700s onward. When the Spaniards came to Baja California in the mid 1750s, they established 5 Franciscan missions in baja, along with 21 missions between San Diego and just north of the bay. They mixed with the indigenous population, who then became known as Californios. It wasn’t until white people started showing up just prior to and especially during the gold rush, with then California becoming a US state in 1850. Even then, it wasn’t until the late 1800s/early 1900s that California became predominantly white, and that was primarily due to the sheer number of white folks that moved west in such numbers that eclipsed the local Hispanic population.

I don’t know about y’all, but I haven’t felt represented my entire life. I’m just waiting to see an old wooden ship unloading some tea on a harbor dock and then it’s on like Donkey Kong.

That’s actually pretty clever in a real sadistic way

All of Southern California really.

My favorite is when dickhead white folks say they want “all the brown people to go back where they came from,” without the slightest clue that they were here first, and then they get real pissy when you point that fact out.

Just checked my DW and yup, sure enough, it is connected to the hot line. I was thinking of the refer line. I’ll be honest I never really put much thought into it and now I feel silly.

I actually am American lol. I’m an electrician by trade, so I was thinking more in terms of the equipment on board of the DW itself, but this is much more logical now that I think about it. I let plumbers do their thing and avoid installing/servicing appliances for customers (although I did just pull a 24" hair snake out of my shower drain this morning, smelled wonderful).

I’m assuming dishwashers have their own water heater (if at all) since you typically only connect to the cold supply line? And they can’t be that powerful as they are fed from a regular 120v line and only draw maybe 7-10 amps, which includes the jet pump.

Edit: I assumed wrong

Hey now, 1995 will always be 10 years ago. Always.

Or waiting for the plumber

What in the ass backwards Ricky Bobby done got here

I’d swear they’re testing the limits how what they can get away with. It’s only a matter of time before they start detaining and imprisoning US citizens under the guise of terrorism or something just for speaking out against the orange fuhrer and Elmo.

That’s kind of where I’m at. I really just want quality in terms of goods, and for theat reason I’m more inclined to shop at an actual store as opposed to online just to get something in my hands to feel out, as well as a good warranty for higher prices items. I’ve been trying to support smaller businesses since most of the stuff at box box stores is generally disposable crap anyway, it just depends on the item. But like the other guy said, I’m not spending a whole lot these days since disposable income isn’t really much of a thing anymore.

It got better.

Lab grown meat turned me into a newt

I’ll work 60-70 hour weeks in the summer, but it’s my own company and it’s our busy season. This allows me to work 20 hrs/week in the winter and not stress. My guys can work OT all they want, but it isn’t mandatory.

“How many hydraulic levers you need?”

“All of them”

“How many hydraulic-driven pieces of equipment does your rig have?”

“Mind your own business”

I’m doing my damndest to boycott Amazon outright out of principle. I still have to order work-related items occasionally (small remote town, options are limited for speed of delivery), but other than that they haven’t really been getting much out ofe the past few weeks.

Of course not, the bias is strong.

Every right leaning person I’ve talked with about this claims “unparalleled transparency” with these guys. What, a bunch of self written social media posts? Full transparency would be detailed reporting that would also we’d have the ability to verify via a third party. What these guys are doing is the equivalent of, “trust me, bro.”
