I remember a while back saying that there was no fraud down ballot and I just wanna make it clear I was wrong. There was fraud down ballot. I think the reason so many GOP seats were gained was because the cheat wasn't big enough, they rushed and ended up having "ballots" that only had "votes" for the president and nothing else.

Unrelated to anything, but I sincerely wish that the computer memory industry did not round up. I get it's a difference between how the world counts & computers count, but the amount of bad reviews a perfectly good memory storage unit gets because the buyer feels "lied to" is outrageous.

Just advertise the actual amount! People would rather have an odd number than feel cheated!

I will say there's one advantage to living in a super dry place: if your dryer can't heat but can spin, you can actually put your clothes on a spin for a few hours and they'll naturally dry all by themselves. (I found this out trying to troubleshoot the dryer.)

Feeling a bit sorry for my landlord this week.

Last week there was a major leak under the sink that needed to be fixed and this week the provided clothes dryer stopped heating.

On the upside, these repairs are deductions he can make on his taxes at the end of the year. 😅

That warning was spot on.

The cause of the lack of water in Lake Mead is because of years of dry weather up north PAIRED WITH the lake water being exported to CA!

In a time of drought, exporting lake water out of the state is a terrible idea. The water feeds the dam. Without the water, the dam can't function.

DUH.

There would be no crisis if CA was energy & water independent!

But someone decided to depend on a DESERT TOWN to get both energy & water!

🤦‍♀️ 🤦‍♀️ 🤦‍♀️ 🤦‍♀️ 🤦‍♀️

In case anyone is wondering, there really is an energy crisis in the west. CA and NV get their power from the Hoover Dame. It's water levels are so low it's effecting energy output. If the energy was just being used by NV it'd be fine, but they outsourced the "excess" to CA. Except that they were told, when they did that initially, it wasn't sustainable. CA was too big, growing too fast & would need to use some other method to power their growing population.

There are no hard quantities because it's basically about how much you like any given ingredient.

I have discovered the secret to good fried rice: oyster sauce and a dash of sugar (or stevia).

My recipe:
Sesame oil + oil (any high heat, mild flavor)
Chopped onions + garlic (heat until it smells tasty)
(Add other veggies here)
Add rice (any kind, fresh or old), mix with onions/garlic.
Add soy sauce (liberally), stir
Add oyster sauce (moderately), stir
Add a dash of sugar/stevia/chemical substitute, stir
EAT
Use frozen veggies for extra Lazy Points (tastes just as good).

Hm, so what insanity will Democrats do Monday to scare the country?🧐🧐🧐

It's gonna have to be big to cover for least week.

Apparently there were Cuban protestors near Nellis AFB. Military was advised to wear civilian clothes for safety. Though I totally understand why Cuban Americans are angry at Biden, I don't quite understand why they're protesting at the base. The military has no control over how stupid Washington DC.

My cats infatuation with gnawing on my glasses at every opportunity & nibbling on my toes when he wants to be fed makes me think he'd definitely eat me if he were big enough to do so 😂😂😂😂
