  1. Yep. And she's fucking smart
  2. X-post just listened to this pod today with Caroline Spears or Climate Cabinet. It's worth a listen imo. She and her organization are trying to "Moneyball" elections for candidates who are good on climate. They throw their money behind everyone from local water boards up to state legislature. Basically their goal is to find elections throughout the country where they can get the most bang for their buck. One of her talking points was being bipartisan, kinda. So they have looked through the way every candidate has voted in the last four years around the country. They graded their votes as how beneficial or detrimental it was to climate. They found 1000 Dems who received an A+ grade and 9 Rs. If they think the Rs are good on climate they give support them without advertising. She talks about how ridiculous Rs are on climate. Citing examples about them being against the ideas of 15minute cities. Meanwhile Dems who are good on climate also seem to be good on affordable housing, public transport etc. I'm going to donate to them. If you like the pod and want to as well here's their website. https://climatecabinet.org/

  4. He was a perfect RB
  5. Good job @NaTeWHO. Hope it works out for you and your family.
  6. I'm not so sure I shouldn't build our next house into the side of the hill.
  7. A lot of nights over the winter I leave our heater off unless it's gonna be really cold. Especially on the weekends. I sleep better but more importantly the kids sleep longer
  8. I told my wife, the 3 nights we lost power in the ice storm in 2021 was the best I had slept in years and probably since. I think it was 48 in the house and I was as snug as a bug in a rug.
  9. The scenery is wonderful. Hopefully it's not too big of a story to pull off
  10. Disney wants some mo
  11. I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made. -FDR
  12. What the fuck did you trade Jay Buhner for?
  13. Nansen seems to be a great hire so far. Now I just hope he can coach up the LBs
  14. Just finished this. 4 stars. I didn't know if I was going to like this one because I've read a couple of his NF books and they were meh. It seems he has some talent for fiction. Gets started quickly and then it's off. I appreciate that. He has some quirks that I don't care for but all in all it was a good read. Even if you don't care about the 100 Years War, which I don't. First in a trilogy. Started on this one. In an American Revolution mood.
