I have seen slum lords spend hundreds of thousands to avoid tens of thousands in septic repairs.

This totally tracks.

There is more than one right answer, which means there’s always a wrong answer to disqualify the target of prejudice from voting.

I played CK2 more than CK3, but mainly I recall a successful dynasty winds up being too desireable. It’s not about the blood relation, it’s about the… huge tracts of land!

So while you can control it somewhat within your own realm and dynasty, my reliable go-to strategy was always marry Lowborns with good traits. Let/hope the stats make up for lack of title and opinion hits.

I was literally gambling at that point. Though I honestly just wanted one so I could sell or trade for Juzam Djinns. All because I got absolutely wrecked by them at the little tourneys they held at the shop.

They shut down abruptly and I remember starting to go to other local shops and quickly learning they deserved to be closed.

I spent a lot of money on 4th edition because I was told there were still Black Lotus by the card shop owner.

Cracking MtG packs though… booster drafts were so much fun with a small group.

Reading ‘Idibiks’ slammed my brain into a PTKFGS wormhole all of a sudden.

Quarry spalls are much more irregular than bricks, so it’d be a much rougher edge. Sounds like the edgers are the desired product, so by all means that’s what mattera.

For the concrete edgers I’d just lay an inch or two of sand and tamp it down firm. A tamped sand foundation is much easier to set and keep level than your average soils, and better for drainage and seasonal shifts (freezing). You’ll be having to keep 80 concrete edgers straight and even instead of maybe 10 wood boards.

There shouldn’t be much to be done other than setting in the edgers in the space left from removing the wood, although honestly I think it looks fine as-is. But I am biased towards wood and stone over concrete.

On that note, the $3+ dollars per edger is painful to see. That adds up quick. Might I suggest something like quarry spalls as an alternative option? I don’t know if the idea would suit your tastes but if you have a large area to cover it might suit your budget. But like I said: biased.

When it reliably and effectively supplies things like housing and surplus resources people can get real used to the 9-5.

I feel like the reason there’s been a resurgance of posts rehashing this has to do with Zohran Mamdani winning a primary in the largest city in the United States. While being openly pro-palestinian AND using the Socialist word positively to boot.

If Harris had won it is highly plausible she would have endorsed Cuomo leading to Zohran’s loss.

Mamdani lends credibility to some of those 3rd party/non-voting/protest voters’ strategy.

I think this causes some… feelings.

A few of them I recognized from the one Sam Seder did. They’re social media influencers from what I gather. So lunatics with followings. Audiences.

The radio show I was listening to while driving this morning said that concert felt like a tribute except he was technically alive and present.

More than that: someone else contemplating ideas is something to silenced and stopped. It isn’t enough to just be a piece of shit: others must be kept shitty.

A state involving itself in wars of aggression found an excuse to crack down on public opposition of the war? Say it isn’t so!

That crowd let him go for so long before flagging him out. The dude who started to think that maybe Mehdi had a point got yanked real fast.

Nazi support got laughs and side eyes, the visage of learning and thought got immediate red flags.

Thought termination is more of a reflex to these right-wingers.

There was certainly no course change, which Uncommitted tried to promote as an option. It was an attempt to make a public appeal that genocide should be an issue worth making political decisions around.

The lesson the victors over Uncomitted demand is that genocide is not a political enough issue worth acting or voting on.

The term for the predominant political and economic theory implemented by American and European powers since the 1980s is just Russian propaganda now?

What the hell else is supposed to be used instead?

I was raised my a combo of east coast and mid west, but I’m PNW as well. It took me until my late twenties for anyone to call me out on ‘irregardless’ out here since that’s just what grandpa said to me.

I gotta ask around now. I had a few roommates that referred to them as a box that may be overrepresenting.

Maybe its a west coast thing. Although my spouse conveniently went out to buy berries from a stand, and referred to them as ‘thingies’ of strawberries, so maybe I’m just off on that. Colloquialisms and other such nomenclature isn’t as regional as they used to be I think.

Americans typically call clamshell containers a box, which is the predominate way berries are sold in grocery stores.

Fresher and farmstand berries often come in cardboard baskets. The boxes those baskets usually come in are usually called and sold as ‘flats’.
