I cannot even make sense of the Obamacare comparison... do people really fall for this word vomit? Sad.

Exactly! Find a clearing and lay it out for a quick nap.

This 100%. Shakshuka is a beautiful and versatile dish. I love throwing whatever I can think of into it.

I've made it spicy with kimchi, adobo sauce, any hot sauce (truff is my favorite atm), etc.

I've used whatever cheese is in the fridge that week (Brie, manchego, gouda, etc). it's even better if you pair cream cheese chunks with whatever cheese you use.

Mix up whatever spices you want with it, or make it as simple as possible.

Shakshuka is great with Naan, toast of any kind (olive bread is my fav), hawaiian rolls, etc. Anything you can use to clean the bowl works well, you're going to want to!

The rad runner is 70+ lbs, while not necessarily heavy, it is cumbersome to move around when both tires are immovable from the wheel lock (through rear wheel) and folding lock (through front wheel, bike frame, & bike post). Where I live there is always a bike post conveniently located nearby to lock it to.

I have a rad runner, with it I use a wheel lock, long security chain which bolts into said wheel lock, and then a folding lock I use as well with all that. My hope is all that overkill'll just deter a thief entirely. If anything it'll buy time for me to catch them in the act and chase them away.

100% this. This fine should be increased hundred fold at the very least. In the real world someone would be held in contempt of court and jailed. Laws for the common man and piddly fines for the wealthy parasites of the world.

Nice to see he acknowledged he didn't win the 2020 elections again (see his use of the term reelection).

Hello my bat buds,

I'm considering building a few bat houses to mount on my house. A few of my neighbors have native gardens which draw a ton of insects for them to feed and hopefully the bats will help keep the mosquito population in check. I've heard that building a multi-unit bat house is best course of action to retain heat better and that it also can take a year + for bats to move in as well.

Has anyone built one themselves? Do you have occupants? How long did it take? Got any pics? Any tips?

Cheers friends!

I should mention, I included one resource of thousands available on the subject. Please, if you have a better resource, don't be afraid to post it! Just trying to generate interest in others to build more housing for these wonderful and necessary creatures!

Surfskating looks like tons of fun, I'd love to give it a shot. Would you have any recommendations on gear & research for anyone looking to get into it?
