Hell, Mitt Romney was the two term governor of Massachusetts which I don't think has voted for a Republican president since 84.

Governor is the position most directly targeted by real estate development for various unpleasant things. I suspect this factors heavily into the tendency for competent-but-horribly-corrupt developer-proximate R governors (and similar D ones).

Dems hold a 90% majority in both houses of the state legislature.

Florida is dominated by Republicans in state government, has a Republican governor, and 2 Republican senators. We've only went blue on the presidential vote 4 times out of the last 12. But yeah, total battleground swing state.

We're still doing take out and actually making a decent amount of tips off it, and my boss is being really chill about making sure that we can still get our $600. There's a lot of napkin math going on for how much exactly we can make and still get it, but so far so good. Who would have thought MO of all places would be doing well on this. Honestly I'm making about as much as I did before the shutdown but for 12 hours a week tops, I hope everything goes back to normal soon for everyone else's sake but for now I'm living the agoraphobic hermit dream.

Can't hurt to ask, though They had all the ingredients but still said no. Cashier lady did not understand social distancing even though they had a table specifically for that. She just wouldn't back away and I was too flustered to ask. At least we both had masks.

Just filter it through a fine-mesh sieve once it's cooled, store in a sealed container then reuse the oil the next time you want to make it.

I'm having a hard time imagining anything that they'd both want to control and be able to actually monitor - posting on social media, maybe? I guess I could see drug use/testing but most restaurants won't want to deal with the hassle and expense of that (not to mention  at finding a full staff that won't routinely fail).

To be fair, my boss told him to unfollow me if it bothered him. Tried to tell me to be careful about what I posted, but that... yeah.

I had my boss (who is honestly a great person, and I work for her company because of how she generally treats her staff/lets me treat the staff and all the good she does for the community) message me at 11pm the other night asking me to come in the next morning. I've been laid off for 5 weeks. When I didn't reply to her until noon the next day, she gave me poo poo for not looking at my phone for over 12 hours. I just laughed.

I haven't seen too many examples of justifiable homicide before but I think no jury on earth would ever convict this woman. AITA for “banning” my husband from the kitchen until he learns to respect my equipment? quote:I love to cook, I’ve been cooking since I was a little kid. I have some good cooking equipment that reflects that fact. My husband decided that he was going to start cooking as well, which I was all for. But he started cooking in the kitchen and damaging my equipment. A non-comprehensive list:

Some people just don't think about kitchen equipment that way. My wife is similar, but rather than fighting about it I just keep a cheap non stick skillet and a couple oxo knives for her to use. She's more than happy with using them instead of listening to me whinge about my cast iron seasoning. I also make sure to replace the non stick whenever it's getting run down and keep the knives as sharp as they'll get.

She's more than happy with using them instead of listening to me whinge about my cast iron seasoning. And this is the difference. I lived with a GF for a couple years like this, and we agreed on the exact same solution so she wouldn't worry about banging up my nice stuff, but she could still cook once or twice a week. In this case it sounds like the guy is just an rear end in a top hat or there are other unresolved issues since he continues to do it after being asked not to.
