Heh, one of my friends is like that too, she wont go anywhere without her giant pit bull. So since I got my new kitties we had to move the drinking to her place.

I just checked Wiki and it looks like the entire lander will parachute/rocket to the surface and then deploy the rover.

According to the weather forecast that Im looking at right now, between 22-28 Feb, the high temperatures for the day (in my area) will be 34/41/39/34/39/40/43F. Why is this noteworthy? Because it is above freezing and due to the hella amounts of snow that we have on the ground the news channels are warning of flooding due to the snowmelt. Now I could walk down a few flights of stairs and check the operation of my sump pump, or I could do absolutely nothing at all to prepare for possible water intrusion. One of these actions can potentially prevent problems, while the other will allow me the opportunity to immediately whine into the internet the minute my service are restored. Hmm, what to do, what to do? 🤔

Tis just a pet peeve of mine when people do piss all to prepare for or work through a situation and then whine piteously about how enough isnt be done for them. Moronic excuses flowing like the finest whiskey.

I cant help but wonder if the same clowns beleaguered souls also didnt have space in their home/money to stock up during the Covid lockdown. Probably had to wipe their fanny with their own socks? Pehaps we could sell Texas back to Mexico, and Alaska back to Russia, and use those funds for some sweet sweet UBI. You know who can afford a bag of rice and 10 gallons of water? Thats right, people on UBI.

Sorry, you lost me at "get up and move the plug". Kidding aside, they start at around 3k and go up from there. What is the price range of your idea?

That reminds me, Ive always wanted one of those backup generators that runs on NG and is permanently wired into the home. It even turns itself on when it senses a power outage. But alas, Im cheap and my utilities almost never go out. Even when they do its measured in minutes, not hours/days.

Wowweewowwow. Even though Im a miser (the furnace is set to 68 in the winter and the AC to 76 in the summer) none of my utilities would come anywhere near that, maybe on average $175.00/month for each. I got a ~$300 natural gas bill one winter month a few years ago and that almost made me clutch my chest. My water bill is combined with my sewer bill and its ridiculously low, around $40/month. Ive got no complaints about utility prices.- Politics... World events
I feel like Im reading it wrong again, your electricity bill is really 1500 euro? Do you mean 150?- What You've Done Today - As the World Turns
Sorry to hear that uuuhhii. Maybe you can find a mobile game for your phone/tablet to hold you over?- Politics US Edition (2021-vol 2)
Can you elaborate on this? How did giving monies to only those in need of social security amount to more than giving everyone 1k UBI? Do German citizens have to pay into a health insurance fund?- Obituary thread

I prefer the apartments as shown in The Fifth Element. Seriously though, having stayed in a Japanese hotel, I could totally live in a two room dwelling if I had to. Replace the two seat couch that was in there with a small kitchen and youre all set.- Politics US Edition (2021-vol 2)
You know what would really crater property values AND fix the homeless situation? Bumpods. Bumpods as far as the eye can see. Maybe we could even stack them like in a honeycomb. Otherwise, I suppose those apartments and houses should be seized from their rightful owners and given away in a blow to fatcats everywhere.- Military Thread: Humanity Hanging from a Cross of Iron
