That's interesting, because I was diagnosed with hemochromatosis last year, and I go to the local blood donation center and bloodlet every 4 weeks. They don't consider it a standard donation, but a therapeutic phlebotomy. But both my blood doctor and the donation center state that my blood is still used as if it were a donation, and I don't pay anything.

I wonder why there's a difference.

When we got my wife a card, they took her photo for her own card.

Our use of that term is a hot dog wrapped in biscuit, similar idea.

This is a science community. Flip flops would be considered Not Safe For Work in a literal meaning for those with science related occupations.

We had one labeled "tv"

When we took ownership, there was no TV in the house, but not even a wall mount or evidence an old mount.

A Microsoft Flight Simulator game but for cars.

I just wanna drive around the world and see shit I can't otherwise see, but in real time drives. I got the inspiration from those Trucker Simulator games.

We're almost there with Street View and satellite images, and the developer could do hand-modeling for certain cities and landmarks like MS FS does.

Bundle up in front of resistive space heaters?

Usually, when the temps are too cold for Heat Pumps to work super effectively, they still work a bit, just not enough to fully keep up with demand. So you could absolutely use resistive space heaters to supplement, not be sole heat source.

This is what I'm using as a general label maker and like it. It can be a bit wasteful of tape, but all of them are and the tape is cheap enough too so I don't fret.

Because he knows what you're doing with that c-note, you degenerate.

I got like $550 from the Illinois Facebook biometrics lawsuit, largest I ever got. Helped find my new pellet grill.

But most of them are a couple bucks. It only takes a couple minutes of my time usually, so I might as well get that "free" money.

My favorite one was Red Bull's "wings" lawsuit. Had the option of getting a small dollar amount or a 4 pack of Red Bulls (which I loved the irony). The 4 pack was greater value than the cash, so I took that.
