We still use tinsel, or do if we bother with a tree. But our tinsil is about 75 years old, and made of lead.
It's been a few years since we set up a tree.
Oh, and we use candles too, on a 100+ year old wind up tree base, that is silver plated.

I have a pre order in on a car with NO door handles at all. You literally knock on the side of the car with a series of knocks and the door opens.
This is NOT meant as a gimmick. The reason is sound, air resistance. The entire car is designed around efficiency. It is so efficient that it has less air resistance than just the side view mirrors on an F-150 truck. This requires no door handles.

Interesting. My experience as not a political party member is that I am shamed for not supporting the dems or repubs. I see every other party being called 'spoilers' or 'wasted votes.' It is never a complimentary discussion. I may be overly sensitive, I don't know. I find it almost impossible to be objective, so I could well be way off the mark.

I think part of the solution is to stop shaming people who vote for good. Sure, keep on shaming the guys who voted for a rapist fascist wannabe dictator, but praise those who vote for Stein and Nader.

300 watt Trina panels for $45 each on Marketplace. What do people think of this deal? I figure I need 8000 watts to keep my system (EG4 6000W inverter and 14KWH EG4 battery, ordering today) and the 525 Watt panels from San Tan would take up less space, but I have the space... But these on marketplace are 1/2 the cost (for 8K watts) and local.

I'm curious. Let's speculate that tre45on wins in a couple of weeks. Who will the Harris camp blame?
I will blame tre45onists about 60%, and Harris about 40%.
I feel Harris will blame Jill Stein, Cornell West, Bernie Sanders, Tim Walz, and RFK Jr specifically, and white men in general.
What do you think?

Yep, tied with Harris and tre45on for last at the moment...

In America we have a giant hardware store called Home Depot. (In Australia I think the closest equivalent would be Bunnings).

Also, if he calls for a replacement, when Biden loses, the world will blame him and other progressives. It is absolutly essential that he continue to support Biden, and take the loss to tre45on, for the future.

Who I vote for is no concern. In my state, that race is decided 10 years in advance. It's the 10 or so states where it is possible for either of the candidates to win in the EC that matters. And there, Biden is over. He has lost, and the logical thing to do, if you value a win, if toss him to the old folks home and pick Jon Stewart, Katie Porter, Al Franken, Al Gore... someone who can win still.

It's like the Dems are playing a deadly game of chicken.
