It's literally that simple. There's zero argument it works any other way.

A banana texture raw vs a raw apple are very different. Toddlers need most of their food softened/chopped to small bites depending on teeth. No condescension but also just not the same thing at all.

Peanut butter can be made solely with blended peanuts. Hummus is rarely, if ever ime, made with only blended chickpeas and also requires some oil/tahini for even the basic texture.

Counterpoint is you can already legally build your own gun legally as long as it abides state and federal laws. These kits offer a safer diy experience than just throwing a 3d printed Glock clone together and hoping it works. Plenty of people have also built AR15 variants from "80% lowers" which require some diy milling and assembly. Having safe and tested diy options is likely a good thing for overall safety.

I don't know if they can adapt to resist diatomaceous earth in any way? It's one of the more common treatments and it just slices them up.

Yeah, it'd be nice if either party had even a shred of what he's showing but he's nowhere close to the all of the democratic party.

Fwiw in my loose reading on the topic the 40 hour workweek was basically caused by the previous UAW strike. It is feasible this happens again.

Been a landlord for almost 20 years. I've rebuilt some of these houses myself from an auctioned off unlivable disaster to a safe, clean, maintained property. To imply landlords don't work is such a narrow sighted view of reality. I got a glimpse during covid of an eviction moratorium a tenant that had quite a bit of hardship and I worked with her for 5 years pre-covid. Heating oil run out she couldn't afford I filled it out of pocket for her and her family. If she needed flexibility on rent timing I worked with her. When she snuck an untrained dog classified as an emotion support dog that chewed up the house's 70 year old woodwork stairs and balusters. I worked with her. When covid hit and the moratorium was about to go live her lease was up1 month prior. She ceased paying rent and utilities, I was informed I'd have to cover all her expenses during the moratorium. If she hadn't had that lease end right before this moratorium she would've continued staying there for free while I covered her family's entire housing and utilities. In the end my thanks for covering her and enforcing the lease end date was an entire house abandoned and full of trash and pest. Took my wife and I almost 2 months and close to $5000 to clean, repaint, repair/replace that property on top of the maintenance costs. This isn't a black and white situation..
Tldr, I guess: Evictions are a last resort for people who have had an agreement no longer be met by the other party. Should never have mad a moratorium on that legal process imo, it needed to have flexibility to help both parties not just shoulder 1 party with all the responsibility. The party is in extremely poor taste but I can understand their relief if they have similar tenants they can hopefully divest of after years of what my example held. I wouldn't have been able to do it for 3 years financially or mentally.

I do keto yearly to cut weight. Makes portions just very easy for me. For some quick fast food options in a pinch, McDonald's triple with cheese* sans bun (easy to order on mobile), extra pickles/lettuce. Chipotle/Moe's/Qdoba lots of options. I like a double meat salad with fajita veg, cheese, sour cream, salsa of choice, no rice/bean/corn salsa. Wings/salad at lots of pizza joints, verify they're not fried. Panera salads, just check the dressings. Greek restaurants usually have a nice selection of salad or grilled meat and veg options just nix the rice or bread.. and sadly hummus.

Supreme court doubtfully even needs to rule on this, Heller covers this already as you said. This won't stick.

Genuinely curious if you had someone smashing your window and trying to enter your house forcefully what your response would be.
