@GE_Appliances I’m on my THIRD dryer from you - the first two were defective upon delivery. The third has been here less than 6 months and has stopped drying. That’s what warranties are for right? Wrong it seems b/c the tech canceled the appointment and now won’t answer calls
@human_clickbait@buttforager Avid reader growing up and in my 20s. Social media and time on my phone have destroyed my attention span to the point that it’s incredibly hard to sit down and devour a book like I once did - basically only happens on vacation these days!
Democrats in North Carolina filed a bill to extend the voter registration deadline and allow absentee ballots a few more days to arrive in light of the devastation wrought by the hurricane. Republicans unilaterally voted it down-- even though western NC is one the most Republican-voting portions of the state.
10 simple facts about North Carolina/Helene:
1. Biden declared a national emergency on Friday
2. Biden declared a major disaster on Saturday, which means survivors can already apply for FEMA funds
3. There are 5,000+ national guardsman in North Carolina
4. The U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and U.S. Health and Human Services are all working throughout the region
5. Biden spoke to Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) who said he got "everything he asked for" from POTUS in Georgia.
6. Gov. Roy Cooper (D) asked Biden, Harris and Trump to stay out until rescue missions were complete for obvious reasons
7. Local groups and orgs typically lead the immediate relief efforts; the feds support with $$ and additional resources but are rarely the first to respond (again, for obvious reasons)
8. FEMA & local groups are shipping in food and supplies via truck, plane, and even freaking mules!
9. FEMA search and rescue teams are on the ground and have been for days
10. This website is full of people lying about 1-9.
@k_urb1 @AdrianaNicks @BravoKiloActual Because by and large, only men value those things! I’d rather you have interest and hobbies that you’re passionate about for some reason other than “getting girls”. Must be we’re “intimidated” - could never be just b/c we’re not nearly as impressed with your body as you are!
Here’s another chart showing the enormous difference in performance between the two Swiss lenders.
Back in 2010, Credit Suisse and UBS had a similar market capitalization. Now UBS’s is more than eight times bigger that of Credit Suisse https://t.co/dh1S3hOsHb
@evan_thayer@ElyKreimendahl Yep - I don’t mind paying a few cents extra to print postage on demand, especially if it’s not for a standard letter. But you have to pay for a subscription which is like $15-$20 and would make sense for no one that isn’t actively running a mail-intensive business
@BeardedKeith @ConcordNCPolice Sure, just make sure you step right over the body and try sure to not track blood anywhere so you can get back to your shopping!!
