@FiredUpCoug @danmccay Counterproposal: stop watering Kentucky Bluegrass lawns in Utah every day, and replace them with native species and xeriscaping.

@thogge School mascot update, they are now known as the Utah Unicorns. 🦄

@BradWitbeck Yes, 15-year old cars, clean driving records, good grades discounts, multi-car discount, car+house discount, and car-tracker discount.

But mostly 15-year old cars.

@DudespostingWs I sold a 19-year old kid a crappy Elantra. He offered $200 below my asking price. I had found out it might need new strut mounts to fix the alignment, so I countered $200 below *his* offer. He didn't understand, so his dad looked at him and said calmly, "You want to take it?" :)

@bcbaker66 @dgoates In German, that full-title-pluralization wouldn't work grammatically. The closest you might get would translate to "The Book of the Mormons," which is what some people over there call it anyway. 😆

@FiredUpCoug Get a good hose nozzle with a sharp jet stream and let the dog find out what happens whenever it enters your yard.

[Jon Kirkham @jonkirkham]

@FiredUpCoug First step is to talk to her about it politely and neighborly. If that doesn’t work, collect all the poop for a month and then redistribute it to her front yard. 😁

[Jon Kirkham @jonkirkham]

@FiredUpCoug @squints_winked I was surprised to see how much dog poop accumulates over the winter. You could collect it and return it to her yard, either in one big pile or scattered around for maximum fertilization. Really you’re doing her a favor. ;)

@sister_slay I love that image. Is it a real painting or AI?

[Jon Kirkham @jonkirkham]

@TabbClements It might not be core doctrine, but it was sure prophetic. And in light of that talk, the church's current financial status makes a lot more sense.

[Jon Kirkham @jonkirkham]

@TabbClements Pres. Hinckley, 1998, "get your house in order." And it's not even close. https://t.co/57Ps7Cixve

@iiTzz_Tyrell Not working is only half the commandment. The other half is to not make others work for you (manservant, maidservant, etc.). I avoid anything that intentionally causes me or others to work.

@Here_s_Hoping @TheUnderTiny I only truly understood the subjunctive mood in English after learning the intricacies of German grammar. You're not alone. :)

@NASAAdmin @SciGuySpace I'm loving the awareness, transparency, and communication from @NASAAdmin. Really impressive.

@thsottiaux This is what UX writers are for. Removing confusion and adding clarity. They could have fixed this before it was a problem.

@aakashgupta There was a country in Europe that famously built a wall to keep it's citizens from fleeing. It was a bad idea then, and it's a bad idea now.

@avidseries When I worked at a pizza place many years ago, the manager said I'd need to cover my beard with a mask. It was summer so I decided to shave instead. I wouldn't be surprised if at least part of these head coverings is related to standard food-safety practices.

@UncleMaui1983 Bonus round:
• Never drink calories. Water only.
• Don't eat after sundown.
• Weigh yourself every day at the same time, write it down, make small adjustments, look for long-term trends.

[Jon Kirkham @jonkirkham]

@UncleMaui1983 1. When you wake up, drink a cup of water.
2. Wait an hour to eat.
3. Eat fiber, protein, fat, refined carbs (in that order).
4. Avoid added sugars like the disease they are.
5. Go on a walk after eating.
Repeat and lose weight naturally. You've got this!
