Or just tattoo a number on their arm.

Keep in mind, every accusation is either a confession or a plan or both.

Last outage we had, one of the first things I did was take a hot shower. Our water heater is electric and if it became extended I might not get another chance.

Let’s make bets on how many rounds!

I totally agree it’s a job best done by someone without any emotional ties.

I also realize that “the bank/the city” means “some secondary cleaning contractor” which means “some probably-undocumented immigrants,” i.e. another vital service which could be impacted by the Trump Purge.

A child!

Meanwhile we’re trying 10 year olds as adults…

Good point although I was thinking more generally in terms of the sheer quantity of hoarded material. Every episode of Taggart and Midsomer Murders and Housewives… Grandma’s hoard might be even more unwieldy

Oh God this is going to become the new “clearing away all grandpa’s old Playboys and VHS tapes and newspapers,” isn’t it?

Appreciate your leaving one of them so as not to ruin my comment! (Not a sir, though. Retired schoolmarm here.)

Soooo… With 2 already-wealthy men getting paid for doing the one job, outside of the official government, it’s actually the Department of Not-Really Government Redundancies and Grift, isn’t it?

And since the only good reason to make the error would be to invite another pedant into the conversation, I’m finding this whole little sidethread very satisfactory.

Learning where his house is would take no effort as he’s been so thoroughly doxxed even I saw his address and I’m basically that meme of the old lady peering at the screen through my granny-glasses.

A perfect alpha male, frightened to death at a woman saying “Hello” while he’s still in the safety of his house. Compare that to the women who ovary up and keep going while they’re being catcalled, or make the potentially life-threatening decision to say either yes or no to a strange man in a bar.

I think the only way he wouldn’t is if everyone saw him shoot Trump. Otherwise it’s automatic
