This is where your eye for detail catches you. I've never seen a contractor maintain a yard when they're working on a house. The contract only covers their ass, it doesn't mean they give a shit.
I purchased a corded mower at the same time you were evaluating energy sources for yours. Trust me when I say that you dodged a bullet. Managing the electrical cord was a huge PITA, and I sliced and had to splice it twice despite being (I think) pretty careful.
Battery powered mowers are definitely not equal. The Makita model I got is uh... expensive. But it runs through my 1/3 acre lot on a single set of batteries (10 AH) and can store 20 AH onboard. It does this partially by dynamically ramping blade speed, but also having two blades and using a brushless motor.
I use the same battery system with my handheld tools and all my yard stuff, along with my children's modified PowerWheels. I wasn't sure how the 36v system would work, but I'm sold.

Quite frankly a Greyhound is as simple as it gets, but incredibly good with the right grapefruit and vodka.
If I can tolerate something sweeter that day, a Painkiller is something worth buying ingredients for. Homemade hurricanes are superior to the Bourbon Street product - combine with mail order mulfalettas and conecuh-jambalaya for the best time.
As other people have mentioned, an Old Fashioned is an excellent drink - it's what my grandpa would have every day after work. I use fresh black cherries over maraschinos and skip the sugar.
It's not my go-to cocktail but the best one I've had in the past five years was "Naked on a Plane". Impossible to get at the average home bar, but I may make it my signature: Lemon twist and a frozen raspberry with mezcal, Yellow Chartreuse, and a combination of Amari, Aperol and Nonino.

I typically really disagree with your posts, but I think you've done a better job putting together evidence here FWIW.
Do we have any information about what triggered the "Invasion"? Any evidence that it was kickstarted by an NGO? I don't even need direct ties to the US or Israel, it just being there and somewhat responsible would be enough of a signal to accept this conspiracy as probably true in the year of our lord 2026.

On Item 1, skipping the legal analysis completely (IANAL), it seems crazy to me that the village with so few people couldn't.... approve permits quickly?
Wouldn't that have been far superior to paying millions in arbitration and being garnished? Why enter into any development agreement at all?!? I find document 81 far more sympathetic than document 12, in short.

I am now vaguely hoping you're unemployed for a whole year. Can't imagine getting to experience so many of these the first time.
You've seen many amazing recs, some I think are overrated.
I'll just drop The Homeworld Remastered Collection which is on sale for $3.49. The collection has essentially 4 games (HW1 and HW2, then the remastered versions of each).
The single player experience is really what you're looking for. While the remastered version has some mechanical issues, it does have some major QoL upgrades and is gorgeous. There's nothing else like it as far as I'm concerned. Enjoy!

Congrats. Even with the additional context you've provided, as long as you're soliciting opinions, I do think there's some value in a partial exit, assuming you're optimizing for taxes etc.
I don't know how often you've failed to sell at a peak and lost, but it doesn't feel great. Cashing enough to cover that right now and then rebalancing might be good. If it's memory now, what's next? The PMCs mowing down NIMBYs blocking data center builds?

I've taken GLP-1s for a single dose so I know exactly what you're describing. It led me to having smaller portions for 3-4 months. I've now backslid a bit and had to come up with more exercise to compensate.

C'mon folks, two-a-days is how men are built.

Agreed.
For GLP-1s, if you don't taper off the dosage and replace the hyperpalatable foods in your house with decent stuff while you have the temporary self-control, you'll gain the weight back. Has nothing to do with the drug and everything to do with the individual.

In short, I believe there is a significant double standard right now. The left is very comfortable advocating for celebrating violence. Poll after poll confirms this among the rank and file, and then this is filtered again through the media apparatus.

I think if I get to retire early I'll hop back into food service for at least a year, maybe 2. I miss it quite a bit.

I played Crysis. I didn't finish it precisely because I never really liked the gunplay compared to even CoD or Halo. Was it the same?

The HL2 pulse rifle is one of the most satisfying guns.... ever. I mean, the whole repertoire is good, even the pistol and SMG are fun. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I find the gunplay in HL2 and Counter-Strike to be a lot more compelling than "Parkour with a Rifle" in modern shooters.

I'm glad you're having the same experience that I did. I played HL1 stone cold for the first time in... 2009? Zero Nostalgia. Still loved every second. The magic was very much still there.

No, I do, I think the shooting was more real than the golf course stalking and the storming of the correspondent's dinner. It also had a lot of "I wish he'd aimed better".
Unless you're saying there's another I'm missing? I count 3.

Eh, I'm more than happy to make fun of anything - 9/11, rape, my own crippling need for validation from strangers (especially women).
But frankly I'm still pissed that he got killed and that the bloodthirsty circlejerk online and IRL went largely unpunished. The double-standard for violence between the right and left is untenable. I was, perhaps, even more furious with this than Trump's first assassination attempt, and I considered Kirk a bit of an edgelord previous to his murder.

Yeah same. I thought
The Makita tools are very expensive and don't go on sale, but when I bought my first house I called the customer support line for the major tool manufacturers. One didn't have a support line, another had a wait time of 50 minutes, and Makita picked up (with an American!) on the second ring.
My dad's Ego gear just sucks to use. For the same weight profile and 50v batteries, every tool is underwhelming and he's had to warranty a lot of stuff.
I've now totaled my son's Sam's Club special. I started with the 18v upgrade, tacked on head-and-tail lights, and then when the motors burnt out threw in some 775s (yes I was lazy and bought a kit). I threw on a trailer hitch compatible with the bike trailer, so the rig can now tow a brother and some snacks depending on grade.
