You thought weatherbug was a good standard? That app is the butt of our jokes about bad weather apps.

Bradford pears were used a lot in my area, but were ultimately invasive. I think putting more native shrubs or bushes might help some since their drip like can be kept smaller than a tree's.

It's a problem I have to deal with regularly at work. So many parking lots had low canopy trees that just all died off at about the same time due to being in parking islands.

The problem with planting trees in boulevards or in parking lot islands is that they cement and asphalt don't allow a lot of water to filter through to the roots. They might be fine for a little while, you might be able to nurse them along if you find a way to water them. But ultimately, they will all die off earlier than they should.

A lot of difficult to find movies are on there . That's what I use it for.

We are semi-skiller labor and won't hire someone with decades of experience because they'll be too stuck in their way to conform to our standards and operations.

Oh man. My first IED was very strange. We were driving on what we called route kill zone, and there was some traffic. And then we came to an overpass and seemingly everyone else took the off ramp. Came out the other side and just blammo. I saw the vehicle in front of me get pushed a lane over and then disappear into smoke and dust. I locked up the brakes so I wouldn't smash into them.

Turned out there was a sniper down the road and a can full of guys with RPGs on the bridge behind us. But we had no casualties or significant vehicle damage, so they apparently dipped. We hightailed it to a rally point that was literally 500 meters from where the attack happened. Front vehicle thought we were the ones that got hit.

I was scared when I was a 19 year old doing a patrol through Sadr City in 2003, while manning the .50 cal and having dozens of kids suddenly show up and throwing rocks at me. Did I waste them even though I would have been justified because it wasn't uncommon that patrols would go through markets and peopled start throwing produce and mix a grenade in?

No. Because I was well trained and realized that life is precious. And I was dealing with those rocks a lot longer than 1.6 seconds.

We order dominos kinda regularly. Check their coupons next time. I can tell you that I'll get a large 5 topping, stuffed cheesy bread and wings for that price or cheaper. And I'm your friendly neighbor to the west, not in a major or midsized area.

My favorite to use: "not gonna lie to you."

Pickle juice. Also, pickles.

Sauerkraut

I work outside doing physical labor, I maintain a giant jar of pickles at work and home. There is no better relief when I am feeling crampy after a hot hot day than a giant swig from the pickle jar.

You can recharge your new iPhone in the microwave.

Isn't it the most recent major color?

Max verstappen's immediate death

It's possible. I did a lot of drinking.

I was 18. I didn't really care about what companies were headquartered in which countries.

2002

Seoul. I was barely 18 and got stationed there. I was expecting grass huts and donkey carts based off MASH or other movies I've seen.

But I was legitimately shocked. Like you know in movies when someone goes through Tokyo for the first time and they are starting struck, that was me in Seoul.

I keep a jar of pickle juice at work so I can keep cramp free on hot days. It's nothing to be ashamed of.
