Reply to comment by Bluejeep10 in What area in Pennsylvania is the cheapest to live in? by Damien12341
I would argue that high speed internet should be included in a request for cheap places to live.
I had a buddy in a small PA town who could only get satellite internet and when it snowed it didn’t work well. And it snowed often.

I thought Pennsylvania was stuck in some political deadlock where they couldn’t even pass legislation? Best of luck I guess?

Reply to TIL that the civilian sailors of the U.S. Merchant Marine had a higher casualty rate during World War II than any branch of the armed forces. by p38-lightning
My father had a childhood friend who served in the merchant marine in WW2.
My dad was a little kid 10-14 years old during the war and one of the big boys from the street came home. He didn’t have any of his peers to talk to, they were either working long shifts or away at war and he confided in my dad he was running away. He had seven merchant ships shot out from underneath him and he couldn’t go back to sea. He gave my dad all of his possessions, The toys he was too old for and clothes. This was a big deal with rationing, nobody got anything new.
That was the last my dad ever heard of him… Mexico wasn’t in the war, that was the plan. He said he had done his part!
I hope he made it, seven ships shot out from under him.

I would file and argue for benefits if denied. It will cost you nothing.

Great Sand dunes is a beautiful park in a remote area of southern Colorado.
It isn’t a desert as much as wind blown sand dunes. The winds reliability blow from the southwest and then into a mountain dropping their wind collected sand in a pile. I’m sure there is a more scientific answer, but you get the idea.

Reply to TIL that despite having brains the size of poppy seeds, bees are able to recognize and remember human faces. In a study, researchers paired images of human faces with sugar-laced water, and bees were able to recognize and remember the faces even when the reward was no longer present. by MaleficentTop6074
Bees “know” there keeper as well.
When I was a boy we had hives on the field road near the alfalfa fields. It was common to walk the path to the point I didn’t think twice about the bees. I had a friend visit, and the bees didn’t like him for some reason and it was messy. I told him to calm down, but it didn’t work. I learned to give a wide brerth from that point forward it the bees didn’t know my guest.
