Article says the camp has been there for a century, and the water washed away the cabin while the girls were asleep… Sounds like climate change to me. Even though the building is surely newer, they’d know where the river had risen to in the past.
Great! If you haven’t already, shower and text her you’re clean and available, although of course you understand if she’s busy right now.
Always keep at least three days worth of drinking water in your home, a gallon per person per day. So many emergency situations, large or small, can make water unavailable or unsafe. Having filters is also helpful, but you need actual full bottles on hand. For less plastic, go with the big bottles, you can drink from cups. And OP could have washed pits and crotch at least using some of his drinking water, since it’s not citywide so he could buy more on the way home from coffee.
That one made me snort!
Honestly, it’s a huge unexpected step from “meet for coffee” to “come shower in my apartment.” Or depending how you worded it, you could sound like you’re just trying to bail on getting together. Just because you’re not lying it’s not necessarily believable, especially in a dating context. Maybe try again when you’re done dealing with this and clean again.
We did also get a reminder from our Congressperson today that fireworks aren’t just illegal and dangerous to the user, they can cause devastating wildfires. Which we don’t need any more of. Agreed, but what about the dumpster fire over there where you work, Representative?
Let’s stop calling them super. “The grotesquely wealthy” is more accurate.

Ain’t no MAGAs running to the field or up the ladders to take these hard jobs at any price.
The Onerous Bloated Billionaire Boondoggle
Agreed! I plan on using “the grotesquely wealthy” from now on, it conveys my visceral opinion of them.

Also notice how the long distance, chaotic distribution, and heavy aid boxes force families to self-select their strongest person, who would also be most able to put up a fight to defend their family. Then the IDF is gunning them down when they’re in the chute, leaving starving women and children that are easily disposed of.
I’m not saying it was any actual kid, that’s just the only reason I could imagine being possibly justified.
Yes making jam is easy in a small amount like this, but canning it so it’s shelf-safe is a whole process.
Storebought is fine if you need jam and don’t have time or energy.
But if you aren’t up for eating all of those fresh berries in the fridge before they go bad, there’s a reason it’s called “preserves.” And you can mix different berries, even pitted cherries, or I’ve added a pouch of açai before, it’s all good, just different. If you want it smooth, use a blender or scrape it through a strainer. I’ve subbed Xylitol for the sugar and it works too.
The only situation I could imagine in which this decision could possibly be justified is if a small child got hold of a gun (because Texas) and shot her in play, and they’re trying not to ruin the kid’s life.
I had to check, because I was pretty sure there’s already no dyes in their jam and that is true.
You can make jam easily by boiling 2 cups rinsed and hulled (and cut if you like smaller bits) strawberries with the juice of a lemon and 2 cups of sugar for about 8 minutes, scraping the bottom with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon. It will be a nice bright color without any help. If you’re not proficient with doing sterile jars, store half in the fridge and half in the freezer.
Turns out the dyes are mostly in Hostess baked goods and other companies they’ve acquired.
Seems to me your definition of intelligence ignores whole aspects of true intelligence, at least of the human kind, such as emotional intelligence and social intelligence and artistic intelligence and moral intelligence…
“Problem solving” is the name for what you described and it doesn’t necessarily require intelligence. In fact most intelligent people have encountered situations where it made solving a problem more difficult.
Let’s see Mr and Mrs Bezos out there volunteering first. It’s a wholesome honeymoon activity!
