My kitchen aid has a white light that comes on when it finishes running, and automatically shuts itself off when it is closed. As long as you unload it instead of fishing a single item out this works pretty well for telling the clean state.

What doesn’t jive? What basis is there for the government to refuse a US citizen entry to the country? Being married to someone doing something illegal isn’t a crime. “Defecting” (in quotes because I’m not aware of Oswald having anything of

My maternal grandparents are evangelical Christians. I once made the mistake of suggesting to them the King James Bible wasn’t the best text to pick if one was inclined to subscribe to biblical literalism. That’s when I learned that (at lea

I would be surprised if any large publicly traded corporation doesn’t offer some form of equity compensation to basically all employees with a six figure or higher salary. The only lesson here is it is another data point in being very skept

I think its more likely that the state's rules on increasing property taxes hamstrung its ability to raise revenue through the increasing property values in the state. Instead they make up the difference through other means of taxation
