I remember when the leaflets went out for them, promising to stop Georgia Power from fucking everyone over. Like a week later, Georgia Power put out ads about how much they care about us and how every other state’s power companies are raising rates and we’ll do a rate freeze just please you don’t need to vote for them we’ll be good for an undisclosed period of time maybe ending after the midterms.

    I thought “he looks like he’s about to die” 15 years ago. As far as I can tell, he hasn’t changed, so I can’t in good conscience look at Donald Trump and the McConnell meat puppet and tell Bernie he’s not good enough.

    The ice maker produces ice cubes, dumps them into a bin, then refills the freezing portion. As the bin fills, a device of some sort, typically a lever with a paddle on the end, is pushed up by the rising ice. Once the lever reaches a certain height, the machine stops making new ice. When ice is removed, the lever falls and allows more ice to be made. There’s no need for a secondary container unless you need more ice than the maker has room for.

    Back in the day, the rumor was that he was an alcoholic and had massive gambling debts, and that he had to take whatever roles he was offered simply to stay afloat, which is how we ended up with so many strange Nic Cage films. Most articles say he actually made bad real estate investments. If he’d finished paying his debts, it would mean that he’s not in as much trouble as I expect, and that he’s making weird projects for fun now.
