Data doesn’t yet show how bleak things are. 1. Receiving coupons and discount codes and Black Friday extension offers from every company I’ve ordered from this fall (except Apple). 2. tree lots have trees left if priced above $100 (expensive here, an hour from where trees are grown)

Someone brought in to fix the trains- could it be @macsquirelera.bsky.social ? (Probably should be)
You won't arrive on time and may not even get a seat. Your booking might get lost. Things have gotten so dire that a foreigner has been brought in to shake things up. n.pr/48NZ9e5
Germany's train service is one of Europe's worst. How did it get so bad?

I mean, Duke football winning the ACC championship is stellar but followed so closely by the UNC utter train wreck.
Could it be a Duke-sponsored long con?

We're gonna find out like 20 years from now when Bill is in the ground and she writes a tell all that it was some expensive long con paid for by some Duke boosters to destroy the University of North Carolina and it's going to be amazing

Screw it, I’m invoking the UCF rule.
You’re putting some conference championship losers in ahead of Duke and keeping them from playing in the tourney?
Duke University: National champions.

Hey #HolidayBus lines - your bus driver drove over the sidewalk and into a light pole, blowing out a tire that sent rocks and shrapnel-like debris everywhere, including my neck, face and finger. Menace broke my finger. Driver never stopped to check on us crumpled on the sidewalk. Wish DOT existed
Anybody know how to knead bread one-handed? Asking for a friend cooking for 45 this week, including 5 dozen potato rolls (which will not be enough for any leftovers b/c so very delicious)
@darthbluesky.bsky.social you would love them
