Some places in the US have what are called “wash and folds” where your drop off your laundry and they’ll do it for you, usually charging by the pound. You pick it up folded.
Even some dry cleaners will do this.
Obviously more expensive than a laundromat, but, as always, it’s a question of how much you value your time.
During the colonization of the American West, who did your laundry mostly depended on your marital status. Since laundry was “women’s work”, bachelors wouldn’t do it. But there weren’t a lot of women around during the early era of colonization, so you got Chinese immigrants (largely from Hong Kong) who would establish these commercial laundries to cater to all the single men who couldn’t or wouldn’t do their own laundry (it was also very time-consuming and arduous work). American racism against Chinese immigrants who held these jobs led to things like the avowedly leftist Chinese Hand Laundry Alliance, which was a labor organization that fought to keep these jobs legal.
The right-unionism is incompatible with the big-business base.
It’s the same reason Republicans will never do anything to completely stop visa-less immigration: they want downward pressure on wages.
If the question is “Will Kathy Hochul do something good?” the answer is “no”.
Maybe he did great things for New York’s bedbug population?
Sridhar spits fire all the time.
Depends on your definition of “historic”. Just because a building is old doesn’t mean it’s historic, and the bottom line is that no building is more important than unsheltered people.
PC Part Picker can give you an estimate of power usage. I just plugged in what you gave us + a random mobo and AIO and it seems to think 500W is probably too low, but if you’re buying anything pre-assembled it’s most likely calibrated correctly. Maybe they’re undervolting the GPU or the CPU, or they just have a less thirsty GPU than the random 12GB 4070 Super I picked but idk.
My instinct is that if it’s being sold as a complete system you don’t need to worry about it.
literal paypigs
Here’s what voting changes: who gets to control the graft machine.
You can’t give your buddy lucrative no-bid contracts if you don’t control the right levers.
They’re fighting very hard to keep themselves in their cushy jobs where nothing is expected of them.
Being a goofy goober.
yeah but think of the valuable parking they’re taking up!
Skillet!
lmao
Or just NHTSA will get completely ignored in the wake of Chevron.
It’s gotta be really weird to be an adult whose primary audience is children.
Especially now in the era where your audience more directly influences what you do and what you put out.
Killing Nazis is an unalloyed good.
Not saying this is in any way comparable to the current state of affairs, but it’s very easy to support one side in a war in which they’re both war criminals. Just because both sides are doing things defined as war crimes doesn’t make their goals unjust.
Like the Allies in WW2, the Red Army in the Russian Civil War, the Vietcong in Vietnam, etc.
I’d say that it’s still a very common trope, and that’s part of the reason it’s not discussed much. The other reason is that, as the cultural “default” cishet men don’t really create spaces centering their shared cishet experience, since basically all communities are awash in that already. Lesbians obviously carve out spaces for themselves where they can discuss their own culture, which is not often on display in the wider culture.
Like if you went to a forum for cishet dudes, it would be a bunch of guys who think there aren’t enough places already to talk about being a cishet dude and that’s a big red flag.
Part of the ruling stems from the ND constitution which guarantees a right to pursue happiness:
Section 1. All individuals are by nature equally free and independent and have certain inalienable rights, among which are those of enjoying and defending life and liberty; acquiring, possessing and protecting property and reputation; pursuing and obtaining safety and happiness; and to keep and bear arms for the defense of their person, family, property, and the state, and for lawful hunting, recreational, and other lawful purposes, which shall not be infringed.
Notably, “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” were in the Declaration of Independence, and not the US Constitution. But ND put it in theirs.
Anyway, wishcasting here to say that this opens a pathway to protecting gender-affirming care in ND as well.

Laundromats suck. No argument here.
