Not seeing where King personally flagged anything. And it seems more material was provided upon request rather than just an unsolicited data dump.

As for Lance Dutson, who cares? His embrace of anti-democratic policy positions should relegate him to the dustbin, even if his behind-the-curtains skullduggery against Strimling and leadershit of pro-putin Heritage did not.

I use sweetmarias. I used their customer site for testing blends, then their commercial site to buy in bulk. They even have some entry level roasting stuff for sale, the only downfall with the popcorn roaster is if you roast too much in 1 day the plastic barrier melts a bit.

Mostly easy to roast, it gets difficult if you’re looking for an extremely light roast. I don’t have HVAC so I usually set up a couple of fans to blow the smoke out the window. The sweet spot for me is to stop when the beans are finishing their “first crack” and start to enter the “second crack”. There’s tons of YouTube/material on roasting with ovens or cheaper roasting guides.

> “Compiling black lists of dissidents for censorship – these are tactics of kingpins and mob bosses, not public servants,” Brakey said in a written statement Tuesday. “If we still lived in a just society that valued the Bill of Rights, Angus King would be too ashamed to file for re-election after these revelations of political thuggery.”

It's not like the King campaign called any of these people out publicly for being bots. They just reported them to the websites responsible to investigate, and it looks like some of them did end up suspended, so.... who cares?

Here's the linked doc. It doesn't look that different than what redditors do when tracking bot chains.

We actually paid a little extra each month last year to eat away at the principal balance, so we paid 600 a month which is 7200, 20 Starbucks bucks a day is 7300 a year. Our actual monthly payment was 552, it was adjusted and is now 648 and we are doing 700 a month which is 8400 a year. Here is where it gets wild. We have a 30 year fixed mortgage, by paying just the little extra each month we are going to pay off the house in under 24 years. We have a plan to roll what we pay toward other debts into the mortgage payment once the debts are eliminated. We plan to have the house paid off(including new solar array, heat pumps, orchard, greenhouse, wood stoves, sugar house, charging station, outbuildings, etc.) by the time I am 50. It is indeed one of the darkest timelines for many folks but there are bright spots!
