I guess the NYTimes interviewed home back in 2023?

Did he volunteer to fight in Ukraine war?

In 2023, Routh told the New York Times he spent several months in Ukraine amid the war with Russia. He also said he had tried recruiting Afghan soldiers who opposed the Taliban to fight in Ukraine.

I have an ~1800sqft house in the US South East in a LCOL area.

• Garbage collection is $5/wk
• Water + Sewage is ~$150/mo
• Electricity is ~$150/mo
• Internet is $55/mo
• Propane is ~$150/yr
• Lawn Care is ~$800/yr
• Property Tax is ~$2400/yr
• Home Insurance is ~$1500/yr
• HOA is ~$1400/yr

We will probably spring for pest control next year which I expect to be about $100/mo

Unless I bungled the math, that works out to $11,970/yr

This obviously doesn’t include any maintenance, repairs, or improvements

EDIT: Just saw your second edit. Propane is still new to us; last winter we heated almost exclusively with the heat pump. This year we plan to try using the propane more and see how the cost differs. We pay $100/year to rent a tank and the propane truck comes by once a month and tops it off. Then we get a bill for however much they add.

Definitely a “developing story”.

/u/jordanlund linked a NYP article saying it was a secret service agent who fired the gun at the person of interest. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m treating everything as a rumor at this point.

…trying to burn through my gift links here 😅

From the article:

Teri Barbera, a spokeswoman for the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, confirmed that a shooting took place “on the grounds” of the Trump International Golf Course West Palm Beach while Mr. Trump was present. A “person of interest” has been detained, she said.

“Looks like Kamala knows more about it than you, then”

😇

Exactly. Dems don’t have to worry about her being on the ticket because she’s incompetent.

Not the person you asked, but here is rule 3 from the sidebar (emphasis mods; not mine):

Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban

I definitely looks that way

That’s a good point. I’m starting to think they fill out the paperwork wrong just to fuel their persecution complex…

🤔

Easier than actually doing the hard work to get elected.

Why are third parties so bad at accomplishing basic shit like getting on the ballot? Saw the same issues in Georgia.

Makes me real skeptical about them being competent enough to run the county. That’s for sure.

“Everyone says so”

🤔

Mastodon has influencers?

By the article’s logic, every president elected to a second term has entered their lame duck phase the day after the election.
