(14,016 posts)Listen, most people will get on board with reasonable regulation of guns. HOWEVER, Democrats or progressives or whoever would never win again if they said they were going to ban all guns. Plus it's unconstitutional and very authoritarian in nature., just the idea of going around and forcing everyone to hand over all their rifles, shotguns, etc.

Lordquinton
(7,886 posts)Because its not, even the progressive types turn regressive when the subject has anything to do with farming. And guns are a prominent part of the culture out there too.
It's a fair bit better than some states, but don't act like it's one big happy place, no state is.

Aerows
(39,961 posts)Concentrating the sun's rays combined with the heated air in the oven bag and absorption of the black pot, you can heat a pot of beans at 20°F ambient.

(57,349 posts)I'll remember that in case we get another ice storm. We were lucky last time because we had a gas stove.
Aerows
(39,961 posts)They range from simple, like the windshield one, to more sophisticated (made with cardboard boxes LOL) that are more efficient. They even have some made of wood.
All of them work, though.
It really sparked my interest in them when I noticed the variation on designs.
There are also designs for solar showers so that you can have hot (or at least not freezing) water for bathing.
There are some really neat plans on the internet if it interests you!

It appears to be instigated by gun nuts.
Do you folks even know anything about Iowa?
Or are we just a stereotype to you?
Have you seen Bernie bashing Iowa?
Calling us hillbillies?
Flatland?
Flyover country?
I don't think that Bernie told you to go out there and start insulting Iowa.
I really don't.
Bernie is better than that.
Much better.
(And, no. We're not jealous. Why would we be? We've got the first Caucus in the nation. It's silly to claim that Iowans are just jealous. Explaining the bashing, on the other hand...hmmmm...perhaps jealousy does play a role?)

(45,120 posts)then it's Wonder bread toasted and slathered with real Land O lakes whipped butter. I like the Land O lakes butter cause I think Bernie would like lakes and stuff like that but reading this thread it's clear that Bernie's supporters, other than just 2 don't know how to do toast so I'm not gonna be able to vote for Bernie plus he's from Vermont and that state has guns, too many white people and such stuff. Now as to the where part of your question I make my toast in the kitchen. I don't like to make it there because all those appliances in there are used for cooking and there's just no diversity but I have to keep the cinnamon raisin and the white bread crumbs contained in one area.
