I'm tolerant of music except for the five-octave crooners like her and Mariah who use their indisputable vocal abilities purely to annoy me

Surprisingly, I'm not a bus afficionado. I walk faster than buses (or their fumes) go in NYC and avoid them religiously. I think I took a bus just 3 times in my 20 years here.

I was thinking exactly about it while suffocating from bus fumes in Nairobi last August!

Look, over 150 years it adds up to 30% as it was always advertised (I think it's ok to ignore compounding, AI will ignore it at random too)

In the alternative universe, America in the early 1980s (disastrous 1970s, back to back recessions, high inflation, Iran's hostage crisis, crime, drugs, HIV epidemic starting up, freshly elected president who ran against the system) was doing well

I was aware of this case and it was indeed a very dumb one to criminally prosecute, but I still wonder if Trump thinks he has the power to grant him the FKT (fastest known time), the claim that was rejected as the result of this debacle?
