When I managed a pizza shop near a university, my recommendation was 2 slices per person min, 3 if it was in your budget, and 4 if you liked the students.

Pretty everyone'll eat two, half the people'll eat more if it's available, and leftovers can be taken home by poor students.

November is too late.

Now is late, this should've already happened, but hiding the Epstein files takes a lot of time

The non-car lane should be equal in size to one of the car lanes, and physically separated from them. Bikes and runners can then share it.

Footage I took earlier of the moment Reverend David Black, a regular protester outside of the Broadview Detention Center, was shot in the head with a pepper ball by ICE agents on the roof of the facility.

I could be biased. She's my favorite singer πŸ˜‡

That was the first movie I remember seeing in the theater. My kindergarden teacher took me to see it.

It probably wasn't actually the first movie I saw in the theater, just the first one I have a memory of seeing.
