Have we not eaten while another starved? Will you punish us for that? Will you reward us for the virtue of starving while others ate? No man earns punishment, no man earns reward. Free your mind of the idea of deserving, the idea of earning, and you will begin to be able to think

I mean, I've seen it once or twice and clips a number of times, but I also didn't recall that line.

It has resumed intermittent posting.

Not quite the same thing. In Minnesota, two State House districts are nested in each State Senate district, but the Representatives only represent either the A or B portion of the Senate district. See the district map here: sos.mn.gov/media/2600/s...

I think you are slightly confused. In Iowa each State Senate district is divided in two to make State House districts. The State House districts are nested rather than coterminous. See the official maps at: www.legis.iowa.gov/docs/publica...

I suspect you purchased before the most recent iteration of the company. (They went bankrupt and were purchased by private equity. I am not sure any of the founders are still involved.)

Their refining capacity is pretty similar. Between 4 and 5 percent.

Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and fruit are all nice add-ins that make cereal a bit more substantial. I tend to do multiple.

I think that might be the guy I thought you were. (I went to grad school with an Asher Langton.)

Is Hal's the one that is ultra fizzy? Cola sounds like it would be a good flavor for bubbly water.

How does it compare to my standard of jalapeΓ±o, onion, and pineapple? It feels like it might hit the same notes?

If the Bob Casey campaign had money left at the end of Election Day, they genuinely might have made a mistake in not hiring someone.

Totally reasonable. (I admit to self interest about phone and text spending, though.)

I will note that if a campaign knows money is coming in, phone calls, texts, and (I think) digital ads can be purchased through Election Day. (Even if the money won't be in their coffers until later.)

This is because Salesforce (the company behind those ads) has licensed Einstein's name and likeness for the past several years from the Israeli university his estate was deeded to. They have been expanding what they slap the name on dramatically.

The key is that a majority needs to vote against the PM to depose them, so if RN won't, and the parties in government won't, then there aren't enough votes remaining to do so.

There have definitely been fundraising emails nominally from Franken in the past couple years, but not much else.

I mean there was talk about Scott running for senator in Texas, which is a similar level of weird.

Many of the initiatives are getting at least some funding from ACLU (either local or national). Planned Parenthood, Reproductive Freedom for All (the former NARAL), former state affiliates of NARAL, and Think Big America are also among the funders/organizers of the various initiatives.

NARAL national disaffiliated from most of its state branches. These state branches changed their names and so did national. The national org is now called Reproductive Freedom for All. The national organization is now more closely in charge of the 5 local branches still included.

Given his daughter's work against Trump, it seems highly unlikely (on either's part) that Trump would have (any) Cheney as his VP.

There are quite a few oil wells in California, so it may well be viable there too.

The Function keys default to be media controls (and backlight, brightness, app picker, etc.) that work as F keys when fn is held down. (The fn button pulls up an emoji/keyboard picker of used by itself.)
