I lurk, therefore I am. Interests: law, knitting, cats, Eleanor of Aquitaine, books (line item in our family budget), creating complex maximization strategies for mindless computer gaming.

More credible than "I don't know what's happening in Washington politics/news because I'm too busy monitoring my son's porn consumption."

Since I could read in kindergarten, I always had to be the narrator for the plays put on for the parents - never the bunny rabbit or the fluffy chick. In grade school, they used the SRA packets, so I would start at the hardest, then work backwards. Classmates hated me.

Be careful what you share, Ivanka.

Some of us actually read the rest of the story.πŸ‘‡

Is it just me, or does the ad's graphic look more like Jimmy Fallon?

The year Bon Jovi was inducted, Jon Bon Jovi rambled on for so long that there wasn't time for the traditional show closer, at that time "Rockin' in the Free World". (I applaud the move to diversify - "All the Young Dudes" and "Jolene" particularly.)

Counterpoint: the Cleveland venue is not friendly to those of us afraid of heights/of questionable balance (physical), and they have to end by a certain time or pay extra to the city, which they are loathe to do.

Helpful hint: anything you don't know the name for is "phlox". It's fun to say.

Pre-ordered copies for the relevant aged niblings, and one for myself!

Moreover, do they think that medical providers will continue to charge the "insurance company negotiated price"? (Answer - they don't care.)

If we redefine the word "conscious" to mean "providing an output when given an input", then sure. /s

Happy book birthday! Snagged 2 copies (one for self, one for child's mother-in-law, a delightful person who will LOVE these).

So, how many vowels do you include in your spelling of the word "no"? Not counting the three that come from off-world, of course.

I think the explanation here is "conservative men are bad at sex." Why else would conservative women think recreational sex is bad?

As an American expat prior to streaming, it drove me crazy. I'd "discover" a new show around episode 2 or 3, then all of a sudden it would disappear, and maybe I'd find it the next time around, but maybe not. Also, I hated the school break weeks, as they would preempt the shows my toddler watched.

The President then went into sleep mode until attention could be paid to him again.

Any news yet on the availability of the new book? I have a recipient in mind (as well as a space on my bookshelf).

So the majority justices also would require that a married woman who took their husband's last name would need to have a passport with her "maiden" name, since that would just be attesting to historical fact?

One of my physicist cats is also a botanist - Plants grow in the ground, so every plant needs to be as close to the ground as possible, and must be removed from any container between it and the ground. Also, are these leaves food?

Also, and not for nothing, the government has essentially admitted (by repatriating survivors) that it does not know whether or not the boats it is bombing are actually running drugs, just that they are 'within 3 connections' to someone involved with drugs, a condition that prob applies to everyone.

By making Senate seats depend on state boundaries regardless of population, we have essentially given votes to acreage.

So, disruptions to animal migrations not a thing? How about crop growing cycles? Exactly how small an area will this affect, and can we get it to work like magnifying glasses and ants? If one of my neighbors decided to mess with my sleep, I'd look into the existence of giant pea shooters.

Seating Grijalva should be the absolute minimum. I'd hold out for a law that prohibits the Speaker of the House from refusing to seat members (absent a bipartisan investigation should election anomalies arise), and reinstating the ACA subsidies, reopening gov't after the laws are signed by DJT.
