My mother was a single parent and terrible cook. I learned to cook in college because there was no other way to stretch $40-$50 for the month. Note college for me was 25 years ago, but that much was still tough.

Overheard: Being a woman is kind of like being a cyclist in a city where all the cars represent men. You’re supposed to be able to share the road equally with cars, but that’s not how it works. The roads are built for cars, and you spend a great deal of physical and mental energy being defensive and trying not to get hurt. Some of the cars want you to get hurt. They think you don’t have any place on the road at all. And if you do get hurt by a car, everyone makes excuses that it’s your fault.

Ooof … spot-on analogy from United Humanists on FB

I think you can pretty much chalk up any sport in a small space that basically doesn't have start stops. Basketball, hocky, and hear me out, indoor soccer. Watching outdoor soccer is boring AF, but the indoor version is really fun to watch live.

Actually he did this a lot. When ever he would utter the phrase, "not a lot of people know this", it meant he just learned a very well known fact for the first time.

That is who likely designed it. Elon spawns like a salmon, and has little connection to his children. Pretty sure he was in the home of one of his children and as a way to try and win some favor with him, he saw the picture on the fridge and said, I am gonna make this and it got out of hand.

I think there is a reasonable purpose to the presidential pardon. However, I don't believe it should be plenary. It is one the the few places where there are no checks. It is the lack of check that breeds corruption. How that check works, I think there are many options.

It will at least be wild to see the 10-dimensional pretzel they are going to have to turn themselves into making the plain language of the law and the plain language of the constitution that will take to explain it.

Then on top of that, he is constantly saying he was going to be tough on China, but TPP was the most consequential treaty in the pursuit of that, and Trump gave them a gift by spiking it.

Yeah, what is even funnier, is Trump didn't even negotiate it, Obama did. All the concessions Mexico and Canada made, were already part of TPP. He basically ripped it out of TPP, tossed TPP in the garbage, and claimed credit for getting Canada and Mexico to agree to things they already agreed to.

Also, two partners that we have a treaty, that he "renegotiated", that says he can't. USMCA does allow some tariffs but only in very specific cases. He would require congressional approval to impose a blanket tariff.

So on his first day, he plans to break the treaty he "renegotiated"? Pretty sure he needs congressional approval for that.

26.11.2024 00:27 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

The new "NAFTA", i.e. USMCA still provides for tariff-free trade between US, Canada and Mexico, except for very specific cases.

It's funny that he doesn't understand this would be illegal under the treaty he "renegotiated." It would take an act of Congress to walk away from it, so the tariffs should be ruled void.

They passed Trump's test. I was never a serious nomination. It was always there to see who would prioritize bending the knee, even in the face of humiliation.

So she voted for the adjudicated rapist? She seems rather selective about her protection.

Well to be fair, Tyson's fights were often crappy when he was in his prime. He had 6 fights where he knocked out his opponent in less than 50 seconds.

I wonder if there were a single individual that would reap a huge windfall from such actions. It would be awful if that person had undue influence in our government and was able to steer policy.

My worst was falling asleep on the commute home. The conductor waking me up at the end of the line 50 miles past my stop. There were no other trains in the other direction until morning.
