Holy shit. How does that have a positive value? Still, Pittsburgh… hm…

Has that “absentee owner” law (or whatever the name is) taken effect yet? Do you think it will help?
Well, there goes my dream retirement plan.
Definitely under 50K (USD), but that’s because I live in the sticks.
As someone who’s been hearing impaired my whole life, yes. The urge to punch the person in the face right at that moment sometimes seems irresistible.
It’s a toss-up between Elon Musk and people saying “WHAT?!” when I tell them I’m hearing impaired.
Damnmit. I asked that kid to clean off this coffee table and now there’s a pepper grinder, a bag of terrible candy, three remote controls, and some crushed fortune cookies, all under my back.

Your wife sounds like mine. I value transparency and openness fundamentally, but after a decade of “no” to almost everything, I’ve learned that if I just do stuff without asking, she frequently says, “Oh, that’s a nice idea.” If I ask, however, it’s “not a good idea,” “not now,” “we don’t need that,” etc.
Not that strange, but certainly fucking annoying: at universities it’s becoming more common to have “closed searches” for upper administrators like presidents, provosts, deans, etc. This is very much a labor/management thing, and historically (in the US) public universities have had open searches, where faculty and staff get to meet candidates, ask them questions, etc. Upper admins have taken over all decision making power in recent decades, but in the past few years they’ve even started preventing faculty/staff from even knowing who is applying to be their new uni president. Under pressure to do something about “the consent of the governed,” admins have “allowed” some faculty and staff to view interviews and things, but are forced to sign NDAs to do so.
At public universities, using taxpayer money, promising large amounts of taxpayer money to some person. It’s stupid and annoying.
Those three people already know each other, so…
I would watch the shit out of this YouTube channel.
Depends on the metric. Direct threat to democracy, increasing violence and dangerr for millions of Americans, harming economic futures for Americans, etc.: probably Trump.
Sheer body count: maybe Bush, but don’t forget about all the people who would still be alive or more healthy if Trump had not actively sabotaged COVID response.
Okay I’m back to Trump.
We just never invested in that with our kid. We said things like, “it’s fun to pretend” and “some other families believe…”
It isn’t hard. I grew up believing Native Americans were Israelites and there were ancient records written on metal plated under a hill in central New York. Many families believe our don’t believe certain things.
Technical question: how did Israel cut Gaza off from cell networks? Is there some kind of jamming technology, did they literally destroy/disable all cell towers serving Gaza, or did they get Verizon or whoever to stop providing service? Or something else?
Thanks for checking. I’m sad to be right about this.
Your logical argumentation is compelling.
*grudgingly
Okay, maybe that actually counts. I don’t use the word in this context, but others do and I grudgingly read it.
The lack of a Scottish American heritage month is a serious injustice.
The tories can go cry in a corner, though. Fucking white house burners.
(OK, mostly being a dick for lols, but honestly don’t feel bad that the former colonial power we rebelled against to even have a nation doesn’t have a special holiday)
