I believe it’s a dedicated parking garage, which admittedly only helps a little.

Yup, but it also might be lightly photoshopped. The Street View has a window right where the portajohn is sitting that looks pretty permanent, but this pic or the street view could be old.

Or, you think you lost one and get the second, but the original was tucked into some zippered sub-pouch all along.

TWSBIs for everybody!

Filled fountain pens might make parents madder than Vapes would, though.

Me: Why are they talking about cartridges? Those look like piston-fill demonstrator fountain pens to me!

Counterpoint: it was nowhere near as good as its ratings warranted, and shows featuring stock characters slinging zingers amid half-assed farce plots are a dime a dozen for most of TV’s history.

It certainly wasn’t THAT level of engagement, but when I was in college the students had to be told not to feed the on-campus alligators.

Yup. While the bear with a tail is still kind of weird, Ursa major is one of the least weird constellations. “The Big Dipper” is an “asterism” according to the grad students at the planetarium I took my daughter to.

Chocolate and cinnamon creme, to read the image. I reckon the goal is for it to taste a bit like Mexican Hot Chocolate, which is generally delicious.

If anybody’s wondering… (Youtube link)

Also, ooof. Not that this looks to be a fine piece of cinema, but the writer didn’t put this into the script, the director did. Apparently it’s an 1884 printing of an 1853 edition of a 1720 translation (Pope’s), so in no way whatsoever is it first edition of, well, anything. Maybe the worst part of it is that there was absolutely no reason to linger over the title. They never even say the name of the book.

Probably just mixed in with your correspondence regarding copper ingots.

Would you like some burger on your ketchup?

I used pixel-level zoom and drew top-down Star Wars starfighters and then copied and pasted them to have battles.

DUUUUUVALLLLL!

Awwww Death is adorbs!

cup of tea

There’s your problem right there, bucko. In the words of the last great American… pigeon sweat.

I got an Outback in 2013 when my wife was expecting. Then nine years later I got the world’s most boring mid-life crisis car and just got a new Outback, but this one is black and slightly lifted and has the turbo. It’s almost three years old now and I expect to have it for many years to come.

I love the actual utility. It rides like a car and fits where a car does, but holds as much as an SUV, with more interior volume than a Forester.

The shocking part is that Subaru never explains why the hell you’d want a Forester when the Outback exists.

Wagon Life, BAY-BEE!!!

So, for US Federal Court, there’s basically three levels: District (trial), Circuit (appeals), and Supreme Court (…of the United States, aka “SCOTUS,” a second level appeals court and the final arbiter of federal constitutional questions). This was a lawsuit filed in a District court in Washington state. As everybody gets their pleadings in order, they will move towards a trial. The loser will appeal, and then appeal again.

HOWEVER, in a case like this, which seems to be a huge departure from existing constitutional precedent, and which could seriously fuck over the affected kiddos born after February 19, a trial court judge is within their power to issue a temporary injunction, which basically says, “hold up y’all, this would be crazy, and unless you just wow us with legal brilliance (or SCOTUS fucks us over) it’s probably going away, and in the meantime we’ve all been doing okay with the previous interpretation, so the change is on ice until we get this sorted.” It is inherently temporary because nothing’s been actually argued or analyzed and decided.

Of course, now THAT will get appealed, because you can appeal stuff other than final decisions, particularly when by their nature they’re stuff that needs to apply either to everybody in the country or to no one (versus, like, telling Company A to hold off on selling a piece of land) and that’s what SCOTUS will probably rule on well before the actual merits, though in this case it’s all of a piece and therefore we’ll get a huge hint as to how they’re leaning if they overturn the injunction. Letting it stand would imply they agree with the district judge or at least that a couple of justices haven’t made up their minds.

People get very emotional about this stuff because the issues ARE emotional and I find it despicable that this is where we are, but the process is gonna process, and nothing final will have happened this quickly.

ACKSHULLY…

While you’ve chosen better verbs, that’s still passive voice.

“A bunch of deranged MAGA assholes murdered a police officer by beating him to death.”

Thank you for coming to my pedantic grammar lesson.
