Yes. Controlling it both positive and negative is key. Otherwise you're not getting the most out of your effort.

You’ll get quite the windfall when prices all go down heading into next year.

It's part of the human condition to prefer that everybody fails rather than allowing one's enemy to succeed.

Those crossfit exercises are getting weirder. But you can't argue with those results. Nice lats. Legs could use more definition. And a statue isn't a statue until its penis is exposed. That's statue 101.

She’s right in the need to innovate, though. The candlelight recitals are fantastic. One of the other things that I almost agreed with her on as well is the patronage model, until she turned into a whole bunch of socially ignorant bs. Today’s patronage isn’t the Rothschilds. It’s 1st generation tech millionaires and billionaires.

Thanks, Ax. I'll look at it if this next one (highly reviewed in Popular Mechanics) turns out to be a dud.

Lovely vision, isn't it? That's one thing that gets me... most of the kids "thinking they're trans" is just associate with characteristics (looks, hobbies, personality) associated with the traditional feminine or masculine stereotype and nothing with actual physical dysmorphia.

Perhaps if Trump(CF) lives long enough, it could be used rather appropriately as a courtroom when he is called to answer for his various dodgy dealings over the last few & forthcoming three years.

@Mik said in The hill they have chosen to die on: The question remains are they important enough that we should borrow to pay for them. We should tax and pay for them. Even if you want to restrict the argument to "borrowing," of all the things we "borrow to pay for," one would think that the health of the citizenry should be pretty high up on priority. Without sufficient insurance coverage, the uninsured will still get healthcare anyway -- but through much costlier means such as going to emergency rooms rather than primary care, and/or cost a lot more for worsened ailments that could have been diagnosed and treated early on the cheap had there been sufficient insurance.

Supposedly, Trump has managed to dismiss 1.8 Billion dollars through his generous pardons.

@jon-nyc said in The Sad Cognitive Decline of a President: Something occurred to me recently. If Trump has or gets dimentia, how would we even know? He might start sounding marginally coherent?

Haha something about Kentucky folks... Massie reminds me of one version of Ron or Rand Paul.

LOL

Of course.

His response to the birthday card was so obviously dishonest that we clearly can't trust anything either he or his toadies say about Epstein. I know, I'm stating the bleeding obvious. Still, apparently obvious not for everyone....

Awesome.

@Horace said in Close call: I discovered this terrifying footage of a Trumpist special forces unit parachuting into a stadium to arrest all the black and brown athletes. I'm a little surprised Trump didn't parachute in himself as Her Britannic Majesty Queen Elizabeth did with Commander Bond for the London Olympics. Presumably they didn't have a parachute that was big enough.

Drop it off at any UPS store, no box required.
