    @Aqua-Letifer said in Another Michelin Starred Restaurant Closes: You do know why Ax posted this, don't you? It's the same reason why he's the first to post stories of ousted GOP politicians and Catholic Church scandals. His motivation is not exactly in the service of public interest. I have no freaking idea. It's just a bloody restaurant closing down. It happens all the time. We might as well start threads about how expensive it is to own a boat. If Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsey can't manage to keep all their places in business, what hope is there for normal folk?

    Yeah it doesn’t make sense to say 2/3 the states ratified it if one did in 1830 and another in 2030

    https://pressnewsagency.org/desantis-new-marketing-campaign-movies-paint-very-completely-different-image-of-trump/ Too little, too late. You can't off starting by saying that President Trump is a great guy, but vote for me. And then, when you realize how stupid that is, try and change. Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis’ (R) marketing campaign staff taunted rival Donald Trump with a sequence of gaffe-filled clips which it stated confirmed why the previous president isn’t taking part within the GOP’s major debates. The clips featured “each considered one of Donald Trump’s fumbles, accidents, and confused moments from this yr,” the Florida governor’s staff wrote on X, previously Twitter. Among the many movies, Trump informed a rally viewers that he’s within the incorrect place, confused his predecessor Barack Obama for President Joe Biden and completely denied vowing to “use particular forces to inflict most injury” on Mexican drug cartels although he stated precisely that simply days earlier than.

    @jon-nyc said in Dont mess with a Professional Fighter: Based on the guy’s actions my going in position is ‘bat shit crazy’. What’s the etymology of that phrase? Does bat guano contain rabies? Or some type of other virus/parasite that affects rationality?

    @George-K said in I am so ready for tomorrow to be over.: I realize you can't do this because of your need to have your phone available for work contacts, but the iPhone has a neat feature whereby if the number's not in your contact list, it goes to voicemail. You never even know about the phone call, other than the notification that you have voicemail. You know what else would be a neat feature? Maybe creating a way that people that don’t want unsolicited calls and texts could sign up to “opt out” of receiving these messages. And if such a thing could be created, it would be really nice if politicians didn’t exempt themselves so they could break the spirit of the program, if not the actual program itself. The fact that they care so little about the spirit of the law tells me everything I need to know. If they break this for their convenience, what else will they break? I am struggling over whether I am going to vote tomorrow, I am that pissed.

    @Axtremus said in There is no part of the market Biden won't muck around in.: The US government mucking around in real estate and homeownership is not new. Long before Biden, FHA loans allow for down payment as low as 3% -- far below usual market expectations. This is not a "new" part of the market that the federal government inserts itself into. Arnold Kling, an Economist formerly at George Mason, puts it best. The US doesn’t subsidize homeownership, it subsidizes ‘home borrowership’.
