@blondie said in I'm too nice, my wife is not: @89th .. Your updated kitchen is modern, yet your choices will endure through what’s trending now for a long time. Good design decisions. Thanks - our house has maple or medium cherry (?) brown wood trim along the baseboard, the doors, the windows, the cabinets, and nice millwork around the fireplace and stairs. Lots of neighbors have converted/painted it to a mostly white trim everywhere and white kitchen. It certainly looks nice, but I like the slightly darker wood throughout the house, feels warm to me and I'd imagine it's a design that'll come back into trend one day too, not that I give 2 sh!ts about trends. @Mik yeah in our old virginia condo we had a big single sink where we'd give the baby a bath. Very easy.

Or perhaps whack them.

What it does not say is what she started with and all the additional investments. I'm just not sure where they come up with that percentage figure. Maybe it's public information, I don't know.

Lol

I wonder what this means for Texas’s redistricting? Surely they based it off of 24 data. Obviously they’d put in some wiggle room but surely they didn’t account for a double digit shift among such a key group. How fucking glorious would it be to see that backfire on them.

Tesla is the right company to do it, because it needs high-powered IC, very different from the rest of the chip-making world's focus on low-powered, energy efficient chips.

It depends on who when you ask. https://x.com/jbhenchman/status/1986925973883748696?s=46

Follow up: In my book, “The Baton and The Cross,” I explore how the Church shaped Putin’s Russia — and the part it has played in enabling the current bloodshed. I also demonstrate how, throughout its 1,000-year history, the Church has always sat at the right hand of power and done whatever it takes to ensure its survival, its influence and its own enrichment. The cases of opportunism and overreach today echo those from the past — and the story of Hilarion is no exception. Until the full-scale invasion, he was part of Kirill’s inner circle and had a stellar career. Born Grigory Alfeyev, he studied music before he left to become a monk and took the name Hilarion. He has composed choral works and written a slew of theological books. From 2009, he was Metropolitan of Volokolamsk and headed the Moscow Patriarchate’s version of the foreign ministry. He was also a member of the Holy Synod and rector of the theological studies center named after Saints Cyril and Methodius. Some saw him as the Patriarch’s successor. https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/11/07/russian-orthodox-priests-dont-practice-what-they-preach-a91083
