#130 assuming they put in 8 hour days and don't count the time working the phones trying to raise money for their campaigns, (& that's being generous) that works out to just shy of $180/hour. I personally don't know one person making that much. Nobody.

Nah, I think you had it right the first time. ;)

Two naked men's buns bumping side-to-side. Obviously.

This is the final screenshot. No Canadian help here.

This did not work as advertised. First, I clicked on the link and got a 404 error. Then I manually typed the address he gave: unplug.toddmaffin.com. That address resulted in the warning you see here. I bypassed the warning and reached an actual dangerous site that tried to tell me that "all my files were about to be deleted."

I like the idea of protecting myself from untrustworthy corpos and governments. This guy isn't helping.

This may be asking too much, but would you mind reading "The Art of the Deal"? No reason...

Parachutes aren't there .. yet. But a lot of drop zones demand that you get an app to make a skydive!

I stopped at a motorcycle shop to check on Bluetooth accessories when a torrential Florida rainstorm hit. I bought the Bluetooth and a new rain suit and called my mom in her nursing home. Described the thunder, lightning, and sheets of water on the ride home, to her delight. In her last years I'd often call her while I rode, describing the travel. She loved the vicarious adventure.

If history is any guide, not a fucking thing will happen.

Don't let the threat of pain stand in your way. Ask for anesthesia. I had a bad experience with the first and saw a second (Army) surgeon who put me completely under. No pain at all, and no more kids!

Amazing channeling of Patrick Warburton. Or PW is an amazing channeling of you, depending on who came first (probably the first, since Patrick is 62 and you're in your mid 40's.)

When I was a freshman I was taught that most archeology was in trash. Big communal trash dumps, little household garbage pits, places where folks broke pottery and tossed the shards.

I've got moldy cheese in my fridge that would do way better than any R.

During special milestone services such as this wedding, the priest and the congregation extends the right arm straight out, angled slightly downward toward the people being blessed, with the palm flat, fingers together. While it may look like the Nazi salute, it's either a coincidence or the Nazis stole it, like they did the swastika. The RCC had that gesture long before Nazis existed. Lots of folks feel awkward about the resemblance and don't want to look like Nazis, obv.

Thank you! I've been staring at the image for a couple of minutes and it looked fine.

For a series, I think you only have one "Expanse"-ive choice there. Next best thing you can hope for is no sound in space.

This might help a little; they're all the same letter, just with different Obsession stills. It's pretty worshipful.

John Green: "Let me explain why I like to pay taxes for schools even though I don’t personally have a kid in school: I don’t like living in a country with a bunch of stupid people."

You're right, there is. But Cheeto Hitler has spent his entire life breaking rules and never being held to account.

The rule is more of a guideline that occasionally has been set aside. The first big one was the Carl Vinson. CVN-76 for Reagan, SSN-23 for Carter. All were retired but still alive.

You do you. I think you're missing out, but that's your taste. One thing to consider; if you made that choice years ago, you might want to have another go. A person's taste changes as they age. You might like them now.

Depends. If they live on a steady media diet of Faux "News," OAN, and Rush Limbaugh reruns, they probably are more concerned about the "trans invasion" than an aggressive nuclear armed military invasion of a close friend of the USA. Reality rarely pokes its nose into the homes of that special breed of MAGAts. Bigly sad.

I used to get a military discount when I bought my boots from Danner (I work outside walking A LOT on pavement, so I burn through a $270 pair in 9 months.) I can't get that discount anymore unless I go through a fucking APP. I refuse; too much work and too much loss of privacy.

We are so blessed by their fuzzy little killer souls, glad to have them for the few yes they are with us. (This is Princess on her shared throne.)

#54, I would have also accepted, "Chorro de orina."

#41 actually works out! Horsepower = torque * RPM ÷ 5,252. Plug those numbers into the formula, 142 RPM and 737 foot-pounds of torque = 20 hp.

What about women? Armed women? Armed women at polls should be just fine!

Gotta address one part. "Buck breaking" never happened. That's a 21st century made up thing. There is ZERO evidence that there was male-on-male public rape. Slavery was bad enough we don't need to invent outrages that only destroy credibility.

Jeezuz, those "defenders" don't know shit about leading the target. I never would have imagined it, but the skies over Russia are way safer than I expected. (And I pity the innocent people on the down side of that lead rain.)

To translate for any MAGAts out there:
THIS MEANS IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!1!
(I'm disappointed to experience so many MAGA followers hear "no evidence" and fill in "...yet! It could still be true.")
