They'll just need to smurf together the down payment.

I asked a few doctors about that when our kids were on the way. Apparently enough of us had read/heard of it that they were each prepared for the question and told me that it was, indeed, a single study that no one had yet replicated.
Cool zone?
As evidence, I present to you that I missed the negative in the beginning of your sentence and had no idea what event from five years ago people in general were angry about.
Just found it. For anyone else who was wondering, Gruden posted that 2nd photo on 23 August.
What am I missing in that screenshot that shows the pictures are from a week ago?
Not even failing on the floor, but failing in the next house or when vetoed.
I'm not sure if it was a saying earlier, but that's the title of a book Jim Hightower published in 1998.
His premise is that the GOP increasingly relies on low-propensity voters-- who'll be more dissuaded by hurdles to voting-- so . . . fair enough. But you KNOW hurdles'll be selectively applied like when OH allowed early voting for mil and senior citizens or TX allowed CCW as ID but not college IDs.
Annualized inflation during the same period was 3.9%. Seems obvious housing costs can't outstrip inflation by that much for that long (assuming her neighborhood is representative) w/o causing problems-- cost of housing will take up a larger and larger portion of income. Plus, she got to live there.
Nominal return of just over 6.8%/year, plus she got to live there.
Objection! There is no such thing as "too many books".
It's for non-military (but still BS).
Thanks. I did try googling before suggesting the Danish story, but I guess my search terms weren't up to snuff.
I think you might be thinking of the Danish king suggesting that all Danes should wear it if Jewish Danes were forced to rather than the Dutch.
Yeah, it was short hand similar to the way we describe, for example, someone from Wyoming having so many more senators than someone from California.
My guess would be somewhere between 3% and 10% and then he paid mortgage insurance.
Should Greg copy-paste whatever artwork he wants willy-nilly, or does he need to budget to acquire this existing artwork for his jokey introduction to a thread providing free information on a free forum?
C'mon, Greg. Don't you know you should commission a wholly new piece of work as your jokey introduction to a thread in which you offer up free expertise and/or jokes in a free forum. Should be budgeting at least $150 or so.
It was 3/5, wasn't it? So he'd have the representation of 61 free men?
My older one starts kindergarten in a couple weeks. We're still going to have to pay for after school care, but the difference between that and full-day preschool is almost exactly our mortgage. It's going to feel like getting a huge raise.
Someone did it, in this thread, *after* you posted this.
MZB was a little beyond "sex pest", wasn't she? Or is the term more general than I'm thinking?
Is that true universally or only among wealthier countries? I know, for example, that it's significantly easier for me to visit Ethiopia than for my brother-in-law to visit here (and he has a clean record and significant relationships to ensure his return-- things nobody asked me about for my visa).
He also suspiciously doesn't know who was president in July 2020 when Maxwell was arrested.
I pre-ordered @willwiles.bsky.social The Dead Man's Empire. If I hadn't interacted with the author here and then received a reminder here the pre-order was available, I may have simply enjoyed The Last Blade Priest and then left the sequel on my TBR indefinitely.
In this case it apparently wasn't even an hour.
I own a tux solely because I needed one once and, based on the rental price, realized if I wore it one more time in my entire life, it would be cheaper to just buy it (I have never worn it again. Yet.).
I think this story is nonsense, but I think clothes in general rent for much higher a percentage of their sale value than cars (probably a function of them wearing out faster and wear being more important to their function).
S/he's carrying on the joke started in the post to which s/he's replying.
Is the shame literally causing him to melt in the last panel?
The Economist had an article (last week or the week before) on how the UK market has begun to behave like an EM market.
Except for politics which is about power
January 6 was a dealbreaker for a few, but I don't think anyone who was ever part of his base. His base perpetrated or supported January 6.
The thing about eating naked in a restaurant is that technically you're not allowed to, but if you do it, nobody wants to be the one to kick you out.
Came here to make the joke many have already made, and I wish I'd done it sooner.
I mean, it was right there.
A possibly controversial take: I hope Batman isn't a major part of the universe. He's been done enough, he's best in gritty realism which the rest of DC isn't, and Mr Terrific can provide much of what he usually brings to the team efforts.
New Superman is Best Superman. If DC delivers a real cinematic universe like this, I might be into superhero movies again for a while.
To be fair, the house is probably really heavy.
Resist any temptation you may feel to read the comments.
I think Thanksgiving and (most of) the lead up to Christmas being at the end of fall helps people overlook just how gloomy that time of year can be. February might be cold, but at least by then the end is in sight and the days are a decent length (and getting longer).
Those little girls should have voted more wisely?
This is why fall is the worst. Days are already short, and they're just getting shorter. At least with summer, they start out long. At least with winter, they're getting longer.
Dammit, I want the behind-the-scenes answer, not what They® want us to believe!
My wife is jealous of your nail care routine.
Can answer a question I've had since I was 5: Why are the smurfs described as "three apples tall" when they only come up to Gargamel's toes? Is Gargamel a giant, or are apples particularly small in their world? (Googled the answer but figure the BlueSky collective will come up w/something better.)
Thought I saw six fingers on one of those right hands.
Can't sell the bike. New owner might want to move it. Just gotta eat the loss and buy a new bike.
I haven't given up, yet, but it does seem to be just . . . wandering. Third season is going to need to deliver.
I guess those are each actually lists of 11.
And 10 more: Peter Newman Isaac Asimov Robert Aspirin Piers Anthony Robert Charles Wilson James S. A. Corey Stephen Hunt R. Scott Baker Neil Gaiman Roger Zelazny
10 writers from whom I've read more than 5 books: Richard Kadrey Robin Hobb Melanie Rawn Robert Jordan Stephen King Terry Pratchett Joe Abercrombie Alastair Reynolds N. K. Jemisin Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman (every book I've read by one has been co-authored by the other)
I wonder if there's something British about that. I wouldn't be surprised to see something like it in a Pratchett book.
Kind of surprised Grok isn't using the triple parentheses there.
Something that never gets commented on when I see this picture, but it drives my suburban-raised brain crazy: That kid is doing an absolutely terrible job of mowing. He's not overlapping the paths! There are lines of still-long grass between the rows!
Pfft-- that doesn't even come into effect for almost another 24 months.
The argument I usually hear against two spaces is that it's no longer necessary and one space is more efficient. To which I ask: Are you prepared to give up the QWERTY keyboard, which is no longer necessary, and learn to type on a more efficient one?
Ah, yeah. I was thinking of the US only, and even here it'll vary by state.
No lie, I was in a cupcake place the other day, and they had a blue waffle cupcake and I have no idea what they were thinking.
Do utilities fluctuate that quickly? I thought water and electricity, at least, were regulated to infrequent adjustments.
I think definitely food prices. For most people that's roughly a weekly purchase, so it's going to be one of the most common transactions they make. And, going only on feels, I would guess food price inflation, other than eggs, is outpacing general inflation at the moment.
Please take this as curiosity, not authors-owe-us-more-books pressure: Is there a known release date for the 3rd book?
My buddy and his band just released some new songs. They're good. Give 'em a listen if you get a chance: youtu.be/iM9s5-bXNFE?...
It's possible you/my friends and I were shifting the ratings in the wrong direction
Oh, come now, Kai. Surely you've seen Tommy Tuberville and Lauren Boebert.
Wasn't most of the policy part of this already in place because of the NCAA's changes (or was that swimming only? Or am I just completely misremembering?)?
The first time I heard him speak, I knew there was no way he'd be winning the primary.
Am I misreading the chart? It looks like in the 3rd round, they transferred the votes of everyone who couldn't win even if they received all the votes of those ranked beneath them. That included Lander, & some portion of his 11.2% of 1st choice votes would be included in Mamdani's 3rd round tally.
I don't know the original poster, but I would assume anyone posting with a faux-Roman name on Twitter is definitely not leftist or liberal.
Probably because you'll have starved to death by the second season.
Ah, but @millerjax.bsky.social did it for me (or at least something a lot closer) below: bsky.app/profile/mill...
Probably more relevant would be the breakdown of Virginians aged 18 to, say, 30 or so. I would guess that cohort is less white than the general population, but I don't know where to verify or contradict that assumption.
The shift in black men and Hispanic men was larger than that for young white men (although Harris still won black men and essentially tied with Hispanic men): navigatorresearch.org/2024-post-el...
Very close to my own recollection. I remember laughing a lot in the first third to half and looking at my watch a lot for the final quarter or so.
It's probably my lack of sophistication with Clearsky, but it doesn't use the 2nd person when I look at it.
But as I wrote elsewhere, it's a small dataset.
I think your stats suggest that a sitting vice president is still far likelier than a sitting senator, congressman, or governor. Setting aside those veeps who succeeded because the president died or left office, you're at about 4% of veeps-- far higher than any of those other categories.
Thing is, that's still a pretty small dataset and there's a good handful in there who didn't have the opportunity to be elected while sitting as vice president because they'd already become president upon the untimely demise of their predecessor.
You get notifications when you're blocked?
Really? I don't recall hearing of this outside of wartime mass mobilization, and I'm a veteran too.
Do you mind clarifying which protest and how it made it worse?
Randomly ran into @mkorman.bsky.social today, but I was in a hurry to pick up my older daughter, so I missed the chance to thank you for all the work you're doing for our state and community. So: Thanks!
I think he was more commenting on how it's not a random geographic distribution-- which is accurate but I didn't think that nuance was necessary.
Look to your left. Now look to your right. One of you is a monster.
Look to your left. Now look to your right. One of you is a monster.
Otherwise, it's just sparkling activism.
I don't think it's that weird. Pretty much all the coverage I saw of that strike spoke about how innovative it was and how it would literally be textbooks.
Oh, I see we made the same joke, just differently.
That was Shaq!
Not to mention failing to stop for the stop sign.
This is Kindergarten Cop erasure, and I won't stand for it.
It's a lot older than that, isn't it? Or is this a specific spot updated during the Obama Administration?
What's the specific issue or event on which he's breaking?
*has blocked He corrected, in a vain attempt to make this readable.
I do wish that if it's going to make replies from accounts the reply-ee have blocked invisible, it just not indicate that there are replies to the post in question. It's admittedly my own quirk, but I'd rather not know there are comments there than know but not be able to read.
I can't stand even seeing someone shoot up in a TV show or movie (though I also dislike having blood drawn out of me).
Did they pay for his underwear? (This is why the Army issues brown underwear.)
By removed, I mean the post is still there-- just not visible from Bouie's repost.
Removed rather than deleted. And, in fairness to the poster, s/he's been engaging people on the topic but probably didn't feel like doing so with the large # of people who'd see Bouie's post (on top of the large number of followers of the account s/he originally replied to).
