Budget is the single biggest predictor of box office (r = about .66 iirc). I don’t think you can just compare ratios like that - I think the effect would be multiplicative. (Though I’m too fuzzy minded to figure out what the better math would be right now.) And it’s a huge correlation compared to anything else that…

I thought it was funny at first, then changed my mind as it sunk in.

I actually this same story on a tabloid cover here in Canada two or three weeks ago, can’t remember when or which tabloid.

The reflection is the other side of his face. So his facial expression must be crooked.

The whole city looks the same, outside of downtown. All that post-war housing. Lots of little bungalows.

I’m near the McKernan/Belgravia LRT, on 75th

When I was a kid we never locked our door until some people came through one day when no one was home and stole some money. Our dog was useless. (They fed him some lunch meat from the fridge.)

Ok, those are bad. The stuff I read was nowhere near as bad. At the same time I do think she was trying to help women get more control over their bodies.

They need to come up with a cure for fetishes.

I have a housemate who keeps forgetting to lock the front door when she comes in at night. I check it before bed, but worry she’s going to go out again after that. I’ve asked her to try to remember and she was getting better, but she forgot last night.

Do you have documentation for this? I was under the impression she started it because poor white women asked her for help - having too many babies was killing them (the way it wore out her mother).

That’s how much snow we had outside yesterday morning, after we got a big dump, but it’s melting again and should be gone by the end of the week. It’s pretty, isn’t it? Your view is nicer, though.

At the risk of sounding really old, it’s likely she’s trying on a variety of identities and may continue to do so through her twenties. Like, don’t assume she will stay with this same identity for the rest of her life (unless you knew this was coming years ago because it’s been obvious to you that she’s non-binary).

Yeah, but he got a great movie poster.

Those are people voting in the primaries, who have higher average incomes than the general population. The author of the Cracked article was talking about people he grew up with, and why they would lean towards someone like Trump ideologically.

I liked that article too. I’m in Canada, wondering how much more outrageous things will get before it’s all over.

Maybe start all over again from the beginning? A cautious first date, then a cautious second one, etc. It it were me I’d be curious just to see if I could get closure one way or the other. Unless I already had closure, but it sounds like you don’t.

Ativan stopped working on me a while back. Even two didn’t help. Better send a bottle.

Yeah, real gold. I’ve seen gold plated cutlery but never a gold trimmed table before. I wonder about the chairs.

Does it have fossils in it? My mother’s “marble” coffee table has fossils in it (it’s recrystallized limestone, =very very very low grade marble?), and I’ve always wanted to “test” it with an acid to make it fizz. (I was going to say “drop acid”, but that sounds like something else entirely.) Vinegar on marble - is it…
