He was also a prolific car thief, leading to him inventing/patening improved car alarms based on his, uh, frontline knowledge of the shortcomings of the then-prevailing tech. He parlayed that into immense personal wealth (wealthiest sitting member of either chamber, I believe).

I don’t get the cartoon this time - is the bbc charging people differently based on gender or something?

Right, I understand that - and the assets poured over in the trust would avoid probate. Nonetheless, the pour-over will itself would still need to be probated, and why would you expect the second wife (who is in executrix under the will) to not probate it in the same nonconvential way requiring everyone to appear? As…

I can’t believe what this administration is doing to American families. It’s truly an outrage.

How would that avoid this situation? They’d still need to probate the pour-over will

Yeah I thought it was a totally laughable premise for that reason. No one - *no one* - would have thought it was a good idea to put that content blocker into children. The concept never would have made it past the whiteboard.

I think he’s confusing (i) the fact representative are usually adressed as “Congressman/Congresswoman” while senators are usually addressed as “Senator” with (ii) the fact that, honorifics notwithstanding, both the HoR and Senate collectively make up the legislative branch of the federal government called “Congress.”

Even if the Supreme Court rules gerrymandering is unconstitutional, I’m not sure new districts would be drawn up in time for the midterms. Especially since you’d expect as a matter of procedure that there would then need to be a separate challenge in each state saying “this map is also unconstitutionally gerrymandered…

I agree with you by and large. There’s a bunch of games I’d like to have on switch, but I can’t justify paying what they’re asking for something I already have X copies of. Seems like it will work itself out over time though - people will buy at the original price if they don’t already have the game, and wait for a…

Oh wow. This is ... something.

Well there must have been at least - I dunno - 2 or 3 hours during his 10 day tenure where he wasn’t talking to the media, so maybe he could write something covering those precious few moments very, very deeply?

Brooklynite sounds a little weird, but all the other formulations I can think of sound even worse.

Yo - where’s my UK update at?

I agree, but I’d also say that’s easier at a local level than national.

Just for decoration? I’ve been using Colorado-shaped cutting boards for chopping my entire life. Depending on the job, sometimes I’ll bust out a Dakota instead.

I actually like it a lot (not from MD, for the record). At least it’s not just the state seal on a blue background like about 50% of them.
