The person who actually sings for Mariah nowadays :)

There’s a great Radiolab on the subject and how difficult it is to determine viability.

No worse than the rest of us: Denmark automatically incarcerates every asylum seeker and the US denied the claims of a gay Moroccan asylum seeker despite evidence (on his back) of severe torture.

He fell down the stairs by tripping on his tail!

Oooh jealous! Your cat is lucky!! My cat’s fine now, though he has a little limp and can’t jump as high :)

Was your vet having as much fun as mine picking out casts? I can almost hear yours chuckling while switching colors

My cat tore his ACL once at the same time as my boss tore hers skiing. He obviously looked way cuter all laid up. See below for reference:

I’m with you. A grilled turkey and cheese sandwich is way better than a cold one!

For everyone worrying about why deli meat is banned, pretty much any doctor will tell you to just pop it in the microwave and it’s totally fine. So Which Wich and other toasted sandwich joints will be your pregnancy friend

Exactly, especially as Austin has always been a second Silicon Valley, holding out enough tax incentives to drive CA down on its own taxes. And now you’ve got Google expanding in CO, all of them setting up shop in UT and OK, among other states, and CA really doesn’t want to piss them off

As a dane, I can tell you hygge is actually danish for “can’t afford a bigger apartment because I spent all my money on this Range Rover”. Hygge is really just a way to make yourself feel better for your bad choices.

2 months before I met my husband I dated a guy who would later become a convicted murderer so I think luck or timing are the only things that really influence finding a good partner :) thanks to all of y’all for your thoughtful advice, I was worried I’d get lambasted for my question

Those are really great examples of how to frame the conversation. Thank you!

I have a friend in the same situation as you exactly and, as the one who just kind of lucked into a good relationship, sometimes I struggle with not alienating her but also not walking on eggshells because I haven’t been in her situation really. I know the advice of “in a mixed social group, talk about other things…

Ann Richards is up in heaven or wherever just screaming.

Everything you hate all wrapped up in one photo.

My company’s fixed costs per item produced are quadruple the cost in the Rust Belt as in Mexico. If you’re going to have a culture where shareholder return determines company structure and planning, then you have to accept that the worker won’t pay $30/hour plus benefits unless they are forced to.

I work for a manufacturing company and we’re in the exact situation Carrier is in. We were going to build another plant in Mexico but now as of mid-November will build that plant in the US but fully automate that plant, having about 10% the workforce, most of whom will work on the robots. The robots in our industry…

Utilities plan their energy generation decades in advance. They hedged that CPP was a virtual certainty and have been decommissioning their coal power plants for some time. To build new ones would be an astronomical cost to rate payers and would never reach approval in any state, even a fossil fuel friendly state like…

A good friend of mine who’s high up in a state election commission (really vague to protect his identity but he’s in a purple state) confirmed widespread hacking in his state by Russia and that his coworkers in other states (eg Arizona and Ohio) dealt with it too. So part of me is hopeful, but part of me thinks we…
