And I hope it was adjusted for inflation.

I hope the woman he raped (and any other women he assaulted while at Baylor) sue the school/file Title IX complaints and get fines for the value of the football budget from the last 2 years.

As a Princeton alumnae, I’m going to start a movement to tie fund management fees to payouts for university operations/financial aid/etc. Because good freaking grief.

Grad school doesn’t count because you tend to get paid to go to grad school (especially in the sciences) since you’re doing research/teaching at that point.

I don’t have a ring, but I do have a rider for a vintage Rolex that has a fair value in the same range. The insurance rider on my renters was about $80 and is definitely worth it (though frankly, I’ve never actually found a duplicate of the watch I have).

I don’t have kids yet, but my parents had me help cooking at a young age. The process taught me how to follow directions, use tools, measure things, and even some basic math along with the actual skills of cooking. My first time multiplying fractions was “helping” my mom double a recipe when I was 7.

I trim mainly because otherwise it gets tangled down there and shit gets complicated. Mr. Bridge shaves lightly (somewhere between stubble and 1/4”). He’s done this since before we met (so I presume) and I don’t care enough to comment on it.

For S&R in the national parks in general, they make you pay if it was your fault (ie went out in the middle of a blizzards, purposely went off trail and got hurt, etc). But you’re not on the hook if you were on a trail and the perfectly good bridge you were using collapsed while you were on it.

So how do the Ravens get away with the full leg black pants/socks combo when they do the all-black uniform? Does the team just pay the fine rather than the players?

Harry is actually really put out (so I’ve read) that he’s being forced to retire as he loves military life. At this point, with the succession secure past his generation, I really don’t see why he can’t be allowed to continue in the army. Andrew was also a much better figure in the military compared to when he…

I’m hoping that it hasn’t cleared customs yet and it will get burned along with confiscated ivory.

Moose a) aren’t endangered and b) are good eating. Hunting a moose, eating the meat (for about a year, seriously those things are huge) and then sticking the head on a wall is perfectly reasonable. Hunting for the just the sake of the kill though, that’s animal abuse.

yes, please. where do I sign?

Ok, fine. Here’s another way to phrase it: can you do one of those co-op things where readers nominate their favorite email app for Android? I’d like to see head-to-head comparisons of what’s out there.

She has it right. The Court of Appeals was affirming the ruling of the lower court as constitutional, which ruled that the ban was unconstitutional. Awkward, but right.

If I use Mailbox and am happy with it, why should I care about Inbox?

Labor being about 50% of a project is about right, though. Contractors rarely cut on labor, it will be the materials that they’ll low ball.

Also, if it’s primarily indoor work, see about doing it during the winter. Contractors are less busy so they’re looking for jobs to keep their crews busy so you’ll probably get a good rate on labor and a less distracted GC.

I’m not sure you need an architect for that, just a clear idea of what you want the end result to be. Writing everything down and giving the package to each contractor you want a bid from is a good idea though.

A lot of design groups work with specific manufacturers so yeah...Honestly, finding a contractor with a grade A master carpenter would be the way I’d go. They’re more inclined to be able to put the kitchen together in a way that is usable since they’ll construct it. The designer my parents had for their kitchen was…
