I am irrationally excited to hear him call the Super Bowl. I can only hope the game is worth it.

For sure. I see them in the summer a lot when I’m out on inspections, usually 4" long or so. I was really proud of myself when I didn’t let go of the ladder in shock after seeing one on the rung I was holding on to.

I’m a bridge engineer (which also means I get to design any other structure along highways, like signs) and you’re exactly right. The relevant sign code in the US specifically states that the goal is to get the center of mass of the sign as close to the center of the supporting arm as possible. The configuration in…

Tl;dr: SafeSport is a moldy fig leaf. 

More importantly, Kate had 8 years to decide whether he was worth the hell that is marrying into the British royal family. You have to love someone an awful lot to be willing to subject yourself and any of your children to constant paparazzi for the rest of their lives.

And all the aristocrats had no interest in William because they had no interest in the hell that is marrying into the Firm, especially into the direct line of succession.

That’s my head cannon on this now.

Routine maintenance and inspection of subway systems (near tracks, mind) is regularly done during revenue hours without stopping trains. So yeah, a safety walk and shelter areas are necessary.

Winter Soldier >>> Age of Ultron. 

If you give Pelosi a game plan, she will execute and hold the caucus together while doing so (see her first tenure as Speaker). We/the progressives/the DNC need to give her a coherent game plan and I have zero doubts that she’ll accomplish all objectives without irreparably fracturing the party (unlike…

Preach! Especially #7. The cranberry cake and shortbread I made for my office that got rave reviews: literally 2 pounds of butter between them. My turkey hindquarters that were amazingly moist but still crispy skin: (dry brine for 12 hours) and a stick of herbed butter for basting.

I’ll give you Bloomberg and the cheeto, but DeVos has yet to actually campaign for elected office. Both Obamas had established careers as well prior to being elected, he was just young and rose quickly.

Nice job missing the point. Both Franklin and Adams had established careers/fortunes well before turning to politics. 

It’s interesting to look at how improved medical science and changing economic realities has changed our perception of “old.” When the Constitution was written, men had generally made their fortune/were set in life by 30-35, so it was thought that they’d be in a good position at that age to guide the government for…

I nominate you to lead the DNC. This is an excellent plan.

The author of the book has a show on Netflix now. Highly recommend watching.

I’ve been using it for about 2 years, and it’s definitely not a zero-based system (which I prefer). For me, it’s more of an accountability tool similar to a food journal. Just by knowing that I have to add stuff, I spend less mindlessly.

Glad I’m not the only one who saw this. 

Only one is mentioned in the Constitution.
