So, basically, you hate primary prevention because something something idea of driving.

But do you know what’s perfect for t-boning your s-2000 onto train tracks to collect the auto and life insurance money?

And now I know why insuring a comparable Subaru (forget which it was, maybe it was WRX or STI or maybe something else) would have cost so much more than my Mazda 3. I thought it was just something about four wheel drives.

Of course, there are two major issues:

Having read it on NPR when it was first posted, the one about Bernie actually knowing how he’s doing in the polls was just a bunch of people pointing out that the use of “still” in the title inappropriately implies that a campaign that he been consistently climbing in the polls is foundering. Meanwhile, their write up…

Probably not a good idea to force the Jewish president to get a tattoo.

Or just make all the Titans brand new sidekicks.

At the same time, everybody thinks he works hard, that his laziness is justified, and that his ways of lining his pocket are moral because it makes him more money. Even billionaire housewives talk about how overworked they are.

You do realize that you’re trying to justify something as moral and good for the consumer with the argument that it pads your pockets, right?

Kind of a false dichotomy, not to mention that it’s easier to see something as an artistic choice when the people making have the capabilities to have a choice.

The bigger influence is likely that the ultra-orthodox are highly isolationist and anti-assimilation, a tradition that goes back to Europe and was reinforced by the most assimilated and accepted Jewish community in the world being the now gone German Jews. While this sometimes is fair enough (why the hell should they…

Sounds a bit like Ann Veronica.

It’s not actually heated, but linoleum (true linoleum, not vinyl) owes much of its early popularity to how warm it feels to the touch (likely due to low conductivity and... specific heat?).

I think that’s partly people having to steer the show to the house they already picked, Victorian architecture being designed from the outside in (always leads to impracticality), and people not knowing to add “revival” to their style requests.

Yeah, but that mother-son relationship was pretty strained and dysfunctional even by Russian family standards. Like, normal for them is his grandfather disconecting the phone after having a stroke so his wife couldn’t force him to stay married to her by calling an ambulance, and my supervisor’s wife having borderline…

My old supervisor’s grandfather was raised as an orphan because his (the granfather’s) mother was jailed for criticizing the soviet party and his father was jailed for his wife criticizing the soviet party.

And then you get really problematic cases like the guy who reported to the police that he’d been drugged (apperantly confirmed by a hospital) and woke up to find a woman raping him, but ended up arrested because the woman he’d accused had made a counter-accusation of rape when investigators questioned her.

But it’s already empty there. It’s a bagel.

Except for russian salads, which will give you an instant heart attack.

Hot pot?
