“The new Reiwa era was ushered in and we are hosting the Group of 20 summit,” Foreign Minister Kono was quoted by Mainichi as saying. “As many news organizations write Chinese President Xi Jinping and South Korean President Moon Jae-in (in the family name, first name order), it is desirable for Prime Minister Shinzo…

Wegmans is a big one up here in the northeast. Nice grocery store chain, often shows up high in the list of “best places to work”. I’ve heard of Safeway, but couldn’t tell you their geographical whereabouts.

Yeah, I remember my family went to Aldi’s all the time when I was a kid 30-something years ago in Missouri. (Come to think of it, maybe THAT’s how my parents managed to afford 4 kids.)

It’s time to come up to the lab and see what’s on the slab.

I have this same question every time I’m driving to visit my parents and going on the “Express” lanes of I-271 east of Cleveland. I grant you, it’s more limited access, so I guess you can miss when traffic backs up off of the off-ramps during rush hour, but it’s the same speed limit as the non-Express lanes.

Yes, the FFVII Versus guide! That’s the one my college roommate had, so I was familiar with it the most. I eventually spent too much money buying a used copy off of eBay some years back...

The distribution of the multiplication through the parentheses is the best answer I’ve seen. The problem I have with the 9 “solution” is that it ADDS an implicit set of parentheses around the (6 / 2) portion. I couldn’t articulate why it was wrong, but you’ve nailed it.

Was that the season they had a 5OT game (like 3rd longest in NHL history, at least at the time), or was that the following season? I was in college, and came in about OT3 and watched to the end, at stupid-o’clock-in-the-morning.

It’s how I earn a living at the present moment, until my employers realize they’ve been throwing that money down a trash chute.

I actually got one a few years ago for our trip down to Disney World and back. For 2+ days of stopping, I figured I’d get use out of my annual dues and have them help me pick the best route and find decent places to overnight.

To misappropriate from a Mark Twain story: “TRY TO MAKE IT THE LATTER”...

I’m probably going to regret this, but... floor mayo?

I find it hard to believe that during about 4 stages in a single tournament, all cards of a certain type could have new sleeves damaged in exactly the same way.

Read up on the Sutherland Portrait of Churchill. I saw this when they included it on Netflix’s The Crown, then looked it up. The story with what happened to it is great.

You forgot pork steaks.

Don’t do Imo’s if you do. Find a more local joint for the pizza. “Tradition” be damned, Imo’s is chain crap at this point.

I grew up in St. Louis, and might even defend the pizza, but I’m not sure I’d defend it from Imo’s. (It might be “traditional” from Imo’s, but that doesn’t mean it’s any *good* from there...)

Dunno what it was, but since eating catfish as a kid, it makes me want to throw up. Don’t think I actually have, but on several occasions, I could feel my stomach heaving.
