So it’ll be like one of those foreclosure “let’s trash the place before we go” situations.  Sad.

This. Perform focused meditation by repeating to yourself “I like to eat. I like my family to eat.” over and over. It’s a great motivator.

The fact that Biden (probably) won Georgia indicates a serious breakdown in the voter suppression process. Somebody better get their act together before January or heads are gonna roll, dammit!

I actually don’t think it’s a joke at all. The peaceful and willing handoff is especially important with a defeated incumbent. There will be a significant percentage of the population who feel that Biden was not legitimately elected. Combine that with a still present charismatic figurehead who will do nothing if not…

That is an insult to said Central American transfer of power.

The word for “bathroom” is the most important word to know in any language.

Thanks for clearing it up.

Right, but if a pardon without a conviction is not valid, that meant Ford’s pardon was not valid and so, say, the Carter administration could have proceeded with prosecution. I’d imagine the statute of limitations for his alleged crimes is greater than the time that would have elapsed.

Not sure - cough syrup and I have not gotten along since the time in college I tried to get shit-faced by drinking an entire bottle of Robitussin(TM) and I was violently ill for about 3 days.

That made me think of Cheetos which made me think of whatshisname. Which made me frown. Then I thought of whatshisname out on whatshisass. Which made me smile.

The map shows Washington as a medical use state but the story lists it in the recreational use category.

I think there are still a few supermarket items which are not in the recipe, it’s a shame she couldn’t work them in too.

The holiday doesn’t memorialize the plot, it memorializes the exposure and defeat of the plot. And the day isn’t in Guy Fawkes honor. They burn him in effigy. Perhaps you should have used more care when reading the Wikipedia article.

47.7% (last time I refreshed the page).

Ford’s pardon of Nixon was without a conviction, no?

18 USC, Sec 115, subsection a:

Of course, half 47.9% (as of the last time I refreshed the page) of all Americans are insane, so there’s that.

My company went to “flexible vacation time” meaning, basically, there’s no set amount you can take, just make sure your manager’s okay with it. This was ostensibly to make it easier for us but of course the real reason is so the company doesn’t have to carry a liability on their books for the accrued time. I used to…
