And then you have some idiot planner (probably back around the early 1900s) in Forest Hills, Queens (NYC) that decides it would be nice to have alternating one-way, single lane roads and avenues (i.e. 75th Rd., 75th Avenue, 76th Rd., 76th Ave. etc.) perpendicular to the wider two-way streets.

I am thinking they should have went with a brushed finish.

I can only see it working if it was attached to a pre-existing boat mooring, tethered to a boat (maybe houseboat) or pre-existing swimming platform, or tethered in a large pool.

I am not so sure about that. There are very different anchor designs depending on whether you have a muddy bottom or rocky bottom. Also, retrieval can be extremely problematic.

Egghead has finally been outed!

My understanding is that you only do that for the plural, not the singular.

Grabbed the Metro on impulse because it was so cheap and thought the squeeze sac was interesting. It looks and feels like a much more expensive pen.

I haven’t seen a AYCE sushi place for under $29 in NYC for over 20 years! Or at least one I felt safe in dining.

Totally unrelated to the article, but I recognize the pen in the picture as a Pilot Metropolitan fountain pen with a fine nib. LOL 

To keep them straight, I think of “i.e.” as “in explanation”.

The surname is either Chinese or European (Swedish/Scottish/Irish/English origin). The European origin generally refers to the Linden tree (Lind, Lynd, Lynn, Lynne, Linn, Lyne, etc.). Interestingly enough, there are two possible meaning for Lin in Chinese because of how it is anglicized. In Chinese, they are different…

I think that is the point. Because he is unprincipled, he is more dangerous.

Trump is not a neo-nazi. In fact, he probably has little to no convictions beyond how awesome he is. He is an opportunist who will say anything to anyone to get their support.

Also Lynn, Lynne, Lyne, and Linn, Old English spelling was a bit lax back then, especially when the surname is found in Scotland, Ireland. and Sweden.

I wonder f it is a misspelling over time of “Lind”, as in linden tree.

I think the photos were planted by Maxwell herself to throw us off the scent that she is hanging out at Taco Bell.

Trump can have the EPA outsource the scientific support to a private company, maybe to Trump MAGA Science Research and Analytics, Inc. (using the latest in Twitter-based scientific methodologies).

Department stores do not make their own clothes. The buy from other designers and manufacturers and simply have those clothes labeled as the department store brand. Consequently, there is little consistency in department store brands.

I don’t consider reupholstering the seats and replacing all the bushings minor. Also, they may need to replace the carpet, which would require pulling all the seats out. I wonder how the headliner is doing.

At any of the other gears, the gears next to them are synced (spinning at the appropriate speed) for a smooth transition. Everything is in synch, the engine, the gears, the driveshaft and the wheels.
