No, it’s Granny’s simple truth that she is always right, and if things aren’t arranged as she desires it’s because things are being done right.

Did you know in the board game Streetcar it’s possible to prevent someone from ever being able to complete their run? Not great for marital felicity.

I’m just gonna grab a load of cars when I head through Detroit in case I get derailed, but I’m probably tossing them overboard in Kansas City. That’s how real life works isn’t it?

offering to let your neighbor borrow a weird tool you have when you see they could use it (post digger, blade sharpener, jaw saw). Bonus points if you offer to do it yourself.

we had a 50's cape with radiators outside Boston. We put window ACs in the upstairs and plastic strip sheeting at the top of the stairs for an air barriers. If we hadn't moved there would have been some serious renovation.

A lot of New England is oil though, and we were a lot more than 100 in the winter (also an old house though). Also a lot of the NE housing stock is old so installing window ACs is expensive, loud, and inconvenient which probably doesn't help normalize it. Mini splits will fix that I guess.

There was a 6 in the parking lot this morning that looked nice. Only really noticed it because of the truck like backup alert.

You need to figure out criteria first, like the Dak play wasn't objectively the worst play call, but had some pretty disastrous failure modes. Do results matter, or just the play as called being a terrible idea?

Extra hard for me since my dad loved the witches books and was waiting for this one when he died. Also a book that needed a bit more love and direction to tie the threads together, it didn’t quite get there.

It's saying that the artist receives 6375 to complete the work, which is estimated at 14 months. There's more money later, but it isn't up front so doesn't help your immediate cash flow issues.

I think having natural travel checkpoints is probably the more important factor. Manhattan is pretty much the dream case. You could toll 93, but that leaves a million other entry points and no clear diving lines.

depends on the specific state and details, but many state workers are social security exempt.

And state jobs with pensions are still exempt. Just rocks for brains.

My favorite is these patch notes: hearthstone.blizzard.com/en-us/news/2... . Search for humble blessings (context was this was the reverse of the buff from the previous patch).

We should be thought of as an AI company, as I start a different AI company which I guess is competing with it but have absolutely no conflict of interests here…Truly amazing.

My best (and nearly only) gambling involved a bar in the Netherlands where I didn’t understand the language or machine and managed to win 3 bucks or so, but then won 4 double or nothings in a row trying to work out how to cash out. So that was lucrative for the time.

I mean, Alito and Thomas live in NoVa, so it probably depends on how you interpret "in VA."

It's median, not mean, so that shouldn't matter. Quartile data might be more interesting though.

Not that it's likely a huge change, but using median household is kind of weird, since you need to account for changes in the household size and number of earners.

My dad was a cheap bastard, so donating regularly for charity AND a spaghetti dinner was way too much to pass up. We started together and I’ve kept it up to honor him. Monday will be 8 gallons at VA RC, not counting pre digital records they’ve lost and all my MA donations.

So I evidently live near one of the highest volume costcos. But they've really upped their game as well, so that they tend to have 12 express registers fully staffed on weekends. If you know the 10 things you want, and stick them in the cart tag up, you can be in and out super fast.

Probably not for once. Around here prices run brand name grocery super sale < costco < discount grocery = grocery sale < grocery. And certain things are much cheaper at costco, but brands can be limited. But if you aren't searching for sales, and understand when you can make a fast trip...

I mean you can, it just involves them buying even more power than you are buying from them. Also I hope you want that power over 2 us.

All the special flavors of Diet Coke have been pretty awful. The LoL one was bad but kind of grew on you to acceptable if you had a few. I’ll stick with plain and cherry.

I actually like going postal as an intro, it’s way more modern and flows better than some of the older works, doesn’t have too many older character callbacks that are inscrutable, and is a strong standalone story that ties the theme to modern life.

I know a few people who do the WV to DC commute, but if it wasn’t likely to get rugpulled I’d know a bunch more who would be willing to spend a night in DC once a week and live in WV.
