Guinea is hard to find. Where in PA? That’s where I’m at but I haven’t heard of this place.
I had hope that this would be a blip of an assault and a ceasefire would be brokered. Now, it feels almost certain that one of the most cursed regions in the world is going to be plunged into a civil war without a clear justification, and where everyone loses.
Climate change has been particularly unsettling this summer because it has felt like a constant reminder that it can’t be escaped. Even if you aren’t in Florida or Arizona or Greenland, even if you feel like you’re insulated up in Vermont or Canada – bam, 11 inches of rain in 24 hours.
I’m down! The more turn-based games the better. Final Fantasy tactics is one of the best games of all time
I’m not surprised at all. Even if I WANTED to move, we wouldn’t be able to afford to buy our house back on the open market. We got lucky, and now we’re stuck.
Building or buying up in this market feels like a dream, so we’re slowly improving the house we have to fit our needs.
Fascinating. This is way more buttoned up and controlled than I thought it would be.
Great article. If Morocco’s claim is rejected, what’s stopping Algeria from trying to step into that power vacuum? Does Western Sahara have any sort of organized military that could resist against armed conflict over its resources?
I wouldn’t be surprised if we just saw the region become a capitalism pseudo-country, with US/China coming in to buy off the resources.
I like the concept of being able to talk openly about mens’ issues. That liberation name is unfortunate; in my opinion, it definitely sounds at least apologetic towards misogyny. What do we have to be liberated from?
First whole bean coffee? Oh man, welcome to the good stuff.
No matter what coffee purists tell you, the single best change to my daily coffee quality of life was simply going from ground to grinding fresh whole beans every morning. I will never go back.
Regarding the question of whether it’s stupid or not – how much would you be kicking yourself if one of your neighbors purchased it from you instead?
In my mind, any chance you get to increase your land and you buffer zone is an absolute positive.
What are your options? For example, I would rather daily an '89 Corolla over a '01 Kia.
What is your budget for maintenance? There will be nuisance items go like seals and gaskets due to age, even if the engine runs strong.
What is the price? For a car that’s almost 35 years old, it better be low.
If you have a low budget, don’t have a crazy commute, and can get a couple years out of this car for a couple grand, it could be exceptionally wise decision compared to a $600/mo car payment.
Hilariously, this fine is probably not even large enough for them to spin off a shell company and declare bankruptcy on the debts. They’ll just shrug and move on. Toothless.
Yep. And it worked all the way up to the Stanford presidency. Even now he is “only” a tenured professor.
Surprisingly melancholy comic.
They can’t even do bullshit PR correctly. You do the listening tour before the steady stream of unpopular decisions that go against the feedback you just collected.
-Password crackdown
-Removal of Basic Plan
-Aggressive advertising to up-package
-Focus on 1-3 years of low-budget ‘reality’ TV
Yikes. Netflix is hellbent on extracting maximum revenue possible, regardless of how shitty their product gets in the meantime.
I respect the remote grind but that does NOT look good in public office
Insurance companies are about the purest form of capitalism around. If they aren’t making money, they aren’t going to participate. This is going to be a problem for California, Florida, Louisiana, and places in the Mountain West.
Quite a few. I grew up in a conservative, racist family. It took me a long time to unwind the problematic casual phrases I grew up with. I’m not proud of it, and I occasionally cringe looking backwards. I realize now the tremendous weight and damage those phrases could do. Now I just try to be better day by day, and to make sure I don’t perpetuate those damaging habits in my own children.
Among the wealthy there will always be the search for the rare and exotic. I’m not surprised that this has become some kind of distorted 'destination"
