    Which of the representatives who voted to remove him do you expect to change their vote?

    Nonstop >> 1 stop >>>> 2+ stops. Then I look for flights that fit my other travel plans. I don't mind the early flights, even though I am very much not a morning person, as you have less chance of things getting messed up, and more time to do something that day where you are going. I'd consider the discount airlines if the stops/schedule is good, but I wouldn't pick them just for the low cost. And yes, Southwest is not a discount carrier, but I will happily fly them if they fit my criteria above, which for some routes they do.

    Help my gringo dumbass with this: Does this mean something like 'Imagine you live in Switzerland and do not have these things?' or something like that?

    On the very first day in forever that the high drops below 100 to 99? I don't think we are done here.

    Did pinch snek's tail, which it probably didn't like much.

    I figure you will pay more in interest than you will get on the money you did not pay, so you come out a little behind financing either way, usually. But when I bought a new car 5 years ago, I decided to go halfway: I paid half in cash, and financed the other half. My credit reports usually mentioned lack of installment payments for things like car loans for the main reason my score wasn't better. So I financed half to help my score. That arrangement made sense, I think I'll do that next time.

    Why does the value drop affect why you would pay cash or finance? I don't see why it would make any difference. I know that buying slightly used cars is financially better than buying new, but I have been happier with the cars I bought new and got what I wanted.

    Have you paid any attention at all to the Republican party in the last 20 years???

    Fortunately, no.

    I figure that the camera angle is designed to make it easy to identify people, that seems like the point of a mug shot. Lots of these are super overexposed which seems odd.

    He will most certainly win the nomination, unless he keels over dead, and maybe even then. The indications will completely solidify his position in the GOP primary.

    Maybe we could get all the invasive Burmese pythons to take over Mar-A-Lago.

    It has occurred to me, that those giant cruise ships look very top heavy and would be very vulnerable to a torpedo hit or other underwater damage. Sending them into a minefield would probably work as well.

    I got one in the 45.

    See page 144 of this thread. It was the top result for googling 'RICO Gatorubet site:surlyhorns.com'. That site: part is very useful for searching message board that have bad built-in search.

    Probably something like this. Has she talked to the apartment management? They are probably looking to get rid of abandoned junk more than pissing off residents so she might get a reprieve if it is inspected and just needs the sticker.

    No, they are hoping that this ticket pulls enough votes away from Biden so that Trump gets to 270.

    All this annoying behavior by hotels had me change my habits, now I just bring my own shampoo and soap on a trip, then I don't have to worry about the inadequate supplies that hotels provide.

    Investing in collectibles only makes sense for things you like collecting for their own sake. They generally have poor returns, especially considering transaction costs, liquidity, and the alternatives. But if you like something enough to collect it, you have something cool, and usually worth at least something, for your fun. It adds some financial diversity. But if you are just looking for an investment, collectibles would just be a money pit. Stacking precious metals could be an example of that, if you want to channel your inner dragon, you could collect gold pieces or whatever, and have something to sell if you wanted or needed to. But I would not expect high returns.

    And real soon now, we are going to get an even more massive deluge of scams using generative AI to automate fraud even more. I am pessimistic that the only real 'killer app' of this latest batch of generative AI is going to be fraud.

    YBCO works at atmospheric pressure. If it was indeed suitable as an industrial superconductor, using only liquid N2, it would have completely replaced the old-school stuff that needs liquid helium, which is far more expensive. But it hasn't.

    I figured that you would want to weight the '20-23 SWING' by the number of voters to make something that can be averaged sensibly. Just averaging the raw values doesn't make much sense.
