Red: the blood of angry men.

Green: the blood reptilian healthcare CEO’s.

This is your annual reminder that Santa’s steeds as classically depicted are all Ladies. Male Caribou shed their antlers before Christmas. That’s right! The sleigh runs on girl power! Red One even paid homage to this fun fact this year.

Since the mid 17th century, really. And does not currently exist as an independent nation. Which is exactly the point, they were making.

The US is certainly not the oldest institution in the world. And as a people, as a culture, yes, the US is rather young. But the US is relatively mature as far as continuous national governments go, and the oldest surviving democracy.

It’s all about context. There are options that are context and age appropriate that aren’t condescending or clinically reductive.

Men’s bathroom and Women’s bathroom > male bathroom and female bathroom

“Hey, guys/gents”, “hey, girls/ladies” > “hey, men”, “hey, women”

First woman President > first female President > first girl President

Glass functioning as intended. Any deficiencies that arise are due to the failure of the customer to provide appropriate design parameters.

the sort of housing that government could relatively provide.

The sort of housing the government is willing to provide.

choose between going to a shelter or being arrested but they couldn't remain camping

Given the a choice between restricted temporary housing or imprisonment, it’s no wonder someone would choose independent living on one’s own terms. People need support for independent living not being forced into a soulless shelter room shared with strangers and a dictated schedule, where they can’t bring their children, pets, or dependent substances. It’s the same reason folks dread being shuttled off to a nursing home.

This glass has a safety factor of 2

Re: good engineer: this is the thing that frustrates me amount marketing/labeling for travel mugs or cookware; the listed capacity is the absolute brim capacity not the practical capacity. Want to put 16 oz in a 16 oz mug you’re gonna have to sip 3 ounces out first in order to put the lid on. Want to serve 2 qt soup? Gotta use the 3 qt pot.

Engineer: the glass is underutilized/over-sized

Management: Lets hire a consultant to investigate the value proposition of downsizing glasses and discuss the results over a company expensed dinner.

“They”

I’m pretty sure “acting lawfully” and “having immunity from prosecution for illegal actions” are two different things. Just because the president cannot be prosecuted does not change the fundamental nature of the deed, only the consequences thereof.

We have this drawer, maybe 2. My parents recently thinned and organized theirs. You can get cut-to-fit drawer Inserts if it bothers you.

Dismissal?

They both look so young.

I mean, if she hinders congress by not working with the republicans caucus and nothing gets done she can point at the caucus and say “I didn’t want to work with them, because they can’t get anything done.” It’s right out of the standard republican playbook, it’s just interesting to see it used on themselves from within. A real “we trained leopards to eat faces” moment

Holy shit! I did not expect them to ever be completely eradicated, let alone this quickly.

Now do varroa mites please.

I don’t wish misfortune on any person but, this is a good thing. Yes, there is a housing crisis, but part of that crisis is where and what we are constructing. If we are utilizing resources (whether it’s capital, labor, or materials) to reconstruct buildings every 3-10 years then those resources cannot be use to construct more sustainable housing.

Part of the problem is the way the flood insurance subsidization program works. Don’t get me wrong. Insurance needs to be affordable, but the program needs to adjusted so that when a claim is made in the highest risk areas, the payout is sufficient to relocate the insuree to less risky property, and the claimed property could be transferred to the department of the interior or other entity responsible for converting the land to a flood mitigation zone. (Likely reverting it back to the wetlands that were drained to build in the first place).

I wouldn’t even know where to start with fire risk zones…

She gets knocked down, but she gets up again. You’re never gonna keep her down.

Also in low light, our eyes are more sensitive to blue light, so moonlight (though not necessarily the moon itself) appears bluer than sunlight. Especially in contrast to nearby fire and coals.
