You teste it or put it in a pill or pouch or something?

Make children cheaper? Well I guess that'd make competition in the labor market for English speaking professionals a little easier for Americans.

Ha ha just like the tea pot dome scandal, and that bribe to a senator about mining in Teddy Roosevelt's head.

The whole allegiance of wands thing could fit that

It has always and will always grow. GOP are also the party that when they hold a majority spend like fucking mad, Bush paying for Iraq, Trump's crippling tax cuts that explicitly shifted tax burden onto the poor and middleclass. They do not care, they only pretend to care and use that as an excuse for more spending, or tax cuts for the owner class. They never fucking care when they have the ball.

If you want more money in public hands, holy shit is supporting a republican at any point from Regan to Trump the dumbest shit you could vote for. This is the party of ''goverment doesn't work'' and privatization of all public services. They have never been shy about just how little tax revenue they want to end up in gov service to citizens.

Well.... you know why. Because JK wrote them first book to last without really planning what happens next or why, and didn't bother tying stuff in to the previous books unless it occurred to her without checking.

I hope it's Groove Metal with unexpected but fitting jazz influence.

You gotta bust out that ol' thesaurus.

''Consume the abundance''

''Ingest the waxed''

''Partake in the Bloated''

''Drink down the Hog swaggle''

''Caramelize the Cashhavers''

''Snoot up the Heavy Laiden''

In the books Harmoniems is pretty flawed, book smart, but totally unfamiliar with wizard business and the magical blokes, she knows the book stuff, not the culture stuff.

Honestly Accio seemed to fail close to 80% of the time.

They'll be lining up to be air traffic controllers!! All the MIT genius. Get them.

That's the stupid part, we're not broke. We're not bogged down with debt, we own the debt, we're overspending on American business and economic output, just because we spend money and have national debt dosen't mean we are collapsing, our corporate stock market based economy needs infinite growth, so gov spending is going to ALSO always go up. That's really basic shit. He isn't fixing a desperate problem, he's looting the fucking country and hoping he gets it all done in time for a Russian airline loaded with gold to take him safely home.

Yes please. This is a time when things need to be corrected, and as long as Trump and his fascist party are in charge that will nene happen.

It was probably more to do with the destruction of the Temple that was there when Jesus was alive but destroyed 40 years later, there are many nods to this in the gospels, because it's trying to contextualize current events with the Christian religious movement, it was important that Jesus was prophetic, and him driving out vendors from the temple is a strong image, here is the messiah, rejected by the Jews he here to save, and he correcting them, telling them to remove vendors from temple ground, and they refused to listen, so God allowed the temple to be destroyed.

Or maybe it's more the image of the sacrificial animal's symbolic of the Jews being chased from their homelands by a whip god controls turned against them for their sins.

No they have a pretty solid point here, the expensive Honda are selling majority manual, the budget friendly Honda sell close to zero, but you can often only get manual on those models by paying for multiple upgrades that push the price so close to the more expensive models you would clearly just move up.

I mostly drove manual in a very mountainous geography.

Hay man, it's also glorified in hard rock as well as tv and film. It's Americana to the maxx!

Pretty much every consumer in every auto market agrees with you. There are downsides to manual, you can grind a transmission's gears to dust in a couple of days if you do it wrong, you really can't trust someone to drive your car at all, you are much more actively driving, so you're paying more attention, but you're also more stressed, if you're in bumper to bumper traffic, you will have to do the most difficult aspects of driving every few seconds to inch along for a half hour or more and that's REALLY shitty, if you need to stop on any kind of hill, you have to be aware your gonna need half a car length or more to get into gear where your just going to be falling down that hill while you convince yourself you don't need to panic and you will catch the gear before you're past the point of no return. You get better mileage, you get better control, you pay attention more, you focus more, but it's not all roses, the risks usually aren't worth it for modern car buyers.

You're like a solid 20 years behind here bud, they don't even offer manual transmissions on high end luxury cars. People don't buy them. I get it, I miss having manual cars, and it's not as hard as people always complained, I could teach a dog to drive manual over the phone, it's really not hard.
