Here's the best I could find- Trump's former Defense Secretary Mark Esper claimed in his book "A Sacred Oath" that Trump raised the idea of launching missiles into Mexico to combat drug cartels and proposed doing it covertly to avoid blame. Trump, when asked about this, did not deny the claim but instead chose to say "No comment"​ - https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-esper-bomb-mexico-drug-labs-deny-b2074547.html

I hope this guy has a solid alibi if that bank ever goes up in flames one day

Can definitely relate. Exploring rotten.com made quick work of my childhood innocence

Thank you, friend! Yes, first little bundle of joy in our lives. It's been quite the wild ride.

Thanks for the tip!

Fortunately we got a lot of hand-me-downs from friends. The one kicker is no matter what trick I use, the little guy loves to find just the right time to pee on me during the diaper change process

Thank you, friend!

I loved the show and definitely agree with you about season 3. I joked with my wife that "they screwed up and made the sports show about sports." Too much focus on the game, not enough on the character development/themes they explored more in seasons 1 and 2

Volunteer. The options are endless, you get to support your community and meet amazing people, and sometimes there's lunch involved.

I googled it, results vary from 250k to 500k, so not quite a million but still, that's a lot of deaths. Either way, the US government's real reason for that war was not to save the country from dictatorship ...

Do you have a source? I googled it and every site listed said you should close the lid. The only one that didn't was the New York Post, which is a famously inaccurate and overly contrarian news source.

Do you have a source? I googled it and this site said that Mythbusters found the opposite - https://www.theplumbingauthority.com/blog/2019/february/mythbusters-plumbing-edition/#:~:text=%234%20You%20should%20close%20your%20toilet%20lid%20before%20flushing&text=Mythbusters%20did%20an%20episode%20about,your%20bathroom%2C%20including%20your%20toothbrush.

Wow what timing. Struggling to get a claim approved with Anthem for a service they've been approving routinely all year. None of their customer service people can help me and I've been on the phone for the past 3 hours. Insurance companies are miserable.

There was no residual gun powder found on his hands in the autopsy, which would normally be found on someone who just fired a gun - https://www.democracynow.org/2023/10/9/headlines/officers_who_fatally_shot_stop_cop_city_activist_wont_be_charged
