    See below, Ghost nails it...

    Also should be noted, the founding fathers saw this coming.  They really wanted little shit ass states to be able to punch up in weight with the big boys.  If this was just some odd coincidence, I guess I'd be more moved, but the reality is it's exactly what the founding fathers wanted.  

    Well the delta between the small states and the big states was smaller at that time as well.  The big states had 10x the number of folks as the small states, whereas now, CA has 60x the number of people as WY, almost 40x of RI and Del.

    My kids brought home some thin mints. After they went to bed, I ate the last 2, then rubbed the crumbs across my teeth. It's like cocaine to me.

    You don’t rub cocaine on your teeth, you rub it on your gums. So I’ve heard.

    I bought a pair of sweatpants/joggers on the Nike app and when they arrived, I found they only have one front pocket. I double checked the pics in the app and it's not a manufacturing error. Who the fuck thinks that pants have "too much" storage, that you need to remove one of the front pockets??? There is a zippered pocket that runs down the side of the leg that you can use for your wallet or phone but it won't work if you want to put your hand in your pocket. Or don't want to have to unzip your pocket just to get your phone out. What a fucking stupid design decision.

    You bought ladies pants.

    Trump posted a $5M appeal bond, so, if she prevails on the appeal, it's hers.

    The appeals will be exhausted after the Second Circuit, because the Supremes are not going to grant cert in a case like this.

    However, as mentioned previously, the appeal raises some interesting points about excluding evidence and this is, objectively, a weird-ass case not only in terms of the lack of Trump evidence, but the sparing evidence supporting Carroll.  Can't say how that's going to go.

     

    Where TF did he get $5m from?

    Trump did not even want the US to be in the UN so it was a ghost appointment. Checkmate, lib! (Narrator's note: most MAGA don't know what the UN is or its purpose)

    Calling a female 'birdbrain' is a risky strategy IMO. Obviously it will appeal to certain demos, but could backfire.

    Grab 'em by the pussy.

    Cheat on pregnant wife with porn star.

    Take away their reproductive rights.

    Objectify his own daughter.

    But yeah, 'birdbrain' will change the mind of the female Trump supporter.

  6. I think others have alluded to this but not mentioned it outright best as I can tell.  There are several low-interest cc's out there now, like 3% to 5%, you pay that % up front and then monthly payments are 1% or in some cases 2% of the balance.  12-18 month terms.  You gotta have a decent credit score like low 700's at least, which sounds like you do at this point.  3%/18 months is the best out there now, but seems like even 5%/12 mo would be better than your current situation.  You transfer the balance from the current cc's over to the new ones....and follow all the other advice in this thread about not running up more debt.  At the end of term...rinse/repeat.

    Not if your goal is to get a relatively mainstream chair out of the way so that you can install full-on batshit MAGA leadership.  Which is clearly Lake's play.  

    Fortunately, current track records tell us that this same play will result in state GQP parties going flat-ass broke, so....good for you, Kari!

    Wasn't DeWit full on MAGA himself?  Didn't he run Trump HQ in AZ?

    My favorite part of the "inject bleach" deal was that it wasn't something random that popped up in his head, or it wasn't that he just had a brain fart and misspoke. No, that was something he was going around saying to people. And he kept being told "Dude, no. That's not a thing. Stop it." And then he tried again in a nationally televised press conference. 

    Well the problem is, no one ever told him "Dude, no. That's not a thing. Stop it."  Because the folks around him are all grifters who tell him what he wants to hear.

    Continuously drip the hot side at as many locations in your house as possible. I normally wake up in the middle of the night and run the showers a couple of times on full hot for a couple of minutes.

    This wouldn't work for me.*  My heater won't kick in unless there is a 'significant' amount of water flowing through the hot side.  For example, in my guest bathroom, the hot water in the sink will never kick in, unless the hot water in the bathtub is turned on first.

     

    *I don't have this specific problem

  10. A buddy's aunt was on the Aloha flight where the roof blew off in the 90's.  According to my buddy, she got about $280k in a settlement.  Almost everyone on that flight took that settlement, I think there were like 2-3 holdouts out of 110 or so.  Well except for the flight attendant that got sucked out, no idea what her estate got.

    So I think Alaska needs to go up just a bit from $1500.

    Kinda funny IAH today is completely full of Michigan gear but all the Huskies dudes are too shamed to wear theirs

    glass houses and all.  I went through IAH on 12/28, sporting a Texas Alumni shirt and shot the horns to a few others wearing burnt orange.  Went back through again on 1/3...not so much.
