Sometime between now and September, if you look to the left-hand side of the Northern Crown, what will look like a new star will shine for five days or so.
Pretty cool if you own a telescope and are into astronomy, but not exactly solar flare levels of hype here. Don’t wake up your SO and drag them out onto the lawn at 2am to show them this Nova.
Miranda knows that she can continue to pocket a majority of the restaurant profits if she can get the staff to blame each other for their discontentments.
Well America used to be just a handful of colonies along the eastern seaboard, but then there was the whole manifest destiny thing. Going west meant heading out to the new frontier. Midwesterners are people who gave up midway.
There are 8 billion people on this planet now. Surely you can find someone other than your cousin.
It really shouldn’t need to be illegal, but I guess residents of the volunteer state require a little more incentive to find dates before the holidays, rather than during them.
Man, remember that brief period of time where some people had those cell phones that had a walkie-talkie-like function. You’d be having a conversation with these people and their phone would do this weird blip noise and they’d say “Hold on,” and pull out their phone and “yeah, what’s up?” And then there would be some unintelligible gibberish and they would say “hang on, I’m inside” and then just go walk out the front door.
So a view I see a lot nowadays is that attention spans are getting shorter, especially when it comes to younger generations. And the growing success of short form content on Tiktok, Youtube and Twitter for example seems to support this claim. I have a friend in their early 20s who regularly checks their phone (sometimes...
If you want to compare your attention span to what it once was, try watching older media. The wife and I were watching the walking dead and I was getting bored and that’s only 10 years old. Try watching 2001: A Space Odyssey without any distractions. It’s torture.
Unfortunately, no. They’re going to watch Fox News talk about how this is all Biden’s fault and only the GOP can save them from suffering the same fate. They will continue to follow the same pied Piper that led them here.
So what you’re saying is that it’s important to instill strong morals and encourage critical thinking in the general populous so that we can recognize the difference between actual hate speech and what is being spun as hate speech in order to further the agendas of those who would oppress us and therefore any action made to suppress public education must be the precursor to a larger scheme to gain control by manipulating the ignorant?
His entire campaign in 2016 was ‘locking up’ Hillary. If he wasn’t able to accomplish that in 4 years, what makes him think he can follow through with this promise now that he has numerous enemies on both sides of the aisle?
Nothing short of a full-blown Shutzstaffel will fulfill even a fraction of his current campaign promises.

As more and larger industries become automated we will have all the free time we can handle. What we do as a society today will determine whether that free time is spent pursuing our personal interests, or fighting over the last scraps of a dying planet.
TL;DR: My father in law (FIL) passed away recently. I visited him a few days before he died and he confessed to knowing where some bodies are buried and wanted me to help make it right....
This all sounds a little farfetched, but if this isn’t all hot air then it sounds like Mr. Mafia has the local PD in his pockets somehow. If you want the site investigated then you’re either going to have to contact a higher power or the local news station.
Idk how it works where you are, but here 3+ bodies makes it a serial killer which means that the feds can get involved, but you pretty much just hand it off and hope for the best.
If you want to pursue it more personally, then get in touch with a local news station or an investigative journalist. If it’s a slow news day they may take the time to look into it, but they may ask you for an interview which could open you and your family up to retaliation.
If your FIL had written and signed a confession you may have more to work with because as it stands you have to hope that a valuable plot of land going unexploited is curious enough to warrant a second look. You should also be aware that if Mr. Mafia knows that it could become an issue, he may just move the bodies and then you really are just wasting everyone’s time.
Do you like a tactile click? Are you a sucker for screws? Or something you can put in any direction? Maybe it's yours or another country's power plugs?...
I’m glad that most of the older formats are gone. Screws are cumbersome, USB formats were intentionally varied for profit, and molex would break itself before you could seat it properly.
I love USB-C for its universality and SATA cables are a nice alternative to the old IDE. I wish they’d come up with a better solution to the plastic clips on my Ethernet and PSU cables.
As for my favorite… Maybe 3.5mm? I mean, it’s old as dirt but still super functional. Nice chunky clicks and usually a solid connection. I miss having a 3.5mm port on my phone. It obviously has some drawbacks, but it’s a solid contender.
