I hate southerners and am from a proud Union state. What the hell are you talking about?

We called it senioritis. That sudden change of excitement to dread as seniors realize they are going to be separated from the peer group they’re mostly been with for years at their local school and now have to go out and make something of themselves on a new, unfamiliar environment.

Why does this discussion immediately turn to culling and eugenics? It’s like you can’t even admit there could be a problem. Fixing it will be hard, but few suggest those steps are the solution. Instead, it starts with realizing everyone can’t have the standard 2.5 kids. We cannot just keep going. Earth is finite and has finite resources. Adding people means less and less is available to everyone else. But people that want a ton of kids hate hearing that. So it becomes solution aversion (if you don’t like a solution, deny there is a problem) and strawmen, like claiming anyone that thinks there is overpopulation wants eugenics.

I’m a fan, but they are more a Columbus team. Plus, a NCAA natty just can’t compete with a Super Bowl title.

Trust me, worse.

Cleveland

I’ve been waiting my entire life to see my team win a Super Bowl, and freaking Swifties get one their first season.

They would have to break through the screen first. Us Americans prefer not to let bugs in. And if it’s really a worry, there are stops or locks that can be put in. But honestly, it’s nice sometimes. Saved me a locksmith call more than once.

Of course, both windows could just be smashed. You want to tell me European homes are some kind of fortress that thieves can’t get in?

Or, know, we could just crack open the bottom (in the case of the popular double hung, the top) of the window a little bit. But it is-3c (yes, we Americans understand metric) where I am now, so I have no interest in doing that. No Gulf Stream keeping us relatively mild in winter over here.

Listen, you want to brag about health care, public transit, intercity high speed rail, or historic buildings, fine, you got us there. But stop with the air if superiority about everything else.

I love the juicy yolk exploding on the plate (or in my mouth). My other secret, besides fresh eggs, is to flip them without tools. https://youtu.be/OTlr2Y-nbc4?si=1uPHNAwHkV_HxV7T

I don’t see how. In any case, I see zero advantage to NOT storing them in the fridge.

Eggs don’t instantly degrade from good to bad overnight. They slowly degrade with weakening membranes and what not. As I said, they stay freshER.

I get unwashed eggs from a farm whenever I can. I still put my eggs in the fridge. And the yolks stay nice and unbroken when making eggs over easy, as I like them.

I still don’t get why you wouldn’t still put those eggs on the refrigerator. They will stay fresher longer!

Lots of companies are willing to pay for international business class, but not first class. So airlines have responded by making business class nicer and nicer. That, in turn, has made former first class passengers just buy business class because it’s almost as good for cheaper. So people are not buying first class tickets, so might as well eliminate them and add more business.

Worth noting that domestic first class (which is what they show) is a totally different thing.

Personal negative dealings with the Catholic Church

From a contemporary article:

O’Connor, in a statement Thursday in London, reiterated her objections to the church, which she holds responsible for the child abuse she suffered.

The Vatican uses “marriage, divorce and in particular birth control and abortion to control us through our children and through fear,” she said.

So, even then, it is less specific than us commonly credited todays it was not about covering up child sex abuse.

Yeah, there is a lot of revisionist history about this. This was well before the sex abuse story came out. The idea that that’s what she was protesting was lost on everyone.

John Paul II had an attempted assassination a decade before this (where he literally met with his attempted assassin to offer forgiveness), and was also leading efforts to apologize for past church participation in things like the holocaust, the slave trade, oppressing women, and even executing Galileo.

This is not to defend him. He absolutely ignored sex abuse and deserves hate, but when O’Connor did that, he was immensely popular. Tearing up his picture while singing Bob Marley’s War (a song about racism and inequality) was just a protest of which the purpose of which no viewer could figure out. She merely said “fight the real enemy” and didn’t reveal any additional reasoning until she sat for an interview a month later.

It’s still different from what most people are used to. Thee would be a learning curve. And swapping an operating is no easy task for most, either.

A ton of people can barely open a PDF and this sub thinks those people can change to a completely different operating system.

It was his first day in charge, but far from his first day with the FAA. He still had a lot of experience.

He also played himself in United 93.

I think the hard g sounds harsh and I hate it.
