The second I have to use regular expressions I'm turning straight.

Sleep with the queen of Spain. But yeah let's be honest, he wasn't exactly the first.

Chromecast doesn't work on most hotels WiFi anyway. At least it won't work if they have a page to sign into the WiFi after connecting. Pretty much have to use a HDMI cable in most cases

I know you meant to have the word "no" in there, but I'm loving the idea a business tiger getting used to his new environment

I'll be much more irritated if you're on the sidewalk. It's more dangerous for pedestrians and for you. When you're biking you expect to have to pass people whether it's because they're a slower cyclist or using a escooter. My old apartment had an exit at a blind corner and dealing with escooter riders on the sidewalk was hellish. I would pull out slowly so that pedestrians had plenty of time to stop, but when scooters became popular I had to start creating forward at a painfully slow pace because people going bike speeds somehow thought it was okay to be on the sidewalk.

Or that they use child slave labor.*

*Note: they don't own slaves just contract work out to slave owners

It's worded in such a way as to be meaningless - half of what? The original number of Russian soldiers, the original number plus Wagner and other extra troops, the current number deployed with/without mercenaries? Plus Russia's numbers don't look like US numbers, don't quite look like Ukraines numbers.

That said heres the first source I found:

Russia’s military casualties, the officials said, are approaching 300,000. The number includes as many as 120,000 deaths and 170,000 to 180,000 injured troops. The Russian numbers dwarf the Ukrainian figures, which the officials put at close to 70,000 killed and 100,000 to 120,000 wounded.

...

Russia has almost triple that number, with 1,330,000 active-duty, reserve and paramilitary troops — most of the latter from the Wagner Group.

Those numbers refer to the current number of deployed and undeployed Russian soldiers plus mercenaries, which is clearly not the numbers the ad is using.

To be clear, I fully support Ukraine and fully support the US guaranteeing missile manufacturers that we will buy new missiles even if the war ends tomorrow to incentivise greater production. I just think the ad played with the numbers until they said what we want them to say.

It's not the entire plot, but it gives you a pretty good idea of the rest.

If this really is your primary reason, talk to your partner about adoption or foster care. There's no guilt but you can still have all the wonderful things

Yeah. I was so stoked when I got this name before I learned how it all worked

Yep. The standard Hollywood eyes are pretty close to how my dad's look. Only Hollywood tends to do grey while his are a very pale blue. I didn't actually learn he technically had brown eyes until I was in my late teens.
