Why do headlines have to be so stupidly specific about a meaningless part of the situation. He also (probably) shot her 'after' they had breakfast, took out the garbage, watched some reality tv show....

He shot her while she was trying to stop him from leaving with their kid and arguing about drinking.... The headline makes it sound like he caught her stealing his coins and pulled out a gun and shot her for it. This situation is obviously f'd up, but it's literally just a domestic dispute that they tried click baiting.

It will burn coal, have his name in gold letters, and never leave the dock because unlike a hotel it can't be finished before the contractors are paid.

Not sure if you're being intentional obtuse, but the point is that some things are more important than protecting members of your own in group that don't deserve protecting, even if it harms the group short term.

No doubt there are considerations to have it happen far enough ahead of the mid-terms so they can recover if it does implicate them, but doesn't the fact that Democrats are willing to push for releasing the document and Trump is pushing to hide them tell you a while lot about what's really likely in there?

Ha, that would make sense, but nope, the answer was 'anything'. Animal husbandry or underwater basket weaving? Didn't matter, just had to stapled to the letters BA.

Except for 'genius'. A PhD meant you will likely be extremely well 'informed' about a specific topic in a very narrow field. So well informed that you will be able to come up with 'something' worth saying even to others that are well informed in that same field. It's a pretty low bar with an extremely high motivation/focus/effort requirement.

I think it's similar to a job we were hiring for that was essentially cold calling companies too sell licenses for Microsoft. To apply you were required to have a BA. A BA in what, you might ask? Well that didn't even make it onto the form we used. It was just a checkbox. It was literally a gauge to see if you'd been able to stick through a program like that.

Fight 'terror' with terror.

It is arguably preying on this trait that made the pricing possibleAsode from that, you can't honestly suggest to that just 'not being that way' is a valid option. Sure that can work to a small degree for specific individuals, but 'just don't be the way you are' to solve some specific challenge, likely at the detriment to many other traits you may not want to break, is thoughtless and ignorant advice.

But you don't actually head out at that point, that's just the time you start to reckon whether you outa.

This must mainly be about a platform where you upload content, not the hardware itself?

Sometimes it's worth making an exception, just like kids and Santa Claus. Let him have this one.

It's an absolute hoax... Anything it says about Republicans that is, every word of it that implicates a Democrat is completely true... But it's an absolute hoax
