Right. And people will die because of it. That's the problem, my friend.

If you live in a small town, your meds might come by mail. Your pension check too. That kind of mission critical thing. And that absentee ballot? Yeah, no, that's not gonna arrive on time.

Of course one could build alternative services. But in the meantime, at least, it will ruin a lot of things that are working properly right now. That is the point. That is the objective.

No, it is not a safe haven in times of uncertainty. Have you seen the price changes? It's incredibly unreliable.

And countries don't need to control it. If they can take it away from you, which they can through force, for example, then it doesn't matter that the system would still be afloat abroad. So you're still exposed.

Have you looked at Wikipedia already? It is a good starting point.

Drink and drive? Also, understand that in some states, you could have 1-2 drinks and depending on your body and the exact timing still be under the legal limit.

Of course responsible people have a designated driver. That definitely happens, but not as often as you would hope. So we all know that if you live near the arena, be extra careful when the game ends, because half the drivers around you are drunk. That's common sense in the big cities.

The authors got one thing wrong. They said it's the Democrats looking for a fight but that's not what's happening. Trump is looking for a fight constantly and the only question is where he's going to find one. It is irresponsible journalism to conceal that fact.

I definitely expect companies to provide continued education opportunities to employees that they value. There's a difference between taking a couple of online classes and asking the company to pay for a bachelor's degree, so of course each company is going to have to figure out what works best for them, but only foolish bosses would throw away perfectly good employees who want to improve.

That's where the mini split unit goes, lol. See the vent above it? For the pipes and wires.

Not true. He said he would reduce corruption and lower food prices. Many MAGA voters somehow believed this.

It isn't paranoia. I know how many items I have had to discard because of small stains. Light colors are a waste of money.

Yes it was. But you weren't listening.

He was a shady fuck many years ago. They got played and now they gotta deal with it.

Of course we tolerate dishonesty all the time, though.

Here's Ozzy Man's critical analysis of Johnny Howard the Prime Minister buying back guns and crushin' them ay. It may have some relevance to current American events.

Can you think of any titles from real journal articles or essays that are eye-catching?

I'm writing a document for high school students taking an English writing class, and rather than create my own examples, why not use real ones? Several of my students have expressed frustration, and I have some guidelines and brainstorming tools, but what I don't have are two dozen neat examples.

 

OSAKA – An American man known for streaming provocative videos has been arrested on suspicion of breaking into a construction site in Osaka, police said Friday.

Ramsey Khalid Ismael, 23, known as "Johnny Somali" on YouTube, was arrested with another American, Jeremiah Dwane Branch, 24, who says he is a university student, according to police.

Ismael's videos include those in which he makes light of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and makes racist comments about Japanese people.

The two men allegedly made an unauthorized entry into a hotel construction site in Osaka's Chuo Ward on Aug. 30 with Branch filming a masked Ismael at the scene, according to the police.

They have told police they will not speak until they see lawyers, police said.
