Thanks, dad

That’s precisely when you bet on it.

Something that was said to me long ago by somebody I admired when I was a fuckwit teenager, “if you’re not embarrassed of the person you were last year, you’re not growing enough.” That has stuck with me for decades, I find it still applies and I’m scared of when I could realize it doesn’t.

And famously Trump didn’t actually write any of it.

It’s a fantastic format from a docuseries on David Beckham.

On October 4th, the documentary series BECKHAM about the life and career of the British football player David Beckham premiered on Netflix. During an interview with Beckham’s wife Victoria, “Posh Spice” of the Spice Girls band, Victoria tells the interviewer that both she and her husband came from working-class families, with David interrupting and telling her to be honest, with Victoria reluctantly admitting that her father had a Rolls-Royce:

- [Victoria] We both come from families that worked really hard. Both of our parents work really hard. We’re very working, working class.
- [David] Be honest.
- [V] I am being honest!
- [D] Be honest.
- [V] I am being honest!
- [D] What car did your dad drive you to school in?
- [V] So, my dad did-
- [D] No. One answer. What car was it?
- [V] It’s not a simple answer because-
- [D] What car did your dad drive you to school in?
- [V] It depends…
- [D] No, no, no, no, no.
- [V] Okay, In the 80s, my dad had a Rolls-Royce.
- [D] Thank you.

You seem to be missing the point, the Nintendo Switch is handily the most popular game console in US gaming history. It has officially sold more units than the PS2.

I’m sorry that you don’t appreciate the switch, it’s an amazing general purpose gaming console.

They will almost certainly change the rules once the injunction finalizes. Call your representative and tell them what’s going on.

Christ with a bejeweled handbag, does somebody have a link to the juicy transcript?

You seem like the kind of person I would avoid at a barbecue.

You think being sold to private equity is going to make them remove the shelf locks?

Well, it took private equity over a decade to eventually kill Toys ”R” Us. Two years would be speed running their demise.

And what does this say about the newly confirmed Secretary of Education? The whole point of having such a position at the Cabinet level is to give Congress some control over executive departments.

I was speaking anecdotally, but it’s good to back that up with some data.

Page 15, Table 1 shows a clean table, with Denmark in the bottom 10 for large hail size in European countries; relative to places like Germany, large hail (the kinds you’d really want to avoid while on a bike) in Denmark is considerably more rare. That study only has two citations, though, so not the greatest source.

This survey is much better cited and comments on hail throughout Europe and in Denmark, but I can’t access the PDF at the moment: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0169809516300291

I never said they don’t get hail, I said they don’t get regular hail. In general, hail is uncommon in Denmark, and large hail is even more rare.

Yeah… pretty sure Denmark doesn’t get regular thunderstorms or hail storms.

Taking a vacation road trip from Florida to the Grand Canyon with three kids with only bikes also comes at quite the cost. Bikes are great, but in many practical scenarios they are slow. Not all of us live in Manhattan, or a dense city, or even a well connected and safe to traverse suburb.

Bikes cost time.

Just in case this needs to be painfully spelled out: 100% don’t do that

No, by definition a Constitutional Amendment would be part of the Constitution. All branches of government derive their authority from the Constitution. Simply put, the Constitution is above SCOTUS.

The Supreme Court can intercede if the process for ratification is not followed, but as long as the agreed upon process is followed there is literally nothing a judge could do.

Yeah… their team won. The idea that Trump voters will be ousted first is more fantastical than an actual day dream.

Oh, so the people who need it the most, fantastic.
