So long as you say “I’m in” after you hit Ctrl+V, it counts.

Newport News is still around, it’s the only yard that’s built every nuclear powered aircraft carrier in the world, other than the Charles de Gaulle.

In the Christmas spirit, it’s mulled hot cider.

If enough GOP Representatives are upset about it, they can either band with the Democrats to file a discharge petition to force a vote, the same way they did with the Epstein files. They could also move forward with a motion to unseat Speaker Johnson entirely. If they’re unwilling to do either then, quite frankly, I don’t want to hear about their crocodile tears.

Gerrymandering only affects the House. For the Senate and the Electoral College, the district boundaries are fixed as the state boundaries. (I’m not saying that low population states don’t have a disproportionate influence in either body, I’m just saying the boundaries are fixed.)

Ah, that’s how we wound up with reverse Polish notation.

Three no-bills.

Then grab your bat’leth and bring in the targ.

Is there, though? The subsidies were government dollars going into private insurance companies in the marketplace. It’s not that insurance rates are skyrocketing, it’s that the government is no longer chipping in. Some people are no longer going to be able to afford insurance, which means lost subscribers.

He’s not even using the pretext of a trade imbalance to justify tariffs now. This goes way beyond his authority, but Congress and the courts have been asleep at the wheel so far.

Wow, this century is a long time. Nope, just 25 years. Wait, 25 years? Y2K wasn’t that long ago, was it?

Makes sense. They each came out a week or two before Christmas. I remember finishing my college finals each year and then going to see them with my friends before going home.

Wow, that FIFA bribe worked fast.

Trying again would be in character for this DOJ. They went before a grand jury three times to try to indict the guy who threw a sandwich at an ICE agent. After the third no-bill, they switched to charging him with misdemeanors, which don’t require going before a grand jury. (A regular jury tossed those charges at trial.)

I’d say I’ve lost all respect for FIFA, but I never had any to begin with.

That usually works, but not always. The Wheel of Time audiobooks have two narrators. Michael Kramer reads when the POV is from a male character and Kate Reading reads female POVs. They apparently don’t to each other, because they pronounce many names differently. For instance, is the character Moghedien pronounced MOH-gah-deen or moh-GED-ee-in?

Does he think “Fog of War” is an actual fog bank?

I feel like weekend before Thanksgiving is pretty standard for a mountain with a robust snowmaking system. Natural conditions are still iffy, though, (even with yesterday’s snow), especially on something steep and in the trees.

I can think of two reasons: they’re either victims or co-offenders. I guess the former is better?

Our black magic markers ran dry, we had to run out to the store to get more. Give us another week.
