I have met people who claim to have seen ghosts. I still need more proof of ghosts than "we all saw something we couldn't explain".

You'd be speeding, too, if you had to get home to make the ziti.

I think the photo was from years before. I believe Les was chief of the volunteer fire department by then.

It's not just the government. There is a long list of billionaires in those documents. It would be a genuine eat the rich moment, and chunks of MAGA would help. It would collapse the whole system.

And yes, it needs to happen.

"Bizzare"? That's pretty much what I expected of Gabe. I don't imagine he has to work particularly hard. Most CEOs try to hide how much they don't do.

I've met him. He owns a warehouse with some office space that my wife and I rented out for a bit. Pretty chill guy, but doesn't understand his minor Internet fame.

Took some cash out of our deposit because we didn't sweep and mop the floors on our way out.

When there's something about the model that doesn't make sense, find an alternative model where it does. It's often quite enlightening.

In the case of credit scores, the model you're probably thinking of is that following all the rules as written should make your credit score go up. But this is not the case. A better model is that credit score tells the bank how much money they can get out of you. They make more money from someone who is late every once in a while. That model is more consistent with reality.

Favorite just means most preferred.

Unfortunately, it's a thing. I've had people try to merge onto the roundabout when I'm in it, and then honk at me when I didn't let them through. If any of these people ever do hit my car, I am not going to try to correct them ahead of time so that they perjurer themselves to the cop who eventually shows up to take the report.

Which I think speaks to the terrible level of driver training in America. A roundabout is a combination of things that you should already know about as a driver, like how yield signs work, and how to stay in your lane and follow lines on the road. If you can't put those thoughts together, then I question your ability to drive safely at all.

Not really, no. Cults are a very specific means of control. Almost every organization ever has some minor aspect of the BITE model, but that does not make them cults. Doing so waters down the term and is insulting to people trying to get out or have gotten out.

If you have a politician that you rank above others, then by definition, that is your favorite politician.

I'm fond of Robert La Follette (one of the loudest voices against US entry into WWI), Russ Feingold (only senator to vote against the Patriot Act), and Bernie (who doesn't need an introduction). In all of history, there are some politicians that stand above the rest.
