Ahhh, gotcha… yeah that type of retirement plan is indeed a scam!

Can you clarify how a retirement plan is a scam?

I think they would be more popular in the US if they worked as quickly here. I have one, but it takes about 4 minutes to heat 2 cups to boiling. It’s still worth it to me, but it’s not much faster than the stovetop for us. There’s something about the electric service in the UK that allows electric kettles to heat much faster there.

No true fan is bladeless.

There is no test you must pass in order to be called a fan, so Fandom is just something you decide you are. It’s just the way it is.

Maybe you could start a “True DC comics fan” certification exam, and then you can create a private community where only true certified DC comics fans are allowed to join. Then you can be assured that only real fans can answer your questions.

Are you saying that aesthetic should be called something different because anybody can achieve it regardless of wealth? Why does it matter what it’s called?

Two weeks is an exaggeration… it’s roughly a 40 hour drive. I find 10 hour driving days to be quite reasonable, so 4 days.

But, your point is valid… big country, different places will have different danger levels. Within my own city, there are areas I would feel OK leaving the front door unlocked, and other areas where I absolutely would not.

Shoot, my bad. I don’t know why my brain told me Sublime, but you’re obviously correct. Say it ain’t so…

Sublime, not Weezer. But yes, great line!

This is off topic, but why does the headline call out that the TVs are flat screen? Is it even possible to buy a non-flat-screen TV anymore?

Freedom of the press is explicitly called out in the first ammendment:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

Nice to see progress.

Raw in a salad. I find cooked spinach to be very unappealing, but raw is delicious.

How is it “destroying the town” when the measure explicitly returns redistricting control to the independent commission in 2031? It’s temporary by design to address the moment we are in.

YES to Reaper. No surprise that the original developer of Winamp makes an amazing DAW.

Maybe you don’t like his music, but there’s plenty of us that do. “United Health”, for example, was the best piece of art on that subject, bar none.

These people wouldn’t be eligible to vote until they achieved citizenship, so maybe they are figuring that the optics of following through might be mobilizing for the existing voter base.
