I wouldn't call that definite by any stretch. Not because he wouldn't, but because honestly I feel like there's a pretty decent chance he drops dead between now and then.

Plot twist, that's who Trump was actually trying to get but there was a misunderstanding when he asked for "that guy with the fucking cushions".

Guessing less about the sign itself and more about the heavy equipment/traffic obstruction involved in getting it down.

While it's definitely PRESENT in Lord of the Rings, one could argue Frodo himself is a subversion of it. Giving the ring to someone powerful would almost inevitably result in corrupting them and (depending on just how powerful they were) would just make a new big bad. Hobbits work as ring bearers explicitly because they're not "special".

Not as far as "dumb" per se but I would accept "less smart" in exchange for physical buttons and a removable battery.

Years ago when I worked at Taco Bell someone got fired because the manager walked in on him snorting coke off the bags of strawberry they used to put on top of the fruitista freezes in the walk-in.

Also some asshole pulled a gun in drive thru during my shift because he ordered extra cheese on his 7 layer nachos and apparently did not get adequate cheese.

I mean, it could also well be just malicious incompetence covering, well...the regular kind of incompetence. If it turns out multiple cops were in and out of there during that time and all but tripped over a dead guy, that's not exactly a great look either.

It's plausible someone dumped him there thinking it was just an abandoned house and not realizing it was as active a location as it was. Or that the poor guy was ODing or something and his 'friend' tried to drop him back at his grandma's, then panicked and dumped him at the first secluded spot he saw when he realized he was dead. By the sounds of it, the wounds on his arms are the only visible wounds on the body (and it was just the random construction worker who found the guy that called them 'defensive wounds').

Maybe it's right to left and he's made a maga manga.

Tbf, I think radio absolutely used to be better before iheart and their ilk bought fucking everything and turned every goddamn station into a hypersanitized prepackaged mix of the same 10 bloody songs over and over. Therefore, by extension, I could 100% see how someone basing their opinion on what actually gets radio play could easily arrive at the conclusion that music is worse now.

Yeah, it's just a blatant lie that a phone with a removable battery can't be waterproof without being massive. I had a galaxy s5 active years ago that was, and the difference in thickness between that and the standard one was negligible.

Bassist from Train apparently fell in the shower and died recently if that counts.

Because that's the line that might actually lose them some supporters and they know it. There's still a pretty big chunk of that camp that likes to pretend "oh, that was out of context" or "oh, they didn't mean it that way, just about insert specific situation here". If they go all in with straight up racial slurs those deflections don't really work anymore.

That being said, I wouldn't put it past Trump to slip up on that soon because he's been starting to get a bit unhinged even by his usual standard as of late.

Tbf it's technically just part of a town and not an actual town but there is Mianus CT

AMC still does sensory friendly screenings, though it looks like it's only at certain locations.

Their whole strategy is basically breaking things then chucking them at the next guy and running away shouting "you touched it last!" so yeah, that tracks.

Tbf, I could ENTIRELY see a circumstance where Trump "fires" him anyway, Vance doesn't step down, Trump ignores this and proceeds to pick a new VP even though he technically can't, and both Vance and new guy spend the remainder of the election desperately trying to get orange senpai to notice them.

The spicy Thai chili one is really good on rice, too. I usually add some sriracha mayo on top and call it a poor man's poke bowl.

They can include the bath water for half price so you can make soup!

That was my thought too. This is sweeping and broad enough there's honestly likely multiple ways to just use the ruling to undo the ruling.

I used to work at a jewelers. A good quality moissanite is gonna be as close to an actual diamond you can get without getting an actual diamond if that's what you're looking for.

As far as metals, gold is the traditional choice but sterling is both less expensive and more durable. If you do go with gold, I would opt for 14 kt over 18 kt personally. The higher the karat number, the purer the gold, which sounds like a good thing but from a practical standpoint is a bit of a PITA because this in effect means higher karats are both more expensive and more fragile because gold is soft. Since typically an engagement ring is worn every day, something that can handle some wear and tear is a plus.

For settings, look for something fairly low with prongs that have a decent heft to them. Tall settings bump into shit ALL THE TIME and eventually the prongs tens to shift and the stone goes flying (again, gold is soft).

Also, look at her other jewelry and talk to her about what her tastes are. There's no rule that says it "has to be" anything if a more standard ring isn't her thing. Going with her favorite color or her birthstone and working from there can be a good option.

Particularly given that I suspect for a decent chunk of that 14%, "action" means something more along the lines of "whinge on Facebook until I get uninvited to Thanksgiving".

Having had an unfortunate amount of personal experience with a diagnosed narcissist, can confirm that that is a highly effective strategy. You can't 'logic' someone who's operating in a completely different reality and justified outrage just results in them playing the victim. Laughing at them makes them completely fucking short circuit. Hell, look at how disproportionate Trump's response was to SNL satirizing him.

CT actually does the annual increase based on inflation thing. It's at $15.60-something currently I believe. It can be done.
