I'm not kidding, of the people I know who they themselves started a family farm, one is a surgeon, one is an architect, and one is an electrical engineer.

When you think "family farm" there are really only three types: tax shelter, amusement park, or boutique gardening products

"Small family farms" are a pastoralist fantasy.
I, personally, a city-dwelling indoor cat, know several people who maintain a minimum viable farm for tax purposes only.

Part of getting an inspection is knowing things in the house your FIL will be breaking when he says "I could definitely fix that up!"

It needs to be factored in to the price

If someone asked me in person who I voted for I would pity them, unleashing a six hour lecture on my perspective of American politics starting in roughly 97

Yes we are including my votes for Cam Gordon, ward 2

Not trying to point to stocks as The Thing That Matters. There are real human costs that are unjust and inhumane.

But there are a lot of dumb people in power for whom this is the only metric in their lives, and they exist to make green line go up.

The cultural legacy of the energy crisis of the 70s, as someone who didn't live through it, is the reason why like a third of buildings in Midwest institutions are built six stories deep

Everyone in America is kind of battered about it, like, oh, this dipshit is still around, but every person on earth is affected by oil - it affects food, shipping, transportation, jobs everywhere. All the fault of one particular person in one particular country.

You can point to big events in the past, big idiot moments led by America, but they didn't affect everyone on earth the way this does.

Really the first time in my lifetime which the whole world, every country, is suffering from having an idiot in the white house

Not the point of your story but MSP has a cell phone parking lot! You don't even have to circle!

The design of the gates means that there will always be a horrible arrivals pickup area. It's unfixable and ungrowable.

People park three lanes out now. It's insane.

Planes Fire and Rescue has some surprisingly off-the-mark jokes for a movie about a talking plane

They say daylight savings time switches have a measurable effect on mortality, maybe it will happen today?

If you're booked 4 weeks out and your main product is single-use aircraft, that's a bad sign for everyone else

Starting a war already in the hole, has this ever happened in US history?

All the assumptions are out the window. Rally round deez nuts.

There are two ways to pack for a trip

-How little you can get away with

-How much you can get away with

I am the latter

What I love about zillow is how often it asks me what I would do with an extra million dollars.

Would I fix up this mansion with 500k? Absolutely. Sounds wonderful. OK, now the next part, money, hmmm

You're right. I'm pretending that the DHS funding shutdown will continue forever and that his confirmation won't count.

I think in his heart of hearts Mullins is a cowardly man

Congrats to Noem for being the final confirmed secretary of DHS. You represented its legacy perfectly.

Like he's a War Official from the War Department talking about War planes. Just tell everyone it's a war and let the Rs spend their time explaining.

Rs shouldn't bother explaining but they seem to want to get stuck on this point

The messaging front here is stupid, in either direction. Dems shouldn't bother trying to parse republican semantics, especially given how inconsistent the terminology had been.

Officials from Department of War describing a big bombing campaign that everyone is calling The War are wasting their time
