Or elsewhere if you don’t want to give them money. I like the unscented oil. I smell good enough on my own.

Most beard oil is combinations of the same stuff and pretty inflated in price. I use honest Amish, which is nothing special but you can get 2 oz bottles on Amazon for less than most 1 oz options

I know it’s less important than the stupid fucking hat, and the ship has long since sailed and Dems do it too, but I don’t think the President should salute troops either. It’s explicitly a civilian office (despite being Commander in Chief).

They could have even relatively cheaply added another stairwell at one end of the corridor (there was no unit there). Instead we had a nice window looking out at the nearby park.

I lived in student housing in Sweden and it was a double loaded corridor. With a single stairwell.

Business is down a bit, but I have what I think is an ingenious marketing plan that will attract many new bowlers that I’ll be rolling out shortly.

My employer also gave me a plaque saying β€œDon’t Forget, You’re Here Forever.” But luckily it was motivational since I have my dream job in a bowling alley. He hung it right next to the Shine-o-Ball-o.

A pervy former game show host and his morning news Sec of Defense launch an illegal war so they can look tough, and this member of the so-called opposition party’s big demand is a classified briefing.

Fucking called it. @norcross.house.gov’s statement leads with the framing of Iran as a threat, makes no mention of the illegality of the strikes, and his big demand of a senile president launching a war on a whim is to receive β€œa classified briefing.” What a fucking joke.

I grew up in the Philly suburbs and play country/Americana music (as a hobby, not for money) and believe the genre is for everyone. It’s totally cool to fully embrace the music, but that doesn’t make you actually country. She sounds like a fool.

I mean, do you know how much work went in to manufacturing consent for the second gulf war? Who has the time, right?

Saw one last week in PA and it did not care at all that I was just a few feet away gawking at it while it went to town picking bugs out of a dead maple.

So a bunch of retired dentists are hitting up the breakfast buffet in the same building that the President and Sec of Defense are directing an illegal war?

My dad also loves liver (and onions, of course) and cream chipped beef (though he calls it S.O.S.). He would regularly order those dishes in diners when I was a kid (haven’t seen them on a menu in forever).

As someone who writes and also reviews urban forestry plans, I can confirm this is true.

It’s a good reminder that the gov’t used to build shit that made people’s lives better rather than create tax incentives that will hopefully induce the private sector to maybe create something desirable.

If we attack Iran this weekend, I guarantee that my Dem House Rep puts out a statement that leads with Iran being a terrible regime and accepting the Admin framing of the conflict but then getting huffy that Congress wasn’t briefed with no concern about the lack of a Constitutional basis for action

For what it’s worth, Quakertown is in Bucks County (either way, outrageous though)

I think it’s very hard for people who have been taught to be in awe of our tech overlords to imagine that the world changing tech is an interchangeable commodity where my understanding is there is pretty much no potential for market consolidation (at this time at least)

β€œIs now a good time for [anyone who’s not a complete piece of shit] to support [a vulnerable population that’s being marginalized for no particular reason other than bigotry]?” Gee, that’s a tough one for only our most strategic political minds.

Just canceled myself, and if there’s a store near you, skip the call and just go there. You’ll probably have to eventually anyway to return your modem. But when I showed up to cancel the person there didn’t give me the runaround or try to extend me. Took two minutes.

No, I choose to believe the league where one of the most prominent and powerful owners can be seen in news photos screaming at the Little Rock Nine has gone woke.

My kids know that all they have to do to make me feel old is to correctly refer to things that happened in my youth as occurring in the β€œlate 1900s.”

Can you imagine them writing β€œit’s unclear whether Biden [understood what the fuck was actually going on]” as some kind of potential exoneration?

Minneapolis is β€œin theater.” Send all of these motherfuckers to jail.
