Not only did team USA lose to Italy but now we have to do math, which is even worse.

police (and maybe riders generally, I’m not 100% sure) can override the systems and drive the cars manually in limited situations. as an example, a Waymo blocked an ambulance from getting to a mass shooting last week in Austin and police were able to override + move it out of the way

6 is considered the limit for personal use and more than that means that you must β€œintend to promote” them LMAO

I read 1.5 sentences of the article out loud to Kel and she said β€œoh just go to Mass and leave us alone.”

As they said, they know ball.

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

The thing that makes dirty chais take a second is not the milk you put in it; it’s that the tea has to steep. Which it would also have to do if you were making any other kind of tea. Also you don’t just sit there watching the teabag the whole time, you can in fact multitask lol

I know this article has been beaten into the ground already but what makes me laugh is that like. There *are* coffee drinks that take significantly longer to make than others but the drinks he named are not those. Cold brew in particular is β€œpour out of jug, add syrups and cream/milk.”

The same photo as OP but with the text surrounding it:

Trump has also reportedly begun to guess people’s shoe sizes to their faces. If this goes wrong, it could potentially be dangerous, menswear writer Derek Guy told the Journal.

β€œIf you have a suit that doesn’t fit well, you’ll just look bad. But if you have a shoe that doesn’t fit well, you can develop physical issues,” he said.
