Why not just borrow less this year and have a lower principal?

The answer is Wallace. Every old dude with a desk near me has been a solid guy who shuts the fuck up and always makes coffee before I get in.

"However, one of the 14 crew members on the Portuguese-flagged Solong cargo ship is missing, the vessel's owner Ernst Russ says."
The Solong.

This is the product of clinics being owned by corporations chasing a specific return, and not being owned by a local group of physicians who actually want to care for people.
Shop local applies.

Panera Bread exempt from following California’s new $20 minimum wage law due to relationship with Gov. Newsom: reports
This is such a weird exemption. It's so narrow that these places will have to raise their wages by default anyway.
Nothing will stop their employees from just leaving to take a job at McDonald's for $20/hr instead of the $15 or whatever panera wants to pay.

I think you are under interpreting. The road is absolutely too small for two cars, and it's showing that bikes have priority on that part of the road. If two cars are in the center car lane, they must wait for the bike lanes to be clear to pass each other, it's not first come, first served as a road with no bike lanes would be.

Yeah it's a shitty parsing of it, because my mind went there too.
But if the restaurant was using 1 entire cow to make 1 single 1/2lb burger, that's on the restaurant to do better.
There's a lot of that happening that corporations need to focus on.

Tell me of a time when you seriously misread social cues and said something stupid/slip of the tongue.
I'll offer a near miss.
Chat amongst colleagues over a coffee, the topic was something very normal and mundane: how lazy are we about cooking.
My colleague Carol said, "sometimes I just throw some chicken nuggets in the toaster because I don't care or have the energy"
My response I intercepted between the brain and mouth: "living the bachelor lifestyle, carol?"
Carol's husband had died quite suddenly 6 months prior. I didn't fuck up, but I almost did and it haunts me still over a decade later.

I was hanging with a girl that was pretty chill. We had hung a few times over the few months we had met, and had a nice platonic thing going.
She came over and we started to watch some documentary, and in it, there was an abusive man of African descent. She straight up said, "I think there's something genetic with them that causes them to have a short temper and behave like that".
Yeah, we never hung out again.

Obviously they get credit for providing her with room and board during that time period, so it's just about net take-home pay.

Joe Biden calls trans people “fabric of our nation” in Trans Day of Visibility proclamation
"part of the fabric" not "the fabric"
I'm an ally, but at the end of the day let's not over conflate statements. It doesn't serve anyone a favor.
Over stating gives poor intentioned people room and also means that supporters relent.
"The fabric" should never apply to any group tbh.

Sunak proposes raising smoking age every year to create 'smoke-free' generation
Reply in thread
I'm generally pro legalization of drugs, but will say this is likely to be much more effective than the war on drugs ever was.
You don't outlaw possession, just the sales age. You'll see significantly fewer new starters as time goes because after 20 years 40 year olds that can buy wont be bothered to support fresh 18 year olds looking to start a new habit or whatever. The ones that really want to start can buy from abroad without any form of punishment.
I think it's different because I don't think anyone turns to their first cigarette looking to try and attain some new feeling. It's usually one of those things like... My friends were so I grabbed one from them and blah blah.
I would say I'm for the progressive increase in age, and I wrestle with my own hypocrisy seeing that I support legalizing other drugs. But maybe that's rooted in the basis that I've never had a pothead or dude on shrooms negatively impact me. Cigarettes however--littered everywhere, get smoke in your face, etc
