Uncle Joe had the right idea:

Hope Americans are ready to protest their asses off when he pardons Maxwell.

Guillotines remove heads, not asses.

Why do you think Ivanka stepped back this time around? Arabella turned 14 a couple weeks ago.

A lot of young boys 16+ aren’t going to be happy about this

  1. Take away their porn,
  2. Teach them how to build guillotines
  3. ???
  4. Profit

Suppose he willed his car to his living son, his house to his son, and the remainder of his estate to Bob.

He dies. Son is alive. In this case, son gets house and car. Bob gets everything else.

Suppose son dies first. In this case, the house transfers to the son's estate, where it is then transferred to son's heirs. The house was bequeathed to the "son".

But the car does not transfer to the son's estate. The car was bequeathed to the "living son". The car transfers to Bob with the rest of Dad's estate, not to the son's heirs.

"content entrepreneur"?

It's pronounced "twat".

I think you are misunderstanding.

Divided highways in Finland have speed limits of 100-120km/h.

If you build a new road that looks like a divided highway, but you put up 30km/h signage... People are going to drive 120km/h. They aren't going to drive 30km/h just because it is the posted speed limit. They are going to drive the 120km/h that they drive on every other road that looks like this one.

Major roads in urban areas of Finland have speed limits of 50km/h.

If you build a new road that looks like a major road, and you put up 30km/h signs... people are going to drive 50km/h.

Here's the important part that you're not quite following: Residential roads in Finland are 30km/h. If you build a road that looks like a residential road, and you put up 50km/h signs... people are going to drive 30km/h, not 50.

Nobody is saying we should get rid of the speed limits. Yes, we certainly do need them. What we are saying is that people are going to drive at the speeds that the road design supports, regardless of the posted speed limit. If you actually want people to drive 30km/h, your road needs to look and feel like a 30km/h road.

Anecdotal, but I lived in a rather large allotment, established in the 1960s. We had no pavement markings on the blacktop. No edge lines, no center lines. Everyone drove 20-25mph throughout. Then, the city decided to paint solid centerlines and edge lines on the primary access road through the allotment. Now, everyone drives 35-45mph on that part, while they're still at 20-25mph in the rest of the allotment. The pavement markings make the exact same road feel like a primary artery rather than a residential side street.

If you wanted to accomplish the reverse, you could withhold the centerline markings and paint crosswalks instead. Paradoxically, two-way stops or even "yield" signs can (in certain cases) reduce speeds more than 4-way stops.

One of the other victims was the CEO of Blackstone's real estate investment group. The people who brought you the housing crisis.

I do steady, part time work as a blacksmith, because I love it.

I also work for a hot air balloon ride company, again, because I love it. But, the balloon business is seasonal and weather dependent. We fly about 8 months out of the year, and about half our scheduled flights are canceled due to weather.

I'm looking for one more hobby/gig to do in the off-season or when it's just not flyable.

Something more interesting than DoorDash... I really don't want to go back to that.

Z59.71 - "Luigi Deficiency" (www.icd10data.com)

Z59.71 is a medical diagnostic code for "Insufficient health insurance coverage".

It's a diagnosis that should never have existed.

 

The Outrageous: Homeowner Lannie Fentress was beaten and arrested for trying to put out a fire in his own home.

The Interesting: A special grand jury assembled to investigate the charges refused to indict Mr. Fentress.

The Amusing: That same grand jury turned around and indicted Police Sgt. DJ Newton, the arresting officer.

 

Gripe #1: From inbox, replying directly to a comment, I get the error "Could not determine post to comment to". I don't have this problem when I am viewing a comment in a post's, thread, only when viewing it from the inbox.

Gripe #2: Tapping the comment in the inbox takes me to the comment thread for the post, but does not take me to the specific comment within that thread. In a long thread, I can't always find the specific comment I am trying to reply to.

Edit: version 0.2.4

Edit2: Gripe #3: haven't figured out how to edit posts within Thunder; had to switch to Connect to make these edits...

 

I am getting this error pretty regularly. I'll see a message in my inbox, and when I tap through to view it in context, it's missing. Can't find a cause or a workaround.
