He really likes to acquire things and then turn them into (e)Xes.

That's pretty common among cats and dogs. Sometimes the clever ones will hide a bite they decided against at the last second with a yawn, too.

Why was he even allowed access to the 72nd one? Isn't there some point where we decide this isn't going to stop?

I'm impressed they are all willing to share a litter box! Lucky.

Well you'll still be allowed in Australia

Honestly he looks a bit annoyed, impatient. So I'm gonna guess dinner is late.

I rode in a coastal city for over a decade as my primary vehicle. My bike looked weird for starters, so less likely to blend in on marketplaces for resale. Then I bought a weird lock and locked it on poles out front like people do dogs. Make sure the pole is not something you can just lift the bike up and off. My thought process for the weird lock is we were told most bike thieves come prepared to defeat U-locks and chains, but they won't bother with other kinds.

You can also put a tracking device on your frame in an obscure location to give you peace of mind and help getting it back if stolen. And be sure to write your bike's unique id down in case you need it for a police report.

We absolutely need a points system in this country. Dui, lose your license AND your car for a month. Hit a pedestrian, come see us in 5 years.

I know these harsh consequences can be even harder in the US than Europe, but as someone who has never been able to drive I know it's not a life ender to lose the privilege for a short time. It's worth the grief to get people taking it more seriously.

when this happened to me the heat exchanger inside was all iced up, turned out it was a valve in the circulation. Couldn't fix it myself due to compressed coolant.

"We were throttled because we use too much data. They said this happens when people stream videos a lot."

Yeah at least Canadians get a vacation. I pay the same as an international trip but when I finally get to be seen it's a worn out business park in the next town over.

Funny you say you would feel more free. I think if I came from money there would have been many expectations of me going to a fancy school and having a successful career. My marriage options would have been guided and I may even have been expected to take over a family business. Basically my life planned out by family with incredible power.

Since I came from a modest lower middle class family, all anybody expected me to do was pay for myself. I've pretty much been able to do whatever I wanted as long as they didn't have to help me make rent. I've traveled, tried different kinds of jobs, and even started my own little company on the side.

Why have you not learned to draw or play an instrument? Do you suffer from long work hours or inadequate pay? If so, my apologies, this world isn't built fairly.
