Don't worry, when this new company eventually merges with Toyota, who already own parts of Subaru and Mazda, it will be perfectly positioned for acquisition by Stellantis.

I get what you are saying, and it seems reasonable if dark energy turns out to be something. If, however, dark energy turns out to be a placeholder for simply our misinterpretation of what is happening, it's a little harder to say that dark energy exists.

I've never heard that the Ainu were associated with red hair or pink complexion in any way. My guess would be that the woman and the boat went adrift off the cliffs of Moher and unusually strong currents just took them to Japan.

I think this is just a flex on Trump

Well then you didn't have any pre-existing conditions.

I don't know why you would assume that, or why you would imagine that I was unaware of this change.

That was huge for me and millions of other people. A game-changer.

Of course this was huge for people, but it wasn't a huge reform for the health insurance agency. It didn't change the for-profit nature of health insurance; it just put a guardrail on it. It softened one of the hardest edges of private health insurance, which made it palatable enough to escape real reform.

I agree that we got change under Obama, but I wouldn't call it any more than that. Softening the edges of the existing system just enough to gut any real push toward ~~change isn't reform; it's entrenchment~~ fundamentally different systems like universal healthcare wasn't reform; it was entrenchment.

On the other hand, a colorful sorting would only negatively affect you when you are actively looking for a book.

No, unfortunately, it would remind me every time that I looked at it that I had somehow married someone who thought this was acceptable.

So, don't make empty threats?

Given the country's current mood, is it really wise for the oligarchs to threaten the livelihoods of the very group that gave us the expression going postal?

Pretty thorough in its search, but hardly complete. As a test case, I searched a sample sequence and looked for an expected match.

Of 9218 results for the sequence "7, 8, 9", I was unable to find any output matching "why was 6 so nervous?"

The ACA is not medicare for all. It isn't close to medicare for all. It was never more than a shitty stand in for universal healthcare.

I was there when it was written. Don't try to feed me this bullshit
