Why do all the economists keep talking about the price of Brazilian butt lifts?

you never hear "build more grid". why is that?

lmao she was a pro se candidate

This is not the best part of the firing, but it’s in the Top 10.

the simulations are clear in their findings: bunny hopping should be incorporated into the core PT regimen.

military needs to learn from the speed-running community and split their war games into "glitched" and "glitchless" categories

Always strange to see people you thought were normal go completely off the rails

Trump: "Who'd you be able to get through?"

Thune's eyes light up as he suddenly realizes this is a chance to pay back Trump for all the shit he's had to eat, while ridding himself of the Gentleman from Oklahoma who might otherwise hold that seat until natural causes or drunk driving took him.

Metacritic gives the nod to the sequel in all those pairs, though usually it's only by a few points, so one can argue if it's the true decider of CW

Metacritic tells me that Rush Hour 2 fits the criteria.

"i'm just a widdle defensive department. i was just defending. and it's my birthday"

not only is bongdude correct, but we could even run the math to figure out how fast.

it's mostly the same math you use for actual rockets.

A brilliant Canadian astrophysicist, a hotshot Russian pilot. Cooped up together on the ISS. But with barely any privacy and mission controllers monitoring their every minute.

Until scheduling snafus require just the two of them to return in a single Soyuz.

This summer on HBO: Heated Re-entry

People laugh, but the Name's are a powerful family up in that part of the country.

One of the instances in which it is actually emphatically true that by stifling left-liberal criticism of Israel on a liberal basis you just leave open room for nutjobs to do it and fill the space instead

Oh, he talks a good game? Ever seen his old forum posts? Those are his words, and presumably reflective of him too.

And yes, I think the state that keeps falling for Susan Collins' crocodile concerns might have some voters who should spend more time weighing actions.

Today I Will Look The Burrito Man In The Eye and other stories of manifesting success

If there's a silver lining. Assuming we somehow eventually crawl out the other side of this, we'll probably have a chance to finally flush that all out. Everyone left over from Trump will be radioactive, and we'll do a teardown/rebuild of everything that wasn't already DOGE'd to death first.

the thing about foreign policy is that the vast majority of normies don't give a shit, but when you break things, they break hard. and these are the fucking people who were in charge of making it under Bush/Trump/Obama/Biden

Gen. David Petraeus and Brett McGurk break down the situation in Iran

i am going to have a stroke

We don't have to do a whole big ground invasion. We can do something small. Just send in some military advisors for those Kurds who totally exist.

Oh so *now* it's the Defense Department

Don't forgot "learning one random Pittsburgh fact an episode"

actually, kind of notable that for a doctor show, the only workplace relationship we're aware of is an ex one.

I do wish they could figure out how to be a little less wooden when they switch to PSA mode, though I'm starting to suspect the change in affect is intentional.

I was thinking exactly that comparison. I wouldn't quite call the dialogue Sorkinian, but there's a very similar amount of constant patter and jokes between smart professionals.

not exactly stopping the current one either.

it's a strategy to drive the already high cost up, but sometimes the price is still market clearing.

though russia is the only state willing to pay for an actual ground war right now.

They'll degrade without their sponsor, and they might become a little more diplomatically pliable once they're left to their independent interests (Houthis feel like they're already drifting that way).

But, also, they might swell briefly in the aftermath as personnel and materiel flee to them.
