An unusually endearing farside

A little context for the younguns. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nipper

if the offices are empty, why not use that money for a government program to guarantee down payments of first time home buyers?

The Biden administration is doing that also, it just doesn’t make as good a headline.

If utilized as it should be, this Is a really good idea. It creates desperately needed housing, indirectly supports work from home, rescues downtowns struggling from customer loss, helps prevent default on tons of property loans (and preventing something akin to the 2008 crash).

For my partner and I, I’m gonna make black and green spaghetti (low carb noodles made of black beans and edamami) with pasta sauce, and meatballs that look kinda like eyeballs (meatballs coated with melted mozzarella, then topped with a sliced green olive olive and pimento middle). I’m hoping shredded parm will add a slightly maggoty touch. I might also throw some candy at kids from my third floor window… haven’t decided yet.

Despite Black families experiencing the largest growth in median net wealth — a 60% bump from 2019 — their 2022 levels remained the lowest among all other racial or ethnic groups, and they also saw incomes falter.

The 37% rise in net worth, which was more than double the next-largest upswing on record, was largely fueled by asset growth — specifically home values and stock market gains that far exceeded consumer price inflation, Fed researchers said.

Figured_ I would add a bit more context to your argument. You can’t gain in net wealth if you have nothing to gain with. Emphasis in above quote is mine.

Yrs ago this would have (foolishly) increased my trust in the companies, but I’ve long since learned that companies building a “coalition” doesn’t mean squat unless it’s actually utilized to create positive change.

The cat was a perfect touch

It’s kinda looking that way, but I’m not counting the chickens before they hatch. https://www.newsweek.com/rfk-jr-lesson-maga-world-careful-what-you-wish-opinion-1833086

Because Windows 11’s primary new feature is SOC level DRM.

Can you please what this means in idiot proof terms?

I will always be thankful for Dialectical Behavior Therapy by Marsha Linehan. I have never been diagnosed as borderline, but the lack of basic coping and interpersonal skills was obvious. It wasn’t a cure, but it has given me a foundation on which I was able to move forward with deeper, therapeutic processes. Frankly, I think everyone should go thru all the modules at least once.

I HATE koroks. I love the game, but the clunky menu and koroks were a big disappointment.

And God forbid you move too fast for the machine to keep up! Fucking “modern” technology.

Off the top of my head, the cdc does track flu. How they track and calculate is beyond me. It confuses me as to why stuff like this is tracked, and yet the government is so determined to leave people in the dark.

I wonder if this would be such an emergency if it wasn’t for the world cup and the Olympics.

Don’t get me wrong, bed bugs suck (I’ve dealt with them myself), but closing schools? Maybe it’s just because I’m American and I know our country wouldn’t do shit like that for us.

any federal laws are being broken legislatively by Congress as a result of baby hands in 2019, not the Biden administration.

How can congress legally break federal laws? I understand that the money is allocated, but how can the money have even been allocated toward something that was breaking laws in the first place?

How is a novice to tell?

To your cheese sausage I would reply “And for you, I have tuna patte.”

You think being stuck on a deserted island might be one of Larson’s fears?
