Well that gives me a thought - could I sell off single square inches of my backyard to people for like fifty cents so they’d be land owners and eligible to vote?

I’d wager that his lease has a mandatory arbitration clause that requires him to pay up front then try to get it back via arbiters chosen by the landlord.

Unemployment on the reservation hovers between 80% and 85%, and 49% of the population live below the federal poverty level. Many of the families have no electricity, telephone, running water, or sewage systems; and many use wood stoves to heat their homes, depleting limited wood resources.

Then again, why don’t they just pull themselves up by the moccasin straps? Look at them. I bet some of them even have refrigerators! /s

And I literally can’t leave the office for ten minutes to go buy lunch downstairs. Gotta bring my lunch and eat it at my desk while fielding internal and external questions.

I think I read not too long ago that there are still bales of cash buried around Colombia that were never accounted for.

They’ll make you listen to Vogon poetry. If your head explodes, you’re not a bot.

Now I wonder about elephants given that they have funerals and mourn their dead.

Biodiesel was gonna be the next big thing before EVs started gaining traction. Arnold drove around a Hummer that was modified to run on vegetable oil while he was governor.

Have any of these guys ever succeeded in anything regarding their woefully misguided notions? I would think loss after loss would eventually discourage this nonsense.

I hope that wasn’t a stupid question. I’ve been out of that game since before most people on the Internet were born, so I didn’t want to make assumptions based on “that’s how we used to do it.”

I’m so old that the last time I wrote a research paper, it was on a word processor with no Internet connection or spell check.

Given such constraints, I can’t fathom the concept of waiting until the end to add all the references. If I didn’t do it as I went, I’d have surely died.

I should add that we always read each other’s papers before submission to get a second set of eyes for errors, misspellings, and grammatical quagmires. It was mutually beneficial as the reviewing made us all better. Is that still a common practice?

My daughter moved from Texas up to the Northeast about five years ago. One of the differences she observed is that she says it’s a lot easier to tell which people are idiots in Texas because they advertise it. The northeasterners keep it closer to the vest.

That’s an interesting idea.

Billionaire preppers are already exploring the question:

“How do I maintain authority over my security force after ‘the event’?” one of the men asked

So they’re losing like, what, five Disney World one-day admissions?

This is the lock picking lawyer and what I have for you today really wipes out the competition.

I didn’t wake up this morning with the knowledge that I’m about to move to Pennsylvania and convert to being Amish.

Did Mexico pay for it?

Weed legalization hasn’t been sudden though. It’s progressed from medical to decriminalized to legal state by excruciating state.

As this graph is national, it makes sense that there wouldn’t be a cliff because there’s no particular date when we could say weed became legal.

Still not legal in any way here in texasss, and I assume we’ll be the very last of the last to do so. But even here, it’s so easily accessible that a good number of younger people I know tell me they prefer weed to alcohol. In legal states, that tendency must be much higher.
