I heard about this because Macroblank did the soundtrack and put it on his YouTube. The developer was streaming on the game's page, looks like a cute town builder but not really any essential goal or struggle like a lot of builders have. Like that art building game.

I've been wearing 990s in a 14 or 15 6E for a while (12 years or so) for work and exercise, but the newer 990v6 just doesn't hold up or fit quite the same. I'm still wearing a (tightly laced) 15 in them, but I've had trouble finding alternatives, and I definitely feel like I need more of a 14/14.5 with more width (which doesn't exist).

Given how expensive NB has gotten, I'm eyeing whatever other options turn up and wondering if I'll have to go custom. I'll give xelero a look over, though, thank you for sharing this. :)

For boots I just wear thick socks in my red wings, but that's not too often.

Yeah, I saw this getting spread around and facepalmed, I'm a carrier and it's basically not a change -- just logistics changes that can have an impact +/- a day. When first class mail went off the next day standard a few years ago is when this really changed, and it was about business efficiency and prioritizing packages. I also facepalm when I see ballots in outgoing the day before an election, but we run those separate to the county seat or a closer hub office to get them delivered on time.

A year ago. It took about 9 months to find something which was a good value proposition beyond just being a home to live in, and my wife wasn't ready to move before that.

Just as a real example, 70-80k/year is very feasible in the Philadelphia area. I saved up around 90k across a decade (with a worse income...) and bought a place for slightly over 350k. The thing is you NEED that initial down payment amount to make those numbers work, PMI with less than a conventionally mortgage down payment is a debt trap. Most people aren't financially literate, and people with large amounts of capital take advantage of that in the lending and real estate industries.

If you can settle or pool resources this all gets easier, and if you have disabilities or make poor financial decisions it becomes impossible and you rent trap yourself. Renting still makes more sense for people with jobs that move around, though.

The problem is that he did, in that moment, and then media and people walked it back and minimized it for 3.5 years until by the time everyone voted again, well, he didn't go to prison so maybe they made it up or it wasn't so bad? See also: his felonies were "political".

Truth is that most Americans are so busy living or surviving that they don't go learn or seek out different views to become more well-rounded. Propaganda works.

People try to avoid known risk factors when pregnant, some stuff really is bad to roll the dice on. A lot of newly pregnant people also go overboard avoiding stuff that's classified as dangerous. It's not an unusual thing to say.

The story specifically includes documents (not the note, the PDF) with an (alleged) conversation between the suspect and his roommate on discord. Could be fake, but given anything you write on there is police accessible and he confessed, twice, at some point you have to admit it's a stretch not to believe it.

Insulting me doesn't change the facts.
