I think Harris could have had a more nuanced answer than, "Fracking, fuck yeah!" But it's a damn shame that, to win the electoral college you have to be all drill, baby drill.

Although that's politics... "It's great to be here in Chicken Fark, Arkansas! I know, in the past, I have been accused by my opponent of being opposed to chicken farking. But I'm here today to tell you that, if elected, I promise to fark more chickens than any president in history!"

Still voting for Harris, obviously.

I'm assuming open houses aren't a thing in Belgium? In the US, it's no big deal to walk in to an open house and just tell the agent that you live in the neighborhood, like the house and have always wanted to see the inside. They're usually pretty chill about that.

The market for erotic fiction is huge (think romance novels) and is primarily aimed at and consumed by women. I've always thought (and I think there are some studies to back it up) that women and men process sexual desire differently - visually for men vs cerebrally for women. Although I do think that as pornography has become more socially acceptable those differences may be less pronounced.

Did you pick it up, OP? Is it scaly or slimy? If it's scaly, it may be a Western Threadsnake. If it's slimy it's some variety of earthworm.

In my 60's. According to Internet sources, shorthand was taught in schools until the 1990's. It's likely that shorthand use declined as PCs became common in offices.

I'm old enough to remember when shorthand was a required course for women in secretarial schools. I always though it was black magic and very cool.
