Now they’re happy to trust the FBI to investigate. How convenient.

I’m in this boat with my in laws always going hard for Christmas. Each year they complain how stressful and expensive it is trying to think of gift ideas for everyone. Since I joined the family, I’ve touted the “one gift per family member” system my family generally followed. They agree but never follow through.
When they ask for a list I’ve usually put a bunch of things on there of varying price so they can choose one. In reality, they just buy everything. So this year I’m hoping to force the issue by keeping my Christmas list short. A jacket, one yard tool, and a toolbox. I should go further and ask for experiences over stuff. I have more than enough stuff.
I bought GME with mine. RIP
My wife and I do things in threes: three taps, three nudges, three blinks, three noises, whatever. It means “I love you”. It’s a nice way to say it when you’re too tired to say it. I think it originated when we’d say it as we were falling asleep.
That must be crushing. My brother is going down this path after moving to the south. I know it weighs heavily on my parents and I can’t imagine it.
I almost went down that path myself with the libertarian party before the tea party came to being. This is the brother I was closest to growing up. I never understood how siblings could drift so apart throughout life. I really hope we don’t have the same fate.
Yes, gravity is a theory. In scientific terms, theories are proven, repeatable, and accepted. It’s the most robust and strongest form of scientific “fact” we have (since new discoveries can change our understanding, we can’t honestly declare it indisputably factual).
When people say “I have a theory…” they usually mean “I have a hypothesis…” which is some idea or problem statement that is unproven, untested, unverified.
OP was playing off the conflation of those two things.
Republicans wanted to build the Walz. Well now’s their chance!
The idea of being a millionaire having “made it” stems from the 50s. Adjusted for inflation, that equates to about $10M today. So that’s probably the level to be truely comfortable with F-U money. Health”care” aside.
