A quick search suggests that the average American uses about 1.3 pounds of honey per year. If I'm 40 years old, and guess that I might live to be 80, that's only 52 pounds of honey, which I could easily buy in bulk. Honey doesn't expire, and even assuming the price doesn't skyrocket from bee die-offs, inflation alone will make the price go up over time.

Does it make sense to buy all the rest of the honey I'll ever need for the rest of my life, right now?

I definitely assume that Palmetto Cheese is just ground-up palmetto bugs.

"I declare myself President for life!"

"So you're saying there's exactly one very particular way for us to make you not be President anymore...?"

"Uh..."

So much delicious potential...

It's almost as if he's a crazy person who is responding to childhood trauma in an arrested development kind of way, punching the bad guys who hurt him as a child, forever, rather than dealing with his trauma in a healthy coherent way, almost as if that's a core aspect of the character without which he wouldn't even be the character he is anymore.

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

Don't get me started on Horizon: Forbidden West. It was a beautiful game. It also had every gameplay problem the first one did, and added several more to boot. The last half of the game was fucking tedious, and I basically finished it out of spite.

You know how people remember how the fecklessness of the Weimar Republic is what allowed Nazism to take over? They'll be remembered like that. And by "they," I kind of collectively mean nearly all of us.

I got a pay wall on that story. Is there another source?

the proportions are just weird.

I agree with you, but that's also an accurate description of Elon Musk.

Picked one of these up on sale after Christmas. First impressions are VERY good!

 

Mine installed a pegboard in the pantry. It's incredibly useful for hanging up pots and pans.

Why would such a group of people volunteer to rewrite the budget without any oversight or accountability? There's no possible benefit to themselves! They must be such giving, selfless souls!
