Poor Nick Mason. Only member to always be in the band and zero mention of him.

The grandkids can buy the house at that bank auction. (Although they could be outbid, naturally.)

The estate would still owe the difference, and may be insolvent due to that, but the grandkids would not owe that difference / have to assume the mortgage.

Assuming the estate is in debt and loses money on the house, the bank may be more involved in other aspects of the estate. For example they may want items of value (eg: jewelery) to also be sold at auction rather than gifted to heirs.

Just saying that you may wish to pick your battles.

Keep in mind that Judicial Review (deciding if laws are constitutional or not) isn't even a constitutional power. It's one the court gave itself in Marbury v. Madison.

A standard would reduce the barrier to entry, which would increase competition. Can't have that.

Guess I didn't realize it's hitting humans on Long Island pretty well.

"... is now recovering at home ... is expected to make a full recovery ..."

To save you a click. (There's not much more in the article.)

Unfortunately, the article doesn't mention where he got it. Was he visiting some lab or did he get bit someplace some locals should be taking precautions?

(He's retired, but I don't know if he still has a presence in the industry or not, giving talks and doing visits.)

There are people in temporate states like CA that just put water in. That's why I explicitly mentioned it.

+1 to making sure your washer fluid can handle the cold and to making sure your tires handle snow/ice well. (There are definitely all-seasons that'll do well or better than some winter tires. Unless you know that where you're moving doesn't plow down to pavement, I'd avoid studded tires.). Tirerack.com used to have a ton of data about tire performance on ice & snow, so you might look there, but they've been reducing the range of tires they carry and rate in the last few years so they may not have your tires.

Find a snow brush for your car that will let you reach & clear the snow off your car. I'll also say I often am most disappointed by the ice scraper on a brush -- meaning that's the part that makes me regret the purchase of an individual brush.

"Fox" could be confused with "box", so it goes with "Foxtrot".

Also, keep in mind that everything is a product of its time.

This Experian FAQ article indicates "thin file" is about number of credit accounts, not amount of interest.

My thought on that is that they needed a new location so their image didn't just look like a modified version of another of the victim's public images, so NK searched for a stock photo for a professional looking location. Ars has just located the stock image they started from.
