"They had an almost billion-dollar cost over on the magnetic elevators. Think of it, magnets," he told the crowd for some unknown reason. "Now, all I know about magnets is this. Give me a glass of water. Let me drop it on the magnets. That's the end of the magnets."

"Why didn't they use John Deere?" he asked. "Why didn't they bring in the John Deere people? Do you like John Deere? I like John Deere."

(He has no clue what a catapult on an aircraft carrier is, nor why it might be a a good idea to use something that only requires electricity over something that uses steam. You know, like those trains he's never been on.)

Banished Words 2024

Will you stop using these banished words?

I’m a 24 year old guy who’s looking for a serious relationship. I’m looking for someone with the possibility of marrying. I’m mainly looking for a girlfriend or a guy that looks feminine enough to pass as a female. Also I wouldn’t mind getting to know someone from another country. I guess I’m desperately looking for a relationship. From your experience which app am I most likely to find someone in either of these categories? Thank you!

I’m sure this has happens to you: You rave about something–a restaurant, movie, book, game, etc–and highly recommend it to a friend. But when they try it, they didn’t enjoy it. What do you say? How do you feel?

I work a full time job and i can barely afford rent and food. in fact some days i go eating only once to make it through the month. i can't afford to take my girlfriend out to dates like other men do. i don't want her to put up with my inherited broke-ness and everything that comes with it. if she gets bored of not being taken on dates, i won't be surprised if she dumps me and finds someone, who will. I know she's bored and we're not able to be doing those exciting or romantic things, that have to have a price tag.

What was that? I should simply stop being broke?

I tried. getting a 2nd job is not available where i am. Those employers and contractors don't like to see that. They say they want workers with full commitment. my side hustle is in the works but it's a slow process, that i am committed to. it may take off or it may crash but that's where i invested a good amount of money and time to see if it works. I don't have faith in those crappy regular jobs.

The Other Jan. 6 Tapes: Newly Obtained Videos Show Trauma Of Attack For House Democrats

One House member texted his wife what he feared was a final goodbye. One recalled the look of pure hatred in the attackers’ eyes. Another would never forget the whine of a hundred gas masks, all operating at once.

For some House Democrats who were in the U. S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and experienced the insurrection from a unique vantage point — being the target of the attack — those were the memories that stood out shortly afterward.

Prior to Jan. 6, the U. S. Capitol had not been sacked since the War of 1812. But on that day, a pro-Donald Trump mob, many of whom marched to the Capitol directly from his speech urging them to “fight like hell,” clashed with police, broke into the building, and chased lawmakers and then-Vice President Mike Pence into hiding. The riot lasted for hours, with the mob arriving at the Capitol shortly before 1 p. m. and police clearing the building around 6 p. m. Five people died.

While the attack inspired bipartisan revulsion at the time, that consensus has eroded ahead of its three-year anniversary Saturday. Now, some on the right say too much has been made of the violence, pointing to protesters who walked into the Capitol well after the first groups of attackers.

For example if The Anahiem Ducks get sponscered by Lay's/Walkers and renamed the ArrowHead Pond to Lay's Crisps Pond of Anaheim

After all, I'm sure I've worked about at least 5-10 jobs and I'm not even 30 yet. I like how I've gotten to see and experience what other jobs are like and how that moulds me as a more well rounded person. It's like the opposite of being pigeon-holed, it's about being aware that other jobs are just as hard or harder than easier jobs and the way those interactions educate a person. Like compared to even street smarts versus book smarts, some things you just have to experience to actually later appreciate and carry.

Why do people give figures so much higher than for people that live in Europe? How is US living so expensive?
