We should call it Camp DeSantis. I know it's part of a broader federal policy, but I feel local political pressure is the right choice in a republic. The governor is letting this happen. And also because, fuck that guy.

Have you checked your blood pressure lately? Salt intake? Hydrating okay? Hormones? Allergies?

Could be an early warning sign of something more serious.

A little swelling and water retention especially on hot days is normal. But, if your shoes stop fitting due to a little water retention, they probably didn't fit very well to begin with. It's easier than you'd think to get used to shoes that are too small. Your feet adapt, but suffer.

The article makes it clear that this superwood is not meant to compete with wood used it traditional stick built construction. It's meant to compete with structural steel once it has been able to get certified for those uses and building codes are adapted.

Value was making value as you put it, long before rapid trading. Speculation and arbitrage are like the first two things that develop in any economy. Any entrepreneurial grade school child trading candy, baseball cards, pogs, hotwheels, or whatever the hot new thing is has probably seen both first hand.

Legitimate reason? Really?

That was the one thing that removed my ability to even try to suspend any disbelief in the fantasy. Like I couldn't even think of him as more than a one-dimensional caricature, let alone empathize with him. I was okay with Thanos just being some powerful guy seeking powerful objects to become more powerful. I might even sympathize, not empathize, with that. It was evil to be sure, but understandable. But, as soon as they revealed what he actually wanted to do with that power the whole thing just fell apart completely and became a total farce.

It was just bad logic that doesn't hold up to any scrutiny. Like why didn't he just double the resources? Why did he think the universe wouldn't just eventually return to pre-snap populations, because it's not like he also slowed population growth?

I don't know much about either the Order of Canada or Georges St-Pierre. So I looked it up before crafting a pithy response or downvoting and moving on without comment. The wikipedia page for the order states that criteria are basically "Canadians who make a major difference to Canada through lifelong contributions in every field of endeavour" and those that exemplify the motto "they desire a better country". Nowhere do I see any mentions of excluding someone because their career path wasn't serious or valid enough. He's obviously made more of an impact on Canada than most. You can call the whole award a popularity contest and you'd probably be right, but shitting on someone's accomplishments just because you don't think their career is valid enough just feels gross.

Tell us you don't have a clue how the electoral college works without telling us.

Oh no, I don't doubt it. Just thought it was an ironic coincidence.

"The ticks are turning people vegan" does sound remarkably similar to "the frogs are turning people gay".
