The most accurate model for prediction of South Carolina election results: "which of the available options is obviously the worst?"

After a particularly heinous diaper change, the toddler gazes upon what she has wrought: "I didn't chew up all my food."

This is the opposite of my experience. I let Sol to its own and I get 3 extra orchestration layers, everything is SHA hashing everything else, file locking systems to protect against other users (there are no other users), data backup system for power loss that isn't coming... and no actual project

I had the same problem like a month(?) ago? Then after a day or two it came back. My cancelled anthropic subscription ends tonight.

I suppose the most accessible solution would be "investors realize the B class shares are for suckers and refuse to buy them" But well, line goes up all the same so who am I to resist

Also, don't you have any fallen empires???? Homelands + Fallen Empires event would really drive the point that you don't like these people and want to hurt them.

Draft; that presents the most cards to each player and it'll really drive home the point that there is _nothing_ worth having in the entire block.

They're right though. How could anyone resist modelling the crossover right before south hills junction? Come out of the tunnel and there's 9 diamonds in a 10 meter radius! It's still burned in my memory as the best part of the trip and I haven't been back since I was a kid.

Would mandatory 5 point belts *also* reduce driving by the same logic? Would that be double awesome?

I had also tried those terro liquid ant bait things; the only outcome we got from those was the syrup leaks out and some dead ants stuck in it while the trail routes around

Plagued by ants in the bay area for years. All the home remedies are trash? Borax syrup? Trash. Get some OptigardAnt. Order it online; you get a syringe of gel. A little dab of the stuff at the place they're getting in, and they're all gone by the next morning.

The legacy slag car that decorated the approach may have outlived the entire lifetime of the mall
century iii built on a slag dump; rail cars took molten steel waste and just left it in a big pile. This is a picture of the slag rail car they left behind as a nod to the history of the place
