Sounds plausible to my econ undergrad.

As far as goods, essentially nothing is produced without some overseas resources or labor. Even for food we're still exposed to real price movement due to import/export pressure. How that shakes out numerically, I don't think anyone knows. A weaker dollar means we're objectively poorer as...

That word is doing a lot of work to describe a mission that involves launching a rocket to orbit on a planet with zero humans or infrastructure on it.

For whatever it's worth, my brother-in-law was working the sample return mission at JPL and he thought they were already on a tight budget given the demands.

I taught kids martial arts classes for a number of years. The best setup we ever had was where the parents were in a sound-isolated lounge behind a one-way mirror where they kids couldn't see or hear them. Parents who don't train/play are the fucking worst. My wife and I are both experienced...

Not that I'm a kpop fan, but I was impressed by the way they blended the animation, choreography, music, and storytelling. A really cohesive artistic vision. Now I just have to get my daughter to stop playing the soundtrack.

I've trained myself for almost 25 years. If I see anything happen in my presence I'm tying the guy in a knot with his head up his ass and sitting on him until police arrive. This girl is one of my daughter's friends and a real sweetheart. Makes me angrier the more I think about it.

My daughter (10) practices jiu jitsu. A friend that she was training with told my daughter that her dad hits and kicks her at home when she doesn't execute the techniques properly in sparring, and will also withhold food. "But only when Mom isn't around." I've seen this girl crying during class...

Thanks! I'll be sure to spread the word.

I'd be more than happy to never see either guy again. It's clear through their respective bullshittery that they've forgotten you need to be a successful active athlete at the core before you can fuck around as a personality performance artist.

This looks like an amputation machine. Unrelated:

Insane is what it is. Two changes is more money than I've cumulatively spent for oil on my 2001 Camry.
