Bob's Red Mill Extra Thick Rolled Oats with a couple of over easy eggs on top is my jam.


This is mainly because Congress will not increase the size of the House of Representatives. If we were to give Wyoming a single representative and used that as the bar for how many citizens a representative should actually represent then California would have 82 members in the House instead of 53. California would be worth 84 points in the Electoral College while Wyoming would still only be worth 3.


Honestly this is a neat idea.


Home of the Reds. Been listening to it my whole life.


The last couple seasons were difficult for me to listen to Marty calling games because I thought he came across as very negative and embittered, but then his final season (this last season) was so much fun as he seemed to be enjoying it again even though it wasn't a good season for the team. I listened to games a lot more throughout the last season and then listened to parts or all of his last 20 or so games and it was so much fun. Really glad we still have the Cowboy. Baseball is such a great sport for the radio if you have good announcers.


Older people may watch a ridiculous amount of television but I've only seen young people staring down at their phones while using the urinal.


Honest question: what's wrong with using a phone while you use a urinal?


This really annoys me when I see it. Partially due to privacy concerns. Just casually say, "You're not recording me, right?" and watch them get very defensive


I don't understand why people are so addicted to their phones they literally can't even take 15 seconds to concentrate on pissing anymore.

In addition to that you're at a row of urinals with a camera out. It's just straight up weird to me.


I don't have to concentrate to pee, so I don't see an issue with looking at my phone while I'm standing there


Specially since phones are waterproof nowadays.


When the jackpot reached a certain amount, say 500 million, they could switch from a winner takes all to essentially a raffle with 500 winners. I think it would greatly increase the number of tickets purchased when the threshold was met.


Isn't that kinda what the Windfall game did more or less?


This is what the windfall game in the article did. They were smart enough to buy as many tickets as possible during this raffle.


No. If you live in a democracy then the tax money is yours. You are the government. You have every right to complain about what they are doing with your money.


I don't think anyone is arguing you don't have the right to complain about where tax dollars go. They're arguing against the idea that taxation is theft, and the government doesn't have the right to collect it.


Isn't 'they' 'you' then?


And this complaint is called an "election". Seems to me like getting super possessive about what the elected people do without a proposed solution (elect somebody else, run for office, etc.) is nonproductive and fails to grasp some essential point about the whole thing.


Seems to me like complaining about some types of spending would be a good way to garner support and win an election, if enough people agree with you. But maybe that's just me.


The buds that are flourishing now in Japan won’t open again in the spring, but fortunately, the proportion of blossoms that have opened in recent days is relatively small. So, Wada tells NHK, the unseasonal bloom is not likely to affect the splendor of the cherry blossoms next spring.


You already have to have an ID to get a job. Who can't do this once in their life?


and what happens when the id expires or you change your address or you change your name or the id gets lost or destroyed?


Where is it not cheap and easy to get an ID card?


It's harder than you think, and easy to find out how/why:
