This douche bag was selling secrets while at the same time fleecing his followers for more than a quarter billion dollars because that was not enough.

Warm up the crisper.

He's a Salt Lake Councilman, was a dentist for 16 years.

He explains:

The baby is not part of the body of a woman. The umbilical chord and placenta do not directly connect to the woman. The baby floats inside the woman. It is not about the woman

Mike Rounds declares himself and his estimation of the electorate of South Dakota as RINO curious at least.

Family Research Council is being investigated for being a fraudulent church, like the Scientologists.

What is the over under on Arizona nutbags dropping from the heat as they take their principled stand in broad daylight on concrete in not the most breathable body armor. Will they properly hydrate? Have they figured out a place to piss and whatnot as they conduct their demonstration?

We are used to it.

Serviceable answer in any extreme climate. 

My times in the sunbelt convinced me that the parasol should make a big comeback.  And the deep basement.  The slab foundation should be banned.

Embarrassed - haven't followed this, and he's my senator.   Will look now.

On behalf of the entire city of Phoenix: What is this "basement" of which you speak?

[Holly Martins]

Haha.  Phoenix doesn't dig basements, I gather.  No shovel is hard enough to penetrate the hardpan or suchlike.  Or maybe developers just don't know their ass from a....

Wow!

That's a big deal. I don't know that it will be enough, but it's a start.

This is just like the hours on Jan 6, 2021 when Trump did nothing.

He and his allies have hyped this and promoted the anger with bullshit like, "If they can do this to me, you may be next" and that this way leads to tyranny.

The violence is theirs to stop and if they don't, then they need to lose their stage.

That's fortunate for UK.  My time there convinced me they are absolute sugar fiends.

Fully avoiding fossil-fuel investments is impractical, many investors say, because oil, gas and coal still account for about 80% of world energy. Energy and food shortages driven by the war in Ukraine have hammered home that reality while highlighting the risks of haphazard shifts away from fossil fuels in some European countries.

The bill passed Friday by the House of Representatives appears to take a similar tack. Principal backer Sen. Joe Manchin (D., W.Va.) and others have dubbed it an all-in energy policy.

The answer is not either or, It is all of the above.

Also the absence of a frost line (so the footing only has to be eighteen inches below grade).   So not just caliche.   Trying to imagine a Midwest life sans basements.  Failing.

Would seem to impose a severe burden on garages.
