It’s problematic. I was on a 5 hour flight this week and I played wheels up to wheels down and legit didn’t realize it until the bump on landing.

I haven’t been sucked into a game like that in decades.

And not go in the summer time.

Basically all sane republicans have been pushed off the national stage in the last 8 years.

They aren’t convinced at all. It’ll give them unwinnable court cases that they can use to rally their base for reelection who will be so mad their witch hunt isn’t successful they won’t notice the GOP fucking them from every which direction.

Yes, which is exactly why Republicans are making those crazy claims.

When the Saudi deals resurface in the public spotlight Republicans will point to those baseless claims and say “How is what the Trump kids doing any worse than this!?!?!?” and their followers will accept it at face value and say “See both sides are doing it, it’s bad but no worse than what the other guy is doing”

Imma need to see a source for that claim.

Sure if she’s doing a team endorsement deal as a part of her contact that goes to the WNBA, but if Vuori or State farm or whoever just sign Caitlin Clark to a deal to appear as Caitlin Clark the WNBA doesn’t just take a cut of that.

It’s probably what it would’ve been, but the marketing guys weren’t able to get ahold of this message before it leaked out.

God I hate In 'N Out’s fries. Just cut up the Styrofoam cup and eat that instead.

What I think they meant to have rollout is to potentially raise their prices across the board and then offer discounts at off-peak times.

Functionally it’s the exact same thing as what leaked but is way easier to sell as value added to potential customers.

Five Guys isn’t in the same category as other fast food chains at all IMHO.

Five Guys provides a different quality of food at a much higher price than McD’s, Burger King, In N Out, etc. If the taste/quality is even close between Five Guys and the others listed, no one should ever consider going to Five Guys it’d be overpriced.

Wendy’s is in the ‘lower cost fast food’ category, not the ‘over the counter burger’ category.

Coming soon a quiet price hike followed by timed “discounts” at every Wendy’s location.

The crazy thing is nothing is preventing the 1/3 of people who think embryos are children from treating their frozen embryos as children.

Yup, that’s what I meant.

They’re a secular institution that was on the leading edge of stem cell research when it was far more controversial than it is now.

I don’t think those are “low-ass” standards.

Calling Duke a ‘religious school’ is disingenuous. They are a secular school that has a divinity program. The university pre-dates the divinity school by almost a century.

They are widely seen as a world class medical, business and law school. Contributions include, the first ultrasound imaging, the first CFD analysis software, and cochlear implant development.

They don’t focus on sports anymore than other peer institutions (think Northwestern, Stanford, Vanderbilt, or Notre Dame) they just caught lightning in a bottle with Coach K, and have been really good at basketball for a while.

I say all of this to highlight, they are a legitimate, well funded active contributor to academia and research.

They aren’t some hack religious institution that’s trying to play being a real school while shoveling indoctrination down your throat like BYU or Liberty.

Duke is a legitimate research university that should be criticized even more harshly for the decision outlined in the article because of their history as a top tier research institution, not because they’re “a religious school that doesn’t care about science.”

What’s even funnier is initially the investigators were only looking to get $250M. During the case after a monitor was appointed, the Trump Org. started shuffling money around and they went after more money due to those actions.

His entire campaign raised ~$330M in 2016 election cycle. At the very least it’s a massive hit to the funds they have to spend.

Selling a large commercial asset is NOT what anyone wants to do right now. He would be selling at a loss and it would be a huge ego hit.

Additionally selling a large real estate property is exceptionally difficult to do in a short amount of time.

In New York State you have to front 110% of the money before you can appeal. So he would have to front $390M just to file the appeal.

His whole 2016 campaign raised $330M for context.

He’s also on record under oath saying he has $400M cash on hand meaning if he doesn’t actually have the cash on hand he perjured himself as well.
