DOW II is perfect for co-op with a friend. You have much less to keep track of, and it's a good time playing through it!

But also phrased in such a way that anti-vaxxers can't hide behind some flimsy excuse and endanger us all

There's a not-insignificant chance it was the only non-painted exhibit in the entire museum. Everything else I saw was a painting...

On a side note, highly recommend the National Portrait Gallery if you're ever in DC.

Last time I went to the National Portrait Gallery in DC, the Hall of Presidents directly abutted the Civil Rights area.

Trumps presidential portrait (a photo, not a painting, as distinguished by the medium being listed as "inkjet printer" on the plaque) was on one side of a freestanding wall on the center of the room, and maybe 30ft away was a very large portrait of John Lewis.

The impression given was that Trump was losing a staring contest with John Lewis, which felt very apt.

So it's not actually to the Norwegian government. The trust account for the Palestinian Authority is just located in Norway. That makes a lot more sense.

Depends on the roadkill, honestly. Deer as roadkill, especially if you're the one who hit it (or saw it hit) isn't too bad, because it's already an animal normally eaten, and is reasonably fresh.

Now a raccoon that's been on the side of the road for god knows how long...that's a different story.

Sounds 100% on Bell then. Because I guarantee the procurement contract was written to specify exactly what mil standards the material used is required to meet, and that the prime is responsible for verifying compliance

All Ukraine has to do is nothing. The Kuznetsov has about a 75% chance of sinking every time it puts to sea

DoD work (both civilian and active duty) tends to bind people together a lot more than other industries, in no small part due to the factors you mentioned, but also because a) the additional barriers of national security/clearance work make it only really possible to vent about work to coworkers/friends from work, b) the work can often be unique enough that only coworkers have shared experiences to bond over and empathize with, and c) the civilian side of the DoD tends to attract career folks a lot more than it does transitory people. I think a disproportionate amount (when compared to private industry) of civilians who hire into the DoD stay in federal service for their whole careers. And people sticking around their whole careers tend to invest more in personal and professional relationships in the workplace, because networking is how you get opportunities, and you never know who you might owe a favor some day (or who might owe you one).

On August 26, 1935, the United Auto Workers established an elite union for all auto mechanics. Its purpose was to teach the lost art of collective bargaining and to ensure that all the union members were the best compensated mechanics in the world.

They succeeded

Today, the UAW calls it a union. The mechanics call it:

This just feels like a bunch of tech bros found an excuse to vote for the fascist convicted felon/rapist without saying the quiet part too loudly. Like, they have to know the fascists won't allow anything unregulated by them to exist if they take power, right?

I would love to swap that license plate for an identical one, except with the QR code leading to a Rick roll

 

There are so many gems in this one, least of which are the bathrooms.
