I don’t see a clear association in saying a baby is worth $5,000 when existing tax law says a baby is worth $2,000 off your taxes. It’s an incentive, not a bill of sale.

And famously Trump didn’t actually write any of it.

It’s a fantastic format from a docuseries on David Beckham.

From: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/david-beckhams-be-honest-thank-you#origin

On October 4th, the documentary series BECKHAM about the life and career of the British football player David Beckham premiered on Netflix. During an interview with Beckham's wife Victoria, "Posh Spice" of the Spice Girls band, Victoria tells the interviewer that both she and her husband came from working-class families, with David interrupting and telling her to be honest, with Victoria reluctantly admitting that her father had a Rolls-Royce:

- [Victoria] We both come from families that worked really hard. Both of our parents work really hard. We're very working, working class.
- [David] Be honest.
- [V] I am being honest!
- [D] Be honest.
- [V] I am being honest!
- [D] What car did your dad drive you to school in?
- [V] So, my dad did-
- [D] No. One answer. What car was it?
- [V] It's not a simple answer because-
- [D] What car did your dad drive you to school in?
- [V] It depends…
- [D] No, no, no, no, no.
- [V] Okay, In the 80s, my dad had a Rolls-Royce.
- [D] Thank you.

You seem to be missing the point, the Nintendo Switch is handily the most popular game console in US gaming history. It has officially sold more units than the PS2.

I’m sorry that you don’t appreciate the switch, it’s an amazing general purpose gaming console.

They will almost certainly change the rules once the injunction finalizes. Call your representative and tell them what’s going on.

Christ with a bejeweled handbag, does somebody have a link to the juicy transcript?

You seem like the kind of person I would avoid at a barbecue.

You think being sold to private equity is going to make them remove the shelf locks?

Well, it took private equity over a decade to eventually kill Toys ”R” Us. Two years would be speed running their demise.

And what does this say about the newly confirmed Secretary of Education? The whole point of having such a position at the Cabinet level is to give Congress some control over executive departments.

I was speaking anecdotally, but it’s good to back that up with some data.

https://egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/2023/egusphere-2023-176/egusphere-2023-176.pdf

Page 15, Table 1 shows a clean table, with Denmark in the bottom 10 for large hail size in European countries; relative to places like Germany, large hail (the kinds you’d really want to avoid while on a bike) in Denmark is considerably more rare. That study only has two citations, though, so not the greatest source.

This survey is much better cited and comments on hail throughout Europe and in Denmark, but I can’t access the PDF at the moment: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0169809516300291

I never said they don’t get hail, I said they don’t get regular hail. In general, hail is uncommon in Denmark, and large hail is even more rare.
