Not Pixel 6?

Why not say “every month they match the annual output of the rest of Europe”.

No.

I lived like this the first year of my postdoc and couldn’t have been happier. I had 4 place settings but only used one and washed it after every meal. Desk, computer, one camp chair, and an inflatable mattress. Stayed that way until my wife joined me my second year and made me get a real apartment.

I read all of that and none of it made sense except the child soldiers part. And even then I’m not certain that you aren’t being funny.

I didn’t forget. I have no idea who this person is. Wikipedia lists some music and other business ventures but no controversies or social activism. A soldier for money?

Another short-term decision by America could lead to more long-term loss of wealth and influence.

It’s for F, M, and J visas, not tourists. F visas are for academic students, M is for vocational/non-academic study, and J is for work/study programs. None of them are for immigration.

As was Last Vegas.

The creek is 3 feet wide in places and can dry up during dry seasons. The “lake” is 3 feet deep. The city was founded there because the governor owned land on the bald prairie, not the river valley where the fort and city already existed. Water is piped in from a lake several miles away.

Let me introduce you to Regina.

Fish lips.

It’s very short and perpendicular to the skin. It feels like velvet.

Can confirm.

Alcohol availability and a series of fun activities that would accommodate chilling with friends or opportunities to meet and mingle.

Better than almost every other option.

I thought Pushing Tin was the aircraft controllers movie.

It’s heavy innuendo but yeah, they did the deed. Ilsa asks Rick to choose for her because she loves them both. He sets it up like he is running away with her but then does the ol’switcheroo and sends her and Laszlo off while he holds the Nazis at gunpoint. He ends up shooting Nazis and Capt. Renault covers for him.

Great romance requires a choice. It’s difficult to find a choice that matters, ideally it is something they already have, but are giving up. That’s why all the hallmark movies work because a big city girl is giving up her career to grow cucumbers or something. Making a choice to take a job somewhere else doesn’t work because it’s a future thing - giving up an opportunity is not the same as giving up a realized life situation. Infidelity really works because it’s a former dream, and it means giving up stability, status, comfort for the unknown.
