Read the post title and rushed straight to the comments?

And every year states and schools lower the bars for what “x-grade level” is so they can meet minimum performance standards and not lose funding. Which circles back around nicely to the point of the OP.

That’s not a Trump original. I’m sure it’s been said before that, but it’s a line from The West Wing. The president’s chief of staff makes the comment “To sweep all fifty states, the president would only need to do two things: blow the Sultan’s brains out in Times Square, then walk across the street to Nathan’s and buy a hot dog.”

Kevlar won’t stop high velocity rounds. Ceramic or sometimes steel plates are added to critical areas for that purpose.

Or your mother’s.

Basically what’s been said. Lycopene is the pigment that is staining. It’s hydrophobic and is really good at bonding to plastics for reasons outside my understanding. Soap and abrasion will loosen it, but because it’s hydrophobic it has nowhere to go. The absorbent paper towel gives it something else to bond to.

This might change someone’s life: Instead of washing your spaghetti stained plastic container with a sponge or throwing it in the dishwasher, fill the container to maybe 30% full with hot tap water, add a couple pumps of dish soap, chuck in a paper towel, close the top, and shake. It’s honestly astonishing how effective that is.

0.1% of annual spending is minuscule.

Did you mean 46 years earlier instead of 4 to 5 years later?

It’s not a dog whistle when its meaning is plainly and purposefully obvious.

It’s been over a decade but I swear I thought I felt one coming on when I read your comment.

A good point. Though I was surprised to read this particular dissident only got 5 years in prison and exile from Beijing.

Since 2015 when it was first posted.

I doesn’t matter how dumb the Republican is, the art of the grift is instinctual.

Jack Daniels no 7 is crap. Some of their other offerings are fantastic, but they are also more like $70 per bottle.

There is plenty of other whiskey in the same price range as no 7 that isn’t a disgusting mess of sugar and paint thinner. Wild Turkey 101, Buffalo Trace, etc.
