No need for caskets when you get hungry enough to look for "alternative" meat

The right to steal animals to rescue them… or something like that.
Football fields don’t have surfaces that protesters can glue their hands to, like the NBA does, so this guy had to weak-streak with a gender reveal pyrotechnic to get his point across… to the millions of viewers that didn’t see it, live, because NFL/broadcaster policy of instantly pointing the cameras at anything but an authorized person on the field.

Harder than a FIFA collision, but light for a NFL tackle.

It would be an investment vehicle if I bought it to rent out. I bought it for my wife and me. I kept it for my daughter to live in some day. My tenant, who had shot credit from a divorce and was self-employed needed a place to live. Should he have to go to government housing? Would they have let his rent slide to over $18k behind when Covid hit and he lost his clients and couldn’t pay for months? I carried him and accepted the 20% cut from the eventual reimbursement
But yeah, I’m the bad guy

It was a short-sale hell and the contractor that finished the work could give Satan some tips, but it worked out in the end, and the lower cost to buy means that I can offer lower rent than market

The one-crew, one-engine thing is what made it special.
Consensus at the time was that it was dumb/impossible to cross that distance with a single-engine plane, but Lindbergh pointed out that none of the multi-engine aircraft of the day, with that range, could fly any significant distance without all engines functioning; so multiple engines were just multiple potential points of failure.

Actually, he could see the cinnamon swirls in every bite through the periscope.

He also downed several Japanese fighters as a civilian when he was sent to the Pacific theater to improve the fuel economy of American fighter planes. He was a bit of an expert on that subject, and he drastically improved the performance on the P-38 because the both the AAC and Hughes Aircraft didn’t fully utilize the engine’s and supercharger’s abilities

I bought my first home because of that sort of person.
They bought at the highs of 2007, demo’ed, finished the kitchen but then 2008 happened and they ran out of money and out of marriage and sold it (in an uninhabitable state) to my wife and I. We finished it and lived there for years before buying a bigger home and now rent it out

Since he's a "little Putin" does that mean that dissenters get defenestrated out of 4th-floor windows?
