More debt, probably.

Every article like this makes me want to hug my 13-year-old Costco Sharp (is that brand still a thing?) TV that barely has apps and doesn't get butthurt when I don't do anything with them

That's the Senate. OP is about people in the House, which is every 2 years for everyone.

Kinda sorta. Cousins mean you share grandparents. Second cousins share great-grandparents. Third cousins share great-great-grandparents.

The the "removed" refers to generations. My first cousin's kid is my first cousin, once removed. His kid (my cousin's grandparent) will be my first cousin, twice removed. So 16x removed would be 14x great-grandparent/child.

In other words, Benedict Cumberbatch's 14x great-grandparent shared a great-great-grandparent with... Was it a king we were talking about? I already forgot OP.

Also, we're talking about the House where everyone is up for reelection every 2 years.

It means that when there's a claim for malicious prosecution being done by this administration, there's another piece of evidence to put into the record. Probably nothing that would make or break anything, but still something to help.

Yeah, at this point I don't expect him to last to 2029 (ugh, that number is too damn big) but also I'm not hitting F5 to see if he's out yet. He'll go when the shit stops missing the fan.

You take that back!

And if it is done right it can add a dimension of flavor. Carrot and onion develop a bit of sweetness when cooked a while. Nothing inherently wrong with that, but it's not exactly what you're looking for in a bowl of chicken noodle. Celery, being disgusting when raw, doesn't do that and helps break that pattern up.

Do you mean the leaves, AKA cilantro? Do you have that gene?

 
 

As a parent of a toddler in this program (one who is getting 4 provider visits per week, was going to be cut to 4 per month) I'm glad to have gotten an email late Friday saying that there will be no changes to services at this time. Still, this week has been a clusterfuck for us and especially our providers!
