WSJ: Here’s What It’s Like to Retire to Portugal
Four years ago, with my adult daughters gone from the nest, it was time for me to fly, too. And even though I had never set foot in Portugal, I decided to retire to Lisbon.
It has paid off spectacularly.
Doubt it.
This lady will change her mind and move back to the US within the next four years. A person who moves to a foreign country that she’s never visited, is not a deep thinker.
Japan suffered deadliest month of bear attacks in history, with 7 deaths and 88 maulings in October
Alaska averages about one death by bear attack per year.
Because it’s Japan, there has to be some odd cultural practice they aren’t telling us. Like for Halloween, everybody dresses like bears to parade through the woods, or honey-scented backpacks are popular.
Time: Court Filings Allege Meta Downplayed Risks to Children and Misled the Public
“Meta has designed social media products and platforms that it is aware are addictive to kids, and they’re aware that those addictions lead to a whole host of serious mental health issues,” says Previn Warren, the co-lead attorney for the plaintiffs in the case.
That’s really bad, but everybody knew this. It’s not like anyone cares about kids.
Everything to know about ‘Stargate’ from Amazon MGM Studios
The Stargate franchise never had the high profile of Star Trek or Star Wars, and there hasn’t been a new TV show or movie in 15 years, but it was inevitable that a studio would pick up this IP.
You’d have to be pretty dumb to get excited about any new adaptation until more is known, but I am cautiously optimistic.
Several Democratic senators and congressman are one word away from sedition.
Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.
Their statement is true, and every member of the military knows it. This message to the military is very dangerous and will do harm.
SPACE: Will Europe’s flagship space science missions survive NASA’s budget cuts?
Flagship European space science missions conducted in collaboration with NASA face a possible combined funding shortfall of nearly $2 billion due to budget cuts put forward by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump. The European Space Agency hopes its member states will come to the rescue.
Europe’s flagship space science missions may be worthwhile, but they aren’t ours, so why are we funding them? It’s only about twenty bucks per American taxpayer, but do that for 10,000 other foreign agencies and projects, and it starts to add up.
“I’m alarmed enough when I see a woman with her dangling boobies.
“This is nothing against trans anybody. What it’s saying is if I turn around and I see a pee pee — a penis — in front of me inside of the room, I would probably go to management and say, ‘Wait a minute. Why is there somebody a naked man in this room?’ Because… just from a safety standpoint and just from a, you know, from a privacy standpoint, I would so I can see why she would have gone and reported to management.
When the Embridge guy came by to sign off on the gas line installation, Sparky was very interested in the natural gas leak detector. He wanted to know if his breath really smells like farts.
My natural gas is going to be turned off most of the day as a new gas line is bored from the other side of the road, under my lawn, and to the side of my house. My gas meter will be moved from the basement to outside.
The worst part for me is waking up early to let them in.
