Ron Paul must be crushed. How will his campaign recover from this devastating blow?

What I would not like is for a parent to pay for the upgraded seat next to me and then I get bumped to accommodate their child.

Since I’m considered less invested in the community if I don’t have children, I shouldn’t have to pay property taxes, since that money is used to fund public schools. And whatever federal portion of the budget that goes toward public education should be given back to me as well.

Also, does a parent’s extra vote go away when the children reach voting age?

Edit: The more I think about this, the more I like it. I think you’re on the right track, but we need to take this further. You have a greater stake, therefore you should have a larger tax burden as well. You and your family will use more resources than a single person. Roads wear out faster from more driving and increased weight of vehicle. Larger families require larger police and fire departments. Etc., etc. Good idea.

We’ll have to see how comprehensive Apple’s trail maps are. AllTrails has maps for many state and local parks. Gaia has extensive trail information for international hiking trails.

This was a promotion with Sapporo when Microsoft launched Windows 95.

No. It’s not possible to find light reading about lead.

Doubt any heads will roll. I bet this feature was approved by the C-suite and board of directors. Look, we can create two revenue streams with one simple offer—get car buyers to subscribe to On Star so we can collect data, and then sell the data. All legal because nobody reads the fine print in the contract.

It was just my crass humor. I used the noun version of the word “use” because you said you couldn’t figure out how to use it.

What’s the use of giving you the answer when you can look it up on the internet?

For the money. From 1986 to 2003, there were 9 stock splits and MS handed out stock options to almost all employees. Many employees who started there in the early 90s are now multimillionaires.

Yes. The conjugates for “to be” are: I am, You are, He/she is, etc.

Looks nice, but I agree with others about installing cabinets along the wall in the breakfast nook.

Is there a sink in the butler’s pantry? The blueprint doesn’t show it, but the photo shows something in the middle of that counter space. If so, you might want to add some counter space as well for a toaster oven and coffee maker.

I have a similar setup for the cooktop and range hood layout. After living with it for 20 years, I’d say I’m not a fan of that design. The cabinets are too close to the cooktop and will get greasy. Fumes will also rise up and around the range hood and get on the cabinets above hood. Lastly, if you ever have to replace your range hood years down the road, it’s very likely the cabinet surface being covered by the hood will be a different color than the exposed surface.

I would make the cabinets on both sides smaller, at least 6” away from cooktop and not have any cabinetry above hood.

I had a brain MRI a couple of years ago and got the same. My brain and your breasts are unremarkable.

I was a CS major in late 70s and used punch cards for Fortran programs. I’m guessing “by hand” meant writing the code with pencil/pen on paper and then typing up the punch cards for each line of code.
