Me: they gonna bothsides serif vs sans serif aren’t they

Them: But of course, monsieur!
Calibri has also featured in a decades-long debate over whether serif typefaces like Times New Roman or sans serif ones like Calibri are better. Research increasingly indicates that sans serif fonts are easier to read, though some researchers argue that the feet on serif typefaces help guide readers and can reduce confusion.

Tim, I regret to inform you that all the waffles get flushed
A photo of a page from the Onion newspaper focused on the bright yellow ad depicting a waffle with a pat of butter on it floating in a toilet with the red Eggo logo emblazoned with the tagline Flushable Waffles. Made for syrup, safe for septic.

They should just chisel their texts into stone tablets. That would be easier.

The policy expects officials to first take screenshots of the text messages on their work phones, send it to their work email, download it on their work computers and then run a program that would recognize the text to store it in searchable formats, according to the department's guidance submitted to the court.

Miller would mass exterminate 2/3rds of the country if he could. 3000 deportations per day is his workaround.
"He has the president's complete trust," said Mr. McCarthy. "Trump's complained about everyone. Never him." Mr. Trump may not complain about Mr. Miller, but he does occasionally poke at his obsession with immigrants — a hostility that goes far beyond Mr. Trump's. In one meeting during the 2024 campaign, Mr. Trump said that if it was up to Mr. Miller there would be only 100 million people in this country, and they would all look like Mr. Miller, according to a person with knowledge of the comment. Karoline Leavitt, Mr. Trump's spokeswoman, denied the account.

But a city run grocery store is totally different and definitely communism, but a federal cash-and-carry marketplace for pharmaceuticals named after dear leader is definitely not communism
TrumpRx would allow people to pay cash for certain drugs directly from a government website, at a discounted price negotiated by the government. It's unclear how many drugs would be offered, or whether the website would be useful for the majority of' Americans who are already covered by private insurance, Medicare or Medicaid.

Please clap
18 minutes ago Shawn McCreesh White House reporter 山 "I've never walked into a room so silent before," President Trump says as he takes the stage to address the military at the Quantico base. "Don't laugh, don't laugh, you're not allowed to do that," he cracks, before telling the members of the military that they are "allowed" to applaud, laugh, or even get up and leave if they don't like what they're hearing. (Though he jokes that then they'd be fired). "You just feel nice and loose," he tells them.
