Ok, so I just googled it. Turns out the 100 year mortgage in Japan had its heyday 30-40 years ago when there was a real estate bubble and homes were not affordable for most folks under more conventional loan durations.
But I guess they are now pretty rare there.

Aren’t the lowest mortgage rates currently associated with the shortest loan terms?

I think they actually have those in Japan, where it’s more common to have multiple generations of a family sharing a home and the next generation remains in the home and takes on the debt when the prior genera passes away.

I can’t tell if he’s saying:
A) there is good insurance widely available that costs less than ACA plans
Or
B) medical expenses at “self-pay without insurance” prices costs no more than the amount of money that he’s suggesting get sent directly to people.
Either way, dead wrong.

Didn’t Alito express big mad a few months ago on a case about deportation flights, when lawyers filed an emergency petition to block the imminent deportations before a lower court had responded?
I’m guessing Alito decides to just not notice that the administration has committed the same “sin“

I hate that this is where we are now, but my recommendation is that kid3 make sure that her appearance telegraphs affluence and privilege.
It seems like ICE’s profiling concentrates on the most vulnerable; those they can bully and deport with minimal repercussions.

I don’t know what “vibe working” is, and I feel like I will end up sadder if I go search out what the definition is.

I think he’s trying to encapsulate “the House isn’t in session this week to help negotiate & pass a resolution to end shutdown, bc Mike Johnson would rather have shutdown than swear in a new D this week bc her signature on the Epstein petition would give them enough to be able to force a vote on it”

Kudos to you! I tried non-mirrored double knitting one time and gave up after a day or two because my brain just could not cope with…I would constantly realize that where my brain thought I was on the chart was not actually corresponding to my actual progress on the row.

I think anytime anything in their environment changes, it makes them extremely uncomfortable, and they don’t have the skills in their toolboxes to recognize this and cope with it. Instead, they just lash out in a confused rage.

It is literally just the name “Cracker Barrel” on a yellow background.
Best I can figure is that they’ve gone full on mental, and any kind of change whatsoever is now “woke”

Huge swaths of voters are mostly uninformed, and make their decisions at the ballot box based on sound bites and vibes.
In addition to being either completely disconnected from or skeptical of news coverage, they also believe any entertainment media (movies, TV) to be revealing gospel truths.

Hmm…for something more flat, maybe a checkerboard pattern of stockinette and seed stitch? Seed stitch 3 sts, stockinette 3 sts, alternate to end of row. After 3 rows, swap the order? Depending on how thick your yarn is, it might look better at 4x4 or 5x5 instead of 3x3.

A true man of the people only wants ketchup and mayo.
You start putting Dijon mustard on food, that’s a gateway to wanting things other than what the MAGA brain thinks can exist in the Andy Griffith Show universe.
Today you ask for Dijon, tomorrow equality for women. Where does the madness end?

If you look at this photo, you may spot that there is a horizontal strip between the blue arrows that just looks a bit different from the rest of the garment, especially visible at the base of the diamonds.
That’s color dominance. I unintentionally swapped my hold on the 2 colors for a few rows.
