If you own libs, then you must:
-feed the libs
-house the libs
-bathe the libs
-groom the libs' hair
-clothe the libs (esp if fem)
-have the libs use your bandwidth
-let them out in their cars/buses/trains/etc
-let them use all the toilets
That's why owning libs is a major commitment, as are pets.

Just imagine the list of side effects once you account for allergies.....

I think they *know* that Elsa will be maximally displeased if / when this inevitably results in Elsagate II: I Fucking Wish I Were Nixon
Disney not-so-secretly hates Kingdom Hearts and wishes they never gave SE perpetual license to make those games using those Disney characters so there is a non-zero chance they did this just to push “Disney Sora” search results to be about this instead of Metal Pipe Boy.
Seeing "Disney" and "Sora" in the same headline and it isn't about...

I received a "Critical Account Security Alert" from "Apple."
It purports that someone tried to charge $143.95 to my account and wants me to log-in with my password.
A quick Google search revealed that "$143.95" has been charged to THOUSANDS of Apple accounts.
I hate being scammed by the lazy.

And while some of the potholes are down to shrinking councils budgets, they’re also down to increased wear and tear on the roads because cars are heavier.
#Carspreading / #Mobesity:
“the average width of cars on European markets grew by nearly 10cm between 2001 and 2020. Length increased by more than 19cm.”
Prices for parking and tax don’t recognise this - let alone the emissions or safety effect of larger vehicles.

there are a few things that cause me immense joy in this image:
Bedroom 4 and full bath 4... or 3? are in the same room.
there is a Great Room™
Guest Suit has no walls
Bedroom 2 only has cabinets, no bed

It's inevitable as we approach the limits of what we can do with chip technology - each new device provides fewer improvements over the last gen, so few people buy upgrades unless it's impossible to run any of their software on it.
But that can't be more demanding because the chips aren't better...

If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

Why not go for full secession and end this failed Union??
Soft secession
Legislation creates a Federal Tax Escrow Account in the state treasury. Instead of employers forwarding collected federal taxes to Washington, they send them to the state. The state holds the money in escrow. A legislative panel reviews federal spending for constitutional compliance.
