I could have moved the thread to "Other" but it is, after all, a Current Event, and there's little practical difference. But the bunny trail got moved because it is, after all, a bunny trail.

A newer Malibu would be a solid choice as well. That's probably what I'll look at next.

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

This is the result of globalisation, where the company responsible for the shipping (Maersk) then contracts it to a third party ("Synergy Marine Group"), who in turn finds the absolute cheapest (and, we can safely assume, least qualified) labour to actually run the ships. It is unclear if...

That calculation only makes sense if everyone (including children and the residents of Valley View) is working 40 hours per week.

Re: Will the issues you care about be priorities for a Trump-family run RNC?

But I find it interesting that there isn't some level of outrage or concern among you about things like this... So you are outraged that not everyone is outraged? :) It's not a good thing, obviously. But it's what happens in politics. It's barely even surprising, let alone outrageous. It's a great ...

Re: Pennsylvania Leads the Way in Promoting Agriculture.

The median age is 60 and there are 4x more people over 80 than in their 20s. Mennonite farmers buying farms within the boundaries of the census area almost certainly has nothing to do with this census trend. And 80 percent of the population moved in since 2000. 2 square miles? That is far too small...
