Without fuzes, which are only screwed in just before firing, modern artillery shells are really difficult to set off.

If you think about it, the act of firing a shell out of a cannon and sending it miles away is pretty violent, but the shells don’t explode in the cannon.

Without the correct fuzes, the shells won’t even explode when they land.

Is “Have you had an abortion?” going to be on Texas college application forms?

If so, will there be room for an accompanying essay?

I don’t get it. Is Pembrose the couch?

The girls are finally (almost) all together for an overnight camp! End of the season, so it’s time to talk about what they’re doing in their second year in school!

Things are slowly happening?

Little saucers getting vaporized, a big saucer crashes, the girls take their university entrance exams, and in the biggest surprise this week we learn they’re 18 years old.

I’m saying for his next disinformation show

TIL Lindsay Lohan not dead from drugs, alcohol.

Could be one of those C-suite power plays:

Texeira is managing their one profitable product profitably and looks destined to be CEO.

The old CEO Baker suddenly resigns, and appoints Chambers as (permanent) successor CEO.

Chambers and/or Baker is in tight with the head of HR Chehak, and gets her to declare that Texeira is physically unfit for his job as Chief Product Officer or any other job at Mozilla.

Chambers and/or Baker get their wish for Chambers to become CEO;

Demonstrably competent exec Texeira is essentially out of a job;

Great success!

Depends on how likely your bank thinks you are to default on your mortgage…

Tell your bank, you’ve lost your job, going to prison, and you’re newly divorced with large alimony payments. /s obviously.

Waitaminit…

If a bank sells a mortgage, there obviously has to be a buyer.

Any buyer who does their due diligence is going to see a mortgage on a commercial office property, and weigh the risks of the borrower defaulting on their mortgage, or the borrower not being able to refinance when the mortgage is due.

So given the current environment for commercial offices, any reasonable buyer is going to offer to buy commercial office mortgages at a discount, maybe even at a significant discount, which likely means a financial loss for the bank anyway.

So what’s the difference if the bank holds on to the mortgage, and if the borrower defaults, then seizing the building, i.e. the real asset, and auctioning it off for whatever it can get?

Wouldn’t the loss on a mortgage default and asset seizure, likely the be about same as the loss as selling to a prospective buyer for the mortgage, a buyer who had properly calculated a discount for the risk into their purchase price?

That is highly likely what Jones will do, unfortunately.

As well as hide his income behind all kinds of shell corporations

Sorry Abe, the modern Republican Party is not in your image…

US courts can still try him in absentia, i.e. if he’s not present in the courtroom.

If he’s in a country with an extradition treaty with the US, e.g. the UK, he can be extradited to the US for the trial or with a conviction.

Maybe they’re orphans or have consenting parents?

Good knowledge, but these guys with skulls displayed on their spears don’t look like shrunken-head type headhunters.

Maybe they keep their shrunken heads in humidity controlled, UV filtering display cabinets off camera like I do.

The laws around age of marriage actually changed recently.

According to this: https://www.moj.go.jp/EN/MINJI/minji07_00218.html

Under a law passed in 2018:

Until April 1st, 2022, people had to be at least 20 years old to marry without parental permission; with parental permission, males could marry from 18, and females could marry as young as 16.

Starting April 1st, 2022, both genders can marry without parental consent at age 18.

So… the answer depends on when the manga was written…

Edit: fixed gender references, grammar and tenses

Perfect screenshot for this episode, thank you!

I guess I worded it poorly.

I meant to cleverly say “Don’t hate your nose” and apparently failed.

My apologies.

Raul Julia’s Bison makes that movie.

The “It was Tuesday” meme in the fighting game community comes from there.

To think he must have been in pain while dying from cancer while he was acting…

My advice on contouring makeup: don’t.

It’s like one of those perspective illusion paintings. It only works when viewed from one direction, and looks somewhat unnatural when viewed from any other.

I prefer just making my skin look less flawed with foundation, then following my natural blush areas, adding a little blush color to make the foundation look less pasty.

p.s. Your nose looks fine! Don’t do a Michael Jackson!
