This looks interesting: https://limitedrungames.com/products/himes-quest-gbc It has the absolute worst trailer I have ever seen though:

i don't know what this Safeway is going to do - they don't seem to have ordered new carts (which would likely vanish also)- unless those are now hard to get (I have heard scattered reports that this is a problem in lots of places) or they are trying to figure out a way to protect them. But they are going to lose customers since there are quite a few grocery stores in the immediate area.

I just paid mine and the house insurance at the same time. Pretty steep increases - I suspect it was a combination of inflation and the after effects of Ian. Plus Colorado has had the highest rate of auto thefts (per capita) nationwide for the last couple of years. I think we are a contender for catalytic converter thefts too.

This is pretty scary. The last few times I went to the Safeway near me I noticed there were very few shopping buggies. Today I went to breakfast and stopped there afterwards - there were none in the store and none in the parking lot - either loose or in the bays. I finally followed someone who was leaving and grabbed that one. When checking out I asked the clerk what happened to them all and she said they had all been stolen.

Some people just like to haggle....

Any one of the Kardashians. Just give it that semblence of reality.......

Well at the very least it will weed out the amateurs. I think that would be great for the next Saw movie.

Unfortunately democracies (whether parlimentary or not) generally reach a clossed static two party system with a closely divided electorate. Israel is really messed up in that manner. The Roman Republic originally had 4 chariot clubs (designated by the colors green, white, red and blues. Over the centuries two of the groups survived - green and blue. They expanded into basically political/religious parties and would have pitched battles all over the shrinking Roman Empire. GD Romans were just weird...... https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/blue-versus-green-rocking-the-byzantine-empire-113325928/

Can we get a decoder ring and a secret handshake too? Just saying.....

Works for me:

Particularly unhelpful - let's see one article has 20 Americans leaving (that is impressive), another article that states why some are leaving with with no concrete numbers (again impressive) and one that simply says record numbers - with no actual number cited that I saw. So one year 100 people leave and the next 102 - that is a new record! Lets look at it in this light - however many people are leaving - what is the percentage compared to the numbers coming in? And how many of those pesky celebs (and why does the public give a rat's ass about mostly goofy celebs anyway) actually graced Canada with their illustrious presence?

All's well that ends well..... https://news.yahoo.com/suspected-texas-home-invader-impersonating-143906793.html

Or maybe it is simply that our society/system of governance has outperformed pretty much any other country economically (and in so many other ways) in the world as of this time - and has from not long after the Civil War. It is not all about money - there is also a much greater degree of freedom here than in the countries that people are trying to escape from. And the people coming in want to profit from their labors - which they seem to - where the heck do you think the money for the large amount of remittances comes from? While there a lot of overly wealthy people in this country there is a lot of wealth held by the rest of the populace - people come here because they get a larger slice of pie because that pie is so large that even if others have much larger slices they still get bigger ones (actual size wise) than the much more miniscule ones they were or were not getting from their homelands. I also don't see the people complaining about whatever leaving for the glorious utopias they think exist elsewhere. A lot of celebs vowed to move to Canada if you know who became president - oops they almost all apparently didn't have the moral integrity to follow through on their "convictions".

I would much rather have neither - an even cursory look at history shows there are no (and never have been) societies that live up to all of whatever ideals they espouse (or maybe should espouse). And riddle me this Batman - why do so many people want to come to this country (either legally or not) if it is so racist, homophobic, transphobic, whatever ic or ist you want to conjure up on top of the wealth being so unevenly distributed? There is something going on here that people want to voluntarily participate in - unless they are just all deluded.

There is not much in the way of examples of communism that have done well (in terms of their treatment of their own populations (let alone other populations once they get their hands on them) - maybe TIto (in that he kept the various groups who by and large hated each other from killing each other) but that went to hell after his death and in any event he was able to thrive only by playing in the cracks in the wainscoating between the East and the West in the cold war. And far far more people (historically) have died under the excesses of communist governments (either Russia or China alone demonstrate this) then the relatvely few fascistic governments. IMHO most people make the mistake of viewing both forms of rule (it is a misnomer (again IMHO) to really call them governments in the sense that the western democracies understand/practice them) as a linear continuum - they really are on a circular construct where difference in the exesses effectively meet at the backand become rather moot.

What else could they do wrong? This isn't rocket (or bike) science. https://news.yahoo.com/bike-thieves-burlington-vermont-153718678.html

Since I now know the true provenance they will be placed in a place of honor - which translates to somewhere safe from cat depridations (who has already showed an unhealthy interest in them).
