I automatically filled in that blank. Because, of course the cops managed to fuck up a sitiation. Not surprised.

Their money makes money. If you have enough of a surplus in your income to save money or invest then you are accumulating money faster than the rest of us, and we will likely never catch up.

Don't know how it is in the comedy category and not drama.

I know it was discussed last year, but classifying The Bear as a comedy is a bit unfair. While the show certainly has its comedic moments, that shit is a stressful drama 90% of the time. I accept that awards are always bonkers, and comparing art and performances is not ever "fair." It just seems insincere to put yourself in the same category as a show like What we do in the Shadows or Abbott Elementary when it seems to clearly belong in competition with shows like Shogun or Mr and Mrs Smith.

I don't think you can compare the acting of Jeremy Allen White in a serious show about the life of a chef to that of Matt Berry who is pretending to be a horny vampire and occasional girls volleyball sponsor/humble neighborhood bartender from Tucson Arizonia. Jackie Daytona was robbed, and I will die on this hill.

How is Fallout a drama and not a comedy? How is this classification decided?

I'm confused. I did not think cars could reach Mount Everest. Thought you had to trek in and out through lots of foothills.

Oh I still have fun playing it when I can! But it's more of a desperate attempt at survival and less a strategic hunt for the bounty and skilled firefight with enemies. I wish this existed back when I was in college and had more free time to play and friends available to co-op with. I'm so anxious about letting down teammates I'm matched with online.

I just watched the first 2 episodes after you mentioned it. I have no idea why I haven't seen any advertising for it, but this show is awesome. Thanks!

I haven't watched that in years! I'd almost forgotten how much young me liked it and now older me sees more wisdom in it.

I see you are well versed in bird law.

In many states, there are simply too many bridges that are coming due at the same time. When you take into account budgeting, state and local policies on detours (for safety reasons ie emergency services being able to get across town in 5 minutes max), and record flooding taking out entire bridges you start to see the issue.

We recently had a situation where one major thoroughfare was closed for planned reconstruction, and 2 other bridges were closed after a hurrican came through and caused irreperal damage to them. This brought traffic and commuting to grid lock in the area, but the replacement bridges could not be engineered fast enough and the other bridge was literally demolished down to its foundations.

Not every bridge has to be substantial either. In a lot of states in the North East there are thousands of tiny bridges over creeks. And many of them are well over 100 years old but just so inconvenient to replace.

To be fair, they filled underneath that bridge in and paved over it in 12 days. I95 was the major priority and they could ignore the off ramp for the time being. Building the bridge took much longer even with great deal of manpower and equipment dedicated to it.

Never heard that name for it. But that's perfect!
