  1. "Someone once reportedly took a grand piano from a Sheraton lobby." How did guests steal a grand piano from the lobby without anyone noticing?
  2. Build-A-Bear stock leaves Bitcoin, Big Tech in the dust FINANCE.YAHOO.COM There are very few stocks that have outperformed Bitcoin in the past year.
  3. 1. Avoid ego lifting, which a home gym is good for since there's no one else around to impress. Increase the number of repetitions with good form before increasing weight. It's also easier on the joints (if you have joint issues, select exercises that are easier on the joints such as dumbbell presses or certain machines rather than barbell presses). 2. Hitting muscle groups more frequently produces better results, especially among older men. It doesn't necessarily require more sets, just hitting each muscle group more than once per week (e.g., 5 sets twice per week is better than 10 sets once a week).
  4. Purplekow doesn't like pigs, but does he like bulls?
  5. Paris 16th District Apartment in Photos ROBBREPORT.COM A luxurious apartment with a library lists for $11.6 million in a 20th-century building near Paris's Place des États-Unis.
  6. I don't find male gingers appealing at all, nor do I find Harry's personality attractive either (much less Harry's wife who seems a lot like Fergie). I agree that William is much better suited for the role.
  7. Taking photos/videos in the locker room violates most gym rules and is illegal, so it should not be tolerated. Flexing in front of the mirror while people are trying to get ready is rude. They can flex on the gym floor or at home.
  8. New tax law gives $25K deduction for tips (Treasury Tipped Occupation Code 602 for massage therapists), so you can adjust withholding accordingly.
  9. Whatever weak stigma against single parenthood remains is not a main driver of the negative effects, so normalizing it even more won't help in that regard. And reducing the remaining stigma will make it more common and thus exacerbate its negative effects. Focusing on it is a just cheap distraction.
  10. The statistics reveal biological and social reality (e.g., The Two Parent Privilege). Normalizing single parenthood (overwhelmingly female) will not magically eliminate its large negative effects on children, particularly those who are least advantaged, because those negative effects are not caused by being stigmatized.
  11. Incorrect. In California, specific intent is not required to prove battery (only general intent is required), so intoxication is not a defense. Do the crime, do the time. California Code, Penal Code - PEN § 29.4 (a) No act committed by a person while in a state of voluntary intoxication is less criminal by reason of his or her having been in that condition. Evidence of voluntary intoxication shall not be admitted to negate the capacity to form any mental states for the crimes charged, including, but not limited to, purpose, intent, knowledge, premeditation, deliberation, or malice aforethought, with which the accused committed the act. (b) Evidence of voluntary intoxication is admissible solely on the issue of whether or not the defendant actually formed a required specific intent, or, when charged with murder, whether the defendant premeditated, deliberated, or harbored express malice aforethought.
  12. It would be better if the protesters focused their efforts on creating a lasting memorial for the victims rather than engaging in street theater by repeatedly chalking the crosswalk, which is soon washed away by rain or gets painted over by the transportation department.
  13. It would have been better to make this guy the new "Uncle Herschel" on the logo.
