For me, it’s losing weight. Several times, I’ve burned 40-50 pounds, and can move much better, sweat less, sleep better, etc. Then I regain it, and have to climb the mountain again.

Dick with wine? Sounds like Friday night, amirite? Err… For straight women, obviously. And gay guys. And handsome prime numbers that… Nevermind.

My dad likes crunchy peanut butter, and my mom likes smooth. I grew up in a two peanut butter jar household. Despite decades of that, they are still married today.

Is 6 going to regret this at the 13th, 29th, 39th, 47th, 56th, 66th, 96th, 99th, … digit after the decimal?

I beg to differ. Everyone knows there’s a 9 next.

This is only enough fish fingers for like… 0 children.

Being clear about your desire also means that rejection is clear, and that hurts.

If it was easy to buy, I would pay $5 for this thing, so I could tell the three people in my life that would be amused by my owning it. That’s the floor on the market, for this particular one - so it still has a long way to fall.

I think it’s easy to misunderstand the difference between appropriated money (money someone is allowed to spend) and spent money (money that’s used, adds to the debt, etc). If you do something like allow a large portion of unspent allocation to roll over to future years (like… 95%) then some departments/agencies/etc will save up huge stockpiles of allocation - like places that will need to replace a satellite or renovate a large office building, or buy a new piece of land, or… Etc. This doesn’t add anything to the national debt, but makes for a scary headline - which is practically the worst thing for Congress.

The likely outcome would be lower spending, but there’s the faintest possibility that every civil servant in the whole government simultaneously decides that this is the year to renovate their office building, buy new computers, upgrade the coffee machine, and stock up on printer ink… And that would be very expensive, that year.
