Traffic Jam.

It's got a bunch of different berries and rhubarb sometimes. Slovacacek's on I35 outside Waco makes the best.

I'm moving into a retirement community. Get in there early enough and they have to take care of you until you die. But before that point, retirement communities are like dorms without having to worry about grades or getting pregnant. Lotta syphilis, though, I hear.

Like I said, it's about viewership, and the UK brings very little of that compared to the US, Russia, and China.

If you really cared to see the best, you'd know who Simone Biles is. Everyone tunes in to see their guys win.

The competition between USA, Russia, and China is what gets people to tune in, really. With anyone of those countries not participating, viewership tanks, is my guess.

There's also the whole thing about eschewing politics. Traditionally wars were paused for the Olympics, but I'm pretty sure that's irrelevant today, especially when the US led a boycott of the Moscow Olympics in 1980 and then Russia boycotted the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984. It's really about viewership.

Oh and the IOC is notoriously corrupt. If Russia pays to participate, the IOC will find every which way to let them, no matter how badly they cheat and genocide, same with the US and China.

Donating to just about any charity is a noble cause! I'd also suggest establishing scholarships with educational organizations you like and, depending on the size of your estate, consider endowments that ensure continued support to those organizations.

Yeah, those are all pasta. Spaghetti is all the long noodles.

You can suck your own dick; it's medically possible, and it's not illegal!

There's also an exception if they can't read the delivery address; they have the authority to open the package to try to determine delivery address. So make sure your label can get a little wet and still be readable.

The Renaissance is not "some homogeneous past", it's a pretty specific time period: the 15th and 16th centuries.
