While I'm fine with them losing money, couldn't they just return it to wherever they bought it for purchase price? Like if I pre-order a ps5 pro from gamestop and don't open the box, I could just return it? Unless return policies have greatly changed...

That's the return address. They mailed it to someone in Orlando, which is a bluer area of the state.

(Although Tallahassee is actually a more blue area as well.)

Sorry, but the correct thing to say when he pops up in something else is, "Oh dip! Pillboi!"

I hope you rectify your behavior.

I remember liking half of it. Oddly enough, I can't remember whether I liked the first half where he's a drunken bum, or the second half, where he's more together, but I specifically remember thinking half of it was decent at least.

So yeah, I agree that it's not very memorable.

The Boys, Fallout, Invincible, Good Omens. These were all good shows, though the Boys is kinda wearing thin and I'm glad it's ending next season.

Haven't seen em, but Jack Ryan, Reacher, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, The Marvelous Ms. Maisel...all these seem to have done extremely well and been popular.

Sure they have their absolute disasters like the Rings of Power too, but it's not like they're on the same level of quality as like the freevee's and roku original shows.

"Reject censorship!" cried the candidate of the party banning books in school libraries left and right.

Yes, 2 had a lot of re-used locations. Some of them did make sense, as the story was almost entirely set within a single city, so certain locations are bound to pop up multiple times, especially as the game takes place over a decade or so.

But the real reason, 2 was developed and rushed out the door in like a year or something? It was a ridiculously short amount of time to develop a sequel to a game as big as DA:O. Unsurprisingly, this led to a LOT of re used assets and locations.

But though it obviously had failings, I, like some others, would probably put DA2 as the high point for the series telling really character driven stories with the most compelling cast of characters.

Could not agree more, Legion has an absolutely amazing score/soundtrack. The Bolero scene? Legendary.

“1oz .999% silver medallions”

So the coins weigh 1 oz, and are, for all intents and purposes, 1% silver? According to a quick google, silver is worth $31.07 an ounce today. So these coins have 3.1 cents worth of silver in them.
And he's selling them for $100 each.

Or is the decimal used differently here because the Guardian is British and in this context it means 99.9%?
In that case it's $31 worth of silver sold for $100, but that seems a downright generous investment when it comes to Trump merchandise, so I'm still guessing it's 3 cents worth of silver.

Why wouldn't they confirm his appointments? Senate is controlled by dems right now. They can either confirm Biden's appointments, and have a dem judge, or not, which risks Trump making appointments to these same positions.

Only time the judges don't get confirmed at the end of a president's term is when the opposing party controls the senate. See: end of Obama's term and his appointment of Garland to the SC.

I use US bank, and their ATMs do give the option to choose whether you receive 20s or 100s.

edit: apparently headline was misleading and it wasn't a US bank ATM, rather a US based bank's ATM, but still, point remains, some ATMs do let you choose the bill.
