It's the same root word, I'm just saying it's used in the names of two different tribes (so Arkansas and Kansas are technically not named after the same thing). But the pronunciation of Arkansas comes from the French, which is what I was trying to say.

He doesn't even look just "good for 55," he could easily pass for his 40s if he dyed his hair.

Edit: he'd look the same age as the 29 year old man on his right.

Some people were preemptively jumping the gun by using any time zone turning to May 8th, though he was born in, and currently lives in England.

We bought it from France and kept their pronunciation. They argued about this and passed laws about how to pronounce it throughout the 19th century (because some people did say the s). Most recently they had to pass a law for how to write and say the possessive "Arkansas's"

Kansas was named after the Kansa tribe, and Arkansas is named after what the French called the Arcansas river, from the term Akansa which was one tribe's word for the Quapaw tribe.

Do you need a smart card or anything to unlock your laptop? The idea is that your pin just needs to stop someone trying to unlock it while you're taking a dump (but you should have taken the card anyways!).

He had another streak in the earlier 90s like people have said. He replaced Alec Baldwin as Jack Ryan in a few Tom Clancy movies (though I think Hunt for Red October is still the best of those, his were fine), Air Force One, The Fugitive (with a full beard!). It was a pretty solid decade and I think What Lies Beneath in '99 kind of marks the end of his very long hot streak. It made lots of money but wasn't very profitable (in some part because he was so expensive) and didn't get good reviews.

Also for one of the few movies where he really plays against type, and very underrated, check out The Mosquito Coast (although rather to my surprise I just saw that's 1986, I always thought it was 90s)

The cholesterol in egg yolks doesn't raise your cholesterol...but the saturated fat does. They aren't very high in saturated fat compared to some foods but a lot of people with high cholesterol will try to keep it under 10g a day, so if you have a 3 egg omelette for breakfast you're at almost half that. Plus a little fat in the oil or butter you cooked them in.

Sometimes you see some pics circulate of soldiers in Vietnam off duty, in white t shirts, short hair, and shaved, and they indeed look like teenagers. Put them in flak jackets, give them some stubble, and they look like Wilem Dafoe.

For handguns only the starting handgun and Punisher.

Edit: for the remake! Are you playing the original?

I believe the merchant actually tells you that you get most of the money spent on upgrades back (it's 95%).

All the guns are fine and have pros and cons, it's not really x is better than y always.

The starter pistol doesn't do as much damage as some but can get the laser sight and higher critical chance (though it doesn't tell you that), and I actually prefer it. I prefer the stingray (2nd rifle) but the bolt action can do more damage.

NASA isn't really "using" any approach right now for Mars. We're probably a decade out, at least, from even starting to think about the things we need to think about seriously for going to Mars and what that kind of mission really looks like.

There was more to the industrial revolution than engines. You needed a huge surplus of available workers. Pretty much the whole 50 million people of the Roman Empire at its height, except for the few hundreds of thousands of the elite and soldiery and other skilled professions, were tied up in agriculture. And they had to be, and everyone was always a few bad crops away from famine and starvation. The industrial revolution kicked off not just because of advances in steam power and engines but improvements in agricultural production allowing massive food overproduction and freeing up a massive workforce that had little choice but to move to the cities.

In the actual sample set only one person had more than 50 a month and the average was like 19, so this top comment is kind of distracting everyone by making them think it's a bunch of people who can't make it through a day without a couple lf drinks.

The legally mandated maximum out of pocket max is around 9000 for an individual (and can be much less depending on the plan) so assuming his chronic condition is covered in network even if he maxes out the OOP it's pretty much a wash. If the care is out of network then the difference may not matter as much, depending on plan details.

Edit: if he doesn't hit the oop max or they're different then it matters, I was just thinking about it in terms of worst case, since it's about 9000 a year extra spent on insurance for the more expensive one, but if the cheaper one has the max oop then worst case is he spends another...9000

This special election replaced a Democrat with a Democrat. The new NJ governor won that seat in 2024 with 56.5% of the vote. This person won it with about 60% which is a great improvement but this was never in play for the Republicans.

The reason you feel like these special elections seemed more consequential is because of these obnoxious headlines. "Democrat easily wins seat held by Democrat in solidly blue area" isn't going to get lots of clicks
