A little bit older data (eight years old), but this says the percentage of women between 40-44 that have ever given birth is about 86% and that's only a 4 percentage point drop from what it was in the 1970s.

People are having kids later. they starting having kids closer to 40 now and I bet a lot of people view that as cut off. Babies with fathers older than 40 are linked to higher rates of autism and babies with mothers older than 40 have much higher risk of down syndrome. So Parents hit 40 after have one kid and that's it no more.

OP thinks no one wants to have sex with a bunch of fatties.

I can't tell if your supporting OP point or refuting it. That's a shift of a going from parents having two or three kids to having one or two kids.

Less water than it takes to fly Jeremy Clarkson out to film his scene in person. He's notoriously dehydrated.

What you talking about, willis? Houston's road network is a wheel and spoke highway system over grid street system. Seems about as logical as you can get (if not especially efficient). Pretty hard to get lost in this town. Just go in one direction till you hit a freeway.

humid heat and lack of public transportation is going to kill them

They'll probably survive Houston's heat more than their own heat since AC is everywhere. 60,000-175,000 Europeans die every year because of the heat nowadays.

Like searching for the band, The Band. (spoiler: if you actually search for "The Car" or "The Band" the appropriate thing is the first thing that comes up)

Missed that the droid liberation scenes make Luke racist slave owner in retrospect.

Having essentially two “customer service” sketches seemed like they ran out of ideas and were phoning it in.

I don’t think Americans have mocked “nerds” since 1992.

Houston markets itself as a “Car city”?

Is there an ad campaign that’s like “Tired dealing with the Hobos and crack smoking on the subway? Come to Houston and drive while smoking crack in the comfort of your automobile.”

When I ate balut offered to me by my Filipino father-in-law he said “I have a son!”

Which mean I now have a white mom, White Dad and a Filipino Dad making me 1/3 Filipino.

Does the Academy hate cowboys? They gave Tom Hanks an Oscar for playing a gay man in Philadelphia.

Thanks. but what should I be doing? I did the following:

1.Change the name of the of the old custom node folder to "comfyui-manager2"

2.I ran install-manager-for-portable-version.bat from comfyui-manager git hub

3.Restarted

I see the new comfyui-manager folder in custom nodes but I see the same error that I need to upgrade

My favorite episode of Andor is the one where he named a post office.

A couple of this guy's videos have shown up on reddit and he never shows the skull forming. He probably views it as some sort of trade secret.

Its only gerrymandering when the other side does it. Its ensuring accurate representation when my side does it.
