Oh, and in case you're in selection for a big case, start paying attention to all of the news. They will be looking for people who don't know anything about the case already.

Well, I've been summoned for jury duty. Someone tell me how do I get out of it.
Could be different where you live, but around here they have you call in or check a website the morning of, and odds are they'll tell you then that they don't need you.
Police are either beyond reproach or chronic liars--either position will get someone to want you off the jury. Otherwise, remember that you hate everyone, but be subtle enough about it that they don't think you're trying to get out of jury duty.

Asking the government to fix the government at this point is like asking cancer to fix cancer.
This mostly applies to a particular political party whose rhetoric is largely about the government being unable to fix anything and their steadfast devotion to preventing anything from getting fixed.

My wife and I are looking for a new family hauler. Kiddo is outgrowing the small Hyundai sedan we have and we're looking at three-row SUVs. Right now we kinda have it narrowed down to the Jeep Grand Cherokee L, the new Nissan Pathfinder, and the Toyota Highlander.
I'm partial to the Cherokee, but that's because I'm a Jeep guy. But all three of those models have V6. I did notice that there are some other brands like Mazda that have the turbo 4 in their three-row SUVs (I think it's the CX-9 for Mazda), but I'm just not sure what the advantages are of either the 4 or 6 in that type of vehicle.
The numbers are actually a lot closer than I thought they would be.
So I'm not too sure about this, but I think you'll tend to have a bit better fuel economy with the smaller turbo engine and a little higher torque & horsepower with the larger naturally-aspirated engine. (The hybrid Toyota has markedly better fuel economy, though that's getting a little afield.)
Some people are wary of the added complexity of a turbo and that it could be an expensive repair if it breaks, but my feeling is that if it's stock and you leave it stock it should be reliable.

What's better, a turbo straight 4 or a V6?
I'd say turbo 4, just don't try to go all tuner on it and risk some maintenance problem.

Reportedly, the project is well into preproduction ahead of its June start date, with shooting to take place in Prague and Munich.
Not to be superstitious, but for this movie maybe they should say "filming" instead of "shooting."

Zelezney heads a government that was installed by the US after we overthrew their previous more pro-Russia government in 2014.
This is not at all what happened.

Also when you leave for another company, write a letter to the people above that person explaining why you left.
No good reason to do something out of spite. You want to escalate issues while you're still working there? Sure. But by the time you're leaving you should have already said anything you want to say.

There are people who are so rich they literally have no idea what money is worth, especially when they grow up that way. And Wharton is the kind of place those kids go to school.

One thing I had to learn the hard way is not to let women waste your time. I think every guy needs to listen to Patrice in their teen years to be warned about the kind of bullshit women are going to try and put them through.
Hell if I can find the actual meme, but best way I saw it put was "Dating in your 30s: Is this happening or not because I've got shit to do."

They are not. The boosters do not contain any virus, it is literally impossible to get Covid from them.
