Definitely after. @Hailey Zero Mission is going to need time to buy all the booze with that new paycheque.

Logically speaking: if everyone comes for the figgy pudding, and they won't leave until they get some, but you never stocked any figgy pudding--the party never ends! 
When do we have to come if we want a pleasant, laid-back party?

I think this was exhibited on Phineas and Ferb, and that oddly makes the hobo's reply less random than usual.Logically speaking: if everyone comes for the figgy pudding, and they won't leave until they get some, but you never stocked any figgy pudding--the party never ends!
It's a Christmas miracle!
If someone broke into my car, they would find a lot of shameful fast food drink cups lol.

about the fact you still have a mouse with an actual wheel, or about the hair.

Uh... most mice still have wheels. In fact, some have really fancy wheels.I'm not sure whether I'm more
Perhaps you are maybe confusing it with a mouse with a ball.
Well, yes, yes I was. No mouse I've had has lived long enough to need cleaning of the wheel on top.

I've never had one that cleaning would have benefitted the wheel, but I have had a couple where use and humidity made the wheel SWELL UP to the point it would not turn any more.
There's like, this one elderly drug dealer on South Street in Philly, I don't wanna say he's aggressive but he's at the least VERY persistent in trying to get you to get his "free" products. I've met him twice, and each time it was weird, the second time he offered me shrooms and I'm NINETY NINE percent sure said shrooms were Baby Bellas mushrooms from the supermarket.
Granted, it's been a few years since I lived there, but my only question is: there's just one?
On South Street yes, he just makes occasional walks around past 5th and South Street giving people "free drugs".
There's only one way to find out. Report back to us afterwards.
Oy.
So the other producer reached out to me saying they really would like the story and are there any edits I'd be willing to make, that they could be less extensive than suggested.
The polite thing to do would be to repeat that I'm withdrawing. I decided to tell them to do it the way I want or not at all. Which is really new and weird and hard for me, but my new therapist and I are working on my social anxiety and putting my foot down, so this seemed a good practice case.

Cat hair. Lots of cat hair. Which had wound its way around the center of the wheel by catching in the spring. I suppose I could take it apart and show you pictures, but I don't care that much and I'm lazy.I'm not sure whether I'm more

I was skimming a NYT article about the manufacture of glitter. Most of it I was vaguely aware of, but then I found this section I found vaguely disturbing:
Like, is this just the secret that a lot of the "metal" in tech products is just a coat of paint? I imagine there's glitter in that, but I also don't think that's much of a secret. Or is this something I'd rather not know is full of glitter, like some loophole that allows it to be an unlisted ingredient used to make food look better?
What the fuck are they putting glitter in that they don't want people to know has glitter in it?

There's a huge Reddit thread discussing it. I think the most reasonable suggestion is that it's used in security ink for currency, passports, event tickets, identification, etc. (And, now that I think about it, possibly the ink for all sorts of products, with counterfeit goods becoming more common.)
Although people seem pretty hung-up on speculating about military uses, like the chaff used in weapon countermeasures.

I don't understand why IRA contribution limits apply to Roth IRAs. I mean, I know why TRADITIONAL IRAs have contribution limits - the money you put into a Traditional IRA is before-taxes, so the government has an interest in limiting how much money you can shelter from taxation. But Roth IRA contributions are AFTER taxes... so why bother with limiting contributions?

These days it'd probably provide a better ROI, TBH.
Because they want a limit on the amount you can take out without paying capital gains tax?
