Tranya ferments so well in the crawlspace behind McCoy’s office. Consistent temperature plus patience and it’s happy cake oven time.

You say “Intrepid Decision”, I say “The Coffee Machine Was Broken And It Was Dark And Clown Guy from That Voyager Ep Was Launching An IPO”…

Demanding that the other one drop everything to scratch a shoulder blade in a very specific way. Mawaaige.

Ooh, Cinderella story it is not.

No Soup For You

Well played, Ryan

This. Sympathy pain, but this.

Desitin is a thick diaper cream, 40% zinc oxide, the rest is cod liver oil, lanolin, beeswax, glycerin, vitamin E. It smells awful, but it works. It’s quite safe for sensitive areas, seems to be pH neutral. If it is safe for rashy baby bum, it’s safe enough for anything. Source: Never leave home without it.

Why can’t they stay? Karelia would get awesome again, there would be plenty of jobs.

There’s one of these (without the red eyes) placed very carefully in a yard I have to pass in the evenings occasionally. The shadows of the trees seem to change the outline, theatrically effective at making innocent motorists shit a brick. Thanks, I hate it.

It makes so happy that the sign is real, especially with Putin faffing about North Korea right now. Arches of flowers and threadbare red carpets.

It’s both, my minky boodles. To quote the immortal musical musing of Brak circa 2005, “I love you, honey! AAARGH”

To your good point about the city potentially recouping expenses through tax revenue, growing Denver’s tax base doesn’t appear to an objective of this program, as 55% of recipients did not appear to use the money to help themselves get legally eligible for jobs, i.e. you need a legal address to receive paper mail to get on a payroll in the US, because employers want it to put down on the paperwork for taxes. Employers want to please the IRS more than they want to hire you, unfortunately for a person without an address on record. It DOES NOT mean they didn’t get jobs. It just means that if they did, they are under the table jobs.

No problem, thank you for posting this, I’m fascinated by how this article is constructed.

I’m more concerned about made up numbers in the original article on Denver’s pilot UBI. I want to game this out with help, the math doesn’t quite add up.

Isn’t it already named “The Dole”? 🤔

Good point and cheers for a thoughtful reply. :) The article states that two private foundations paid out about $10 million to finance the pilot program. The city of Denver seems to have no direct investment in this program, but it’s unclear from the article. It states that State university students did data gathering during the project and paid up to $30.00 for each response from stipend recipients. Given the above, I would respectfully suggest that these self-reports exchanged for money may be biased, confirmation bias could be a huge factor. The university is the only entity that has released their findings so far, which means that the only metric we have is the pilot project director’s opinion that, to paraphrase, “It went so well, we need more funding!”
