It seems reasonable for each partner to continue to use their original family name if they want to, even if it’s only the husband’s name on the marriage certificate.

If you go down the legally hyphenated name path, after a few generations, this could potentially devolve to family names like: Jones-Smith - Smythe-Johns - Longbottom-Allcock - Junior III (etc).

I find the asymmetry of the mortar joints to be visually bothersom.

Buzz Aldrin’s defence in court:

“Your honour, that video of me punching that guy is totally staged and fake, and I was never there.”

What about just needing to steer along a windy road?

That image - pure gold

I’ve been refilling the same cartridge with a syringe for years :-)

I still have, and occasionally use a pen virtually identical to this. Mine is a Sheaffer “Slim pen” purchased 1988, so maybe thinner than yours. Some years ago, I sent it away for repair. It came back fixed free of charge!

As a non- American, I straight up don’t understand how political representatives are not required to action the collective will of the people who elected them. It should be against the law, or subject to legal penalty in some way. .

This is a real pain in the ass if you drive manual:

Auto cars relax pressure on brake pedal to inch forward;

I’m sure all this inching forward happened a lot less when most cars were manual (Europe).

The U.S. is reaping destructive misery by failing to progressively raise education levels back when it had the opportunity during the last 60 years
