If you think the Supreme Court is out of control now, imagine if Trump appoints two, three, or four more justices.

The average life expectancy in 1787 was 35 when the Constitution was written. Lifetime appointments didn't seem unreasonable.

Now that life expectancy is over twice that I think we should be looking hard at term limits. Maybe make it retroactive and flush Thomas and Alito

A recent report found that Americans have become less likely to go out for a workday lunch, and more likely to eat a brought-from-home lunch at their desks.

Do you go out for a lunch break? And if not, why not?

Besides the healthier food and cost saving aspect it makes the day seem much longer when I would take a real break. Like its two days of work in a way.

My last job I got into trouble when HR found out I wasn't taking a real lunch break. I was salaried and I was supposed to work 8 hrs with 1 hr lunch = 9 hr day. I prefer a quick lunch at my desk.

It is a real thing. You have to collect them just after their first molt when they are white. I don't think you marinate them alive. Besides being a bit cruel their shells will harden if they are living still. Probably should freeze them right away then can cook them later.

One of my cats as a kitten loved them when they first emerged. He ate one later after its shell hardened. I didn't like to see him in distress but his hopping around trying to pass it was a little funny.

I don't believe in Botox but I guess there is an exception to every rule.
