@atrupar The fact that Watergate would be a 12 hour news story today, says less about Nixon than it does about Trump. The current level of Trump corruption is so overwhelming in scale, that one can’t possibly keep track of it all.
Chris, I love your work, but I’m going to call you out on this. You have means. There are people legitimately struggling, and they don’t want to have a second child if they aren’t sure they can provide for it. Try to put yourself in their shoes. (This lady may not be one of them, she appears to have a nice car and is choosing nice stuff over a second child). But she is also not wrong — inflation is real and the cost of stuff is out of control.
🚨 BREAKING: Close Trump advisors have been informing him the likeliest cause of any “rip” in the Reflecting Pool surface came from him insisting the full motorcade drive on the fresh surface to “inspect” it before it was refilled, which he immediately denies to blame liberals.
There should be an option…
If you’re down 2 runs.
It’s a full count.
2 outs.
You’re allowed to load the bases.
Pitchers will hate it… but holy cow it could create a spectacle. It’s the Blue Spiked Shell of baseball.

Before the 1950s, clover was a STANDARD component of American lawns.
Seed mixes included it on purpose.
Then broadleaf herbicides were invented.
They killed clover along with "weeds." So the chemical companies rebranded clover as a weed — to sell more herbicide.
That's it. That's the whole story.
Clover is not a weed. It's the future of your lawn.
White Dutch clover (Trifolium repens):
Self-fertilizing — fixes nitrogen from the air into the soil. No fertilizer needed. EVER.
…and it feeds the grass around it for free.
Drought-resistant — stays green when grass goes brown.
Bee paradise — constant blooms from May to frost.
Chokes out weeds — dense growth shades out weed seeds.
No mowing needed (stays 4-6 inches) — or mow monthly.
Soft underfoot — kids love it.
Costs $5-10 to overseed 1,000 sq ft.
How to add clover to your existing lawn:
Overseed in spring or fall.
Scatter seed (2 oz per 1,000 sq ft).
Water lightly for 2 weeks. Done.
Stop using broadleaf herbicides (they kill clover).
Stop fertilizing (clover makes its own).
Mow at 3-4 inches.
The lawn industry told you clover was a weed so they could sell you chemicals.
Take your lawn back.
When I receive an angry phone call from a customer on one of my utility projects… I go to their house to hear them out. Then I repeat visit. Face to face time works well.
I think about this post often.
When someone asks:
"how do i get them to respond [call me back, more people to say yes, etc.]"
I can't help but think they just aren't being creative enough. Definitely not "Custom sword creative"
This guy has a 100% response rate from sending $1,000 custom swords to the owners of failing companies.
Each closed deal represents 7 figures of net profit. I love these stories so much.
A small public service announcement from the Department of Things That You Should Know…
It has not “peeked” your interest.
Nor has it “peaked” your interest.
…It has piqued your interest.
You are not “phased” by something.
You are fazed by it.
If you’ve had a long day, you are weary.
If you suspect someone is an idiot, you are wary.
It is “due course”, not “do course”.
“Per se”, not “per say”.
And while we’re here, it’s “could have”, not “could of”, but that particular battle may already be lost.
Thank you for your attention during this brief outbreak of grammatical housekeeping.
This has been a @LairdofthManor announcement.🎩💙
Spraying roundup on weeds in the cracks of your driveway is kind of silly. Boiling water will do the same job better.
Pour it straight onto the weed and down into the crack. The heat ruptures the plant on contact and it wilts within the day. A stubborn deep-rooted one might need a second pour, but that's the whole method.
Roundup's own label tells you to keep it out of storm drains. And a driveway is basically a funnel straight into one. Every rain carries whatever you sprayed down the gutter and, in most towns, straight into the nearest creek with nothing in between.
Boiling water kills the weed and stops at the weed.
I am not as big time as some of your guests, but I check the box on weird story and great business.
I designed, built, and run the first year round indoor temperature independent snow park in the US. Pigeon Forge Snow.
Also have done a bunch of other random stuff - own some self serve car washes, bought a golf course, developed a 80 acre subdivision, starting a dirty soda brand, started and sold an alpine coaster, 2013 bitcoiner, bought a bunch of real estate, you get the idea...
