It’s around 4,400. It bears mentioning that the population of Finland is only around 4.5 million. The Dallas Fort Worth Metro area has a population of about 6.5 million and a homeless population of around 4,500
LONDON (AP) — Four men were charged Monday over the theft of an 18-carat gold toilet from Blenheim Palace, the sprawling English country mansion where British wartime leader Winston Churchill was born.
If you’re a homeowner and not wanting to sell or refinance this isn’t a big deal for you. Your taxes go down. If you own a vacation home in the mountains I am just not that bummed that your investment has lost value

I’ll go ahead and second people praising The Wire and Twin Peaks, but Deadwood is on the same level. The cast is loaded with some of the best character actors of the era. The writing is remarkable. No other show has ever made the word cocksucker sound so Shakespearean
Over the last month, some Spanish-speaking New Yorkers got a recorded phone call from Mayor Eric Adams speaking their native language. “Hola, soy el alcalde Eric Adams,” the mayor says in a monotone but flawless accent, before launching into a pitch for jobs with the city government.

I’m in my early forties and live in an area where no one can fathom that I live without a car. I don’t make a lot of money and spent most of my adult life hovering around the poverty line. I have not had a car for twenty years. I understand that living car free is difficult but global warming is going to be a lot more difficult. Our addiction to convenience is a problem. Additionally until a significant minority of people decide to make life choices that allow them to live car free capitalism is just not going to cater to a better model. I feel like defensive reactions like this come from people who know that they are doing harm but don’t have the willingness to change their own behavior. I know it’s not easy but when has doing the right thing ever been easy.
I’ve exhausted things I can sleep to on Netflix, and it’s literally impossible to sleep to things on Prime (so I barely watch anything there; it’s not worth falling asleep to something I like, since I might be punished for it), so I’ve started putting on YouTube in the evenings since it won’t wake me with silence at...

Fernet Branca, absinthe, and most amaro will provide herbal dry qualities to a cocktail. Amaro Sfumato is particularly savory. I made a drink called a Mondragon which is 1.5oz 100 proof bourbon, .5 oz Amaro Sfumato, and .5 oz Anchor Reyes (red) with a healthy dash of Angostura bitters stirred in a mixing glass and strained into your glass of choice. It’s quite nice and just sweet enough.

It would be cheaper to foster an economy with more better-paying jobs so students would be able to pay off student loans, than creating a student loan relief program.
