Eventually the German people will demand a solution.

If it's for a stock, they're good for that. If you need a bunch of crab meat, they're probably too small.

Crabs that are kind of small to keep for boiled crabs but OK to put in halves in seafood gumbo are "gumbo crabs." They're mostly for seasoning in seafood gumbo.

One thing that slows down the game is that almost every time somebody reaches base, he calls time to hand off his batting gloves and whatever extra protective equipment he wears (if any) and to sometimes get a base running oven mitt.

If you made it on base with all that stuff and without a special mitt while you were batting, you can go to the next bases while others are batting without a costume change.

But Christianity took root in the Roman Empire, not one of the Hellenistic states. Those were long gone.

They weren't unrelated things. Think about the concept of "Greco-Roman."

The Empire and so the early Church was largely Latin speaking in the West and Greek speaking in the East.

A groyper. Like that little gay Mexican dude?

It's an allusion to the Chinese emporers of antiquity.

I played golf today with an Asian couple. The lady wore a mask outside while playing golf.

It couldn’t be more obvious that Trump is just riffing this whole term. His biggest priority so far has been renovating the White House and Washington.

---

He captured the leader of a foreign country and effectively took control of a former enemy's oil. He reduced illegal border crossings to near zero and vastly ramped up deportations. He launched a massive air and naval war against Iran, an enemy the US has been in conflict with for decades, and even killed its Supreme Leader on day one of the war. (Agree with the war or not, it's obviously significant.)

But he's just renovating the White House. OK.
