And...I'm back. Yeah, I know...no one cares :)
Summary of goings-on:
- reprinting portions of what is now a Paz Vizsla tribute costume (new X1C printer is _nice_)
- returned from our first trip to Portugal...and now looking to move there (permanently) within 10 years. So there's that, which is nice.
- _might_ have confirmation of a new wolfhound pup coming later this year...about 4 weeks before officially official

@EmpressofEnby I'm your huckleberry.
"Hi there! Are you or someone you know looking for help with numbers? Well...look no more! I've got the solution to all your math-related problems: Mel! How good is Mel, you ask? Let's just say that they recently scored 100% on a math quiz. That's _all_ the percents! We're currently offering Mel on a first-come, first-served basis, so don't delay and talk to your local math representative now about how Mel can help you with all your number problems!"

@JimmySheridanNV Every "present" vote lowers the denominator.
Everyone voting, the winner needs >50% of the votes. For 435 members, that's 218.
If one R votes "Present", that brings it to 434...meaning 217 votes needed for 50%.
In order for the 212 D votes for Jeffries to represent 50%, you'd need 11 "Present" votes from the GOP.
@EboneezerGoode Bad case of electile disfunction...
@Graci Had it several times -- it's a great sipper (and your tasting notes are pretty spot on, from what I recall). Not my go-to -- I tend to lean towards the funkier Jamaican rums, but it's always a good drink.
What it ISN'T: "Hey, we've got this high-profile arms dealer of yours who's never going to see the light of day again. We'll trade him to you for Griner."
What it IS: "We have an arms dealer of yours. He's been in prison since 2008 on a 25 year sentence. All of his contacts have long since been burned and you can't find armaments anyway. We'll release him 10 years early in exchange for Griner."
@scottyorange no more so than any other beer. There's no milk in it - it's called a milk stout because it has lactose (sugar) added.
@Minholkin I am so sorry for your loss, and so happy for the time you had together.
Run free, pup.
@kimmievandee I am apparently unfamiliar with that rhyme as what comes immediately to mind is the Irish Folksong:
Mary Mack's father's making Mary Mack marry me
My father's making me marry Mary Mack
Mary Mack's father's making Mary Mack marry me
We'll all be feeling merry when I marry Mary Mack

That about covers it.
