How did you come into possession of a shofar? That's a pretty niche thing to just randomly show up in ones possession, haha

FTA:

>The trial had been scheduled to begin Jan. 18 after the Republican-led House voted largely along party lines last fall to impeach Krasner, a Democrat, for what they called his dereliction of duty.

>But following a Commonwealth Court decision last month to dismiss the articles of impeachment as legally insufficient, the future of the trial — and the timeline for when, or even if, it resumes — remains uncertain.

>The postponement, which the Senate unanimously approved, comes after the Commonwealth Court issued an order dismissing the seven articles of impeachment against Krasner on Dec. 30, saying none met the required legal standard of “misbehavior in office.”

Nothing too extreme, something that says "Leather Daddy", got it.

I was curious about your question, and i feel like places that specialize in leather are pretty scarce now. Looks like Dude's boutique on south street might be a place to check out.

Other than that, my first instinct would be to check out Macy's or a similar department store.

For sure. This American Life (i think) did an interesting piece on the guy who was lambasted for doing a rhino hunt a few years ago. The details that were omitted from the general media was that when rhinos get too old, they try to kill younger more virile rhinos and auctioning off the hunt was a way for the local African government to raise conservation funds and take care of this rhino that was a threat to the rest of the endangered population.

Not saying all big game hunting is ethical, but hunting and conservation is an issue that it would benefit more people to be knowledgeable about, in my opinion.

I couldn't find the F&S article, but found a similar WHYY piece

I'm not anti-meat consumption by any metric, but I would like to go hunting at some point to at least have a better understanding about where my food comes from and what it would mean to get my own meat.

It finally got me - came down with COVID last week and I'm finally starting to feel human again. My sense of taste and smell is slowly returning. On a flavor scale from distilled water to Mountain Dew Baja Blast, i'm at about a Lime LaCroix. 0/10 recommend the whole experience.

Hope everyone had a fun and safe New Years, and here's to a good 2023 🥂

It's not required for the driving test, unless things have changed dramatically. I took mine in the northeast, and i basically drove around the block and parallel parked - i can't imagine it has changed that much, although it has been a while....

Driving on the highway is definitely intimidating, and worth having at least a friend or family member help you go for the ride to build up a little confidence at some point, but I wouldn't say it needs to be before your test.

Honestly, driving in peak rush hour isn't that difficult either, since traffic isn't moving. It's really the times right before/after when there is a lot of traffic moving at high speed that highway driving can get a little hairy, so just plan your trips accordingly until you get more comfortable.
