As sometimes happens when one thing is about to dominate, the opposition has a bit of a death throe.

This corner had a few good misdirects — I'm sure plenty of people got stuck on "throb" for THROE down here as well.

WIRED looks back at the promises and failures of the last 10 years But Nier, as a death throe, was a helluva last effort.

His whole neck will shake off this white death-throe inflicted by space on the bird denying it, but not the horror of soil where the feathers are caught.

The deal, which still needs to be approved by both House of Congress and then signed into law by President Donald Trump (so, you just never know!), is a sort of final death throe of a movement that has been limping along -- mortally wounded but still, somehow, breathing -- ever since Trump emerged on the political scene.

Bugs did die against the windshield (we thought they were sticky rain); otherwise it was just a pastel-scape of pinky-white grasses and stiff, bleached bushes blown into wild, death-throe shapes, the frosted purple of the salt and sand flats, and far in the distance — more than a mile from shore, that's how receded the water was — the light pink surface of the Great Salt Lake.

Nah. Anyway, before we shove 2019 down the garbage disposal of history, let's take one look back and remind ourselves why we want to forget this train wreck of a year, starting with … … which begins with the federal government once again in the throes (whatever a "throe" is) of a partial shutdown, which threatens to seriously disrupt the lives of all Americans who receive paychecks from the federal government.

The wingspan is 24–25 mm. The forewings are white, the dorsal half suffused with whitish-fuscous. There are two suffused transverse dark fuscous blotches on the dorsum in the middle and towards the tornus, reaching nearly half across the wing, the apex of the second giving rise to a short inwardly oblique streak of faint fuscous suffusion. A faint curved inwardly oblique fuscous shade from the tornus is more or less indicated for about half the breadth of the wing, in males continued by two or throe faint dots directed towards three-fourths of the costa.

John Boland, in the Irish Independent in 2001, criticised the RTÉ Guide's coverage and lack of critique or analysis about the end of Glenroe: "a supposedly loved friend was expiring after 18 years and you're supposed to feel something about that, aren't you? Then you realised that the programme had been expiring for years and years, and that this final death throe was merely embarrassing in its lateness." Wesley Burrowes in his article for The Irish Times's Arts section on 27 January 2001, discussed the beginnings of Glenroe as a story. This started with The Riordans, after which RTÉ asked Burrowes to write a spin-off which became Bracken, and then on to Glenroe where the characters Miley and Dinny Byrne were carried forward to the slightly more urban setting of Glenroe (set in Kilkoole, Wicklow).
