"I did that" sticker people in shambles

But if you're talking to an alien that uses base 4, they don't know what you mean by "base 9+1". Wtf is a 9?

Get enough of a majority in congress that she can be impeached (and convicted). Not possible with a 51/50 split in the senate. It'd take damn near 67 dem senators. Maaaaaaybe they can get 1 or 2 Rs to flip but it's a long shot.

In the theme song, the Spanish "Bob Esponja" goes way harder than "SpongeBob SquarePants"

Or one less cup of coffee

Man, I knew fingerprint encryption was bad but that is nuts.

Tbf, even the "right" way to balance 7 tubes in 24 slots is a bit cursed of you don't look at it as a superposition.

But you've got 3 tubes in an equilateral triangle and 2 pairs mirrored across the center, so we're all good here.

I mean, this is a useful law for those concerned with the excessive force against pro-palestine protestors, because the definition it references specifically calls out criticism of Israel as a state not being antisemitism.

If you read the text of the act, it really doesn't do much of anything. Doesn't expand the powers of the department of education or any law enforcement agency, just clarifies the definition of antisemitism used in existing laws about discrimination. The exact definition proposed is from the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance:

Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.

Nothing involving criticism of the government of Israel. That said, they do offer a little bit of clarification on their website:

Manifestations might include the targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity. However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic.

I really don't see anything worth getting worked up about. This is about as standard, boring government as it gets.

$9,000? Fucking seriously?

Plus with very specialized fields you get the effect of "really great at this one thing and absolutely nothing else".

If that One Thing ends up being worth a lot of money, these people often end up with a SUPER inflated sense of self importance..

Antibiotics. Turned so many lethal wounds into minor cuts.

Both you and the business can claim that as a tax deduction.

Confidently incorrect.

This is not how tax deductions for charitable donations work.

1. You round up to the dollar for a 50c donation
2. The business has 50c extra income
3. They write off 50c as tax deductible
4. They pay the exact same taxes whether or not you make a donation
