Soviet Union ... Maoist ...

Uhh

So I learned something yesterday, from someone who is in the world of research.

The trope about researchers spending most of their time applying for grants is no joke. Universities don't pay researchers; the researchers get paid from the grant money they receive. If they also have a teaching position, they might get a tiny tiny bit from the university, but that's it.

So when federal grants get halted, there's a whole bunch of people who do important research basically put out of work immediately. The kicker is that a fair amount of the research being funded is ongoing research, where if you just "stop doing it," all the previous work is ruined. Because there's a lot of things you can't just stop, put on a shelf, and restart later.

Little t's war on universities is more serious than you might think.

We are all playing in a World of Darkness game on this glorious day.

“/s not /s”

I promise this is relevant.

Oh yeah, that's what I meant. I'm sure they're not making them themselves. They're sourcing them from overseas somewhere for sure.

The researchers tested flavored and “clear” versions of three of the most popular products — Esco Bar, Flum Pebble, and ELF Bar — and found “excessive emissions of toxic metallic elements” in the aerosols from each of them.

All three of which are from the same company. I'm not seeing any information there about where these are manufactured, but if I guessed China, I probably wouldn't be wrong.

On the other hand, jerk off as much as you want to. Jerking off doesn’t hurt anyone, go for it.

I seem to recall the word "patchwork" being invoked to prevent Colorado from disqualifying Trump from the ballot.

The person who delivered/stole the item is not a Doordash employee, as @TauZero@mander.xyz points out. They're also right about if OP goes to the police, OP is subtly conceding that the independent contractor driver is the perpetrator, which can be argued to be letting BestBuy and Doordash off the hook - which is what they want.

I agree that doing the chargeback is the best course of action at this point. Yes, the bank will want to see the video proof - the bank is probably the only organization involved who would care about that.

There's more to grocery stores than just prices. Careful placement can mitigate the problem of food deserts, where people just don't have reliable access to groceries, especially fresh foods. To my mind, it would be fine if such public groceries ran in the red, because robust public services should rank higher than profit when government is involved.

I believe that it would also be true that at a much much closer distance, the signal strength would fall below the CMB and become practically invisible, due to the inverse square law.

The thumbnail made me think this was a kitten pinball machine.

$5K would be cheap for all that.

It’s cheaper still to just not cover it, and raise premiums.

He was taking a Risk.

Yeah, I can’t be mad about this. They bought the books, they can do with the physical media whatever they like.

Nothing is unbreakable.

“I have never advised a Department of Justice attorney to violate a court order,” Bove told the Senate Judiciary Committee.

That's a very specific statement, ain't it?
