Mississippi is the only state that doesn't specifically prohibit drinking and driving (as long as you stay below the 0.08% BAC)

aren't they also going to let ACA subsidies lapse, too? So, the total unnecessary deaths will certainly be higher...

yes

The spirit is willing, but the flesh is bruised and spongy.

It's never too late; you're one of today's lucky 10,000!

my boyfriend and my mom both have that. makes for some fun dinners, since my dad is a super loud eater (tbh, even i get annoyed by my dad eating, lol). luckily, my mom trained me up in the ways of polite eating from like day one, so no friction on my behalf!

One time when I was a little kid, my sister and i saw a huge spider crawling along on the floor very slowly. We screamed, and our dad came in and stepped on it. Thousands of billions of little baby spiders came pouring out. It was horrifying. And that's (one of the many) reasons why I don't kill spiders. If necessary, I will relocate them outside by trapping them with an upside down cup and sliding a coaster underneath to ensure secure transport (unless they jump, then I make my partner do it, lol).

herbs are just weeds that taste and/or smell good.

Mine always stays intact. Until i let literally anyone borrow it. The worst is when you get it back and instead of being totally snapped off, it's just bent up to a 90⁰ angle, and then you have to snap it off yourself because you can never get it to lie flat again after that. That's why I would always keep a spare with the clip already fucked up in my bag when someone inevitably asked to borrow a pencil.

He can't pardon a disbarment, though!

My mom only had the lower two wisdom teeth, none on top.

It does sound kinda crazy, but you will use it for like 1/3 of every day. I can see a similar argument being appropriate as for buying high quality shoes.

That... actually makes a lot of sense. Time could just be an emergent property of entropy. The second law of thermodynamics (the sum of the entropies of the interacting thermodynamic systems never decreases) could then be applied to explain why time appears to only move in one direction.

Is an appealing an innocent verdict not double jeopardy?

would all integers necessarily be irrational in base π?

They also lay tens of thousands of eggs at once.

Yeah, there was a whole movement to get them to move to what is now Liberia (or Haiti, or Panama). Even Lincoln supported the idea. Although, he did eventually abandon the idea due to, among other complications, his refusal to implement any plan that made it compulsory, so... at least there's that?

This is actually a result of changes to our larynx and stuff, which allows us to make such a variety of sounds when speaking. In other animals (and human babies), the air and food tubes are physically separated at rest. But in humans, our epiglottis can't properly keep things separate because our larynx is further down in our throat.

So, I'm gonna have to deny this request on the grounds that it will necessarily break the speech feature, which many of our users depend on heavily.

If they hadn't capped the number of representatives at 435 over a hundred years ago, we wouldn't be in the situation where a vote from Wyoming carries 3.7 times more weight than a vote from California. By my math, if the 435 cap was abolished, we would have 143 more electors generally sprinkled among the more populous states. I still agree that the EC is outdated, but it's not even operating the way it was designed.
