  • When I was 25, my girlfriend complained about buying the same bra, same size, same material, same URL, from the same company, on their website, 2 years apart. The first ones fit really well, the second ones didn't fit at all.

    Meanwhile, there's a shoe that I buy a pair of every few years. They release a new "version" about once per year, but the fit has been consistent, so I'm over a decade, and 6 pairs, into my purchase of them, with no problems.

  • The 13th ended slavery. You're probably thinking of the 12th which says that no person constitutionally ineligible to "be" president can be elected as vice president. Importantly, the 22nd only places limits on being "elected" as president, so it's not (necessarily) creating a constitutional requirement to "be" president by some other means.

    Like I said, it could be an interesting legal fight if it even came up.

  • You can only be elected as president twice. You can probably hack the system by getting multiple other presidents to select you as vice president, then resign. If you serve more than 2 years of the term they were elected to, that reduces the number of times you can be elected as president to one.

    The 22nd amendment doesn't say that someone that serves 3.99 years of another president's term multiple times can't still be elected, and it doesn't say that someone not qualified to be elected as president can't be elected as vice president, but the 12th amendment might. Either of those could be an interesting legal fight.

  • The belt and belt loops go all along the top row. If there's only one row, the matrix can only wear a short-shorts version. There's a crotch in each space between columns, and a leg on every column of length greater than 1.

    Sparse matrices have their own special pants that are more efficient, of course.

  • George HW Bush was the last one to leave office while the economy was doing well. It was going fine at the end of George W Bush's first term, then the 2007 housing crash brought it down. Trump's first term ended with the covid lockdowns severely harming the state of things. So... 3 Republican presidencies ago, but that's a lot of years.

  • Trump was pretty ineffective in his first term, largely because he did a terrible job of supporting people who really agreed with his agenda, and an even worse job of removing people from influential positions who didn't.

    He said during his campaign that he knew much better who to trust, but now he's got Elon Musk and RFK Jr. prominently featured. I don't think he has learned anything, and I think he will be just as ineffective this time.

    It's possible that some of the Republicans in Congress will support more of his agenda, but even there if they have to overcome the filibuster, I don't think mass deportation, a federal abortion ban, or most of the rest of the potential worst of it is in the cards.

  • With 17, I understand that you're referring to how 299,999 is also divisible by 17. What is the 51 reference, though? I know there's 3,999,999,999,999 but that starts with a 3. Not the same at all.

  • You can just bitwise AND those with ...000000001 (for however many bits are in your number). If the result is 0, then the number is even, and if it's 1, then the number is odd. This works for negative numbers because it discards the negative signing bit.

  • Then you should return false, unless the remainder is also greater than or equal to the twenty second root of 4194304. Note, that I've only checked up to 4194304 to make sure this works, so if you need bigger numbers, you'll have to validate on your own.

  • When I was in college, our sportsball team won a game against the other guy's sportsball team by not many points. Many hundreds of students started a chant going out of the sportsball arena, and four freshmen decided to light a couch on fire, apparently thinking they'd just blend in. The police were there immediately, firefighters put out the couch in a few minutes, and they all got hit with fines.

    In short, I think you're exactly right, and most sportsball fans just want to be loud and drink.

  • I have made fun of another man for peeing sitting down, but in a manner comparable to making fun of an ugly outfit. The very hidden secret is I sit to pee sometimes too, and I have ugly clothes that I wear sometimes. To answer the other questions:

    If I'm already sitting, I'd pee sitting, 100% of the time.

    Yes, and that's one reason I would sit to pee.

    Not spotless, but it seems normal to me. If there's pee visible anywhere, I wipe it with paper. My wife mops the floor more often than I do.

    I don't have a ready answer for this.

  • Neither Lynnwood nor Everett is part of the City of Seattle. There is a separate local government for each of those three areas, with separate people setting a separate agenda, prioritizing separate resources.

    The government of Seattle cannot install cameras in Everett to increase safety there (or even for fundraising).
