Basically, if the government doesn’t figure out a way to raise the nation’s borrowing limit, the government will be forced to default on their loans,

Let me give you a pro tip: Anyone that starts off their video by speaking to the social media platform and not the people using it is usually a psychopath. That’s like walking out of your house and saying “Good morning, car!” or “‘Sup mailbox.”

The stuff really is incredible. For mechanical removal, I’ve used Lodge pan scrapers ( https://www.lodgecastiron.com/product/pan-scrapers?sku=SCRAPERPK ) and Scotch-Brite Dobie scrubbing pads.

You, and me, and crates of ripe lychee

The soaps also contain almost no weird chemicals, like some liquid options that can leave behind a layer of film on the skin.

  Pfft. Sigma-Aldrich Ethyl alcohol, Pure 200 proof, ACS reagent, ≥99.5% . https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/US/en/product/sigald/459844 $134 / liter. Drink it quick before it hygroscopically absorbs water from the air and drops to mere 190 proof. Okay, somewhat under .1% is methanol, which will make you go blind—but the…

You keep talking in binaries; “should be expected to know” and such. It’s a timed test. That it’s possible to answer at least some of the questions faster if you have instant familiarity with the specific non-math terms thrown around the math problems results in measurable changes.

“Justice” is beyond my pay grade.

First off, no, not all the students are going to be US residents. International students are a thing—and have been important for brain drain, which may or may not be a good thing on a global scale, but sure as heck has been useful for the folks doing the draining.

Part of the disconnect is the questions on the SAT are far less “Calculate a hypotenuse” and far more culturally embedded than one might think. Concrete example: here’s the very first math sample question, from https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sample-questions/math/calculator-permitted/1 :

Found a registration in Canada: application 1820980 , registration number TMA1000072 . Horrendous URL at the end of this note. The registrant’s name doesn’t match, but this may be a doing-business-as situation.

There’s potential for confusion, since Pfizer makes both. But it’s Comirnaty for swelling balls, while it’s Viagra for a swelling cock.

I’m looking at TESS ( https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/ ), and while there are eleven live and four dead trademarks with “Patriarchy” in any field, I’m not seeing anything for “Peg the Patriarchy”. I find TESS hard to work with, though; I’m by no means confident in the non-result. In particular, I can imagine that phrase…

All that, and the offending vegetable STILL didn’t get the yellow card.

If we could raise doctors on the plains of Texas on a diet of grass, you’d be on to something.

These are the same food critics who turned up their noses at my Poulet moulé avec de la moisissure.

Yeah. I’m afraid he didn’t have the courage of his convictions, and so when it came to taking action rather than kumbayaing, ended up listening to the more foolhardy and/or genocidal of his company. (Still his responsibility for picking them and listening to what they said, of course.)

Now, to be clear, this is one of those “studies” that pops up on the internet every once in a while, performed by a company pretty clearly getting people to try to talk about, in this case . . .
