I’ve never heard of that. do you live in the US? I can’t imagine living here and not being able to eat corn derivatives

apparently it’s actually called GRIDLOCK, for anyone else ootl

“snorting Sizzle”
“snorting Float”
“snorting Glide”
etc.

I sometimes remember this, but then I get to the store and a cheesecake is $17 and I suddenly remember I don’t actually need it that bad

oh, yeah I didn’t get that at all. good premise though, sounds like it woulda been funny

if I understand correctly, it’s actually because she is. it explains that in order for a civil case to be under the jurisdiction of a federal court (and a civil case must be what she’s attempting, since she doesn’t cite any federal law to allege that the defendants have broken it), none of the plaintiffs can be citizens of the same state as any of the defendants. otherwise, presumably, it would fall under the jurisdiction of whichever state both parties are citizens of. so because both she and some gay people are Nebraskans, the case would have to be handled by a Nebraska state court, not a federal court

my favorite part is where they explain that for her to claim that this is under the jurisdiction of a federal court, she would have to prove that there are no gay people who are citizens of the state of Nebraska

to unambiguously say “unable to be locked” would be “nonlockable”

is it kinda like, every time you think you’ve seen the last one, suddenly there’s another?

one must imagine Sisyphus into edging

oh, we’re supposed to disagree with this? he’s right, and it’s Bush’s fault. because of “no child left behind” we’re letting kids who can’t read graduate high school. now, that’s not to say they should never graduate, but rather that they should have been taught to read, and not allowed to advance until they can

it’s not as bad as it sounds, he couldn’t have even made that many milkshakes in two and a half years, the machine would have probably only been working a few days in that time

that doesn’t actually exist in the standard number system; there is no single real number that’s immediately next to 0, you can always get closer. some number systems have infinitesimals, but real numbers don’t. and any very small real number with a terminating decimal expression is simply the inverse of a very large number, which is simply a long string of 1+1+1+1+1…

the only numbers that actually exist are 0 and 1. everything else is a reference to those

if an 8 minute round trip saves you $15, then you’re essentially paying yourself $112.50/hr to be your own delivery driver

fox once again imagining a much more based world to get mad about

ah, I see. I often forget that there are people who are somehow entertained by simply saying something that doesn’t make sense without being underlain by any implication that could actually be construed as humorous

I think you mean, better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it

in all cases, regardless of other factors, a situation where you do not need a gun is better than a situation where you do

oh, that makes more sense. I thought it was a crab-walk pose, but couldn’t understand why the capture area would include so much empty space underneath

I feel like that would have come up at some point during my two years of thermodynamics classes where we were constantly using ∆T. just did a search for “C°” in quotes, and for delta T; first one returned nothing, second showed a bunch of sources where the units of ∆T were °C. any idea where you might have heard this?
