We’ve taken all of the water out of the ground, where did everyone think it went?

The plastic tax would have to be insanely high to be effective. The story of California’s plastic bag tax is a cautionary tale. Taxing the bag minimally was ineffective since everyone just paid the extra $2 a grocery trip for the disposable bags. California then tried an outright ban, but had to limit the ban because a large volume of pre-packaged items are already in plastic bags. The limit was based on bag thickness, so all the stores started handing out thicker bags at checkout. Despite the increased durability of the thicker bags, consumers discarded them at the same rate as the old thinner bags. Since each bag was made of more plastic there was more plastic waste than before the tax and ban.

That’s not how that works. 1. Aladdin isn’t an original Disney story. Like Cinderella, it’s an old story and anyone can make a version of it. 2. The timer on the animated film can’t be reset. It’s running and will continue to run. Steamboat Willie is the prime example of this. That version of Mickey is now in public domain, but later versions are not.

The argument isn’t that he was unaware of the law but that he was unaware he was violating it. In order to be convicted of mishandling the classified documents it has to be proven that he did it intentionally. The law is forgiving for accidental mishandling.

The jiggly argument is about not all parts moving at once or in one direction. If you jiggled to the right by taking one 18 inch step to the right, sticking your left arm straight left, waiving your right arm in a complete circle, holding your left foot 3 inches off the ground, and squatting down 10 inches how far have “you” moved?

I’m not a mathematician but if I recall correctly slope is defined the change in y over the change in x. In your formula solved for x, m would represent the inversion of that, the change in x over the change in y.

yup, slope intercept is the name of the formula. m is the slope of the line and b is still the y intercept.

The cube doesn’t have to be able to take the hit, it just has to not be on that side of the Death Star.

There actually are a lot of laws that allow prosecutors to stack charges.

They tried going after the servers and owners and found it impossible to defeat all the piracy sites. There are too many sites scattered across too many jurisdictions and new ones are created too easily. Instead, they want ISPs to do the work for them. When the ISPs fail the MPAA can sue them and make more money.

use the spoon

it is the intent

for it to hurt more

because it’s dull, you twit

The article found the numbers the OP image was based on.

For 2019, according to the SSA, the median net compensation for American workers was indeed less than $35,000 — it was $34,248.45, to be precise

The $35k was rounded. Less than half make more.

The stock wouldn’t be subject to IPO laws because there was no IPO.

Trump Media ‘went public’ by being bought by another, already publicly traded, company. That company changed its appearance to become the current Trump Media thus bypassing the IPO process.

I need a diagram about how to read that chart.

Reading the full description, it seems to also include room, board, and some winter clothing.

Before I migrated the bots were doing quite well by taking old posts and rewording them into new ones. I only started tracking them when I noticed one posting about a months old event as if it had just happened.

This is silly. Everyone knows that with Pita powder you just add water, let set, and BAM instant pita bread. It’s the circle of pita.

Digital age verification is only advocated by people who don’t know how the internet works. All it’s going to do is drive usage away from regulated sites to unregulated ones.
