How is someone with two brown parents a "white hope?"

How do they get your vehicle number and phone number? Is registration data public?

Has he really researched this? Or just cobbling together urban legends? This jain chicken is a joke. Another review mentions HMS Minden built in Bombay as the ship on which Key composed Star Spangled Banner. Also wrong. I thought he was a better historian than this.

Noooo, don't!

Most sf gets biology wrong. Or maybe we don't know enough about physics etc to know when they're getting that wrong. So suspend disbelief and enjoy the yarn

Have your opinion. Just telling you to watch the show despite it. 😂

I've been getting Christmas tree ornaments from places I visit for the last few years! Not a lot so far but I'll get there! Here's a bit of the tree from last year showing Denmark, Canada and Puerto Rico.

It's from an Onion story. They're not that dumb. Yet.

In 1963 the US govt spent 2.5% GDP on research in America. This was on top of what business spent on research, and was not conflated with business "spending" on research by bundling in expenses like advertising into their research budgets.

That spike in 1963 has driven our economy for decades.
Some charts for those who don't know the extent of the US public (and private) investment in research (particularly in biomedical research) compared to other countries and institutions. The destruction of the US' scientific institutions has global implications.

Us science nerds had "if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate."

Agree with point about refocus on mission rather than growth. Especially with the coming "demographic cliff."

At the same time, I think a lot of departments could stand to cut down the number of PhDs they churn out. I don't think this will necessarily impact the quality of science.

Maybe NIC was doing a really bad job with email servers. I won't be surprised. But of course, kicking some nice govt. contracts to a "friend" of the party in power is probably another reason.

You don't forgo the standard deduction. You can deduct tips under this regulation even if you don't itemize.
September 19, 2025 at 2:21 PM
That's not true. It's available whether you itemize or take the standard deduction. Quoting from the article (emphasis added):

"The deduction is available to taxpayers who itemize **and** to those who take the standard deduction, though it phases out for higher-income earners."
