Fixed that for you. :wink:

And, boy, half the replies in that thread seem like they have even less knowledge, if it’s possible. (with the other half having the “what are you idiots talking about” reaction…)

That chart with the “worth” of the dollar going downhill is something else. Someone should explain inflation to that idiot – and why the curve isn’t perfectly flat up until the gold standard was removed.

https://www.courthousenews.com/capitol-rioter-admits-to-new-felonies-while-representing-himself-in-court/

A 27-year-old Capitol rioter who is representing himself failed to argue his way out of jail in a bond hearing Tuesday. He accidentally admitted to several additional crimes while he was at it — which a federal judge warned him about at the onset of the hearing.

Fellows asked to call Halverson, his ex-lawyer, as a witness.

Fellows also admitted that he recorded a conversation with Halverson in which he asked if he should contact McFadden’s family in order to get a new judge — a supposed “loophole” he read online that claimed he would get a new judge to try his case. Fellows confessed that he had already done that with a New York state judge, which is why he had listed the judge’s wife’s phone number as his own — and was found out when a clerk of the court attempted to contact Fellows about an allegation that he was harassing a former girlfriend.

Fellows testified that Halverson told him, “You did not find a loophole, Brandon, I promise you. If you do this with Judge McFadden, you will be arrested.”

McFadden noted that Fellows had admitted under oath to multiple possible felonies, including obstruction of justice and perjury.

McFadden denied Fellow’s motion to have his bond status revoked.

“You said that when you’re worried, you don’t make understandable decisions,” McFadden said. “I think you’re right. And that’s concerning.”

How postmodern. I picture some philosophy professor having a major stomach ache next time they try to talk about meta

Add “mucil”, and maybe their tummy will feel better.

I got an invite to try FB’s dating site, Spark. Um, no.

That is so funny!!!

But this is a hallowed corporate tradition, like Philip Morris changing to Altria and Blackwater to Academi.

Not to mention Comcast.

Yeah, it’s Xfinity, but I looked at my paper bill and it has as Comcast as the company name in the to-section of the bill.

And thanx for the compliment; honest, it was the first thing I thought of when I saw the word “meta”.

We always call the powder Metamucilage, which seems singularly appropriate. Maybe it’s appropriate for Buttbook too.

the radical new building concept, which calls for an 11-story, 1.68-million-square-foot structure that would house up to 4,500 students, 94 percent of whom would not have windows in their small, single-occupancy bedrooms.

The idea was conceived by 97-year-old billionaire-investor turned amateur-architect Charles Munger, who donated $200 million toward the project with the condition that his blueprints be followed exactly. Munger maintains the small living quarters would coax residents out of their rooms and into larger common areas, where they could interact and collaborate.

“Munger Hall, in comparison, is a single block housing 4,500 students with two entrances,” McFadden said, and would qualify as the eighth densest neighborhood on the planet, falling just short of Dhaka, Bangladesh.

:scream:

Beyond the horror of using cramped accommodations to force students out into common areas with all of their distractions, I’m wondering how this would work for fire codes. The entrances would create a heck of a choke point for an evacuation.

I worked in a new lab building in grad school, where school security chained one of the two exits after 5:00 pm. The doors were cheap and installed badly, so that the positive pressure in the building prevented them from closing properly. I called the city fire marshal, but they referred me back to the university marshal, who naturally said there was no problem. It was the only exit on my floor (the building was built on a small hill). The main entrance was a floor below, to which I had to walk a fair bit to get to. Really annoyed me that they’d cause such a stupid fire hazard. Maybe they thought grad students always went home at 5:00.
