The interior angle of the pizza slice emoji in the Apple emoji set 🍕is 48.5556º, implying that the pizza was cut into a very awkward 7.4 slices. (Or that somewhere there exists another 48º slice and two corresponding 41.4444º slices)
The president and chief of staff of Cal Poly Humboldt have assembled a police force from as far south as San Francisco, and they are currently announcing a “leave or be arrested” throughout the closed campus. Follow live at http://KFRH.net
So it sure feels like we’re going g to have a verdict next week in #Individual1’s criminal trial.
The prosecution has shown ample evidence that there was a payoff to Daniels, by Cohen, from his personal funds, which were reimbursed through sham invoices for non-existent legal services.
The intent of the payoff was to kill the story in the closing days of the election. After he won he even tried to avoid reimbursing Cohen, and iced him out.
I don’t understand email. How do I know which email service to choose? Won’t I be stuck only communicating with people on the same server? How will people find me? What if I don’t like my service and have to change my email address? Or if my service goes out of business? Why do some email providers charge money and others are free? Will I get ads in my email? It’s all so confusing. Why don’t we all agree on one giant email server that we all use that is secure and benevolent and free?
If you’re running for President, my personal advice is that you not name-drop as friends or role models Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, Adolf Hitler, or Al Capone.
I bet you won’t be surprised to find out that in addition to forgetting that she had been vaping in a theater (and had been directly asked not to by a pregnant woman behind her), Lauren Boebert (R-CO) also forgot that she was not actually on the board of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts https://www.denvercenter.org/about-us/leadership/#board-of-trustees
Did the authorities reach their snap judgment that the Rainbow Bridge crash and explosion “had no nexus to terrorism” based on anything other than that the car’s occupants were white and wealthy?
Your day in the GOP:
• Appeals court refuses to grant immunity from prosecution to leading Presidential candidate
• Party chair announces resignation
• Homeland Security impeachment attempt fails
• Standalone Israel military aid bill fails
— “Our junior programmers don’t know how to escape and normalize metacharacters in database queries of our GIS”
— “I’ve got it: why don’t we just change all the street signs?”
In an optimal justice system, #InmatePO1135809 would be tried and convicted in four courts of up to 91 felonies before the November election, because:
• he filed false business records in New York to hide his payoff of a sex worker
• he illegally solicited the Secretary of State of Georgia to “find us 11,780 votes”
• he orchestrated the siege of Congress that successfully disrupted the counting of electoral votes
• he illegally took hundreds of Presidental records and obstructed their return
I’ve snarked a lot about #InmatePO1135809 and his legal weaux and general lack of winningness. I even strongly defended the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision that the state had the right to enforce its own election laws and bar him from the ballot.
That case went directly to SCOTUS and was argued today, and by all accounts, it didn’t go well for Colorado.
Having read a lot of analysis and commentary, I’ve changed my mind.
Evil Mad Scientist Labs once prototyped a board called MOnSter 6502, a reproduction of the MOS 6502 chip built entirely of discrete transistors and resistors. It’s about 18 inches on a side.
If you were to build a replica of the Apple A17 Pro SoC at the same density, with nineteen billion transistors, it would cover 128 acres (52 hectares) and be nearly a half mile (721 m) on each side.
I’m really afraid that if the Writer’s Guild and SAG/AFTRA strikes fo on for another few months, the next wave of broadcast television programming will be entirely from dorbell cams
I’m surprised that nobody’s talking about how Jack Smith sourced immense amounts of detailed information about the location, contacts, and communications of the American POTUS from the unencrypted records of a private company.
It’s as if everything the NSA and Secret Service feared was gleefully embraced by the chief executive.
Emmer prevails in the caucus room, but there are up to 20 votes against him on the House floor.
“Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) said before Emmer was nominated Tuesday that the conservative House Freedom Caucus is not committing to backing Emmer on the floor.”
He has to make a deal with Jeffries or he’s going down. And if Emmer goes down, Johnson is not going to do any better. Then all it would take is for five frustrated Rs to vote for Jeffries and all hell breaks loose
So an IVF cycle retrieves 10-20 ova, of which about 80% are successfully fertilized in vitro. Call that 12 embryos. On average 2 are implanted in the woman’s uterus, leaving 10 per cycle unused. About half of those are disposed of; the other half are cryopreserved but 70% of those are never used.
In 2021 in the US, women underwent 368,502 IVF cycles, which resulted in 89,208 live births.
That’s 1.5 million embryos in 2021 destroyed or shelved by IVF. That year, there were 625,978 abortions.
