Technically there is a notation for parallel lines so you can't actually assume that, but I agree with everyone else that this would have been funnier if it added up to 180 degrees.

Btw. PSA to young folks, that notation looks like > on each line and some standardized tests will fucking get you on a technically with that shit, especially with the "it's impossible to know" answer being an option.

I can smell the internal mold growth in this picture.

Hell yeah.

Oh, I was so into UT but not for the reason everyone else was in middle school. I loved level editing and I made stages for friends. UT editor was subtractive and it was more intuitive, plus I had oodles of graph paper to plan out levels during class time when I was supposed to be paying attention.

When I was younger and was just freshly moved out, I used BNPL 0% interest a lot (iirc it was Newegg, was like 15 years ago). It was kind of necessary to get a computer and I had just got an RA contract that paid stipends monthly, guaranteed for 5 years.

If you already have money and can get 0% interest, you can reinvest that cash as long as you can guarantee a payoff (set reminders!). You can put that $2,000 in a CD for that exact amount of time, too, and earn yourself back 3%-4%. That said, they might have caught onto my grift cause they usually offer 5% back OR 0% interest, lol.

True, that was one unique part about this one was the Texans said the quiet part out loud. Was obvious enough to the lower courts, anyway.

Same. Too bad society hates us, lol

Actually, even if you go national, very few people like our system (something like 20% iirc?). And in NY? Fat chance.

You've got Citizens United, so both parties are pretty much in the pockets of insurance. They'll just ignore that desire until more Luigis show up.

You telling me those images of Trump swimming through flood waters to save people in a hurricane haven't already swayed voters? Lol

So far comments are pretty judgemental; you should know that male, neutered cats tend to gain weight with standard diets due to hormonal changes. Pair that with indoor-only lifestyle (which is very recommended for safety) and a dry food diet (which isn't recommended but is cheaper) you have a good chance at a cat gaining too much weight.

Yes, there will also be people who just spoil their cats, but so long as we're neutering and keeping cats inside then a weight loss drug might be reasonable to offset those factors.

Depressing but not surprising. Their corruption aside, the argument is that it's not race based because it's partisan gerrymandering... which is the official (and fucked up) reason for the maps. Partisan gerrymandering is legal, for some reason.

That said, race and politics are clearly intertwined so a bunch of black and brown folk are about to be disenfranchised. So long as the GOP remains the party of White Christian Nationalism, any partisan moves will continue to be racial ones inherently.

Did you do your homework? No TV until you've done your homework.

Y'know, that's what I was wondering when I heard the report on the study. I'm not sure they actually know (plus many of us, myself included, have a naturally later cycle anyway).
