I noticed missing dishing hammer for sheet metal shaping and caulking hammer for traditional wood ship building.

Dishing hammer is also important for armouring, and is missing from the picture.

I hope so, but they'll just blame the Dems anyway and their core voters will just believe it.

Interesting. I would argue that these are good reasons it should be against the rules in relevant academic situations, but I see no good reasons to call it "plagiarism". Needs to have a better word for it, which would cut down on a lot of arguments and confusion.

I indirectly knew a guy who got a bachelor's in parks and recreation management by writing 4 or 5 papers, and then just updating them for every class. That was also the person I learned the phrase "Cs get degrees" from, so he was very much not a model student.

Professors don't always teach in their actual area of expertise. I had a German language professor whose PhD was in Philosophy and activity published in that field, in English, German and French journals. It does seem like an odd combination, but probably not a lot of students signing up for a class in usability of buttons, even from the fields you would expect to study them .

We have the same thing as your prop 1 on the ballot in South Carolina. It's already illegal at the state and federal level. It's just on there to help get low information conservatives to the polls, since they are convinced the Democrats want to change the law to let "the illegals" vote.

They think this is what everyone does. They publicly virtue signal that they oppose whichever bad thing so they can condemn others for doing it while secretly doing it themselves. It's ok when they do it themselves anyway, because they are good people doing a necessary thing for good reasons. When others find out about their behavior, their reaction is to accuse harder, because they assume we are all doing that too and they are angry that we didn't get caught yet.

You're right we're nowhere close to downtrodden enough for that, but we definitely have enough inequality to want to joke about doing so, which I'm pretty sure is what was happening there.

Why buy the bridge when you could buy a Senator for less?

The owner shut down his McDonald's for the afternoon for this. Trump declined to wash his hands, dropped a batch of fries, and "served" a few "customers" through the drive through window. So yeah, basically a photo shoot.

Well, TIL. Thanks for the correction.

Yes, figs are visited by wasps in the region figs are native to, ~~but only in the same way that flowers are visited by bees.~~ This picture is very much not what that would look like. This is, I'm certain, literally just a wasp nest.

Edit: I stand corrected, fig wasps are born and typically die in their figs. Fortunately, that still looks nothing like this picture because they are super tiny.
