"Get out to vote" is a direct instruction. It means you personally should go and vote.

"Get out the vote" means you should get everyone else out to vote. "Vote" is being used as a mass noun that you want to make as large as possible -by getting it out and making sure people turn up.

A relationship graph which requires no gay relationships is called a bigraph (honest, I'm not making this up) or bipartite.

That follows because if you can two color the graph so that edges only connect different colors, you just assign male to one color and female to the other.

This means there's a tone of mathematical identities describing this. Wikipedia has a good introduction.

That's just what they want you to think.

I heard that if her white van drops below 30 the cat explodes.

I mean if it was a realistic list around 4 (not sure how many were actually released) of the top ten would be fantastic four films.

This is just a list of "superhero films everyone has seen that were kinda mid". I want a list of the films that were so bad I've not heard of them, because they crashed and burned so spectacularly.

Grammatically, introducing "her" doesn't reduce the ambiguity.

The sentence still could refer to her ordering someone to steal her handbag. E.g. "the crime minister had her partner killed" will almost always refer to a murder for hire.

"The crime minister's bag was stolen" is less ambiguous. But it's English, everything is going to be a bit vague.

He fucked up dropping out as well as everything else. People can still vote 🪱 in a bunch of states.

I remember playing Max Payne. There was some battle in a bar against a guy with a shotgun. If you timed it right between reloads you could run up to the guy, stand on the bar so your guns were exactly level with his face and empty two Uzi clips point blank into his face before he could reload.

Then you would run out of ammo and he would one shot kill you.

It was added by Twitter before Elon broke it.

"Trusted individuals" get to propose context, and it's vetted by a bunch of other trusted individuals. Everyone then votes if it's good or not. Context that is too contentious will probably get removed. If you keep proposing notes everyone hates then you lose the status.

Yeah, I used to date someone from one of the richest families in Guangzhou (at least pre revolution). When the revolution came they hid a shitload of wealth, in the form of antiques, gold, and foreign assets.

Don't get me wrong. They got shipped off to camps, and lost most of their money. But those that survived the cultural revolution were still richer than almost everyone else.

Social capital is important, but real capital helps a lot too.

Polywork is when you get fucked by multiple bosses.

We get in trouble if we fail everyone because we made them do a novel synthesis, instead of just repeating what we told them.

Particularly for an intro course, remembering what you were told is good enough.
