All the intricate rules of Calvinball.

BBD (best by date) is going to be 1 year, or some other legally specified number of days, from the date of manufacturing/canning. It can fall on the end of a month, but not intentionally. 28-Mar-2025 was a Friday.

I still vote for 3.

The 7 above is also missing some dots on the right, so there's an entire vertical strip of erased ink. The numbers are up to 5 dots wide, but the existing 3 only has 4 dots on the bottom. It's possible that a fifth is supposed to be there one spot higher, matching the missing number, but it just got clipped by the erased part.

where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was

'Bad' and 'negative' are synonyms here.

It appears to be 12' semi-circumference, making it ~7' 8" in diameter.

As if conservative Americans have read the bible. They'd be the ones crucifying Jesus for being too "woke" if they knew what it was all about.

It's like the saying, "is it wrong because it's illegal, or is it illegal because it's wrong?" It's a recognition that the law doesn't perfectly overlap what's morally correct.

Anti-heroes live in that 'moral-but-not-legal' area. Contrast that with people who bend the written law to serve immoral ends. Fascists tend to be Lawful Evil.

I hate that it takes away from the overall point being made, but the "Top 8" list doesn't agree with the table it's (apparently) pulled from. New Mexico should be 6th, not 8th.

On top of that, there's room for disagreement with how the table is calculated: Mississippi, for example, lists 25.4 deaths/100k, but the figures presented only list the number of crashes, not deaths. Crashes/100k results in either 23.2 or 34.1 depending on if you use population or drivers.

I won't challenge the deaths/100k exactly, but putting it that way does seem to "punish" states with more people per car that are in a crash. Carpooling is good, but does result in more deaths per crash. Number of fatal crashes per 100k drivers is a bit more fair to reality, IMHO. It doesn't change the big picture, but does put New Mexico up to 3rd.

The Red/Blue state thing gets more complicated when you take into consideration that Red states tend to be bigger and more rural, resulting in more miles driven. IIHS has "Deaths per 100 million vehicle miles traveled" for 2023 (https://www.iihs.org/research-areas/fatality-statistics/detail/state-by-state), and the top is still dominated by Red states, but New Mexico drops to 9th, while Oregon jumps all the way to 6th.

tl;dr: It doesn't matter how you slice the data, Mississippi sucks.

I would go even older, back to the 60s-70s. Some absolutely gorgeous cars, but the thought of actually driving one puts me off. Horribly inefficient, no modern safety features or comforts. It would be little more than an expensive driveway trophy, and that's just wasteful.

For three years, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office produced its own crack cocaine, so it could sell it to people that deputies would then arrest for buying crack cocaine.

 
 
 

Just because a 3060ti is technically capable of ray tracing doesn't mean I want you to keep turning it on every time the driver gets an update.

 

More people were killed by U.S. law enforcement in 2023 than any other year in the past decade, outpacing population growth eightfold.

 

"Don't make a wrong move," the officer said as he pinned the struggling subject to the ground. "Period."

The officer tightened the handcuffs around the subject's thin wrists.

"Ow, ow, ow, it really hurts," the subject exclaimed.

The officer pressed his weight into the subject's small body while school staff watched it all unfold. The person he was restraining was 7 years old.
