@xenon said in Grade Inflation at Harvard:

Very glad I did the econ - else I wouldn't have gotten into the grad school I wanted to, and probably wouldn't have gone.

I did the same in undergrad. My first major had the lowest grade averages, the lowest professor ratings and several of those professors made it known they had contempt for their students.

@Horace said in Real or Fake?:

If it's real, then why is the earth round?

Everybody knows the world is round. It’s just flat. Like a coin.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Buffett: “I could fix the deficit in 5 minutes”:

Or you could hold their children hostage.

The thing is, they are holding our grandchildren hostage.

Blood for blood

Just a short comment ...

In the old days, we had a two-tiered justice system. The rich received one level of justice, the poor received another, harsher justice.

Then, that changed. We still have a two-tiered system, but now it runs along political lines.

Maybe the Epstein case is a return to the former system...

@89th said in Riley Gaines testifies - and offends:

Honestly, I'd like the Whig party to come back.

It's not a whig, it's a fucking comb-over, OK?

@Aqua-Letifer said in Hay Aqua and other hikers:

I don't understand folks who hike for the views, either. Like the meme implies, it's barely a part of the whole experience.

After the sex act was complete, Bible said he continued to feel suspicious, so he shot her.

Days after the House of Representatives voted to expel Santos, the former congressman has already taken up a side gig recording personalized videos for a fee on the Cameo website. One of his first customers, it seems, was Fetterman, who then posted the video Santos recorded on Instagram.

"I thought my ethically-challenged colleague @senatormenendez could use some encouragement given his substantial legal problems," Fetterman said of the video he commissioned. "So, I approached a seasoned expert on the matter to give 'Bobby from Jersey' some advice."

(From what I heard, George Santos did not know it was specifically for Sen. Menendez and did not know if was from Sen. Fetterman. Also, I heard that Mr. Santos has made a TON of money doing these Cameo videos at USD$350 per video - like $250000 in the last couple of days)

What would an acceptable rate of void ballots in an election? Is it zero? I think that would almost impossible to achieve. In this election, the amount of void ballots was 0.02%.

Why didn't they just remove the 11 void ballots and then have new vote totals?

@Axtremus That is an interesting article. Maybe closer to Johor Baru would have maybe allowed people to make an easy transit to Singapore.

Another problem is that it is in a jungle climate. Without maintenance and usage regularly, everything will start to get overgrown.

I sort of touched on this the other day - but with different players, perhaps.

At least they don't tend to shoot at you in the medical corps.
