    @axtremus said in State AGs say not so fast to relief bill provision: You misunderstand the nature of the matter. The federal government does not dictate state tax policy in this case, merely giving the states choices — accept certain conditions that come with certain federal funds, or not accept any such fund and be free from any attendant conditions. Like Title IX, Constitutionally the federal government cannot dictate states’ education policies, so Title IX gives them a choice — accept certain conditions that come with Title IX funds, or not accept any Title IX fund and be free from any attendant Title IX conditions. National relief should not come with that kind of strings attached.

    When the teachers left us alone during lunch period, we would have fights with those when I was in the 8th grade. It was a blast.

    Real-estate brokerages may be fine with digital signatures, but state laws may still require real signatures signed in the presence of a public notary when it comes to deeds and liens. The paperwork you sign at closing is oriented towards formalizing who holds the deed and the lien. Expect to get paper copies of things you sign, and be sure to keep the paper copies with original signatures. Good luck!

    @jolly said in Long Covid Is Not Rare. It’s a Health Crisis: Heard yesterday where some Long Haul patients are moving to the Florida, etc. Some say the hotter temps are beneficial. I dunno... Worked for Stevenson (somewhat).

    That’s right. There were quite a few military attaches and what not there as well.

    @doctor-phibes said in BGM: Basically, any time anything vaguely scary or unpredictable happens, Americans buy more guns to expand their already quite terrifying collections. The Brits, of course, buy alcohol, which is far more sensible. Oh, we buy alcohol, too...

    @klaus said in Taking Two Mercedes Benz E260Ls Apart: It is strange that they have chosen an E260L. From what I understand, the E260L is only available for the Chinese market (it's an extra long version), so if they can assemble E class in China, why would they make this model in Germany? I made a mistake ... I rewatched parts of the video and verified that the "import" is an E260 (without the L), while the "domestic" is an E260L.

    So many variables. There are very few cases where 1 person owns the whole team. In most cases there are ownership groups with different shares. In some cases, majority owners have salaried positions with the team, in others they don’t. There are a few owners that own their stadiums (greatly increasing their income) but most don’t. Then you have Green Bay...

    Interesting. I once had a small worm composting bin. Nowhere near as fast or scale as what is shown above. But, it was interesting to watch the process.

    The new border issue is not going away. I say let it evolve naturally. It’s one of Biden’s first tests and he should be given time. He will be ultimately judged on what happens.

    If you wonder whether something like this is true, it's always worth checking out the other articles in a publication. There's a bit of a trend, and it's not a particularly sane one.

    Besides, where are they getting all the money for this crap? Paying over 90 teachers more than $3000 extra to attend indoctrination seminars? Instituting costly school programs?

    @taiwan_girl said in Meanwhile, in Michigan...: @jolly Yup, not saying the rule was wrong or incorrect. No matter what the rule was, the judge would have said that it did not follow procedure to implement. I do not see this as a win or loss for President Trump. It just is. Oh, it's a Trump win. The Trump legacy will hopefully be election reform. Things like this buttress that movement..
