Politics And Current Events

I'm curious as to what she means with "law's been changed" to make it so that Jan 6th would never happen again. The question was specifically as to Mike Pence's actions on that day. Recall there was an assertion that the VP had the ability to reject electroral votes while presiding over the officia...

White rice has no taste or texture. Like white bread.
What are you on about? Clearly, both white rice and white bread have both taste and texture. Mild? Sure. But if you want to try something with no taste or texture go swallow some air.
A bunch of philistines on this board.

Liking white over brown rice is as bad as liking Wonder bread over whole wheat bread.
Rye please.
I always get Rye bread toast at diners with breakfast yet I've never seen that sort of rye bread in the grocery store.

brown rice isn’t that bad and it’s health benefits make up for its taste
Brown rice pudding is amazing.

Brown rice is garbage rice and it’s a god damned travesty that it’s the healthy option.

Ned is from some horrible Cleveland suburb but probably tells everybody he’s from Cleveland.
We had family friends when I was kid that lived in Shaker Heights. That was a cool neighborhood, at least at the time.

tbh I was surprised Ned is American. I had just assumed he was Czech or something (it turns out his grandparents were from Serbia) I think most last names that end in "vic" are Serbian is origin and are pronounced as "vich". Growing up we had the Marinkovic's and Milkovic's as neighbors. DK is one ...

I don't think it would even be a matter of looking for precedent. It's just a matter of maximizing the payout, which shouldn't be too hard because the negligence is so clear. I'd bet money that this would be a res ipsa loquitur (Latin: "the thing speaks for itself") case. That's a legal doctrine th...

Another thing that has influenced the UCLA goings on: The LA federal building is more or less right across the street from campus. Organized protesting was taking place there (right in the midst of the biggest traffic snarl in a city sort of defined by traffic snarls) months before anything was hap...

But that's something that's only become a League-wide (mostly) mindset in the past......... maybe 5 years? Lots of teams were ready to pay star RBs $15 million to do the job of maybe three roster spots making $6 mil combined. That's more what I'm talking about, not tying that production to 'a' play...

home theater, cord cutting, video streaming, a/v tech, and more!

Finally took my comcrap equipment back and canceled cable and downgraded my internet (I don't really need 800mbps). Bill went from $250 to $80. They are such a rip off but it's my own fault for keeping it as long as I did.

I heard a house member saying this new antisemitism law will penalize (not sure how) anyone calling for the end of Israel as a state.

Huh? Not that I agree with the sentiment, but that seems crazy.

I'd like to know the % of the student population that's involved in these protests.

My guess it's very low and some of these protestors are not students.

@count2infinity, any of this going on at PSU?
