Kind of a roundabout method of proving that August 31 was the middle day of a three day weekend, May 31 was a Saturday, and more people are on vacation in June and July, but you've proved it.
Growing up, "Don Quixote" was the title of a volume of my parents' bookshelves, visible but never said out loud. "Donkey Hotey" was the donkey puppet on Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. When a college lecturer pronounced the first as the second, I had no idea what he was talking about.
Save on Uber. Hadddonfield and Stratford CVS's are short walks from PATCO train stops. Also, don't forget to stock up on lower-cost liquor here in the Garden State!
Monsters University captures the vibe of starting out at a fancy college, gradually realizing it's not for you, dropping out and finding a profession where a degree isn't needed.

My New Jersey public high school cancelled shorthand a year before I got there. But slide rule education lasted a year or two longer, so I didn't miss all of the Ancient Arts. I'm 62.
I don't completely agree. Forrestal's actions leading to his being in his grave prevent him from rolling. I ban myself.
Yes. Substitution of non-tariff competing products will reduce the actual taxes paid. The effect will be small at first and will increase as the supply chain adjusts and more products are manufactured in the U.S. We don't have any data on this yet.
Or you could say that increasing effective tariff rate from 2% to 18.2% is an increase of federal tariff "taxes on American businesses and consumers" of 910%. Either way, it isn't an increase of 18.2%.
No. Tariffs raised $77 billion and total federal tax revenue was $4.92 trillion in FY2024. Additional revenue from raising the rate to 18.2% would be a tax increase of about $625 billion, which would raise total federal "taxes on American businesses and consumers" by 12.7%.
If it were full-time surveillance, Google would know that he already made the purchase and wouldn't send the ads. The problem is that Google knows about air conditioner research, but doesn't know that the purchase was completed.
An inherent limitation of Google: it knows that you did some research on air conditioners, but it doesn't know that you already made your purchase. Avoidable only by logging out of google before doing your research.
Have to disagree. What's insane for humans is not necessarily insane if you're God. Being tortured to death is no big deal--you'll walk out in three days. Also you already know how your actions will be understood in future millennia, and if you want glory (the last temptation?) you know what to do.
Unusually malodorous Australian Mercedes minibike: five words, each pronouncing one vowel three different ways.

Ironically, doctrine is clear that Jewishness is completely a consequence of being born Jewish. Like birthright citizenship, it can't be lost by beliefs or actions. E.g. Jews who worshipped the Golden Calf when Moses was climbing Mt. Sinai remained Jews.
Superman was created in 1938 by two Jewish dudes living in a Jewish neighborhood. HIs involuntary emigration to the U,S. began moments before his home world was destroyed by an evil force. That was a typical experience for Jewish immigrants in 1938, hardly even a metaphor.
Planning two lawsuits, to be filed after the NYC election, compelling the new mayor to take official actions. Already drafted Motion to Consolidate the cases under the caption IN RE: MAMDANI MANDAMI.
Not completely a coincidence. Pre-air conditioning, rich old folks tend to die during the first major heatwave of the Summer (poor people also die in Winter cold spells, but rich folks had adequate heat). And in Boston and Charlottesville, that's commonly around July 4th.
Since central heating became available, wood chopping and fire building skills have declined enormously and irreversibly.
"Germ theory" is also not current understanding. Bacteria, viruses, and fungi could all be considered "germs" but differ from each other. Mercury poisoning and mesothelioma (asbestosis) are caused by airborne particles, ie "miasma." Genetic diseases like polycystic kidneys are caused by neither.
Protip: If you nave an occasion to read the Declaration of Independence of Independence to a group, consider skipping the line about "manly firmness." Especially if it's a middle school assembly.
If only I could! [Disclaimer: I don't practice immigration law, and as far as I know the client I'm thinking of is U.S. born. Also if you knew him, you'd want him deported too. ]
In college I was in the same large lecture class as Jodie Foster, the most famous child actor of the day, nominated for an oscar when in junior high school. Once, we left the lecture hall at the same moment, allowing me to say for the next forty years, yeah, I went out with Jodie Foster once.
Responding to government actions by protesting is exercising your 1st Amendment rights. Responding by arming yourself is exercising your 2d Amendment rights. Responding by voting is exercising your 15th, 19th, 24th and 26th Amendment rights. My response? I exercise my 21st Amendment rights.
The original Ghostbusters movie opens with a great scene of ghosts making a mess of the card catalogue room of the NY public library. Brought back waves of nostalgia I could not explain to the grandkids.
Metaphorical dog's breakfast is completely unlike the actual breakfast my own dog, and every dog I've ever met, enjoys: a standard quantity of uniform pellets, served in a bowl that appears completely clean after the dog has finished.

This would probably nullify domestic violence-related restraining orders issued in the District of Columbia, and possibly also on on some Indian reservations.
Judge John Heil is the only judge to serve in THREE Districts: Northern (where he's Chief), Eastern, and Western Districts of Oklahoma. The full list of judgeships is in 28 USC 133. Three judgeships cover two districts and Judge Heil's covers three. Set by statute probably a century or so ago.

It's for the sports bars, airport tv's etc. Reporting on both drafts for people who are watching but don' t control the remote.
Wife: My ring slipped off somewhere while I was weeding. Help me find that old metal detector in the basement. [after two hours wheezing from toxic basement dust, checking 20 storage bins, more to go] Wife: I'll just order another metal detector. Me: Don't. Order a metal detector detector.
I recently scraped my knee in my mother's presence, and she immediately opened her purse to give me a band aid. I am 62 and she is 87.

Maritime yarns in the heartland: Old Glory by Jonathan Raban (Brit sails down the Mississippi from St. Paul to the Gulf); Riverhorse by William Least Heat Moon (Native American sails and canoes from New York City to the mouth of the Columbia River, with surprisingly brief portages).

Not all of it. If you must read it in front of a middle school assembly, leave out the line about Manly Firmness.
Due to the anti-DEI Executive Order, federal courts are dismissing all cases based on diversity jurisdiction, and are denying all claims for equitable relief.
Autocorrect loves fruit. It recently insisted that I was filing in the 9th Circuit Court of Apples.
Habeas petitions for anyone convicted following an indictment describing a location as "Gulf of Mexico," since the US will not dispute that no such place exists. An event occurring in the Gulf of Mexico is an element of several crimes, eg 16 usc 781, 1870.
Even knowing you’re joking, I can’t stop myself from pointing out that article II section 1 permits the president to either swear an oath or affirm an affirmation to take office, and an affirmation doesn’t involve a bible at all.
Any U.S, citizen who can't prove their parents were in the U.S. legally at the time they were born.
Once I filed a Verified Complaint in District of Hawaii that belonged in New Jersey, because a client signature was required; statute of limitations was on its last day; and the client was on an international flight until after midnight Eastern. Case transferred to NJ without objection.
Yes, you infringed, although BlueSky did not (assuming it isn't in Hawaii). The legal issue is whether you can raise the public domain defense. You can't, because the defense would require you to prove that you posted on January 1, and you didn't do that.
Contrarian Investment tip for 2025: Although Artificial Intelligence stocks had a very good year in 2024. the safer bet for consistent long-run success is to put your money in Natural Stupidity.

"Electronic calculators," according to one of my professors, explaining that we were required to use only our slide rules for both homework and exams.
Yep. Republican Presidents were at the wheel for five of the past five recessions (going back to Reagan), and ten of the past eleven (back to Eisenhower).
His economic record is unsurpassed: two terms, and the S&P 500 ended lower than it started during both of them. Also, recessions during both terms. Nothing like lower taxes on capital gains when all you have is capital losses.
This change apparently caused an insane increase in either child mortality or child emigration, , based in the decreased number of children listed on parental income tax returns after social security numbers were required.
