The issue here is because they're linked by the owner. If one stock goes up/down, the other does too. This has happened repeatedly with these two companies specifically, even.

So although they don't own stock in the company in question, they still have a stock in seeing it succeed. Its success will bring about their own financial gain.

The fact that this issue was voiced and they specifically took the action that raises questions about authenticity also means we must question if that's even the goal. If this went to a different judge, after all, one with no bias, then if this judge is unbiased, he should expect the same outcome. Of course, if he were biased and intended to give a biased ruling to take advantage of the chance to directly increase his wealth, then we'd expect him to be reluctant to let another judge rule on it. He could miss his financial opportunity, after all.

Tips are just added to what you made so yeah, it counts wherever an hourly wage counts.

However the current system just gets people not to report tips, so realistically they're paying a lot less into SS anyway. It's basically just the government going "alright let's make that official instead of tax fraud"

Well she can't be fired and the campaign finances are officially hers.

Nothing really biden could do. I suppose he could endorse Trump, technically.

Yeah it was secretly just two cables, and some kind of microprocessor or something that faked it was a hard drive on either end, I think.

And a great resume builder for the Democrat candidate after harris down the line.

Another vote for "well-written". I have read both, and both are good if they're done well. Besides, I don't usually have the option when I find a book, the summaries rarely tell me and I'm not gonna dig through the middle of the book for the answer to this question.

What I care about is being able to connect with the characters. If I can connect to someone in a realistic relationship, great. If I can connect to someone and they get that idealist treatment, great. If I can connect to someone and it seems like a romance but it's abusive and the book becomes a realistic horror novel, that's also great, I'll feel the fear and desperation.

I never have wanted to read a book to have a specific experience, is my point. If your experience was well-written, it would be good.

Aha but the passport office knew something we didn't.

Clearly this is proof they sell children overseas.

Well they still have a finite life and are less replaceable than a battery. Even if it quadrupled the lifespan (which is a reasonably generous estimate given OP's 4-year duration and wikipedia telling me supercapacitors last 10-15 years), it would still eventually need to be replaced and that would generally require resoldering it.

I think a much better solution is 2 battery slots, one to be a backup battery, unused, and then when needed, an LED on the mobo can be turned on. Honestly OP could jury-rig up a similar system if he wanted to, although it'd be a bit ugly and anytime something is jury-rigged I don't really think of it as reliable.

Elmo, obviously.

But there's a date on it, April 16, and they got a new contract signed on the 19th so there was no actual strike. Looks like they were given what they wanted, so no problem here.

The only real solution is to make this an extended maintenance task. The batteries are cheap so an alert every 4 years is likely sufficient to replace the battery before it dies. You could do it every 2 or 3 years instead at your discretion.

In fact the answer was a series of definitions of new biggest numbers, and you only defined one, instead of defining it, using it for its value of trees, then using that new term for more trees.

Garry's mod uses Valve assets and is published by Valve. Of particular note, it has half life assets in it.

The skibidi toilet series was made with Source Filmmaker, a video editing software published by Valve, which allows people to use the Source engine, the game engine that half-life 2 used. As SFM was made by Valve, they allowed a bunch of half-life assets to be free in SFM. the original toilet head is an asset from Half-life 2, Male_07, which Garry's Mod has access to, given it is a valve release and can use valve models.

They C&D'd Valve for using Valve assets in a Valve game.
