Lol. How soon he'll sell it is directly proportional to how many ~~suckers~~ people he can convince he's going to keep it (and who thereby prop up the stock price for him).

According to this: https://www.wkrg.com/alabama-news/lakeith-smith-resentencing-alabama/

The time was for two charges, theft/burglary and felony murder. The resentencing set the prison term to 30 years, effectively setting the sentence for felony murder alone at 5 years.

Probably he's on a diet and his wife won't let him eat more than 1 order of meatballs.

Also he tricked the ents into walking past Isengard so that they'd see how many trees Saruman whacked and take an ax to him instead.

Feels like they overnerfed ember

Interesting. This kind of bill is for costs incurred as a result of the rally rather than for directly using the facilities, e.g. paying for an increased police presence to control protestors. Seems like candidates are not really obligated to pay for this.

This article claims they pay a higher effective tax rate, not more in taxes. A citizen working the same position would pay even more in taxes since they would also have to pay income tax.

Maybe the headline should be that sales + other flat taxes are becoming an increasing burden for low income workers. This is the problem for the illegal immigrants in the study, and even more of a problem for citizens who earn the same amount.

Sad about this one tbh. Didn't really seem op in my pubs but maybe it was too good in the pro scene.

*You can only teleport out to where you teleported in from.

Does this mean you get dropped into outer space if you stay inside for more than checks notes ~4 minutes?

Have you checked if your college has a tutoring center? Usually they offer free tutoring for the first several physics courses.

It takes a lot of time but it works REALLY well. You can do your homework there and they'll tell you if you make a mistake.

There are probably only a couple of concepts you need help with. Have them walk you through 3 of the harder homework problems at the end of a unit and you'll be amazed at how far that gets you.

If you don't have access to tutoring (literally the best way to learn), go to your prof's office hours. Read the problems and ask about what you're struggling with.

Is it feasible? Sure. The limit on this kind of calculation is basically how much detail do we need to add to the environment (i.e., can we make the model) and how high resolution does the sound wave need to be (can we calculate it given finite compute resources).

To get something that roughly sounds like a rock? Not difficult to model or calculate, if we make some reasonable assumptions.

The sound of a wet towel thrown in the water during a hailstorm? Uhhh that's a tough one.

Simulating sound uses classical mechanics governed by the wave equation, which is well-understood. In terms of CPU power, the calculation to propagate a simple sound wave (wavelet) could probably have been done on a TI-89 calculator from high school.

These comics seem to age surprisingly well.
