The French have a long history of politically motivated violence

While I highly disagree with the concept of turning the office of president into even more of a joke by purposefully electing more celebrities, someone like Nick Offerman or Robert Downey Jr. Would easily be able to defeat just about any Republican candidate just on popularity alone.

Haha, LOL, I totally get it, but can someone explain it to my friend? He doesn't get it.

It's been a while since I've done long exposure photography and composites, but my recollection is that excessive noise is a symptom of long exposure and high ISO, and stacking multiple shorter exposures into a composite will significantly reduce the noise of the final photo.

To trick you.

Now if the question had been something like:

the boy starts out running at a speed of 5ft/s then slows to 2.5ft/s over the next 5 seconds...

Then you'd need differential equations or whatever the class is, and you'd have to use more than just basic trig, but as written, it's just basic trig and the time is irrelevant.

I mean, I'm a guy, I generally just leave the seat down 99% of the time and pee without lifting it. If there's any drips or splashes I'll just wipe it up. But every time I go in to poo or pee sitting down at night I always just check to make sure the toilet is how I want it. There's no reason not to just give it a quick check.

Are these women just... How to say this delicately... Dumb? Like you walk into the bathroom facing the toilet. You can't help but see it. Are you telling me they drop their pants and just do a trust fall onto the rim? I'm guessing no. I think it's a meme and women just don't want to have to put the lid up before going.

Same in VA, but if you buy a 6 pack to go, you cannot crack one open if you decide to stay, it may only be consumed off-site. Some won't even give you the beer until you have already closed your tab and are on the way out.
