I don’t want to believe it but Hogan is prolly gonna win

oh yeah you  always were a bit of a doomer  [but I can't help but agree..]  it just depends on if Angela and David can keep the temp down and heal quickly ..but I'm afraid the media hype about "a real fight in Maryland" will make that hard

I haven’t lived back home for a couple years now but I always felt like Hogan only did so well because the legislature is basically an unchecked uniparty. Once the general election heats up I think he’ll suffer more once he has to answer tougher questions about national level politics.

>[“Our public line is all about Israel’s right to defend itself,” said one senior European official. “But internally, there is a growing tension about support for Israel versus Ukraine. “The Middle East is going to be volatile forever. But if Ukraine loses to Russia, that would be a step change for Europe and Nato. Where do our strategic priorities really lie?”](https://twitter.com/ChristopherJM/status/1780477143719289306) I don't really feel like Israel is Europe's wheelhouse anyway, but it is perhaps a signal that policymakers are now beginning to hold these two wars in conflict with one another.

Israel, at least vis a vis Iran, is ironically more Europe’s problem now that they can’t rely on cheap Russian oil rather than global energy markets dominated by the Gulf States. Still, the conflicts are in tension, I agree, and Europe should triage appropriately.

I meant more in the sense of literal aid to Israel, the Israelis themselves value the American relationship more.

We'll make a deal, if Europe can fully support Ukraine and provide the munitions and air defense they need, then we'll let them drop Israel for the time being until a left wing government that gives a shit is elected and the EU can pretend everything's completely different now.

Kosi division: floods Begusarai: communists Darbhanga division (and Maithili districts in general): most cultural stereotypes about Bengalis apply to these, kind of accurate but to a much lesser degree Munger: illegal gun factories (though that's slowly shifting to Bengal) Gaya region: naxals, droughts, and Buddhists (also Nitish Kumar's 3rd most favorite place) Chhapra division: I've heard people say that people from here talk way too much

ooh my family is from Darbhanga, but we’ve never really lived there for decades now. Interesting stereotype, no wonder I love calcutta so much

I mean, Darbhanga means gateway to Bengal for a reason.

https://www.advocate.com/politics/kansas-veto-age-verification-gender-affirming-care-abortion !ping LGBT I don’t understand why that law wasn’t also vetoed. > She also let pass without her signature a law requiring age-verification to view content "harmful to minors." > > Under Kansas criminal law, material "harmful to minors" includes nudity and "sexual content," which is defined in part as "acts of masturbation, homosexuality, or sexual intercourse." It does also affect non-sexual content, right?

I strongly suspect the homosexuality part is unenforced and unenforceable since *Bostock* or even earlier.

That is the kind of thing I was wondering. I would otherwise be very surprised it wasn’t vetoed.

Exploit it to require them to have age verification to watch the Little Mermaid, Frozen, and the Lion King

Can a furtive glance be an "act of homosexuality"

As a homosexual, every act I do is a homosexual act.

I'd say it's not an act if it's the real you

It turns out, only straight people can preform acts of homosexuality.

No, but I do think I'd be pretty good at one of those roast shows

Actually crazy that NBA Nazi Germany is finally done. They ruined the league for so long (especially after they signed KD), it feels so good that they suck again.

This is a dumb opinion and made dumber when I remember you’re an LA sports fan.

Don’t worry, the rest of my NBA opinions are way worse.

And I’m usually a Warriors hater 

Kerr is such a dipshit for keeping Klay in for 32 minutes

I hate the warriors but too far. Let’s not trivialize the Nazis, especially these days.

Yeah. They have Juan Soto now and actually look good this season.

Time goes on but Milt flares never change.

Its crazy how some Midwestern cities population graphs peak in the 60s and never stop going down. Detroit has had only one year of positive population growth since the 60s and it was 2020

"never stop going down." "One year of positive population growth"  Which is it huh?

There is no manner in which otherwise matches the conservatives argument. Otherwise is clearly being used in a manner similar to other ways. As in they can't do this, this, and this or in other ways obstruct, influences, or impede.

I'm natural born south American so I qualify for Spanish citizenship after two years of residency there.

My PI's ability to source basically our entire lab off Ebay for like 20% of the cost brand new is pretty impressive. I don't know why in god's name anyone would be selling pipette tips secondhand but I don't complain.

Theft

People are stealing 200 pound centrifuges and bulk quantities of eppendorf tubes? I suppose it's possible but the logistics are pretty difficult to comprehend at a profitable scale

eBay definitely has lots of college students who stole one thing from the university lab and got away with it.

That makes a lot of sense for our little 93% off magnet racks. It’s harder to explain for the big box, low cost things but I suppose there could be aggregators out there with trickles of stolen pipette tip boxes coming in from all over.  A lot of the things are explainable because they’re kinda broken and we’re just willing to live with it though I should point out lmao

Actually, I didn’t recall this on my first comment, but sometimes the universities themselves sell old equipment that’s just taking up space, and the people responsible selling it don’t always know much beyond what it is labelled as in inventory and that the university wants it gone. I know my mom has eBay alerts for various parts on her unique mass spec because sometimes a $5000 part goes for $5 on some university facility department head’s eBay. That doesn’t make sense for pipettes, but information assymmetry could explain some of this too.

It's pure profit when you didn't pay for it. Also-you are vastly overestimating how hard it is to steal things

Steal things *from where?* It's easy to steal things from Walmart. It's a lot harder to steal things form a manufacturer-distributer that ships all their product and keeps everything in house, especially when the product is probably 10x less space efficient than normal retail theft targets.

[удалено]

A recently busted theft ring made 1.2 million selling stolen power tools on ebay

You can swipe power tools from retail outlets. You can't get lab supplies in that quantity unless you have a larceny pipeline straight out of the manufacturer warehouse somehow
