Nah cut here to open is worse. It's always an inch above where you actually need to cut.

Yeah I was talking about this one particular journalist.

I've always heard the figure being 12 million total. I actually saw an older piece of material recently that mentioned the total as being 11 million.i agree that saying Jews were a majority is incorrect and misleading but I don't think it's intentional misinformation. It was the largest individual group.

Sometimes I read highly pivoted comments with info that is plain wrong and think I'm taking crazy pills.

This whole thread is very pedantic but in chemistry when someone refers to chlorine, they are usually referring to Cl2. I think in IUPAC naming chloride is reserved for for ions. Like dichloromethane (IUPAC) and methylene chloride (also common name).

Yes it is the money but more so the effect. They will give so much money to your opponent that you can't win. We need campaign finance reform in order to get anything done. Big money holds this country hostage.

I think it makes more sense to tax the shares at the time they are received (as income). Then they can be taxed again at the time of sale if they have increased in value.

It's missing the US Mk 1. From the wiki:

In 1917, the Mk 1 grenade was created.

However, it became apparent that the Mk 1 grenade was quite difficult to use in the field. The grenades were often not ignited properly before being thrown, and enemies would return the grenade, this time properly lit.

Interesting. I guess it's different strokes for different folks. I'm not a fan of the bump on the naked phone but I also have a Spigen case and actually appreciate the bump.

The Pixel 8 is a little big in my hands so with a secure grip, to me being fingers on one edge pressing the phone into my palm, I can't reach the full screen. It's also uncomfortable to hold it that way for long periods. So often I have the phone with my fingers on the back and my pointer touches the bump, keeping it from sliding, even at steep angles. I don't find the corners harsh but maybe they have worn down somewhat so they are no longer as sharp?

He is term limited. He can't run again.
