I'm now ready for 5th-grade maths! LOL.

That's what I initially thought of. But then I thought... how would I actually go about accurately shading the perimeter of the inner square? Which led me to think about, perhaps folding the larger square in half or perhaps along the diagonals to assist in shading... Hmm... Which then led me...

I posted very negatively about Doku in the past - only to see him turn in a man-of-the-match performance his very next game. So here's the thing... === Doku can change games, certainly. But will he ever develop to the point where, once he beats his defender, he can be relied upon to make a...

@Uncle Wally One Ball In a typical US jury trial, all jurors must vote "guilty" for a conviction. Similarly, all jurors must vote "not guilty" for an acquittal. Courts do their best to reach unanimous agreement - for obvious reasons. If unanimity isn't reached, the court typically declares a...

>> bias is incredibly hard to prove I completely disagree. It's trivially easy. Look at the adjectives used when an outlet in question reports stories. Bias is obvious. Moreover, look at what stories are featured, or are even covered. Compare this to other outlets. Another clear-cut...

Bernie Madoff's Trust = Ponzi scheme. Actual financials misrepresented. Current investors paid by "borrowing" from later investors, creating the illusion of profitability. None of which was true. Gamestop stock = not a Ponzi scheme. Actual financials plain to see. Stock price went way up...

From the Internet... What Is a Ponzi Scheme? A Ponzi scheme is an investment scam that pays early investors with money taken from later investors to create an illusion of big profits. Trump's Truth Social IPO doesn't strike me as "Ponzi" in nature - it's a terrible investment for sure, but the...

We'll see - I have faith in the jury. I think it's going to be down to how well Cohen and Pecker (LOL - that's the guy's actual name!!!) hold up under cross and how well the Prosecution counters. And then there's this... Although, in an ideal world, each juror should simply consider the facts...

Cute problem. Took me about 5 min to solve.

I never realized how many great songs Jeff Lynne - of Electric Light Orchestra fame - penned. An amazing talent.

Is this a parody thread, LOL?

Just so. Let's just hope the fucker is convicted. An acquittal - though it seems unlikely - would probably boost Trump's numbers.

I do think that MAGA is losing its grip. It would have been unthinkable 2 months hence for the Speaker to go against Trump and advance a bill in support of aid for Ukraine.

It's about time the US passed the aid package for Ukraine! Out of curiosity - to gauge how Republicans feel about this - I read comments on an article about the aid package on Fox News. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/senate-approves-95b-aid-ukraine-israel-biden Even on Fox News, where you'd...

Screw that! Call Saul.
