I’m out of the loop on them so tried to look it up; did they back the genocide of the Palestinians or are you referring to their anti-trans bigotry?

I legit thought that was the title.

B.S.

Dijkstra would have loved the lookup table solution.

He HATED complexity.

Both can be true.

Saying “for many people it’s an outdated concept” is absolutely true.

I don’t go to theaters anymore and quite possibly never will again.

That doesn’t mean no one goes anymore.

For that matter, making over 1 billion dollars doesn’t even require most people to go.

With tickets (in the US) costing around $20, if only 10% of people went to see a movie then it would make 700 million in just the U.S.

He delayed using various tactics, but ultimately his estate did pay.

The text immediately before that spells out what appointments the president can make:

he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

In context it’s clear that the vacancies being referred to are the vacancies of the positions the president has appointment power over, and that explicitly excludes senators since their method of appointment is already provided for by the Constitution.

OK, thanks for explaining, now I understand where you got things confused.

That’s not granting the president authority to appoint Senators. It’s granting the authority to (temporarily) appoint executive officers without needing Senate approval.

Things like Secretary of State, Attorney General, etc.

NOT Senators, though. The process to replace them is explicitly defined by the 17th amendment and is entirely up to the respective state.

Constitution itself gives President ability to replace absent senators

What are you referring to? Governors replaced absent senators prior to the 17th amendment, after which it’s either the governor or a special election depending on the laws of that state.

10-15 years is way too frequent to be performing kitchen remodels.

I hope they find The Cure for whatever is afflicting him soon.

If statisticians are mathematicians then so are physicists and engineers.

Using math is different from being a mathematician. Mathematicians discover new mathematical principles, not just make use of existing ones.

I’m not seeing anything in the Wikipedia article to back up the number of 42 years. Am I missing something?

I don’t think it’s ever been tested*, but arguably no, the president can’t pardon war crimes.

They can only pardon “offenses against the United States”.

A war crime isn’t just an offense against the United States but also a violation of international law.

So, a future administration could try to go after these people for the international law violations.

As others have noted, the chances of that actually happening are nil.

*Trump has pardoned war crimes, but no one has yet tried going after the war criminals for the international law violations they committed.

That top line is going to drop and then flatten out once your back goes.

I assumed that was the padded case that a lot of harps come with.

I was more concerned about things like the neck getting cracked as I doubt he took care to transport it carefully, but extremely dry air can also cause the wood to crack.

The minimum price for that type of harp is over $10,000, but that would be for a much smaller one.

That picture looks like it’s a concert grand harp, and even used it’s hard to find one for less than $15,000.

On top of that, they’re both delicate and sensitive to temperature and humidity. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he destroyed the harp by doing that.

EDIT: Based on the shape of the pillar, I’m guessing that is a Lyon & Healy Style 30, which retails for $30,700

The best part of this is that’s taken word-for-word from the original book.

As a kid I just assumed that was a Muppets joke but in actuality the only thing they added was the “Yay!” at the end.

It was a lot better than I expected it to be… but to be fair, that wasn’t a very high bar to clear.
