There really are few good math instructors out there. They tend to be those who have intuitions about the subject who can’t interact with people who weren’t born with them.

You’re allowed to be president two times, this is a constitutional amendment. But for it to count as one time, you have to be president for some fraction longer than 50% of a four year term, i.e. 2 years plus 1 day. So if Biden can survive that long then die, Kamala would be president but it wouldn’t count as a term. She could then run for office twice more.

There are likely less than 10 people in the entire system who run these things. That’s fine for doing mass deployments but not adequate to build a system from scratch.

Decades and decades of lost data. You have to get all that catalog information going again. Then you have to get checkout records back. It’s a big deal.

This has been my thought for a long time. You’re basically setting the stage for President Harris. If Biden survive 2 years and 1 day, we can get 10 years of Kamala.

Getting really sick of the media focusing only on what Biden did wrong rather than what Trump did wrong.

Ultimately you’re voting for the nominee from a particular party rather than the individual as a person. If one were elected and died before inauguration the party will be able to put someone else in via the electoral college and the same electors. If after Congress counts the votes, then the VP becomes president.

Don’t ask don’t tell was a presidential act.

If all unions were equal, then sure. But many are corrupted or are run by corrupt people.

I’ll admit that I’d never considered your situation before and feel that I have learned quite a lot very suddenly. Thank you.

The tarantula certainly died from the fall. They are actually fragile bags of goo. People who keep tarantulas go to extreme measures to avoid them jumping or falling off of surfaces when feeding or doing maintenance.

This was me when I was younger. Now I can’t drink after 12. I think aging plays a role.
