Boeing pays less than the cost of 2 airplanes for being responsible for the crash of 2 airplanes.

My guess:

note - a banknote or promissory note

box - like ‘big box store,’ translating to a physical business location

The way we thought of it, while frozen it’d be the same amount of dry. It’s called dry ice because it’s dry after it melts.

I’ve had the ‘can you make water more wet?’ conversation before. The answer we arrived at varies based on the definition of wet so we had to define wet first.

We concluded that wetness is usually judged by how liquid something is or how much liquid it has with it. Our liquidity was based on viscosity so it’s possible to make a liquid more wet by decreasing viscosity. Viscosity can be altered by adding a different viscosity liquid to it. There are things less viscous than water so in adding them you can make water more wet. Viscosity can also be changed by changing the temperature. As temperature increases viscosity decreases until water becomes a gas and dissipates into the air. We got a bit stuck here since at this point we no longer considered the water to be wet but did think that the air was wet. There was wetness, but since the mix was more air than water the water’s wetness was decreasing. We concluded there was some nebulous level of humidity that would be considered wet, but it would be wet air rather than dry water.

Then we looked at it the other way. At low temperatures the viscosity of water increases until it eventually crystalizes into a solid. As long as it stayed frozen it had none of the properties we considered wet. Completely frozen water could be considered dry.

She’s too clean. There’s no dirt anywhere. The armor looks amazing but there’s only light wearing around the joints. Parts are shiny and the cloak still has perfect seams. It doesn’t look used.

Rub some dirt around; scuff up those perfect surfaces; pull some threads from that cloak.

We’ve taken all of the water out of the ground, where did everyone think it went?

There’s a phrase that used to be used to defend gun rights, ‘If you outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns.’

If you make porn illegal only illegal porn will exist. They’re not eliminating porn they’re just shifting the source of porn to websites that don’t care about compliance with US laws.

the ruling, https://www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub/23/23-50224-CV0.pdf, doesn’t list all the initially banned books, but has this:

Loosely grouped, those books are:

• Seven “butt and fart” books, with titles like I Broke My Butt! and Larry
the Farting Leprechaun;

• Four young adult books touching on sexuality and homosexuality,
such as Gabi, a Girl in Pieces;

• Being Jazz: My Life as a (Transgender) Teen and Freakboy, both
centering on gender identity and dysphoria;

• Caste and They Called Themselves the K.K.K., two books about the
history of racism in the United States;

• Well-known picture book, In the Night Kitchen by Maurice Sendak,
which contains cartoon drawings of a naked child; and

• It’s Perfectly Normal: Changing Bodies, Growing Up, Sex and Sexual Health.

The books to be returned are:

a. Caste: The Origins of Our Discontent by Isabel Wilkerson;
b. Called Themselves the K.K.K: The Birth of an American Terrorist
Group by Susan Campbell Bartoletti;
c. Spinning by Tillie Walden;
d. Being Jazz: My Life as a (Transgender) Teen by Jazz Jennings;
e. Shine by Lauren Myracle;
f. Under the Moon: A Catwoman Tale by Lauren Myracle;
g. Gabi, a Girl in Pieces by Isabel Quintero; and
h. Freakboy by Kristin Elizabeth Clark.

And don’t forget the peanuts.
