"All the time" and "every time" are not even close to the same thing.

So again, your link doesn't contradict what I said.

There are constant murder trials. Do you deny that fact?

Oh yes, things will be totally the same without Lena Khan being in the U.S. government. You're so, so right.

I thought I wouldn't be able to get it to them by Monday, so if it gets there at some point on Friday... they won't even send me info about it until a week from now at least. I'm trying to get my passport by the inauguration, but that may not be doable. And they now have my US passport. In theory, I can get emergency travel documents.

They keep telling me to send another document and don't tell me to send it the previous time. So fucked up. Just let me send it all at once.

I'm told this is all due to the Tories.

Thank you. I am glad you agree with me on courtesy. I hope more people do.

Now of that I have no doubt. I was just saying the idea that only rich people's murders get solved is just not true. But apparently I misunderstood what the person I was replying to was saying.

Which statement did I make that was wild? Because none of that contradicts anything I said.

I never made the claim that all or even most murders get solved.

It wouldn't have hurt if someone had explained that to me earlier rather.

But then this is the internet and courtesy is generally considered a bad thing in my experience.

Plenty of them are safe. Unfortunately, most of the safe ones are also invasive.

Hopefully such research can mostly be done via simulation these days.

I remember how common they were when I was a kid in the 1980s. How depressing. It's a harbinger, of course.

And worse, the only reason to not make that clear in the headline is for clicks.

 

By the way, that's the cost to send one piece of paper from the US to the UK. Unfortunately, I need to send it quickly and that's the quickest I can get it there with the reasonable options I have available to me.

Two supermassive black holes are locked in an orbital dance at the core of the distant galaxy OJ 287. This diagram shows their sizes relative to the solar system. The larger one, with about 18 billion times the mass of our sun (right), would encompass all the planets in the solar system with room to spare. The smaller one is about 150 million times the mass of our sun (left), which would be large enough to swallow up everything out to the asteroid belt, just inside the orbit of Jupiter.
