What Gromnir is referring to is what Trump talked about when he was Candidate Trump not his executive orders as President Trump. This is what was posted to his website, as a candidate - Emphasis mine. This text was later removed, but Trump stood by it IIRC during the trials for the Executive Orders he issued that were a series of bans of people from majority Muslim countries (and it took three tries to get a version that the Supreme Court didn't knock down; as I recall the third one went through due to a provision added that would allow people to go around the ban, or be waived of its effects).

IIRC canned meats can still be good up to 5 years, but I think typically 2-3. Someone with a bunker might be more sure of their answer.

Data has shown for some time that even with grade inflation, HS GPA is a better indicator of Freshman success than SAT or ACT. The value, therefore, of SAT and ACT have been going down with many schools adopting multiple measures where SAT/ACT are only one part of the equation. That there continues to be socio-economic differences in test scores has been a known problem for some time. In many ways, this is an issue that has been many years coming. SAT and ACT have revised their tests over the last few years (and continue to work on an electronic revision); I think they've recognized a need to adapt. Not really sure. I could guess that it might be down to mostly logistical issues. If the accommodations are for the same day testing, the students are usually going to get a separate room. Most SAT/ACT testing doesn't change year-to-year, there is a pool of proctors and a set of rooms that are usually used. COVID requirements from The College Board and ACT are going to lead to needing more rooms, which is going to lead to more proctors being needed. Existing proctors are skittish to come on campus under the existing guidelines (I know a number of proctors not happy that College Board and ACT are not mandating masks). I imagine a lot of the places that offer SAT/ACT are looking at the separate rooms for accommodated students and thinking if they can use those rooms/proctors for the regular population, then they're going to be able to test more of their traditional population, but if they do that they don't have rooms/proctors to use for the accommodated testing. And that's without the struggle to find enough space and people to meet the requirements to test even without any other consideration since again there usually isn't much change year-to-year in space or staff. On the extreme edge of accommodations are students who end up taking the test over multiple days which can be a challenge (and always has been - students will call around to every place that offers it to find someone willing to proctor it, with many unable to). I don't think COVID impacts this much - it was always a struggle for students taking the exam in this case. I suppose that institutions that are limiting in person contact may be less able to offer 2-3 days to test a student face-to-face. But that's a guess.

RIP to Ruby (of Ruby-Spears fame, and many Hanna-Barbera productions) and "Bullet" Bob.

Volourn makes it look so easy...

"They killed the Giggler, man. They had no business doing that." Bronson did get a lot of money for DW3, but it was a bigger deal for Cannon (who were making a lot of money on cheap action films and they pretty much made a franchise out of 80's Bronson) and director Michael Winner, whose films The Wicked Lady and Scream for Help were bombs and he needed an easy money maker.

"S" for Surprise?

Can someone provide a link? All I can find are stories of people being pulled from their car and beaten (but not to death) after they ran their cars into protesters or other people (some intentionally and some not). Nice. With ones own car, one hopes.

Is he beating you up after pulling you from a car, or is he running you over with his car?

WW New trailer Also, snyder cut trailer

Its pretty good. I always liked The Art of Noise's cover:

preserved puppy's last meal included wooly rhino proving nothing was learned from Jurassic Park, scientists mix genetic manipulation and mosquitoes and plans to release in the wild. Will life find a way?

I'd actually be curious to see the links, particularly of universities, where students have been asked to leave for reading a religious text to themselves. There's a lot of (IMO) stupidity around religion in the US - kicking someone out solely for having a Bible/Quran/Tankah/Tipitaka/The Guru Granth Sahib/etc. on school grounds is just as stupid as trying the umpteenth time to get the 10 commandments displayed at the local courthouse. RE: In God We Trust - its the official motto of the US, is on the currency and in the national anthem (4th verse). Supreme Court in 1952 decided that the the government's recognition of God didn't violate the separation of Church and state. My thinking is that the decision was based on the idea that the recognition of the existence of a deity doesn't create a state sponsored or funded religion. Hopefully Gromnir will correct if I got the details wrong.
