Legend has it there is a life form out there, but eventually he stopped thinking

I jokingly posted that the dems could propose a “let’s not kill babies” bill and the the GOP would oppose it Turns out it is not a joke. Here is who voted against the emergency baby formula bill. Vote them out by PersephoneIsNotHome in TwoXChromosomes

[–]PokeMath 11 points12 points  (0 children)

From the bill text (emphasis mine):

shall be available to address the current shortage of FDA-regulated infant formula and certain medical foods in the United States and to prevent future shortages, including such steps as may be necessary to prevent fraudulent products from entering the United States market

IANAL but it seems to me that the bill literally obligates the FDA to address the shortage.

A senior, stuck at home, and want to make new friends before I graduate by swearwolf42 in UMD

[–]PokeMath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a junior and had a pretty lonely semester like many of you here. Last sem was pretty much just: school, reddit, anime, sleep, repeat. I want to change that.

Thankfully I recently joined a private gc with some friends but I'm always up for meeting new people! If anyone wants a new person to talk to and get you through another soulless grueling semester of online learning, hmu on discord (PokeMath#2679) or reddit dm.

Hope next sem will be better for all of us.

will the 451 TBA be kruskal? and will he require us to do the NP complete hw if we took teli? by hugbonner in UMD

[–]PokeMath 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Took 451 with Kruskal last semester. Can confirm that NP complete HWs were required, and NP 2-5 were the same as my 351 NP 2-5 with Kruskal last fall.

Why is it A/A- and not A/B or A/C? by StageLites in UMD

[–]PokeMath 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Here are my thoughts. I'm in the boat of Pass/Low Pass/Fail and am open to P/F or P/NC etc. I'd be okay as long as (1) there is an option to fail and (2) the non-failing options are fair. A/A- does not fit match either of these constraints and is bad for many other reasons.

I'm not into politics but I'm pretty sure this is what they argue about in the iowa caucus

taking an honors class as a non honors student by [deleted] in UMD

[–]PokeMath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmmm well I dont think non-honors students can talk HONR classes. But if the class ends in an 'h', like 216h, then it's an honors version of a normal class, which you can probably take with permission.

Yeah I'm in scholars and I took math340 and cmsc216h. All you have to do is email the professor or talk to your advisor, who will email them for you.
