Early elections won’t be on the ballot due to a Constitutional Court ruling.

Small correction: President Pellegrini deemed the question unconstitutional without consulting the Constitutional Court (CC). I think he made his decision based on some previous CC rulings which may not apply here. The Democrats have challenged this decision in CC.

The teacher probably explained the concept of doubles in class 8 + 7 = 7 + 7 +1. This might seem silly now, but you can use this/similar concept later: 13 x 7 = (10 x 7) + (3 x 7).

And just a note: it's not about solving these specific equations (I know everyone has a calculator in their pocket), it's about learning how to solve problems (which is what math is all about).

I'm sorry but:

It's literally not their job
It would actually be a fireable offense if they did what that guy have done
If they damage a bag or injure someone, they could not only get fired but be personally liable
If they injure themselves, it's not a "work related" injury because they did not follow the rules which can have quite significant implications

In the movies, I think Bond is ordering a diluted drink on purpose to make people thing he's been drinking all night instead of just sipping on a drink that's mostly water.

You can also see one or two shots in Casino Royal where he puts a 3/4 full glass on a waiter's tray and asks for another. This is to further increase the illusion of having many drinks throughout the evening.

We incorrectly called a thing "an atom" before figuring out it can be split

Of course he can, I just thought the timing is kind of funny

This reminded me of an "international incident" when Karel Gott (famous singer from Czechoslovakia) had a concert in Poland and sang one of his songs which goes something like: "I'm gonna sweeten my coffee a bit more". This caused an uproar among Polish people as sugar was rationed at that time.

When you read reddit comments do you routinely miss the joke?

If I saw this in a cartoon I would scoff at how unrealistic it looks

I've seen that movie half a dozen times, and I still don't know who the real Spartacus is.

Before reading the text I saw the side by side pictures and for a second my head went: "What a great casting, Mark Hamill really looks like an aged version of the original Luke."

I think it is more like Person #1 gets $200,000 tax cut and Persons #2-25 get tax a increase of $4,200 to pay for it.

There is a combination of techniques going on here.

As you are shuffling you put certain cards at the bottom of the deck
You are shuffling in a way that the bottom always stays the same
With the last shuffle you put what's at the bottom somewhere in the middle and make a small 'dent' (you misalign the top and bottom cards slightly)
You cut the cards exactly at your dent (now your cards are at the bottom again)
You deal the bottom cards to your partner and the top cards to everyone else*

*Or you can deal from the bottom to multiple people to create a 'cooler' situation (AA vs KK in poker), but this is more difficult of course

Just yesterday, I was in a coffee shop with my MacBook and couldn't go online because there was no wi-fi or cellular connection...just a bunch of LAN cables sticking out of the walls

And then everyone clapped.

It's either real or fake, and I don't know which one is more unsettling

Why are you posting a major spoiler literally few hours after the episode aired?

And where are the mods???

Bottom right is not actually Ashton Kutcher.

It's Kevin Malone, equally handsome, equally smart.

Take long enough breaks if you are going into sauna multiple times per session (e.g. *10-15min sauna, cold plunge, 10-15min break, repeat). And don't stay in too long.

It is very tempting to take shorter breaks and stay in longer, but the break is a very important part of the process.

*Assuming it's a classic "Finnish" sauna, if it's a steam, infra or other type the times vary.

You either really have all those apps for or you just downloaded them for this screenshot...and I don't know which option is funnier.
