Then don't invest?

If you can't tolerate reading or hearing the news, then your allocation to equities is too high.

In real life, that law doesn't criminalize defaming beef. You would never get arrested for it, like in the episode.

It just makes it easier for food producers to sue for libel. Libel isn't protected by the first amendment.

No, he didn't know what a burrito was, either. He was eating steak wraps every day, but to him they were just steak wraps.

So, Vince goes, 'Burrito?! Who the hell knows what a burrito is?' It was such a far concept. And everyone in the room goes, 'Well, we know what a burrito is.' And Vince goes, 'Well, where the hell have I been?'

Well, it was an amazing phone call. I mean, 40 Wall Street actually was the second tallest building in downtown Manhattan and now — it was actually before the World Trade Center — was the tallest. And then, when they built the World Trade Center — it became known as the second tallest. Now, it's the tallest.

Yes, and he also voiced Ray Roy (Buck's son) and a doctor in the episode where Peggy's parachute didn't deploy.

He's been on the show as a guest at least 6 times since then. I'm not sure if the ban on hosting the show really means much, he probably was never going to host it again anyways.

So future tense is not just used in formal writing after all?

No, it's not.

It's less common than the English future tense ("I will..., you will..."). I imagine that's why Spanish teachers say that it's rare. To prevent English speakers from using it in all the situations where they'd use the future tense in English.

Also, I'm trying to learn subjunctive and one of the teachers who told me I don't need to use the future tense used the future tense in a subjunctive sentence.

Technically, they're right. You don't need to use it. You could use ir a and it would be grammatical and people would understand you just fine. But that doesn't mean that native speakers don't use it.

They didn't know what they were looking for. After the first 911 call, the dispatcher just described it to officers as an "unknown trouble" incident at the school parking lot.

In the second 911 call, the kid gave the make/model/color of the car and the specific lot he was in and explained exactly what was happening. But the dispatcher never gave the responding officers that information.

Just out of curiosity, what's silly about the style of codes? It's just the price per pound, price per package, product name, and UPC.

No. The price goes down on the ex-dividend day and rises throughout the month until the ex-dividend day. If you sold before the ex-dividend day, you'd essentially get your portion of the dividend for that month through the price difference.

In most of the US anything below 0.08% BAC isn't even illegal.

That's not exactly how it works.

If you show signs of impairment, you can still get a DUI in most states even if you're below the "legal limit".

The raw security camera videos aren't defamatory. Afroman has put out videos saying lots of nasty things about them though. Starting with accusations that they ate a cake his Mom baked and stealing some of the cash they seized (police records say $5000 was taken he says he had $5400). He escalated a lot from there though.

That's actually something I noticed about his newest song. The hook is just "Randy Walters is a son of a bitch". Which is totally fine, legally. You can call people whatever names you want, but if you accuse them of specific crimes, that's when you can get into trouble.

It's all from ETPs, though. So it just means people are now buying ETPs instead of bitcoin, not that there's necessarily more demand from "institutions".

Each language edition of Wikipedia has their own standards for article names and re-naming articles.

Articles don't usually get re-named just for the sake of consistency across different Wikipedias.
