   Nate may not be a perfect student but if he does like a teacher he definitely can show it in some cute ways.

   What do you mean “before he was a teenager”? We’ve seen his baby photos. You and Roger referred to the day he switched to solid foods as “The night of a thousand jars” and were happy he wasn’t breastfeeding 24 hours a day anymore.

   Crap, 1.45×10^27.

   Each pie would have a volume of 1809.56cm^3 (assuming it’s a perfect cylinder) meaning the total mass of each pie is 2080.994 grams. We’ll make it 2.08kg for simplicity and round to hundredths.

   Jupiter’s mass is 1.89×10^27kg, so in total it would take 9.09×10^26 pies.

   And as for the whipped cream, if we assume 200ml (.2 Liters) of whipped cream per 1/8th of a pie, 1.45×10^28 liters.

   There are limits on first amendment reach and one could argue that if it prevents a government leader from actually doing their job then reducing the campaign season is well within bounds of the law. Especially given the excessive campaigning hinders their ability to do their job, which one could argue is damaging other people’s rights in the process.

   I do agree though, we should abolish political parties as a whole. The number of people I’ve seen that don’t know anything about a politician’s policies but vote for them because of the R or D in front of their name is absurd.

   Most countries have laws that you can’t campaign for office until a few months before an election. In some places like Japan, 17 days.

   The US makes it near endless because we have an election industrial complex. Constant fundraising, constant money being spent on ads on TV, constant ads presented during debates that last over a year. It leads to election fatigue and causes our government to spend far more time campaigning than doing their jobs. We could make it law that campaign season can be about 3 months long (statistically a reasonable amount of time because it lets you view the economy, laws, new candidates, etc) but we won’t because lawmakers also get lobbied and paid to keep the election industrial complex going.

   We’re a failed state.

   Never could choose. I’ve had both, I love both. Cats are easier to raise from a young age, no doubt but dogs can come with you more places far easier.

    I know Artur bears no ill will towards Nate, or anybody it seems, but it is nice to see him lose once in a while.
