The neighborhood of Hampstead is just at present exercised with a series of events which seem to run on lines parallel to those of what was known to the writers of headlines and "The Kensington Horror," or "The Stabbing Woman," or "The Woman in Black." During the past two or three days several cases have occurred of young children straying from home or neglecting to return from their playing on the Heath. In all these cases the children were too young to give any properly intelligible account of themselves, but the consensus of their excuses is that they had been with a "bloofer lady." It has always been late in the evening when they have been missed, and on two occasions the children have not been found until early in the following morning. It is generally supposed in the neighborhood that, as the first child missed gave as his reason for being away that a "bloofer lady" had asked him to come for a walk, the others had picked up the phrase and used it as occasion served. This is the more natural as the favorite game of the little ones at present is luring each other away by wiles. A correspondent writes us that to see some of the tiny tots pretending to be the"bloofer lady" is supremely funny. Some of our caricaturists might, he says, take a lesson in the irony of grotesque by comparing the reality and the picture. It is only in accordance with general principles of human nature that the "bloofer lady" should be the popular role at these al fresco performances.

To be fair, from what I could parse from the comments on that reddit link, it seems possible that they are using some scoring system where the mean is zero
Nope, they're using negative scoring where wrong answers lose you marks (to discourage guessing on multiple choice questions). You get a score of 0 if you leave the exam paper blank, so yes, people from SC and ST just had to leave their exam paper blank and they'd be admitted to a PhD in mathematics...
It's totally absurd but funnily enough if you're going to have Affirmative Action I consider this a much better system than the US "holistic assessment"; at least with this method I know that to get in all I need to do is score 94+ marks and then I'm in (barring random yearly variations) rather than worry about not getting in because my parents made me go down the "he started his own charity" route three years ago which is now out of fashion with admission committees and their caprices.

Been illegal long before Trump. Funnily enough I as a non-US person can buy stuff and have it shipped to my virtual address in NH without any sales tax and then sent to me overseas but people in the US get busted by the feds if they try to do the same...

This is very illegal in the US. You would have to ship it overseas from your PO box and then import it back again relying on exemptions there, which ofc has been made non-viable due to tariffs...

It's clearly intended to communicate to the consumer that they're assuming the whole burden of the tax. This simply isn't how taxes work.
Sales tax is also not 100% burden on the consumer but it's very frequently broken out as a separate line item in the US.

By quoting the links in their entirety all you've done is ensure that when you get back to relistening to this thread now you'll be spending twice as long listening to garbage!

Cremieux really went downhill in the last 9 months or so, he used to be a top tier stats guy but then got poisoned by politics. Still decent and definitely not mindkilled but the magic touch has been lost.

If you know you want a hydrafacial it's generally recommended you shave the previous day but not necessary. Depends on whether you're happy losing your beard for the procedure. Btw, the short term glow effects wear off after a few days and after about 2 months your skin will be back to a state as if you'd never had the facial, it's a routine thing you have to repeat regularly if you want the results to maintain over time and not just a one/few shot procedure.

For stropping I use green stainless steel polishing compound. Does diamond slurry work better if you have experience with both?
Fico di Amalfi is amazing. I use the lipbalm and somehow even though the balm itself is tasteless I always get a slight hint of the taste of fresh figs on my tongue when I lick my lips from the smell my nose gets. It's also unisex so everyone can enjoy it on themselves.
Also, Dior Sauvage (or any flanker): ew.

Bondi still looks 25 facially but in this video you can see the dried out neck more clearly showing her true age.
Either it's makeup or she had a hydrafacial appointment in the last 24 hours (can personally recommend). That's the only think I know of which can make tired and aged skin look so radiant.

A lot of news anchors basically wear a latex mask that is then painted to look human
This is news to me and sounds hard to believe. Also Gemini thinks it is False, source?

If it's makeup it's the film stage set voodoo makeup which makes people look decades younger rather than ordinary makeup you do by yourself at home

360p doesn't make a 60 year old look 25.

The most shocking thing here is all the beauty filters Fox News is applying to Pam Bondi's face. The news channel should have some self respect; if they're not willing to show the truth on what Bondi actually looks like how can we trust they are telling the truth on anything else?
And yes, this judge should be charged and sentenced according to the law.
Intelligence, creativity, humour, how good they look after age 30, you name it etc. etc.
True creativity comes through working with constraints imposed like China (be it sanctions or cost pressure or whatever). Unconstrained problems are often underdetermined which means every midwit can find their own "unique" solution which then lets them pretend they are special.
The Chinese may be smart but they're uninspired robots was always finest grade copium. It turns out that in the end whites as a race are certifiably mid and they don't take the news of this very well.
EDIT: I protest this ban. I sincerely mean what I say here and don't think calling whites mid as a race is even an insult, it would only be perceived as such by someone who puts particular pride in the race they were born into by chance. Had I said blacks as a race are mid nobody would have raised even a peep (and fwiw, my opinion of whites is higher than my opinion of blacks).
I'm not joking or trolling here. Seriously considering decamping off to Twitter at this moment (would have been Bluesky because I think the algorithm there is better, but alas, like for lots of other things, the worst thing about Bsky is the people there).
Also:

Really proving the point of my statement with that ban.

With AMD's upcoming Strix Halo you'll be able to run the 70 billion parameter version of R1 on a consumer laptop. Imagine the power we'll have in our hands! It's the first time I've felt genuinely excited for a new generation of consumer hardware chips in like a decade!

No, you're thinking of Denarii. Denali were an ancient Irish dynasty.

The sort of skills you'd expect from people who are IQ 120+ on average. Lower than that and they'll be made obsolete by AI well before their expected end of working life and now you're just stuck with them and their descendants forever.
This problem is retarded. The farmer is allowed to carry 2 items which means that at any point he's leaving only at most one thing behind, which can't be eaten because there's nothing around to eat it. He can do literally anything he wants as long as he ensures that there's only one thing left on the bank he's setting off from at all time.
Like this also works:
Farmer takes wolf and goat to right bank
Farmer returns with wolf (or goat, what matters is he returns with one thing) to left bank
Farmer takes cabbage + thing he came with to right bank
Problem solved
The real problem is when the farmer is only allowed to carry one thing at a time.

(currently still Denali... for now)
They seem to have a rather amazing capacity for Denali...
Thinking of the lower classes as subhuman is the wrong way of going about it. Those people are just as human as you or I. Instead your opinion of "human" is what needs to be brought down a few notches.
And anyways, things aren't as bad as you are making them out to be. Just like how we were able to domesticate the savage wolf and turn in it into the docile dog these people (or more accurately, their descendants) are also salvageable in large part, the upper classes just have to put in the requisite work.
