I think Darth Bortles is the most likely answer and that the real twist is that he is just the apprentice/trying to convert OSHA NOT MAE. That’s my expectation of the finale. Qimir asking Osha to join him to defeat Mr Older Wiser Sith Master.

The implication is clear. The art of the deal?

As others pointed out, a lot of factors would go into this decision. How many working hours can she normally put in if the average client only pays for an hour? How much time does she have to spend cleaning herself up between? How much risk is there in taking a new client?

Its pretty similar to working freelance compared to a paycheck. If I wanted to go on my own as a freelancer I could probably charge 2-3x my hourly salary rate as a freelancer. But I’d have to hunt for my next meal. I’d have to figure out all my 1099s. I’d have to change stragies to get new clients… Or I can just work my current corpo job making an OK salary but always know I have a paycheck coming and insurance.

I love how it’s presented like they could have just gotten on a plane. Once a century the Olmec rolled some dice and then sent ten artisans to one other empire on the other side of the globe. No planning, supply chains, or other stops on this world tour. Just one cultural exchange about how to carve a face to this one other set of artisans. Oh, India and Egypt want to learn how to carve faces like the Olmec? Too bad. They are only stopping once on this flight of fancy.

He’s about to turn the frown upside down

My friend was upset about this making it to SCOTUS a few weeks ago. How can the courts suspend your 2nd amendment rights before a trial?

Well what is a gag order? What is contempt of court? It turns out when you are credibly accused and/or indicted for certain crimes courts ARE allowed to constrain your constitutional rights, when their is good reason, while the court proceedings go along.

This would be as stupid as letting the dealer keep his bricks of heroine until which time a lab can check and double check that it’s indeed heroin.

Fucking bonkers that someone on trial for a shooting/death threats would be able to KEEP THEIR GUNS.

Thomas is clearly insane.

I think the direct implication is that the bullets are padded with foam. Softened.

If SCOTUS declares that president’s have infinite immunity today, it will be really funny to bully my grandpa that Biden is going to murder Trump and get away with it 🤭

Nvidia makes a real product. An AI bubble might hurt them but probably not the same as the companies who have been buying their product.

Whatever the fuck podcast popularized the idea that blue just didn’t exist? Yeah stupid.

I do believe there is some relationship between one’s main language and how it affects thought patterns, but I mean cmon, even if I don’t know every word for shades of green (avocado VS chartreuse) doesn’t mean I’m not capable of distinguishing them. I may not have an exacting language tool set for distinguishing them. But I could.

Wanna see my sex pistol?

Go place a plaque that says “Mustafa Ataturk” and watch people’s heads expose that he was actually a very small cat and not a normal sized human.

treble damages

Your new rack of beer?

9/10 book and the reboot miniseries wasn’t bad.

Yes I’m implying student logic is only applicable in contexts where a teacher has laid out a test for you to intuit.

Student logic doesn’t apply when you have to come up with a new idea to an actual problem that exists in the real world.

There is value to learning student logic. It shows creativity. It shows a level of understanding of the material and how to be a teacher. But it’s not the same as learning the material.

Sure.

But if their isn’t some human author to your problem, student logic will be way less helpful than logic actually honed by learning how to learn.

Because actually learning will do both. Learning only calculated guesses will only really teach you how to deal with manufactured scenarios. I won’t really even serve you much past high school.

You would need to weigh the cost of

The IRS realizing their is un-reported or misrepresented income

Vs

The IRS reporting legally reported but otherwise suspicious income to the FBI or DEA OR whatever

Yeah I mean in some cases it’s not hard to surmise. Given the context (class, diagram) and how many numbers you have assigned, what formulas are available to you, you might be able to guess the teacher shoved the numbers into the wrong formulas to create the incorrect answers. For some classes simply supplying nearby numbers to the correct response might not be “real” enough.

Student logic is certainly a thing, but I can’t image it much help for the complexity shown in the meme. Basic geometry or math word problems as found in biology or statistics? Yeah sure
