Which lead me to a politico article quoting one Rudy Giuliani. Regarding the current right-wing talking point that "it's okay, Trump was just taking his work home," there's always a tweet. It's Rudy though, he forgets everything but the taste of shoe polish when he wakes up anymore, and his liver is currently screaming because all it takes in anymore is shoe polish since his brandy fund ran out.

I'm a little surprised A4 didn't lean into convenient numbers and go 200mm x 300mm, but 297/210 is about the square root of 2 so I guess they considered that more important.

Yeah i think it's like A1 is a square meter of paper, then A2 is A1 folded in half, A3 is A2 folded in half... on to infinity so mockups always look exactly right as full A1 poster prints or whatever. Something like that. E:  Yeah this. Its all halves of halves of halves projecthalaxy fucked around with this message at 17:38 on Aug 15, 2022 |

At a glance, it looks like most of that convergence between young women/men are a subset within Democratic voters, just moving from conservative to liberal. It would be interesting to see if there's a relationship between these self-identification trends and changes in participation in primary elections. Although I have a feeling that would also change with 2022 primary election turnouts as well.

My first job was at a European bank, and there was a constant battle between Americans and expats switching out letter and A4 paper trays, it was literally a bigger issue than the language barrier. As an IT guy, I just changed the name of one printer to include LETTER and the other one A4, just doing my part for globalism.

The completed a bachelors degree metric sort of lines up with that graph: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/11/08/whats-behind-the-growing-gap-between-men-and-women-in-college-completion/ quote:Young women are more likely to be enrolled in college today than young men, and among those ages 25 and older, women are more likely than men to have a four-year college degree. The gap in college completion is even wider among younger adults ages 25 to 34. Id wager its more of an education issue than anything.

The actual non-funny answer is because they used to write contracts on legal sized paper and they made it wider and longer to make it easier to make longer annotations or edits in the margin before word processing was common. Most contracts and legal forms are just written up in letter format in Microsoft Word nowadays, but some people still prefer legal sized paper because of tradition or for annotation purposes.

I've noticed a dramatic change to using mostly letter sized paper in the past few years ever since Georgia went to a flat filing fee vs. per page filing fees in the real estate records. Of course, they still charge 50 cents per page to make copies using their copier. Those camera scanning apps have saved me thousands of dollars.

Yeah, I've met both people that say that as a moderate it makes sense to call the ACA communist and people who say that they could stomach "a center right guy like Bernie" in charge and I don't think either really means anything.

I think it is pretty likely that anyone who is clued in enough to have hit that level of introspection probably also recognizes what the scale is trying to measure and isn't going to respond with "Moderate" or "Conservative" to indicate they have left-wing views.

If I was going to toss in a guess based on no data or information whatsoever, I might also wonder if maybe young women are more likely to be politically active than young men, since a lot of the important social issues directly impact their lives much more. If you don't know/don't care at all about politics and are being asked, most people are just going to default to saying moderate.

You still need to get your passport stamped and go through customs if you are travelling internationally. It doesn't matter what type of plane you are on.

Per this link for a private jet hiring company, it's the job and responsibility of the flight crew/jet company to check your passports and visas before takeoff just like it's Delta's or whoever at the airport desk. They have to certify at their own risk that they did so. Would Trump's jet managers lie for him? I do not know.

So in theory he could still be a flight risk, but he would have to be able to find a place to land that is both in range of his plane and also willing to piss off the US by aiding and abetting someone who just fled the US because they were being investigated for espionage? So basically, by taking his passports, the FBI made sure he couldn't run far?

FizFashizzle posted:Wonder why he was double checking on his passports. I'm wondering why he had three passports. He said one is expired. You can technically have two passports legally, but I'm not sure why Trump would. The main reason people have two is usually for weird country squabbles (like, you can get two passports if you travel to Israel and need to go to Lebanon. Lebanon will not admit people who have been to Israel, so you can get a second passport to collect the Israeli stamp), but you need special permission from the State Department to get the second passport. I can't really think of any reason Trump would need that. Even if he had some urgent business in Lebanon, I think he is probably famous enough that he isn't going to trick the customs guy into thinking he has never been to Israel or that Lebanon would deny him entry on that basis. projecthalaxy posted:Per this link for a private jet hiring company, it's the job and responsibility of the flight crew/jet company to check your passports and visas before takeoff just like it's Delta's or whoever at the airport desk.

You will still have to go through customs if you land in a private jet and they will need a passport and a search for contraband.

I mean if Trump is ready to flee the country then isn't it better if he does? The odds of justice being served by the American justice system seems so astronomically low him spending the rest of his days doing tv spots with Steven Seagal in Russia sounds a hell of a lot better of an option for america politically then what will likely happen if he just rides it out being Trump. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siFmJz7CZSM
