You’re telling me a bunch of old school democrats voted to end debate without any concessions and NONE of them are up for re-election in their state? Huh.

Should’ve posted yesterday! In a paper titled “Searching Within Galaxies for the Earliest Signs of Quenching With Spatially Resolved Star Formation Histories in UVCANDELS” we divided star-forming galaxies into bits to see how star formation changed depending on location over the last billion years.

Update:
Updated my firmware per suggestions, and things seem more stable!
However, my USB devices are acting a bit wacky. Reinstalling drivers seems to have fixed some issues.
That being said, I'm probably one more dead-end issue away from just switching to Linux and living happy.

Gonna need the cosmic radiation to stop targeting my pc.
Can’t figure out if this BSOD problem I’ve been having is due to software or hardware.
All signs point to hardware since the problem persisted through windows installs.
The thing is, linux and a diag OS have absolutely no issue.

The only reason he could possibly want to give med advice is because his buddies financially gain.
Separate shots = higher production demand.
Combined shots reduce injury to children and cost burden on parents.
But don’t listen to me, or unqualified presidents. Listen to your qualified doctors.

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.
And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.
No more.

If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court.
I do not say this lightly.
