It is ironic, but if this was the case we would probably just see the Republican party shift to be more moderate and collect more votes. Not a bad thing IMO. Cultivating extremism is bad for democracy.

Lol. How soon he'll sell it is directly proportional to how many suckers people he can convince he's going to keep it (and who thereby prop up the stock price for him).

According to this: https://www.wkrg.com/alabama-news/lakeith-smith-resentencing-alabama/
The time was for two charges, theft/burglary and felony murder. The resentencing set the prison term to 30 years, effectively setting the sentence for felony murder alone at 5 years.

Also he tricked the ents into walking past Isengard so that they'd see how many trees Saruman whacked and take an ax to him instead.

Interesting. This kind of bill is for costs incurred as a result of the rally rather than for directly using the facilities, e.g. paying for an increased police presence to control protestors. Seems like candidates are not really obligated to pay for this.

This article claims they pay a higher effective tax rate, not more in taxes. A citizen working the same position would pay even more in taxes since they would also have to pay income tax.
Maybe the headline should be that sales + other flat taxes are becoming an increasing burden for low income workers. This is the problem for the illegal immigrants in the study, and even more of a problem for citizens who earn the same amount.

Sad about this one tbh. Didn't really seem op in my pubs but maybe it was too good in the pro scene.

*You can only teleport out to where you teleported in from.
Does this mean you get dropped into outer space if you stay inside for more than checks notes ~4 minutes?

Have you checked if your college has a tutoring center? Usually they offer free tutoring for the first several physics courses.
It takes a lot of time but it works REALLY well. You can do your homework there and they'll tell you if you make a mistake.
There are probably only a couple of concepts you need help with. Have them walk you through 3 of the harder homework problems at the end of a unit and you'll be amazed at how far that gets you.
If you don't have access to tutoring (literally the best way to learn), go to your prof's office hours. Read the problems and ask about what you're struggling with.

Is it feasible? Sure. The limit on this kind of calculation is basically how much detail do we need to add to the environment (i.e., can we make the model) and how high resolution does the sound wave need to be (can we calculate it given finite compute resources).
To get something that roughly sounds like a rock? Not difficult to model or calculate, if we make some reasonable assumptions.
The sound of a wet towel thrown in the water during a hailstorm? Uhhh that's a tough one.
Simulating sound uses classical mechanics governed by the wave equation, which is well-understood. In terms of CPU power, the calculation to propagate a simple sound wave (wavelet) could probably have been done on a TI-89 calculator from high school.

The idea is checking out with more than a basket of goods is really inconvenient. And I agree, it's much slower and there's no space for it.

The more we know about this, the better. Depressing as it may be, learning about these means eventually we may be able to revive them.

It all depends on what you mean by affect. Two em waves in the same space will have a different overall amplitude at any frequency.
If you mean as in the overall color of light, that will change based on how much/what frequency waves are combined. Think about adding a bit of black sand to a jar of white sand -- from a distance it will appear grey but the actual colors of individual grains of sand (frequency of "individual" em waves) won't change.
For wifi, data transmission is via phase modulation of the em wave, so the signal is resilient against adding different frequencies/amplitudes but may suffer if the same frequency is transmitted at a different phase.
