Because each state is given the power to elect a president, not the voters. Puerto Rico isn’t a state so their voters aren’t represented properly.

I love the timing on all of this.

On US nutritional labels fats, carbs, and proteins are listed in grams, but we generally measure everything in pounds.

When calculating your macro nutrition for weight gain the general recommendation comes out to about 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. This is just a coincidence, but makes finding out how much protein you need to gain muscle mass pretty easy if you know how much you weigh and given that all of our labels have that info in grams.

They might be referencing the rough math for daily protein consumption. It works out to about 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight for men and half a gram per pound for women.

Or they could be a bat

hoho

I had just figured out how to fix a bug that broke our in house reminder system. My smug ass put hoho as the commit message for figuring something out that the previous guy couldn't. Of course it came back to bite me in the ass THIS WEEK when the system broke again in a similar fashion, but I couldn't remember what I had done.

Originally they were trying to conserve the monarchy as democracy swept through Europe. Here's a video that goes into more detail.

In modern times conservatives courted racists in the US with something called the southern strategy. This has lead all of them down the path to fascism.

Felt the same way about it. The plot device of the character potentially becoming Keanu really broke all motivation for me. Why would I complete the main plot if each mission made the infestation worse? I made this character, why would I be interested in watching them become someone else's Gary Stue? I wanted to be my Gary, not theirs.

The story would have been much improved by dropping Johnny ~~Mnemonic~~ Silverhands and instead having the partner, whose name escapes me because I only got to know him through 2 missions and a 30 second montage of us getting to know each other, as the ride along personality. Instead of him taking you over, he's fading away and you have to save him.

Throw in a heroic sacrifice from your semi AI partner at the end or a plot twist him into a villain Tyler Durdening your ass while you sleep and it could have been something magical.

Will no one rid me of this troublesome priest?

I think he meant 3*4*5=60 billion dollars. 3 months times 4 weeks times 5 billion a week.

Edit, same thing happened to me. The asterisk is a markdown character for italics. You'll notice that his 4 is italicized.
