What a fucking fascist. He and the entire maga crowd are the only boil that needs to be lanced.

While conveniently forgetting that Rome plagiarized their laws and customs and indeed their entire culture from the Greeks...

Blood and bloody ashes!

That's interesting, I did not know wild parsnip was a separate plant. We must not have that where I'm from.

And yeah, clearly Ontario is doing something right

What did you expect from an amazon exclusive TV series? A faithful adaptation true to the original work, or some generic garbage churned out to appeal to the largest audience?

Add a fucking spoiler warning, I'm only on book 7!

Fucking damn it! Here I was thinking Taim would turn out to be Demandred. Fuck!

The graph clearly isn't including deaths of muslims.

Come to think of it, it doesn't even label who it counts under "battle deaths"...

Interesting, I've never heard that. Is that the same plant as wild carrot/Queen Anne's Lace?

I've heard people with Native American ancestry tend to have immunity to poison ivy, but I'm not sure if that's backed by science.

Also, if you got burned by wild parsnip... that was hemlock, a poisonous lookalike...

"Within the country's federal system" means, yes, the state governments are federated under one government: the federal government, which is a separate institution.

"Alongside the federal government," i.e. "exercising functions... alongside the federal government." Meaning they are separate institutions that operate parallel to each other.

The idea that state governments, or county governments, aren't aspects of the US government is pretty absurd. They aren't part of the federal system, sure, but they are part of the government of the united states.

You have that backwards. Read your own wikipedia quote again. State governments are part of the federal system, but not part of the federal government (which is the government of the United States).

USG stands for "US Government" and is an official term often used in international relations and diplomacy to refer specifically to the federal government of the United States. The "United States" as an entity refers to the federation of states, each of which has its own state government. The terms and conditions of dual sovereignty are defined in the US Constitution, and each state government is chartered by its own constitution which defines how matters of state governance run.

Yes, I'm american, and I've worked for the federal government in the past. Federal and state governments are separate organizations. Very little coordination or communication happens between them, even trying to do so would be difficult and only happens rarely, except for highly specified cases where there are typically established liaison staff (such as distributing funding from federal departments to state counterparts, or state and federal personnel cooperating on disaster relief efforts). But for the most part, they don't even work in the same buildings.

Also, this should be the most telling sign, but federal and state taxes are handled completely separately. Two separate filings for two separate taxes to two separate governments. Because federal and state governments are separate institutions with different functions albeit with overlapping jurisdictions.

Well I haven't tested this new discovery on many knives, but I'm certain I've had the same problem with many different ones over the years. At the very least, they're all beveled on at least one side...
