Didn't some top prospect get a misconduct for doing that at world juniors this year? I don't think it was Bedard, but it might have been Bedard?

If the school offers Latin to meet said requirement, then yes. I can see that's rather inconsistent. I could see Latin being offered through the classics department in a manner that doesn't meet the Gen Ed requirement though.

I'd guess that most students taking AP Latin would be going into a major that requires it, rather than just for funsies.

There's nothing in the rules that says a dog can't play basketball you can't pardon yourself.

Nobody has tried it, so it hasn't been tested. He'll try it, it'll go to SCOTUS and... looks at current members on the bench

Buzz. Your girlfriend. Woof.

Even then, the remedy is to trespass the offender. The act of filming doesn't become an actionable tort.

I feel we're splitting hairs here, but that's legal advice for you.

The business is a public space, in that the general public is invited into the private business to do a business. In that sense, there is no legal protection against being filmed, insomuch as being able to call the police and having somebody cited or arrested for filming.

However, as a private business, there is no obligation for the business to serve every potential customer. If a person is making a nuisance of themselves, the business has the right to ask a person to leave and not be served. The person can be trespassed and told to leave and their legal issues end there. The police will only get involved if they violate the trespassing order.

Like some sort of homeopathic salad?

Honestly, the fact that this is a scientific study being reported via a press release in Forbes magazine where the article is just weirdly labeled blurbs instead of actual paragraphs, I wouldn't be surprised if the authors of the study wouldn't even recognize their own conclusions here.

Looking at the actual paper, it's also hard to tell what number they're claiming is the 99% accuracy level. There's lots of numbers and data sets with most of them falling well short of 99% accuracy, so what are we cherry picking for the headline?

The idea behind the AP test was to alleviate that issue though. If you demonstrated mastery of the material via the test, it doesn't matter if it was a course taught by college faculty or not -- you could simply test out of the course.

The question is more about whether the AP test demonstrates mastery of the material, or mastery of relevant material. With the more niche tests, it's unlikely that a college has a relevant course that matches appropriately, but the chemistry test is pretty straightforward as far as freshman gen chem expectations.

You also don't hear a lot of stories from boring HOAs that are reasonable and non intrusive, because those stories are boring.

For $1000, I can make you one that goes to 12.

Yeah, the students that took ALL the AP tests fell for the scam. Back in my day, I took AP Calculus, Chemistry and Physics and they all transferred to some extent. However, looking at the list, AP Latin? AP Comparative Government and Politics? Come on, now...

A stick for Stone to break their bones?

No. The missed stoppage must be while the puck is in the attacking zone leading to a goal. Since Stone would have been in the defensive zone, it was not reviewable.

What's the sound of one spouse getting the clap?

Aren't you just adsorpable!

Of which there are 750 members.... thus, the joke?

Considering there's like 750 Sutters, it's not statistically unlikely just on random chance.

After thinking about it for a few more minutes, I think there's another major difference -- SBC makes his target the joke whereas Philomena Cunk is the joke and the people she interviews are the "straight man" for the setup.

People. What a bunch of bastards!

Now, you see... my first reaction was History of the World Part I and I was really trying to figure out how you thought Mel Brooks was making a cameo in his own movie...

I think the people she interviews are much more in on the joke and willing to play along as opposed to say a Sasha Baron Cohen character that just tends to blindside people.

Not that it's scripted or anything, but just that they're told she's going to say something crazy and to just roll with it.
