Yes you absolutely can. Here's an extremely trivial example: 6 is not prime, which I can prove by simply saying 6 = 2*3. Bam, I've proved a negative.

The article says that "the carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt will head to the Middle East to maintain a presence in the region".
So it looks like it could be a routine ship swap. But if that were the case, I'd expect NPR to emphasize that in the article, and they don't. They mention the other ship one time and then the rest of the article is talking about how the Houthis are doing lots of attacks.
I'm just confused about this article from a propaganda perspective, I guess. Is it trying to say "the Ike has done good work, it's time for it to come home and be replaced by another ship, no worries, the US rocks, we have this under control" or is it trying to say "the Houthis are terrifying, they're an absolute menace and our smol bean navy is trying valiantly to keep the strait safe, but we have to bring home our carrier because the Houthis are just too scary"?
Because this article seems to gesture in both of those directions, and they're pretty contradictory.
Habanero Lime!
I have to travel by air soon, and I'm so, so scared. Likely it'll be fine, the total probability of a catastrophe happening on any given flight is still super low, but jeez, it sucks that I'm afraid of a thing we had pretty much totally sorted like 20 years ago. Capitalism can eat my whole ass
For everyone who is vegan who sees this (all 3 or so of you), it's fine! I have not accidentally eaten eggs, there are no eggs in the version that I can buy here, I'm attaching a photo of the ingredients for you to check for yourselves.
Editing to add: "Artificial flavor" is super sus, but I've long since decided not to care about that. If that makes me a bad vegan, so be it.
Well, hopefully I live somewhere where the noodles do not have eggs! I'll definitely read the ingredients again next time. It would be super sad if I couldn't eat them anymore, because they are delicious, in a painful kind of way
Wait, really? I definitely buy them sometimes (not the pictured ones, the purple one, habanero ... something flavor?) and I know I checked ingredients. Did I really miss eggs? That seems unlikely, but I'll have to check carefully next time I see them.
Your teacher gave you a failing grade just because of commas? That's a little over-the-top, in my opinion.
And thanks! It's been a miserable slog, I'm going to be so glad to be done with it! Congrats on finishing yours too, even though it was awhile ago!
Haha, yeah, exactly. Exactly that
Why do I use so many commas when writing? I'm editing my dissertation (it's really, truly, finally almost done this time, hooray!) and consistently the editing I need to do is removing like half the commas in every sentence. It's actually hilarious, at this point, just, how many, extra commas, there are, everywhere.
Was there some meaning this article was trying to convey? I read the whole thing and my response is just 
I got literally, absolutely nothing from reading all those words, and I'm pretty sure that's not my fault.
Also, and this is a small thing, I know articles are published with typos all the time, but the following sentence makes no sense, right? Like, the grammar is wrong to the point where the sentence is meaningless, isn't it? I'm not just misreading things entirely?
Krugman reiterated his view that it’s better to cut rates soon with the chance of re-accelerating inflation looks very small if the Fed cuts rates.

Anyway, just a tip for future comments on the internet: I'd suggest not being an asshole in your very first reply to someone you disagree with unless there's a good reason to be, because it makes you look extremely silly if your shitty comment is actually just wrong. I wouldn't have commented in this thread at all if you hadn't been an immediate asshole to frightful_hobgoblin, but here we are.
