I have an old Nexus 6P, spiritually the Pixel 0.

Replaced the battery at some point, and it's now entered service as the toddler's entertainment on airplanes.

It's old and slow, but the screen still looks really good.

Maybe not a warrant, and IANAL, but government agencies aren't necessarily at liberty to share information amongst themselves. For instance, IRS needs a court order to share returns with law enforcement (IRC Section 6103(i)(1)).

But yeah...this seems like maybe not a super great solution...

Am I traveling with a fixed per diem, or do I need to submit receipts/costs for reimbursements?

Totally unscientific observation, but it seems that at airports they rarely ask if you want a receipt, and just assume that you do


which makes sense in the context of business travel.

I think it's a reference to the vice presidential debate with Pence in 2020: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kamala-harris-mr-vice-president-pence-interruptions/

Could be wrong though.

No doubt in my mind.

I mean Dexter Holland has a PhD in molecular biology, but if you're dropping into a half pipe you're probably more likely to be listening to Smash than to his dissertation on tape...

Different contexts. She can run like stink (as in, fastest in the world), and I don't see how that takes away from her academic achievements.

...I think she's track and field, not swimming, but I honestly can't tell if that's part of the MAGA impersonation.

Experimentalists: understood, say no more.

Theorists: ok, show me the Hamiltonian...including the noise terms.
