But Trump was able to graduate?

Is Wharton one of those US schools (like Harvard) where anyone lower than a tenured professor has to write justifications to file anytime they give a student less than a B-?

Both Trump and Musk have degrees from the supposedly reputable Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania.

If these two are evidence of their quality of graduates, it really raises questions about whether it was another US institution where ‘legacy’ and money buy admissions and it’s impossible not to graduate.

You can join communities on other instances too if you have specific interests.

There’s currently an Redexit of Canadians who are looking to get off US-controlled social media.

Lemmy.ca has had a huge spike in enrolment as it’s the one that was most prominently promoted in r/BuyCanadian. Apparently, it’s had over 9k signups in the past day.

Thanks for bringing this here VS.

Saw Tatosky’s thread on Mastodon. It really gives a much better sense of how ‘real’ the preproduction was under Fuller.

Lots of expenditure clearly but badly managed.

Tamara Deverell talked about having little to spend when she took over after the pilot because the initial sets were built on the designs Fuller signed off on.

No engineering but a bay to hand load missiles! Which she repurposed to Stamets’ spore lab.

My thoughts exactly.

It would be great if they could bring Kim & Lippoldt back as showrunners/EPs and get someone else to direct it.

Sooooo unbearably sugary and sweet. Yikes.

I bought one many decades in childhood and couldn’t finish it despite loving cherry-centred chocolates.

I found out when we visited the Hershey plant in Smiths Falls before the closure that it was originally a local brand targeted for the super-sweet preferences of Eastern Ontario and Quebec - which are apparently shared with Louisiana and Georgia.

Shockingly, they were bred to be easier to handle and fit a can shape.

Imagine what the original varieties looked like.

He didn’t necessarily know that Pike would be an option. He likely didn’t know that Lorca would be an MU character.

We like brown rice baked in an ovenproof dish with a cover.

In a typical 1200 w toaster oven toaster oven, that would be 1200 w. We have a rice cooker but tend to only use it for large amounts.
