    Then after retirement and benefits it’s anywhere from 20% to 50%. I’m at about 25% just with tax, 36% with benefits and retirement.

    Depending on if your deductions are calculated correctly (you have to negotiate that with your job) you might end up getting a refund layer or have to pay, so in reality my rate is more like 30% overall. People with more expensive insurance or less tax credits and or other things on top of that are going to have it worse off.

    I make half what I would need to be able to afford buying a home in my area and be able to make mortgage payments and still have money left

    The first amendment allows burning the flag as a form of free speech, which makes jailing people for it unconstitutional

    Flag code isnt law directly but more of a reccomendation, and many government institutions and organizatioms such as the Boy Scouts will follow flag code, but civilians arent required to


  • Trump gave a speech at Fort Bragg (renamed back to Bragg after a WWII paratrooper with the same last name as the original namesake, a confederate general). He complained about people flying flags for other countries. He also said that we have contempt for the flag, that anyone who burns one should go to jail for a year

    Meanwhile flag code says that a flag which touches the ground should be burned and they proudly fly confederate and nazi flags





  • Density of silver: 10.49g/mL
    Density of water: 1g/mL
    
    Total mass: 1464g
    Total volume: 700mL
    
    x = volume of silver, mL
    y = volume of water, mL
    
    10.49x + 1y = 1464
    x+y = 700
    
    9.49x=764
    x=80.5058mL of silver
    
    10.49x = 
    10.49 × 80.5058 =
    
    844.51g of silver
    

    Probably an over estimate [of just the silver] due to the copper so probably more like 835-840g. [If just evaporating, the mass would be higher due to the lower density of the impurities like copper sulfate, so more around 845-850g. E.g. 5mL of copper sulfate would be 830g of silver and 18g copper sulfate = 848g]
