    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]





  • Depends on what kind of mentor. A lot of times, having someone who knows tips and tricks or has seen the problem before can be really helpful. Even just watching how someone else does it can be helpful.

    For example, at work we have tests written in C in the 90s to 2000s to control equipment and test our products. The way some of the new test engineers and interns would fix things would be to change a parameter and recompile the test, instead of adding a variable to the watch window, using breakpoints, stepping through functions, etc. Showing them that those tools existed was huge for troubleshooting problems whenever something breaks (which is often).

    The bad kind of mentor is one who doesn’t/cant explain why doing it one way may have tradeoffs as opposed to the way you would do it. Their job is to 1) set an example for good practices and 2) guide you when you are doing something in a less efficient or self sabotaging way.
