          Ehhh, not really. The only place to get remotely decent food at my university is the pub downstairs, and a microwaved floppy-burger and fries costs $7, with no drink. There is a decent burger, though, but it costs $6.50 by itself.

            I been to Flinders University (visitor, not student) and the central part is like a mall of sorts with things like ATMs that dispense $10 notes (normally ATMs have only $20 & $50 notes), Hair Salon, Pharmacy, supermarket, Post Office, food court, coffee shop and tavern (legal drinking age is 18 in Australia).

            Hm at my university (living in Sweden) a lunch costs like 10USD or so and is of quite high quality… unlike their amazingly stale (deadly stale) 5USD sandwiches.

            Good thing I usually have very few hours scheduled and mainly get to work and study at home hah

The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset. See Trump v. United States,

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908. "You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."

Who can forget the Swiss-Austrian Union, or its famous capital - Istanbul.
AI generated ad by a company called Travello showing the 10 most visited cities in Europe, except the cities are hilariously poorly placed. London is in Wales, Paris is in Ireland, Rome is in France, Rom (yes like Rome but without an E) is in Spain, Barcelona is in Morocco, Prague is in Germany, Vienna is in Italy, Istanbul is in Austria, Milan is in Libya, and Antalya is correctly shown as in Turkey but is in the wrong place. Also a few of the borders like Switzerland and Austria or Hungary and Slovenia are missing.

wilbur, savvy enough to know he's in a comic strip but still not a great actor, awkwardly lifts a muffin up into frame so that we, the audience, understand that he has a muffin right now, which is very important narratively, but he's not really selling it well as an organic, human action
