As someone who studied math in college, but can hardly string a line of code together without making 4 trips to stack exchange or some documentation, this was a very good explanation of why math is actually really exciting.

I definitely did growing up in elementary school. Every morning, during the school wide announcements, the principle or whoever was talking on the PA system would recite the pledge and students were pretty much expected to stand and put one hand on their chest and at least listen if not recite it.

It seemed to taper off in my middle school years, and basically only ever happened at football games once I was in high-school.

This is all in a fairly blue area of a generally pretty blue state.

I'm literally just a dude. I usually don't have time to post, and haven't really felt the need to comment, but I had a rare day off where i felt like I could actually take part in conversation.

You're right. Wouldn't surprise me one bit. But I still hold all parties to a standard of honest discourse.

Depends on the round. A lot of factors come into play on gunshot wounds, including velocity, mass, resistance, angle. There is even some possibility that the round just barely missed, but the displacement of air is actually what broke skin.

Come on man, you're making me laugh at someone getting shot. XD

It's not clear at all that that's what happened. It is completely plausible that someone would shoot a firearm at a candidate in a hotly contested presidential election. Let wait for evidence to roll in yeah?

 

Looks like someone took some shots at prez candidate Donald Trump at a rally in PA. From the videos I've seen, it looks like he did get grazed.
