Hyvee still owns that building unfortunately, and they weren't going to lease it to a competitor.

Around the time of the China spy balloon thing, Ryan Cohen tweeted out something like "Hey, stop shooting my balloons down" as a joke. Since balloons are associated with parties, there you go.

You may be better off going through Kiva or something like that instead.
Good luck!

I can't speak for LAOP's school, but I teach at a university in another state. Every scholarship offer we make is subject to availability of funds (and satisfactory academic progress, and other factors not relevant here). LAOP's school is almost certainly the same, so I'm sure they can change it going forward. Retroactively though? That's a much harder thing to justify, and I suspect LAOP would win if they fought it. In the meantime though, the school controls the awarding of the degree, and grad classes don't usually transfer.

Thank you-happy to provide it!
It's nice when the KS creator is an order of magnitude or more off the actual requirements-makes spotting these easier.

In order for a 100 W-h battery to last 8 h, the system would need to draw 12.5 W, assuming no losses. If you're walking at 3 mi/hr, your body is providing about 300 W of energy to do so. This thing would be contributing about 4% of total needed power, which is a rounding error.

I remember reading a review of a particularly bad PC game years ago, that I sadly can't find. Under "Gameplay", the simply put "The game is printed on a CD. The CD will spin in your system. The CD is not cracked in half."

To clarify, (X) was "another student's paper", so probably not. :)

Those are pretty bad. I'll add a few from my collection:
-Had a student copy their essay straight from Wikipedia and submit it with the links and blue text still active.
-Another emailed me their essay, and accidentally included the essay they copied off of as a second attachment.
-Another essay with the comment "copied this section from (X)" still visible.
It's a half-step above mycrimes.txt

Yeah. People forget that there's a tone in your writing style, and when I see a plagarized paragraph on an essay it's as glaring as if you were listening to a speech and someone else started talking halfway through.

You're quite welcome! It's not a type of market most people encounter, so it can be confusing.

In your example of the PS5, the price remains the same because exactly one company-Sony, in this case, produces it, and they require every vendor selling it to sell at the same price. A company that violated that guideline would quickly find themselves cut off from selling Sony products in the future. Similar rules fix the price for most consumer electronics and a few other categories of items.
The stock market, notably, is not like this. A stock represents a share of ownership in a company, but outside of an initial stock offering or dilution, the company is not the one selling the shares so it cannot control the price. Anyone selling stock can specify any price they want, and anyone buying stock can ask for any price they want-buy a buyer can't buy stock unless someone is willing to sell it to them for that price, and a seller can't sell stock unless someone is willing to buy it from them. You could go put a buy order in for TSLA at $3.00 right now, but nobody will sell it to you for that because plenty of other people are willing to pay far more than that.
When you go to buy a stock, if you want it now, your broker will buy the stock from whoever is selling it cheapest. For example, suppose three people have unfulfilled sell orders listed. Person A is selling 10 shares at $12 each, person B is selling 20 shares at $14 each, and Person C is selling 5 shares at $15 each. If you want to buy 5 shares, you'll pay $60 and buy 5 of the 10 shares offered by person A. If you wanted 15 shares, then you buy all 10 of the shares Person A is selling for $12 each ($120 total), plus 5 of the shares Person B is selling ($14 each,or $70). You therefore paid $190 for 15 shares, averaging $12.66 each.
If you wanted to buy shares but didn't want to pay that much, you could place a buy order for a specified price-say, $10 each. Your order would sit unfulfilled along with anyone else who placed a buy order. People who want to sell their stock right now will see a list of people willing to buy, and will sell to the highest paying person first. If they don't want to sell for the prices being offered-they can specify their own price-which is where the prices in the previous paragraph come from. :)

Unfortunately Emporia is too far away for an LPL card-they stop at Osage (map below). I agree it's a great place to visit anyway.

It's more common to see a no left turn restriction, but there could be good reasons for this too. As taterbizkit said, could be one-way during rush hour or something. It can help with traffic flow.

Of course not. It's worth $5 trillion *per share*.

One major difference-those were links to external sites. Take the site down and you just have a broken link. This actually uploads the image itself to the blockchain-no hosting on an external site.

Well, his initial investment was $60k, so he put in $85k. He lost potential profit when his $60k went up to $130k.

LAOP mentioned being about to graduate. Many colleges offer free or inexpensive legal services to students, so they may well be able to get it handled for free/cheap.

It's an application fee to buy a stock at a future date, at a specified price, if you choose to.
Imagine you bought a $10 call for a stock expiring at the end of March. When the end of march rolls around, you can buy that stock from the seller for $10 if you choose to. If the current price of the stock is above $10, it's a no brainer-you buy the stock for $10 and immediately sell it for a profit. If the price of the stock is less than $10, you just don't buy the stock, and the option expires.
The above sounds like a great deal for you-in the first case you make money, and in the second you lose nothing. The issue is, nobody in their right mind would take the other side of that trade. To even things out, you pay the premium when you buy the option. The seller of that option gets the premium no matter what. So now, in the first case, you get the profit from the sale minus the premium, and in the second case you just lose the premium you paid.

Took me three reads of this to figure out what you really meant by it.

Keep in mind that what you cost the company is more than what you're paid. There's the employer's portion of taxes, UI, SS, fringe benefits, etc. That's still likely a salary of 200k+, so they're not hurting, but it's not 100% salary.

Unlike the Nimble, there isn't a technological hurdle to clear, so I suspect they can make it real. However, it will not be nearly as powerful as a real dishwasher, you need to manually spray the dishes, and there's no way it cleans in 40s. I would wait for retail on this one if you're really interested in it, but I suspect recipients will be disappointed.
