Would discouraging Jonah be the purpose of asking to be paid? That might make sense. But more money is not Brad and Toni’s need; they both have semi-professional jobs. The problem is that too much time is being asked of them.
“Product placement 4th panel!! Ouch!” Ah, that went right me. I wouldn’t think that associating a product with Duke would amount to an endorsement, but I suppose I’m overthinking, as usual. (Perhaps more importantly, I don’t drink watered beer, so an endorsement of it means little to me.)
I worked with some scientists who had to get jobs in England during the W. Bush administration, the time of this strip, because of US stem cell restrictions.
How are they “mathematically identical”? Meanwhile, you put a variable resistor and a voltmeter across the leads, in parallel. As the resistance is increased, the measured voltage will increase across the current supply, but not change (or go up a tiny amount) across the voltage supply.
Irony, I take it. A problem Trump must have with his lawyers is that they have actually met him, talked with him. No one who actually knows Mr. Trump thinks well of him. That rule has very few exceptions.
You certainly wouldn’t be able to surf on tsunamis in the open ocean. Yes, they move fast, but their wave length is over 100 miles, while they are only a very few feet high. One part in 50,000 is insufficiently steep, I think.
