Bahnbrechend: „Like“ führt zu letztinstanzlicher Verurteilung
Die Frage, ob das Liken eines strafbaren Kommentars selbst auch strafbar ist, wurde nun endgültig beantwortet: Ja, das ist es. Diskussion beendet.

Note also that one prime known in the last series is 1031 1s in a row. If you know this you can tell people you have an 1031 digit prime memorized and then go "1111...." They'll likely walk away, but then they'll also now have an 1031 digit prime memorized.

I... cannot express how evil this is, and how none of these people will see heaven.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
