TIL: The knapsack problem is "weakly" NP-complete. There exists algorithms to solve it in time linear in the numbers specifying the instance, but exponential in the length of (number of bits require to express) those numbers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_NP-completeness
Arson does not help the cause.

So I have severe scars all over my legs. They are very dramatic.
When I was 19 I was a camp counselor with some horrible little demons under my care. All summer I told them I got the scars in a shark attack in Baja. I was very specific in every detail. They were enthralled. 1/3

There were people tabling in Tigard to recall our (Democratic) governor.
OF COURSE they were not wearing masks.
Does anyone have plain text of books by BIPOC authors? It's for string processing in my algorithms class. I'd use something like Du Bois (http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/408), but I don't want racial slurs to pop up.

Remember when candidates mocked @ewarren for having a “plan for everything”?
