    If they get 8 each, that's 16. The other 4 are Phoebe's bonus.

    Eight is correct. 20 - 4 (Phoebe's bonus) = 16 divided by 2 = 8.

  12. BREAKING: Donald Trump escalates his fascist assault on Harvard University as it leaks that the White House will soon send a letter to federal agencies ordering them to "identify any contracts with Harvard, and whether they can be canceled or redirected elsewhere." And it gets even worse... A senior administration official informed ABC News of the plans, which comes amidst Trump's escalating war against the legendary university. Harvard is still refusing to provide the MAGA administration with data on its international students, a bold and commendable decision. The letter, which ABC News acquired a copy of, claims that being a federal contractor "comes with the deep responsibility and commitment to abide by all federal laws and ensure the safeguarding of taxpayer money." It alleges that Harvard University "continues to engage in race discrimination, including in its admissions process and in other areas of student life," constituting yet another assault on DEI from this administration. ] Of course, these allegations are just pretext. Trump wants to bring Harvard to heel so that he can mutate it into another bastion of MAGA policy and thought. This is about his accumulation of raw power. The letter orders federal agencies to compile their list of Harvard contracts and suggest action to take by June 6th. The attacks have been relentless. Over the weekend, Trump launched another prong of his institutional siege by threatening to strip $3 billion in allocated funds from Harvard and funnel it to other schools. Last week, Harvard filed a lawsuit challenging Trump's authoritarian and blatantly unconstitutional executive ordered that barred the school from teaching international students. One need not care about Harvard as a school to care about this issue. This is a story about gross White House overreach, about a president who isn't content to simply tank the global economy with tariffs and alienate our allies on the world stage. He won't be satisfied until he controls every aspect of American society. If we don't stand up now, it will soon be too late to do anything at all. Facebook member group Occupy Democrats

    Sorry, not correct. Clue - line lengths.
  18. Have you ever shot a short video on your iPhone but it's file size was too large to attach to an email or to post on these forums? iPhone video files are stored in .MOV format. I shot a video at our Men's Shed, but at 40.16 MB it was too large to upload, so I searched the web and found a website that compresses these files online with output in .mp4 format, with a filesize of 2.81 MB. The website is freecompress.com and the link is below. Simply upload the file, click on COMPRESS and download the .mp4 file when compression is complete. https://freecompress.com/compress-mov
  19. When you are 80, it's hard to look under 65. Besides, the doctors have my date of birth, so what's the point. They send me a reminder when a new vaccine is released.
