Also, state schools will be holy shit competitive what with their tax monies keeping tuition down
Which will impact private schools, causing some of them to compete with the state uni on price (scholarships etc).
Doubtful. Your shitty schools will just shut down, private schools will become the playground of the rich again and everyone else will have to join in academic thunderdome to get into the increasingly crowded public school system.
I think we'd also likely see a rise in "cheap" for-profit colleges that give you a degree of questionable worth for a fraction of the cost. These will no doubt be held up a beacons of hope to the poor by politicians who don't much give a shit about quality.
Basically, I hope you guys like Florida, because you're gonna be living under our education system soon enough.

So in bridge design, we have different load classifications such as dead load (non-moving objects), live load (vehicular traffic), wind load, and so on. The distinction is important since you are allowed a much lower factor of safety on dead load than on live load, since the live load is much more unpredictable and has dynamic effects due to it not being 100% stationary.
Anyways
I just had a 15 minute discussion with a co-worker about whether a large group of zombies on a bridge should be considered dead load or live load.
Ahh, Fridays

that's dumb
cars aren't alive either, and they're live load
why would zombies be dead load
as long as they're shambling about they're live load

and there are similar amplification factors for walking people just in case they happen to march in step, but i think thats not a real concern with aimlessly shambling zombies

The law isn't necessarily bad. Think of it more like: "don't fuck people's livelihood until we can get to the bottom of this and cause a panic and food shortage, but hippies are going to over-react to this anyways, so fuck them."

A couple days ago I did my usual bit where hypothetical social anxiety escalates to fatality... in this case the deal ends with a fatal car crash. Of course a mere second after I conclude the statement, I remember that my roommate had shared the car with his dad when a truck crashed into the driver's side and killed him just five years ago.
The roommate didn't say anything, but he's been really standoffish. Really hoping he's not pissed and feeling really bad that I casually evoked that memory.

Unless I'm misreading, it takes the teeth away from the FDA for a year; they can say "yo, you need to test that seed more", but can't bring the courts in to actually file injunctions to stop them from selling the untested products. Which is terrible on it's own merits, not counting whatever crap Monsanto's going to try to sell.
-- a noticeable percentage of the public voice chat is in Spanish, which shouldn't be surprising, but for some reason it is.
-- there are LOTS of little kids that are more than eager to make friends with anyone else who will talk back to them on there. It's cute, in a wholly frightening, "goddamn just how little attention are these guys getting from their parents anyway?" kinda way.
-- and overall there is VERY little negative trash talk, like once every 15th match some guy says "you all are a bunch of fucking idiots" right before you lose (they don't say anything prior to that) so really Xbox Live's reputation as a den of negativity is very widely overblown at this point (although I haven't played CoD for years so who knows what the fuck is happening over there)

Florida. Invest wisely. Did you manage to type that with a straight face?

That sounds like the dumbest program ever (from the state's perspective). Jesus.

The thing I find interesting about gravity being a 'weak' force, is gravity is the force that shaped everything. Like, gravity forms stars and planets, directs orbits, which cause the seasons on Earth, and established the pattern of stars in the sky, which was a major influence in human development.
I consider gravity to be the most influential force in the universe in how it affects everything about everything we do.
