Everyone knew it was a square root symbol. The student in question apparently made a stupid joke that, taken out of context, might have been heard as a threat.kent davidge said:People in US are paranoid about school shootings, but I never would expect such attitude in a math class.

WHEAT RIDGE, Colo. - It’s called Break the Stigma Fitness. Owner Janessa Lea calls it the first cannabis-friendly fitness facility in the world.
Opened in July, it’s the owner's bread and butter.
“We do cannabis-infused group fitness classes which is yoga, kickboxing and other classes all here," Lea told KDVR.
Lea is not in it just for the money. She’s in it for her health. She suffers from Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a connective tissue disease.
“It resulted in a multitude of issues, one that has a great effect on anybody’s life that has chronic pain," she said.
Break the Stigma Fitness is open to the public. But first you request an invite, then it will send a link. Then you register for the class of your choice.
It does not sell marijuana but gifts it to their customers as free samples.

I just thought: Hurray! No more taxes! But yours is interesting, too. It might depend on the Romanian process law, as it comes down to the question, whether a dead man can accused, resp. whether being alive is a required condition to open a law case. I wonder if anybody had thought about this when writing the rules for legal processes.nsaspook said:There is a serious question about the ruling.
I want to know if a person is officially dead can they be arrested for punching a judge in the face.
Much like the 2004 less-than-accurate and not-really-good disaster movie, The Day After Tomorrow, Dark Sky predicts that the temperature on March 24th will plunge sharply to near a hundred degrees below zero. Sounds bad!

"Do I believe the Earth is shaped like a Frisbee? I believe it is," he said. "Do I know for sure? No. That's why I want to go up in space."
INDIANAPOLIS -- In a state where drug overdoses continue to rise, people are finding new ways to get high and emergency crews are warning about one of the latest dangerous trends: bug spray.
Firefighters in Indianapolis are responding to several calls every day because of the toxic concoction known as KD.
To create the high, people are using "heavy duty" bug sprays like RAID and Wasp which have high concentrations of Pyrethroids. They are spraying them on other drugs like marijuana, spice and tobacco before smoking them.
