No, there are three kinds of people in the world: those who understand math, and those who don’t.

There are 10 sorts of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don’t… and those who look on blankly, because they were expecting a ternary joke.

[This is some schadenfreude-y news from Yahoo](https://www.yahoo.com/news/jerseys-division-alcoholic-beverage-control-212432484.html) (I think about 12 hours ago) just makes me chuckle.

> The New Jersey Attorney General’s Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) is reviewing the liquor licenses held by former President Donald Trump’s golf courses in the state following his criminal conviction in New York, the agency confirmed.

And why are they doing this? Oh, yes; he’s a convicted felon.

> Issuing a liquor license “to any person who has been convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude” is against the law in New Jersey. Applicants for a liquor license must have a reputable character and would be expected to operate the licensed business in a reputable manner, giving the division of alcoholic beverage control the discretion to consider Trump’s criminal history.

Oh, I spoke too soon. He’s a convicted felon and his crimes are considered moral turpitude.

I now have a new appreciation for New Jersey.

He might still be able to shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue with a slingshot…

Though I just looked it up out of curiosity and apparently the kind of slingshot that has a brace reinforced against your wrist is illegal in New York, but the old-school kind (like Dennis the Menace or Bart Simpson carried with them) would be fine.

And apparently in New York a bow is considered a firearm, so I don’t think he can legally use one of those either.

Clearly, the New York legislature is not aware of Jörg Sprave’s _The Slingshot Channel_ on YouTube.

Is there some sort of penance I have to perform in repentance of my sin?

I’d assign saying 5 Hail Marys, but it’s been so long since I said that prayer, I don’t remember the words anymore.

So instead, you get community service. You have to feed the SDMB hamsters for a couple days.

I think I remember something like “pay for our dinners” but I’ve never been Catholic so I didn’t really give it much attention.
