This was a bit of a surprise. From an alum, here’s HSU news you can use.

Care to guess how long residents of Washington, D.C. have had the right to vote in a presidential election?

Sixty-five years as of yesterday, when the 23rd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified on March 29, 1961.

While the amendment provides presidential voting rights, it did not grant D.C. voting representation in the U.S. House of Representatives or the Senate. However, due to the District of Columbia Delegate Act of 1970, D.C. has one non-voting delegate in the House. Since the 1964 election, Washington, D.C., has consistently held 3 electoral votes.


12 tons of KitKat bars stolen in chocolaty heist in Europe, Nestle says

A massive 12-ton shipment of Nestle’s crunch KitKat bars was stolen in a chocolaty heist that risks causing a shortage in stores right before Easter.

KitKat, owned by Swiss food giant Nestle, told AFP on Saturday that “a truck transporting 413,793 units of its new chocolate range has been stolen during transit in Europe.” The shipment disappeared last week while heading between production and distribution locations, the company said.
Curious, I thought I’d look up the standard caloric value of a European KitKat. It’s about 210 calories. So, let’s do the math:
  • 413,793 bars
  • 210 calories each

👉 413,793 × 210 = 86,896,530 calories

So that’s 86,896,530 missing calories. 

Given that a Big Mac is about 550 calories:

👉 86,896,530 ÷ 550 ≈ 158,000 Big Macs


I found it interesting that the federal investigators I’m working with replied to an email at 3 AM.
