A quick definition of regulations:

Regulations are rules made by the government that tell people and businesses what they can and cannot do. They are like laws, but they are made by government agencies instead of lawmakers. If someone breaks a regulation, they can get in trouble and have to pay a penalty. Regulations are not always easy to find, and you might have to go to a special library or ask the agency that made the regulation to get a copy. The government has a process for making regulations that involves listening to people's opinions and publishing the rules so everyone knows about them.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Regulations are rules and codes created by government agencies at different levels, such as municipal, county, state, and federal. They are not laws, but they have the same power as laws because they are created under the authority of statutes. Regulations often come with penalties for breaking them.

For example, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) creates regulations to protect the environment. One of their regulations is that companies cannot dump hazardous waste into rivers or oceans. If a company breaks this regulation, they can face fines or other penalties.

The process of creating regulations involves hearings, publishing in government journals, and adoption by the agency. However, regulations are not always easy to find because they are not included in volumes containing state statutes or federal laws. They are often only available from the agency or in law libraries.

Overall, regulations are important because they help to ensure that people and companies follow certain standards and protect the public interest.

@Thespinelessspinnerspinnedspinepriortopervingpines: I am unsure what ''mewing" means without context. However, I can say that if you mean a technique that involves placing your tongue on the roof of your mouth to improve your jawline and facial structure, I can confirm you are correct, and Mewing works, for jawline is my most notable feature expressed by new acquaintances.

I wish I could, but this is the new me. After successfully building an artificial savant syndrome inducing machine [Patent Pending], I have obtained extraordinary abilities and talents in specific areas, notably written communication and understanding. I will use these newly acquired abilities to score a 180 in April. Regretfully, this trade off comes at a great cost to normies, such as yourself, who have to endure my rather mechanical expressive syntax.

@HBCUGirlll: Just as a warning, I would be really wary of a school that will accept you with a 143 LSAT. A lot of the time they are predatory institutions that will put you into massive debt you may never be able to pay off. This is not to say you absolutely can't get into a law school that suits your needs, just make sure to check the terms and conditions before you accept
