I know it’s going to last a long time because the old lady said they used it everyday and it still looks practically new

I agree, but I’m the spirit of the question, do you work in a corporate environment?

Basically ‘duty cycle’…same reason electric heaters all put out 1500W but ones for larger rooms are ‘larger’. Big or small, they both put out 1500W, but the small ones can only do it for a few minutes at a time before having to cool off, while the larger ones can run for longer and heat up a big room more quickly.

If it makes it any easier, those hundreds of millions of people are going to die anyway, the only tragedy about it is that it’s from something we could technically prevent or mitigate, but most things are like that… Traffic, smoking, guns, unhealthy diet… The climate changing isnt really going to affect the earth, our short sightedness and ignorance will just make lots of areas we can comfortable live in now much less comfortable or unlivable entirely. It’s going to suck, but do what you can with what you have and just the fact that you know enough to care means you have something to offer.

Not that there isn’t a lot of creepiness going on with this in general, but it wouldn’t be crazy to remodel without emptying a freezer. Assuming they weren’t on top of the rest of the food, stuff in the bottom of a freezer can easily be overlooked for years

Maybe it helps to understand it when you think of it from the perspective that those $1000 expenses do happen, they’re not just hypothetical. But being able to cope with an event like that leaves you less able to handle a second one, and a third one

Couple that with the fact that I’m the US there is very little financial education so what might be an expected event for one person surprises another. Imagine living with a roommate and not realizing that to move into your own place involves coming up with first and last month rent, deposit, hook up fees, renters insurance, furniture, kitchen supplies, toiletries, etc… None of those should be unexpected, but also why would you expect them if you didn’t happen to run into them before?

Basically no amount of saving accounts for an expense that takes it all, and it’s then followed up by another one right after. And for some people those events are small and happen so quickly you never catch up and now you have late fees and interest and stress.

This picture of the apparent tornado, with alleged clouds and, i guess, some type of ‘land’ was captured with what has been reported to be a camera of some sort.

There’s no copyright involved in taking a picture of someone, or having a picture of someone… Your tourist pictures are fine. If you publicize then or try selling them, that might be an issue, but making it inconvenient for people to make money off of non-permission photos isn’t really concerning to most people.

Well ‘no benefits’ is a bit of a stretch.

Isn’t that just a different way of answering the question though? Do you think 60 years is the answer but don’t want to say that?

it is such a pathetic song…remember that one time that guy did a thing and we just died laughing? remember that? That was cool…

Yeah, guess i meant i doubt Walmart chooses to sell his chocolate based on the chocolate. I mean it could be fine, but unless he’s really talented in chocolate making and extremely economical, I’m reasonably sure they’re selling a box with the name ‘Mr Beast’ on it that happens to contain chocolate. If that name ever becomes neutral or negative in driving sales, i would be shocked if they keep it based on quality.

Second job overnights at a gas station… Pretty much any combination of right/left hand, upside down/mirrored, cursive/text, words forward/letters backwards, etc.

Because Democrats want someone who will run the country and Republicans just want someone who will maintain their minority control. We are concerned for the country, they are scared for their very existence and self reflection itself is dangerous for their existence. Basically self reflection is necessary for what Democrats want to do, and it fatal for what Republicans want. So we do it, and Republicans avoid it at all costs. We get a Kamala who we hold to a high standard, they get a Trump who can punch them in the face and they’ll still support him because of the party.

This is a really old message, but if you’re still having the same question i could try to answer, but that kind of message is pretty context dependant. For that specific one, it sounds like your program is trying to access something outside your network, like they have a website they need to access to check for updates or something.

Maybe, but i doubt he’s selling at Walmart based on the chocolate quality.

Is that supposed to be a smart ass answer?

Well, since you ask, it likely depends on whether they’re humorously encouraging you to look at something from a different angle, or if they’ve just discovered a handful of situations that get a chuckle from people who only encounter it occasionally, them proceed to subject everyone to the same ‘second-think’ ad nauseum.

Facts are tiny, but there are a lot of them. Theories are big but only useful the fewer of them there are. Grow oversimplifications, of course, but the more facts a theory can explain, the more successful the theory. Maybe that’s is how they should be framed, theories are never proven, they are only successful or disproven.

I think that should be allowed, but then just have like an outright charge on things like water and roads and education. I mean it’s already kind of like that for rich people, but let poor and middle class ‘opt out’ of government provided stuff and just take stuff a la carte…I mean it would probably have to be more expensive for each thing, but overall let people decide what to chip in towards
