Yep, WWI was the result of a bunch of inbred rulers turning family disagreements into a war because they could.

There’s technically a spot where making more can cost you money, but that’s well out of reach of normal people. It involves triggering the alternative minimum tax.

This hurts the Disney image and the margins on their cruises, so they might.

Michigan was the only state where Palestine was a major factor in people not voting Democrat. Trump still won all the other swing states. There were more people that were surprised Biden wasn’t on the ballot than there were people not voting for Harris because of genocide nationally. That’s 100% the fault of Democrats not doing a primary and falling back to the candidate no one actually wanted.

Obama won in one of the best years for a Democrat candidate in probably 40 years. Hillary probably could have won then as well.

I don’t think 24 was highly winnable for Democrats. It was a coin toss year that they fumbled by pretending Biden was remotely ok to be a candidate.

Private prisons make of a tiny amount of inmates in the US. Even then they don’t really care, there’s always more inmates.

In the US, probably indefinitely. There’s not communication between municipalities to actually track down someone killing local prisoners. Depending on where it happened, it might not even be noticeable among the numbers that die in prison already. The single most improbable part of death note is the initial speed in connecting widespread events to a hyper localized area.

The police also have a terrible solve rate on murder nationwide. Serial killers have decade plus long active streaks while physically killing and hiding bodies. There’s several that never were caught.

Even with per capita numbers that are way above or way below the norm can skew results.

Not remotely an expert. While the numbers are crazy big, the time tends to be short. The ppe doesn’t have to survive thousands of degrees for more than a fraction of a second. Also it has to route the charge through itself rather than you. Finally, for certain death scenarios successfully working ppe doesn’t mean unscathed, it means still alive with reasonable recovery chances.

It’s great for pretty much any sweet or chocolate based cookie.

Coffee is a superior dunking medium than milk for Oreos.

Historically the priesthood/other holy orders was a place to toss the weird people or undesirable heirs. It was a convenient way for the gay uncle to have a respectable job and explain why they didn’t have a wife. It was also a way to keep pedo types isolated but productive, at least until resources led to many orders dissolving.

That’s pretty likely in Florida, they just lost a seat that was R+19 the election before. If they drop margins into the +5-7 range it could be a 2010 level swing in the Democrats favor this time.

Ravel and unravel can both mean to take apart something that was knitted or woven.

While you may not like the term, it is giving a name to a common set of actions that can cause real financial problems. Giving them a name can be a way to help discuss them, which is beneficial for both personal finance reasons and relationships.

Exactly like my example above. 1/8 implies +or- 1/16. While .125 implies +or- .0005, but it was only measured to +or- .0625, which is 2 orders of magnitude different.

The fraction allows you to communicate length and tolerance in a single number. A decimal implies precision to the last number, a measure with a fraction can show 1/8 as more granular than 1/16. 1/8 of a cm is less precise than a mm, but if you wrote 1.125 cm, you are now implying sub mm level precision.

This matters because the level needed in building generally doesn’t line up to 1/10 measurements. For example if you had a brick wall and a row had 1 cm height differences between bricks in a row it would be extremely obvious and look terrible. A 1mm height difference would be impossible to notice, but is also overkill to get that level. Ideal is about 5/8 cm or 6.35 mm difference over 3 meters of wall. The fractional measure often ends up easier to work with in practice.

Something major is going to have to change at some point though with game pass. This year is probably the last time we see a day one release of a major title. Cutting CoD is to test the waters for future cuts.

This is basically a rental model. The 2 game limit is just for the cheapest option, you could always pay more for more. If you want a reasonable quality catalog at a sub $10 price there needs to be some level of restrictions. If you want complete freedom it’s going to come at increased cost or a worse catalog.
