Imagine all that wealth being held by just one guy, and there still being a handful of others.

That’s kinda debatable.

Rockefeller alone accounted for as much as 3% of the US GDP at one point. That would be like 800 billion today. It’s difficult to just draw a straight line of inflation on his net worth from his height to today, because the economy has fundamentally changed since then. Partially because of how fucking ruthless of a motherfucker he was.

Imagine if all cars were electric, and Tesla was ultimately the only source of electricity for everything you own. And Elon basically said if you don’t vote for his guy he’ll shut off the lights. And had done exactly that before.

Rockefeller, and others like him, also purchased their fair share of elected officials and if you worked for them, it was understood you voted for the guy they wanted. Or there would be consequences.

45 minus to fully caramelize.

If you don’t want them that dark you don’t have to cook them that long.

I dunno, 3 Body makes a good argument for China being the country of origin for the person that ultimately betrays humanity to the aliens because how much worse could it actually get?

It’s a cheap LED pen light, they hand them out like candy where I work. Most of us have our own flashlights anymore.

Head of garlic in to 2 sticks of butter on the stove, in to the potatoes when they’re ready. Skins and all.

Nommmmmm

Because it’s contrary to the narrative they already believe. Facts don’t change feelings. At least not at the pace they should.

Kinda depends how you like your potatoes. I generally like them a little lumpy, but I think the twelve or so of us in the lumpy crew nationwide lose that fight every Thanksgiving.

But! The ineffective ass potato masher does a real good job of breaking up ground meat in to super tiny bits in the pan for stuff like Taco meat.

What happens when those three pedal the other direction?

It’s stats, it’s a descriptive term. It just literally doesn’t mean what you’re saying it means.

A driver in stats is just an item or a group that has a significant impact on the final result. What that means is going to vary from study to study.

Anyway, you can hold on to your belief about what a driver is, you are factually incorrect, and you were also kind of an asshole to the other guy. I’m out.

Is it really Plato or just his shadow?

If I had had the money in 2016, I would gladly be that rat bastard. It was obvious then that magtards would buy anything with dipshit’s name on it, and you could easily slap a banner on your website that “10% of your purchase will be donated to conservative* causes.” With a disclaimer that stipulates that conservative in this case is conservation or that it’s net proceeds after costs, and include salaries and political donations in costs. Political donations in this case actually referring to planned parenthood or blue campaigns in battleground states.

Suck money out of idiots and put it to good use.

5% can be a driver if it’s having a decent impact on your results. This is kind of a stats 101 thing man. You might even look for those outliers in your results and find a way to specifically exclude them if you find that the information you’re getting is being skewed. Do that too hard and it’s called P-hacking.

“We found that the bottom 5% of respondents were driving results negatively and so excluded the top and bottom 5%.”

Think about it as a literal driver. It’s a driver. It’s not the driver and also half the passengers. You can drive a motorcycle, you can drive a bus, and how much of the occupancy you are of those two things can change dramatically but you’re still a driver.

Who told you that drivers have to be 51%?

That’s not what a driver is. Driver is a general term, ten pregnancies are a driver of total birth rate, as they have impacted total fertility significantly.

Your oil gauge really shouldn’t be moving a whole lot. That’s a feature, not a bug. The information you need is too cold, too hot, or just right. Knowing the exact temperature might obfuscate the important data. 99.9999% of the time, your oil temperature is within operating temperatures. You really only need to know when it isn’t.

Kind of the same thing for oil pressure, you either have enough, or you don’t. There’s no need to buy a quart of oil just to throw half of it in the car. That warning comes early, it’s “you need to go get oil in the car you’re currently driving, make that the next thing you do.” Not “you’re out of oil pull over.”

If you ever see an externally mounted oil reservoir, it will have two lines. One near the top, and one a ways from the bottom for max and minimum fills. If the machine that’s connected to has a sensor, it goes off well before that minimum fill line, and that minimum fill line leaves enough oil in the reservoir to lubricate everything it’s lubricating multiple times over before it runs dry.

I would argue that half the army recruits can only do two out of the three of those, and half them only one at a time.

Lmao what penalty.

Gyms typically want your checking information, rather than your card to avoid exactly that.

So you just have to go to the counter and tell them to remove your payment information and when they don’t, (they’ll say they have but you’ll magically get another change months later) then report them to your bank for fraud.

They’ll get a hold of you real fuckin fast.

When they take your checking account details they’re required by law to remove them from your system when you ask.

Like most of the plants we eat today, 2000 years ago celery kinda just looked like a weed. In this case, parsley, which is what it’s named after. It was used medicinally in certain areas but it was never cultivated in any wide scale.

Then in France they decided it smelled really good and would be good in food. And because it was a bitch to grow the royalty took a liking to it. And after a few generations of selective breeding modern celery was born.

It’s usually got a celery stick in it.

It’s basically a bloody Mary, you’ll either like them both or hate them both.
