Some form of torture. The thing about torture is you can always add “and then…”

Psychological and physical

Imagine being forced to rip off your significant other’s fingernail.

And you might say “There’s no way I’d do that”

Sadly you will. Either to save yourself or them from more torture.

You will do it, we all would. That’s scary.

Sweet Gherkins

The idea was as she got older he wouldn’t date younger than her current age. Weird and creepy but not the weird and creepy way you think.

“In 3 years when you’re 20 I won’t be dating an 18-year-old.”

This was in 2006

Trump married Melenia in 2005

So imagine saying this after being married to your wife for a year.

Here’s another quote of him saying he has no age limit only to back track and then “weaved” to bring up another senator’s folly to divert attention on what he almost just let get confirmed.

Things got a little weird after co-host Robin Quivers asked Trump if he had “an age limit.”

Trump fumbled a bit at the response.

“If I— No, no, I have no age— I mean, I have an age li—” Trump said, while Quivers asked him “the upper bracket” of his limit.

You don’t trust the guy that made a promise to his 17 year old daughter that he’d never date younger than her?

And not only make that promise but went on Howard Stern and openly told the world about it?

It’s bizarre. Like just that one comment is enough to make me not want to stand up for the guy.

Craps is almost a team game.

If everyone plays the Pass Line (Shooter, the person throwing the dice has to play it) then everyone wins/loses together.

Everyone at the table playing the Pass Line is pulling for the shooter to make his point.

Now imagine if you have one person out of 8 playing the Don’t Pass. The person playing Don’t Pass line is hoping the other 7 players lose so that they can win.

It’s almost equivalent to everyone at the roulette table playing black. And you walk up and say “I hope it comes red”. Like why don’t you just hope it comes black so you can win when everyone wins?

My brother takes the dice and rolls the point. Everyone places their chips. I place my chips. The dealer asks me, “Did you mean to put your chips on the Don’t Pass Line?” “Yes, that’s exactly what I meant to do.” Silence. Then my sister: “You’re an asshole.” My brother rolls again: seven. The Don’t Pass Line wins me a couple bucks.

This doesn’t make any sense

1. Once the point is established by the shooter on the come out roll, you cannot play Pass or Don’t Pass lines.

So after your brother takes the dice and rolls the point. You cannot place your chips on Pass/Don’t Pass. Maybe why dealer was confused?

2. Don’t Pass Line pays on shooter rolling 2 or 3 on come out roll. You’d lose if he rolled a 7. Pass Line wins if shooter rolls a 7 on come out roll.

Second roll was a 7?

You’d have bet Don’t Pass before your brother ever rolled the dice for a second roll 7 to win the Don’t Pass

Bets after the shooter’s first come out roll are usually Come/Don’t Come bets.

If you made a Don’t Come bet instead of a Don’t Pass (Dealer was confused from your illegal play and considered it a Don’t Come bet.) You’d still lose if a 7 were rolled second. So that doesn’t make sense.

If your first bet was after your brother rolled once. The only way you’d win with him rolling a 7 on his second roll would be to play a SEVEN bet. Which would be an even bigger dick move than Don’t Pass because it’s a one turn bet that your brother was going to roll a 7.

I guess most likely you played the don’t pass before your brother ever rolled

In a mmmbop it really is gone

Hello, I’m ‘Moocher’ and I have an idea too

Why don’t you give me all the stuff everyone gives you and I’ll use the stuff for you

I’m not trying to disprove you or anything, I know it’s not your paradox. Apologies that it came off that way.

But like a tiny flake of space dust is enough to eclipse a sun for us a near infinite distance away. Matter is not going to let light through it. Even if some space dust thermalizes and radiates. The chances something like an asteroid, planet, moon, etc. Is high. Space seems mostly void, but an infinite amount of mostly void is still a lot of stuff.

I’ll check then out!

Can’t we see stars that do not show up in the night sky? Like that spot looks dark to the naked eye, with a hobby telescope it looks dark, but with a space probe telescope you can see a distant star is there?

You discounted space dust. But there has to be a near infinite amount of asteroids out there. If I wanted to see 1m lightyears into a specific spot, like the odds of not hitting an astroid would be pretty hard.

Like if you had a Lite Brite globe with each Lite Brite peg representing a sun. In the middle of the globe it would be completely lit up. However, if you started throwing around astroids around inside the globe, you’d start blocking pegs. Suns, pegs, are still behind the astroid. It’s just blocking the light. A tiny astroid could cast a huge shadow. Even tiny space dust.

I’ll go check out your comment!

I just find it funny that some Nirvana fans would listen to Plateau by the Meat Puppets and think it was Kurt Cobain singing. Like “He recorded a studio version??”

I wouldn’t even know how you could change Africa to something else and be liked. It’s a tall order for sure. I enjoy Bob Dylan a ton but understand not everyone likes his voice or even harmonica. “All Along The Watch Tower” could easily be changed and enjoyed because it’s the music and lyrics that are loved mostly. Africa is an entire package. I enjoy Dave Matthews Band performing “All Along The Watch Tower”. He puts it in his own style some, but that style isn’t as different as Jimi.

Lake of Fire is the only one I’d say is maybe better. Especially if we are talking about the MP too high to die version over MPII version.

They are all good songs, though, so I can definitely see your point.

Have you heard the original meat puppet versions? Nirvana basically covered them exactly.

Not saying that’s bad. But when you look at songs like “All along the washer tower” by Jimi, or “Whiskey in the Jar” by Metallica. Those covers are completely changed to fit their style. In my mind, that’s what makes a cover great.

A lot of Nirvana’s style is the Meat Puppets

Good covers, but they lack original twists. Meat Puppets even played the music in the unplugged performance. So really it’s wasn’t Nirvana covering them as much as Kurt Cobain singing.

It’s what I have against Weezer’s cover of Toto’s Africa. Good cover, but it doesn’t scream Weezer at all.

Smart switches are so nice

Going to bed? One touch of a widget on my phone’s home screen and all my house lights go off.

Front porch lights need to be on a timer? Smart switches do that

I recommend Kasa brand. Look for refurbished ones and you can get them under $10 a piece.

Easily worth ~$8 dollars per switch if you’re doing it new.

I think worth ~$12 if you’re willing to replace yourself

~50% of men probably wear a size 9-11 shoe

That’s a “Large” sock

Man with a size 8 shoe could probably still wear a “Large” sock and be fine.

~75% of women wear a size 7-9

Women with 6 or 6.5 should still be able to wear a 7-9 sized sock.

Families have genetically similar feet

I know from my experience, my father, my brother, and I all wear the same size. We all had different preferences and our own socks, but I could have easily worn their socks.

Credit cards = Free Money

1-5% cash back at most stores

So you can either pay in cash (or debit card) and get nothing. Or you can use a credit card and get 1-5% cash back

I need to spend $300 on groceries this month. If i had a credit card that did 5% on grocery purchases (one reason for multiple cards), then I’d have an extra 15 dollars this month. 180 dollars a year just because I used a credit card for a purchase I had to make.

I could have used my debit card, and the funds could be pulled directly from my checking account. Or the funds will be pulled directly from my checking account at the end of the month when I need to pay off my balance.

If I had an emergency $300 dollar expense in the middle of the month, I would have access to $300. If i purchased the groceries with the $300 in my checking account, I’d have no funds to hold over for 2 weeks. Longer if needed, a credit card can hold a balance for a price.

There really isn’t a reason why you shouldn’t use a credit card in America, other than poor spending habits

Credit cards can even give you perks like free cell phone accident protection when paying your wireless bill

Have multiple cards with multiple limits = higher available debt

The higher your available debt, the less percent you use out of it

Debt utilization is a big part of a credit score. And just getting that down having multiple high limit cards is a strategy.

Like if I spend 5k a month. One card with a 10k limit I am using 50% of my available credit. If i had 3 cards with 15k limits, I’d be using ~10%. Using 10%>50%

Opening up cards hurts your credit score in the short term but helps in the long run. You shouldn’t close a card unless you have to because having it is going to help your score for reasons mentioned above.

Walmart spent millions on rfid trying to do this. Howevera cart full of razor blades would always not read something so they gave up.

My point was Walmart, Sam’s parent company, spent millions and carried it out in their other store. I don’t know if it’s rfid, but I’m sure their research in it overlapped with the way they implemented it in Sam’s.

My Sam’s Club has two big arch camera things that scan your items as you walk past. Person at door that normally scans ~3 items and receipt, just waves and says “You’re good to go!”. Been like this for months.

Scan and go is amazing.

The arch is kind of cool but they just had to scan ~3 things manually before so it’s not that game changing. But nice.

Sam’s Club, owned by Walmart, does this basically.

You scan items with your phone, check out, then walk under this arch camera things to leave, I haven’t been stopped to be manually checked in ages.

Bank robber. Get away driver.

Would be a good analogy.

Yes, the bank robber shot and killed the clerk.

But they are both bank robbers

Who is more evil? The one that does the act or the one that enables it?
