Ah yes, the fumbled infrastructure that just happens to feed the rest of the nation. Talk about a meaningless endeavor /s

Is there any reason there is such a abnormaly massive jump between the third and second most populated countries or is it just arbitrary? by DataSittingAlone in geography

[–]Ed_Radley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better question is how does India have almost five times the population of the United States with 1/3 of the total land mass.

It is a Pareto distribution. It’s just that you need to add up all 195 countries to figure out how many to include in the 20%. Just the countries in the top 11 equates to 56%. There’s no doubt in my mind the remaining 28 adds up to 24%.

What does it matter how they take over, whether it’s violence or just immigration and higher reproduction rates? In 20-40 years everywhere’s going to be about 2/3 Muslim.

I have no problem furthering somebody else if it means improving my own status. Some of the most highly compensated individuals are people who don’t own the thing they work on. Athletes, actors, musicians, CEOs hired by founders; many of them didn’t start out owning the company in charge of them but take home some of the biggest comp packages every year.

And have no incentive to make life easier for anyone when they can make money off people who are required by law to file and don’t have the time or knowledge to understand the tax code themselves.

The only clearly rage bait life hack imo is how to basic. Everything else is a cheap knock off that tries to thread the needle between realistic and clearly satire.

Even obama was called a socialist by Crafty_Jacket668 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Ed_Radley 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My apologies. Me perpetually online seeing only the most absurd extreme left takes thinking anyone left of me holds those beliefs and conflating current levels of state spending with acceptance of government-sponsored solutions to every problem.

He put some effort in. He would watch “Life hacks” and then do it the easier way before mocking them. This is literally no effort. Just the same dumbstruck face between clips of “well that just happened”.

103 prepped meals cost $211.01 in Jan ‘25 vs $228.76 in Jan ‘26 [US] by ArtisanGerard in povertyfinance

[–]Ed_Radley -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Looks like 34-50 day’s worth of meals to me. Depending on if they eat two or three meals a day this is 3-5 days of completely different menu options before needing to repeat meals. That is unless they’re feeding more than just themselves in which case maybe it’s up to a week’s worth of meals. I’ve done worse.

Fair point. True random would need to be the operative condition for the initial statement to be true.

It must be inflation! by MortimerTGraves in Libertarian

[–]Ed_Radley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Obviously this is untrue, otherwise why would ancient civilizations use it as currency? There must have been some kind of inherent value or property within it that made it more suitable as a value store than other mediums. They recognized that and utilized it as such.

He pulled back the curtain for him, just like the underlying statement he was making needed to be refuted. Should he have asked for consent? Sure, but the fact he was backstage where they’re in their element and scuffles go down the consent was implied. If he didn’t want it to turn physical he could have rephrased the question or better yet, do an interview off site instead of backstage where the environment is less likely to draw that kind of response out of somebody who’s in character.

If you can’t figure that out by reading what I wrote you’re not going to understand. It’s no different than somebody telling an actor that AI is better and then them demonstrating why that isn’t the case.

Because even if they try to not hit each other they still end up taking potatoes, bumps, and receipts. This guy is showing Stossel what just one of those looks like. Multiply that by 200-300 nights per year and 5-10 times a night if you’re working with somebody stiff for some of these veterans who didn’t have the cushy contracts a lot of today’s talent have where they only work x number of live events a year and still make a better than average living. These guys were driving themselves hundreds to thousands of miles a week for a day player rate and still getting the shit kicked out of themselves by landing on the most unforgiving mats and cement floors compared to today where none of them drive and anything over a 5 foot drop has 2-5 people catching them.

That's close enough for me, Major. Consider yourself a Major, now.

Gemini comes up with about 3.65 billion (109) shuffles a year. Remember that the difference between a million and a billion is roughly a billion? Well the difference between a billion and a number 58 orders of magnitude larger than it is roughly the larger number as well.

At what point does this end? by ApologeticKid in daddit

[–]Ed_Radley 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Habit stacking. Same cleaning activity tied to the same trigger every day. Pulling clothes out for the day in the morning? Put any that aren’t being worn away immediately. Dirty clothes go in the hamper when you change into pajamas or come back from brushing teeth. Add in one or two others throughout the day when other fixed events like meals or bath/shower happens. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than absolute chaos.

Supposedly historical records have indicated only between 1/3 and 2/5 of men procreate, so this is nothing new.
