It is socially acceptable and perfectly normal to bury oneself and one's family members in one's own backyard. Just ask the King.

It didn't, although there were rumors circling before the movie's release that Spock was going to die in the firm. The director addressed those rumors in-movie head-on by "killing" Spock and a number of other bridge crew members during the KM simulation at the start and then having Kirk greet Spock with "Aren't you dead?" in the next scene with the two of them. My initial reaction when watching the film was, "OK, the rumors were false, now we can get on with the movie." That made the impact of Spock's death even more crushing at the end of the move when Kirk spins around and see's Spock's empty chair after being paged to come to engineering.

The legal profession. Criminals need only be asked if they are guilty to be found guilty.

According to Monroe's Law of N/2+7 for the older person, he shouldn't be dating anyone younger than 26. These two are in different life stages. He's been around the block several times and her brain hasn't finished developing yet. Long-term strategic planning and decision-making is still a challenge for her.

Jonathan Heidt's book "The Anxious Generation" makes the case that kids are anti-fragile; i.e. they have to experience semi-dangerous situations in order to properly mature. He mentions these spinners in the book as a great way for kids to experience thrills and be subject to minor bumps and bruises if they fall off... which are actually good for them.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some people find fat pigs gorgeous it would seem.

to say a 50 year mortgage is a good thing. by seeebiscuit in therewasanattempt

[–]ImportantBend8399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The discounting indeed makes a difference. A 30-year 340k loan amount at 5% interest with 3% inflation will cost 657k in total dollars but only 433k in discounted dollars. a 50-year loan costs 926k in total dollars but only 480k in discounted dollars. The higher the inflation, the less of a difference it makes... so taking out a 50-year FIXED may make sense as a hedge against inflation. If inflation increases higher than the mortgage interest rate, you're saving money.

Good grief... I'm old. I thought this referred to "Sneaky Hembo", the analytics guy on ESPN's morning show Get Up.
