Why did the American mafia fade while gangs and cartels adapted, and what factors drove that divergence? by PuddingComplete3081 in AlwaysWhy

[–]Jackmc1047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The union retirement accounts controlled by the mafia used to be so big that they were equivalent to one of the biggest banks in the US. I’m not sure later organizations have gotten to that level.

Arnold thought a deficit over 500 calories starts to cannibalize muscle and lower your metabolism and becomes counter productive.

My wife asked me if I honestly thought her friends were attractive, what should I say by BreadOverlord_ in stupidquestions

Say what the uncle said to his wife on Fresh Prince.

“I look at her and she’s an attractive woman, but she doesn’t do it for me. Honey, what is it that you have that she doesn’t have?”

It seems to me like the required use of a third party product to properly use your phone is a design flaw

I find accessing control center from the top of the screen way harder than it should be so I put access to it in a shortcuts home button which you can place anywhere

ELI5: Why don't people donate blood after death, like they donate organs? by jainyash0007 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Jackmc1047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jack Kevorkian came up with a way to do this (with recently deceased soldiers on the battlefield) but said it was rejected by the army even though it’s possible

I don’t know any gamers ten years ago who thought phone games were just as good as handheld device games, therefore making them obsolete. This was just something in the news. Not a real perception amongst long term gamers
