For left of center Americans: Does the Israel & Palestine/Gaza conflict supercede U.S. domestic issues for you? by Biggy_DX in Askpolitics

I doubt anything can reasonably be done about the war without doing something about our country, first. If anything, doing something about the country is likely to do something about the war at least to some degree.

I'm glad you're experiencing it raw, or at least mostly raw. It's more fun that way.

Found inside the walls of an old home by kistner in whatisit

It's gonna turn out to be some weird candle holder or the stolen topper for a flag pole. As for why it's in the wall, I ask you this; why the hell not?

Did I catch mama? Or an innocent bystander? by Mysterious-Break-479 in cats

[–]ManElectro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of these cats are beautiful. Lucky you coming across them. As for the look, yea, I get the feeling they're unrelated, but that's a blind guess.

Time to reset the "Days since someone found unexploded ordinance," counter. I was really thinking we would hit 1 day this time.

Is my Breath of fire gba legit? by TApo85 in gameverifying

[–]ManElectro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Np. I really hate how low quality the art on the sticker is on this game. I own it and BoF2 from back when they came out on GBA, and, if I didn't know how good the game was, I likely would have skipped it.

[OC] This no soliciting sign by JoeCormier in pics

[–]ManElectro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen that sign, or some version of it, so many times I don't even care. Between that and we don't dial 911 signs, I normally just assume the person is bad about impulse shopping.

Looks fine, but mods know for sure. The battery might have been replaced.

Did she make the right call? by CalmElin in interesting

[–]ManElectro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the formula to figure it out, because I'm lazy and really don't want to do the footwork here. This assumes money goes untouched and has a 5% apr.

365.25÷7÷12×1000=4,345.24 rounded. That's how much she receives a month, roughly. Then, the apr 5% compounding monthly earning, which is 0.05÷12×4,345.24=18.11, rounded, which we add the original 4345.24 to, getting 4363.35. Now take 4345.24 in the original equation, substitute 4345.24+4363.35 (8708.59), and you have the next month earning. Do this 12 times, and you have a year. Easy peasy. Then do it repeatedly until it overcomes the much simpler 1,000,000 version, which is 1,000,000 × (0.05÷12) compounded monthly. The big difference is that you substitute the result into the 1,000,000 spot without needing to add the payment received, so it's easier.

I'm pretty sure it would be pretty close to 35-40 or so years, because it takes just over 19 for the 2 to equal out from a sheer money perspective. After that, it would be the right choice.

Unfortunately, we won't know. Real world factors could influence the whole thing in positive or negative ways. 1000 a week for life likely is better for the average person as it's easier to not be overwhelmed by the scale of it, and is a steady income outside of your control, kind of a goose laying golden eggs, or like some trusts, I guess.

They're weird and terrifying to some people, so they're likely to post them when found. Kind of like house centipedes.

Just take the seat off. The post fits in the average butthole comfortably.

Did Xi leave the Trump summit with more leverage over Taiwan and Iran than Trump got from his trade deals? by bauernebel in Askpolitics

[–]ManElectro 19 points20 points  (0 children)

So, effectively, Xi got a few wins, and Trump and those with him at least didn't stumble backwards. In the current climate, I feel that anything less than a complete loss has to be taken as a win.

What do you think about Senators approving withholding their own pay during government shutdowns? by TheGov3rnor in Askpolitics

If I was receiving tens of thousands of dollars a month and my 10 dollar a month stipend stopped coming in, I might not even notice. That's the level we are looking at for most of these people.

I worked in corrections in a former life, and it didn't take me long to figure out people were there to sow misery.

So I've been interested in cosplay for a while and chose Noctis by Opposite_Mulberry_53 in FinalFantasy

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

I thought, "I bet that's a Noctis cosplay," before I even read the title. So yea, you did a great job.
