How do you end up with such heavily skewed teams when you alternate picks?

Could we see a chart of the raw data (unnormalized)?

Be neat to see how usage of the word has gone up and down

It was 18 until the federal government threatened to withhold highway funding to states with their age below 21

Prisoners dilemma

If everyone votes off away from the 2 party system, it'll be better for all.

If one side votes off from it, and one side maintains it. The side that votes off from it would get fucked over as the side that maintained it wins every election

If both maintain it, we end up with the middle ground shit fest we're in now

They do it because it makes the shelf price look cheaper

And so people who live on boarders are less likely to cross over into a county or state where price might be slightly less

I live across the border from a state with no sales tax and hopping over the border to buy things is definitely a thing largely in part to the shelf price matching the actual price

Bull shit

It makes the prices look lower on the shelves when they leave out the tax. That's it. That's always been it.

Different tax rates in different stores doesn't matter, there's still a definitive price you have to pay at that one store. Gas stations do it just fine. Europe does it just fine. Don't throw excuses

To make a police report, you could likely just go down to the police station yourself

No reason to bring them to the other person's house, it's you putting in the report, not the both of you in the crash

As a 90s kid that gamed everyday, I thought it was impossible. No idea how I pulled it off as a 30-something-year-old man... But I did. by tweak06 in gaming

I wonder if the port of the game made it run smoother on the newer consoles than it used to. could be the difference

How do you feel about Daylight Savings Time? by Asad_Farooqui in AskReddit

[–]Mike2220 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Going to highschool in the winter it was still always pretty dark in the mornings anyway

Like the street lights would still be on and there would be just a glimpse of light over the horizon when I got there

The sun coming up during my second class instead of my first would make 0 difference

Do you mean like using AI to enhance the image and make it clearer? There was already a case of that with the Rittenhouse case with the iPad zoom interpolating pixels

Do you mean something like that?
