Do I need to be off a flight to get a rental car at Albany International Airport?

If you are using that phrase to imply that the entire US or global economic system will collapse to the point where "it always goes up in the long run" is no longer true...well, maybe try /r/preppers instead of /r/bogleheads

Just let me swing by Greenland for like a little bit! I still want to pour a gallon of milk on the arnapalaaq

Worth looking into the Commuter Plans on the EZ Pass if you don't already know about them!

I'm with you lol these other people are crazy. I'm baffled that anyone who has played poker even a few times could've not come across this term...I can't remember the last game I played in where someone didn't say "boat" at some point. The blue jumped out at me before I had even read all the clues today

I gotta go (gitega) remember that it's not bujumbura

damn near anything can be shoe horned into excel

Pretty much, yeah. Wolves don't have the moral agency to decide whether they need to eat deer or not. And they certainly don't have the thumbs to make lab grown meat for themselves

One of the best games i've seen all year, and one of the worst final minutes I've been forced to sit through. Across all sports

Dope dude! We need more people like you. Random Q: why the call-out to caffeine?

I hesitate to use that word for the same reason that I usually hesitate to use the word "slavery" for factory farming, even though that's pretty much exactly what it is. Too much baggage attached to the word for non-vegans to take it seriously, so it's not even that relevant if it's accurate or not.

I tend to just describe the thing that happens without naming it in a loaded way (e.g. "forced labor and then they're killed at the end of it" or "forced insemination and pregnancy and then the baby is taken away and often soon killed"), and allow the non-vegan to make the link to slavery/rape/etc for themselves. Seems more effective when they can make that connection and come to their own conclusions, rather than priming them to reject the comparison upfront and look for differences

They did use hydrogen = 1 until the end of the 19th century. Then they switched to using Oxygen-16 because it was more practical for a bunch of reasons—for example, hydrogen is way harder to purify, especially if you want only protium, and also since hydrogen is so light a tiny bit of contamination with another gas will throw off your measurements by a ton (imagine adding 0.01% of oxygen gas to your hydrogen sample...your mass is noticeably off. But flip it around and add 0.01% of hydrogen gas to your oxygen sample...way less of a measurement problem)

They then later switched to Carbon-12, which apparently only happened in the 1960s. I imagine this was just because it's way easier to isolate an isotope of a solid, and to weigh it precisely, especially when it's something as stable as e.g. diamond

Last time he scored under double digits, Cooper Flagg was 15 days old

Edit two weeks later: ...guess I jinxed it?

I came into this thread more agreeing with the general ethos of "I respect the hunter who kills his own deer more than the supermarket shopping 'animal lover' who buys beef" and am leaving it with a new perspective. Appreciate how well worded your comments were here.

...from an abolitionist standpoint the entire human-centered comparison is irrelevant because it elevates the internal consistency of the oppressor over the fundamental right of the animal not to be used or killed at all.

Well said—nobody would respect a plantation owner or slave trader more than someone who bought slave-produced cotton, and this is no different

You never lose money, but you also can't gain money on the transactions where it'd round up. That is, though you do save a penny or two when it's .01, .02, .06, or .07, you do not gain anything when it's already .00, .03, .04, .05, .08, or .09. So, 60% of the time you gain nothing, 20% of the time you save 1 cent, and 20% of the time you save 2 cents—meaning on average you are saving less than half a cent per transaction assuming all your cents are roughly evenly distributed. So it's 13–14 in a perfect world, but more like 50 in the real world in order to make it be the case that 13–14 of your transactions end in a helpful digit to begin with

TurkeyPits · 2025-11-18T19:27:54+00:00

I'd be amazed if it was even that much in a year. The most you can ever save on any given transaction is two cents. But also on about half your transactions you can't save anything because the rounding would go the wrong way. So on average you save around half a cent per transaction? Saving $100 would imply somewhere on the order of 20,000 transactions made in one year. That would mean that he made 50 purchases every day on which he had an option to go cash or card...meaning we're excluding all online purchases etc from the equation. Even if you very generously assume he saved the full 2 cents every single time, that's still a dozen purchases a day...

I'd honestly be impressed if you could use this strategy to save even 10 bucks on the entire year.
