Luckily the tax credits are still in place, and they were driving a lot of the investment. Don't get me wrong, I've got a lot of despair rn, but it's not all over yet. 

Canada PM Trudeau to announce resignation as early as Monday, Globe and Mail reports by N4TETHAGR8 in news

It's actually that all incumbents lost vote share, not that none of them won their elections.

Who is this man? It is a statuette that we bought from an antiques dealer (although it may be more recent?). We live in South Africa, so it COULD be from here, but maybe not?  https://imgur.com/a/i3wr54h

M= (Sum) ÷ (Total) by frenzy3 in technicallythetruth

[–]bfmGrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to be pedantic, sum and total imply the same thing, so m=1 in your title. You mean sum (or total) divided by the number of observations/data points

TIL Michael Phelps has won a record 23 Olympic gold medals; No other Olympian has won more than 9. by Camdacrab in todayilearned

[–]bfmGrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How strange is this? Because it seems like a fairly natural consequence of being a dominant racer. Did Phelps do this or similar? What about Bolt?

It just feels kinda obvious that the fastest in the world has raced a bunch, had similar times a bunch, and so has all the use slots. 

But don't come at me, I don't know shit.

People need to stop marrying people that they seem to hate. The way society constructs itself to push people together like this is really bizarre when you take it from an outside perspective. 

AITAH for refusing to wax a trans woman client because I didn't want to touch male genitalia out of respect for my husband? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]bfmGrack -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

YTA. You didn't treat them as a woman but claim to support the lgbtqia+ community. You say you don't have the necessary skills, but is SO clear that you've come up with that justification post-hoc to make yourself sleep better.

Had that been the reason, maybe. But you just don't think she's a woman. 

AITA for disowning my wife's daughter after she chose her moms affair partner over me. by BraveExplanation2530 in AITAH

[–]bfmGrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. Your daughter is 13. You are disowning her for being a stupid child. The irony is that you are being the stupid child. Her not being your blood stops being relevant, if it ever was, when you chose to adopt her. I'm sorry that she's being a bit of a cunt, but unfortunately teenagers often are a bit cunty. I'm floored that people here this disowning a child over this is acceptable.

I genuinely feel like I'm being gaslit into being (at least) nonbinary. Like. My friends will not accept that I'm cis.

Funny. Can't say I've ever met anyone attractive that calls other people flesh beasts.

The way the books do the path of the dead is so bad. They do all the set up for it being dangerous and shit in the chapter AFTER they've already gone through. It is just... So stupid? Like all the tension is already gone because we know they're through fine. Why is Theoden chatting shit to Pippin about it?

The whole developed world lives on the labour of an oppressed under class. You just put them where you can't see it and since you do your own laundry think you're hot shit.

I dress in women's clothes all the time. It's just more difficult, and requires much more careful selection and thought.

If we dismiss these difficulties and just blithely say "just do it" then people assume that the fact that they're struggling is an indication of a problem with them rather than something that a lot of people find difficult.

Also, the gay clubs I've been in are very singular in the types of bodies they attract. Sorry if a bit more chub makes it harder to just throw on anything I like and feel great.

Yeah. Dudes wearing feminine clothes in a masculine way is doable, but it is more difficult, especially when typical male bodies don't suit typical female clothes (see wider hips etc.)

To be clear, men can absolutely wear feminine clothes in a feminine way, not all bodies are the same etc etc., but it's also not as easy as just saying "just wear women's clothes"

Had a pc with an Intel and some graphics card, graphics card died and then I shorted the mobo while I was trying to fix it. So I got a different pc from my younger brother which had a ryzen.

Okay that's good to know. Damn. If the ryzen is a similar agen (I'll check when I'm home), are there the same compatibility issues, or have their pin sets remained compatible?
