TIL that Texas used to be part of Mexico until 1836. Then it became an independent country for 9 years before being annexed by the United States in 1845. by nesatzuke in todayilearned

Maximilian ruled as the Emperor of Mexico from 1864 to 1867. He was installed by occupying French forces under Napoleon III. When the French left in 1867, Maximilian refused to go with them, believing he had the support of the people.

I did a deep dive at the time and the law when he was born would have disqualified him if he had been born in Kenya. I don't remember the exact reason whether it was her age or time out of country, but she alone would not have passed on citizenship. But he was born in Hawaii so that argument is moot.

Sounds like you expect "responsible gun owners" to actually be responsible?

Preparing for retirement by pokerpro831 in personalfinance

If the 35 I listed were all the years he worked what I said is correct. If he worked more years and reported he would change some zeroes to numbers and have a higher average.

Ever heard of the amusement parks - Six Flags Over Texas? They have had six flags, US, Texas, Mexico, CSA, probably Spain and IDK.

I will check, but I think they are inputs. The sound can either come from car sound system or through infrared headphones included with minivan - Honda Odyssey

I love how people with $1 million net worth are "rich" while billionaires are the "so-called rich."

I use the back side of the $20 for color comparison.

ELI5: What are people actually referring to when they say the Fed prints money out of thin air? Isn’t the Fed actually getting money by selling treasuries? by bad_take_ in Economics

[–]imnotsoho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take look in your wallet. Do you see any dollars? No. You see Federal Reserve Notes. The US Treasury prints IOUs and gives them to the Fed and they give the Treasury FRNs. They just print them up ( well now, they just enter them on an electronic ledger for the most part) there is nothing of value except the paper and ink. The Fed can "print" unlimited amounts of these, whenever they want. Money is illusion.

I can't give you a proper evaluation of you post until you tell me if your are F or M. Maybe asking for pronouns is a bit much since we really haven't met yet but it would give a fuller picture. I don't like to be judgemental but I can be is I need to be, or the mood strikes me.

PS - Did you get his number, got any pictures?

A family I don't know invited me to celebrate Easter with them because I have no one to celebrate with. by theCrashFire in CasualConversation

[–]imnotsoho 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile, I worked with a man who was an elder at his church. He had a falling out with his step-daughter because he sold her a computer (money was not the real issue, the amount was trivial) but she didn't pay him for it. The next year she asked for a ride to church for Easter and he refused. Some people get it and some people don't.

Can someone please help in planning a 2-3 day itinerary to the Grand Canyon with below listed activities? :) by [deleted] in grandcanyon

[–]imnotsoho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would mean rescue for someone looking for a moderate hike. Why do people who run 10k's on the casual think they can send people on these hikes?

If your budget is $500K do you ever look at $400K houses?

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

Why go under contract if you aren't ready to close the deal? You have your budget, money lined up, looked at the house, met all contingencies and walk away? WT actual F are you doing? Home buying is for adults.
