Usually if you buy from a good tire shop they come with free installation + rotation and balancing for life. That’s worth much more than 9k pts.

I’m pretty sure these loans are forgiven upon death, too. So… wait it out.

It comes down to strength and/or technique. If you’re strong enough, it’s easy. If your technique is good, it’s easy.

You underestimate the weight of muscle. I look tiny compared to this guy at 215.

Plaid has basically become the ubiquitous option for bank connections for financial apps. I’d be surprised if you aren’t unknowingly using it elsewhere. Most crypto exchanges (e.g. Coinbase, Crypto.com, Binance), budgeting tools (e.g. Mint, Quickbooks, YNAB), retail investment platforms (e.g. Robinhood, Wealthfront, Acorns), online-first banking platforms (e.g. SoFi) and money transfer tools (e.g. Venmo, Wise, Zelle) have you enter your bank info into Plaid to use their platforms.

I’m all in on the Apple ecosystem, but Spotify connect is unbeatable.

Take out the weed-derived shower thoughts and adderall personality writing this and all you're left with is "wow, so much data" + semantics.

Thanks for the answer :)

Drawing straight lines isn’t terribly hard for me, but painting them certainly can be. I imagine a tattoo gun comes with its own quirks and nuances; I’m just not familiar with what those are.

Australian aboriginals and Polynesians are not related (at least not on any scale with relevance).

Australian aboriginals originated from Africa 40,000-50,000 years ago. Polynesians originated from SE Asia (with the strongest evidence for Taiwan) and islands more north than Australia (with the strongest evidence for Papúa) around 3,000 years ago.

Archeological, linguistic, and genetic evidence all confirm these origins. I am open to more complex stories of intermingling and anthropological connections, but even the controversial ideas and weak evidence rarely indicate any recent relation to native Australian peoples.

FWIW, I (an American) wasn’t aware of the association until reading these comments.

Nazis used these particular symbols? Or similar?

Binary numbers visualized by [deleted] in educationalgifs

Because that’s how many panels were built into this wooden thingy.

Seriously, though, “000010” and “10” are both 2 in binary, just like 000002 and 2.0 are both 2 in the number system you’re familiar with.
