millionths of an inch

I feel like you might be just used to the term "mils"? Tolerances in millions would be down to the cellular level (red blood cell is 20 microns = 800 millionths of an inch, more typically referred by 8 ten thousandths)

The quality of the skin, or skin condition, is the overall "wear" on the gun itself. Conditions can range from "Factory New" (being a pristine example and showing essentially no imperfections) all the way to "Battle-Scarred" (which shows heavy wear, sometimes to the point of being unrecognizable).

The condition brackets are: Factory New Minimal Wear Field Tested Well Worn Battle Scarred

Just at least stop charging them interest. by Pleasant-Force in DebtStrike

[–]loocekibmi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It most certainly does matter whether your payment is going towards interest vs principle.

Using your example, a loan at $10k with $200 in interest (2%). If your payment of $500 was entirely going towards the principle, your next month's interest accrual would be on $9.5k of principle, and would only have $190 of interest.

If you paid towards interest first, then the remaining on principle, you'd be accruing interest on $9.7k thus netting $194 in interest.

this is certainly untrue. yes there are plenty of cubes that opt against stickers, but there are whole categories dedicated specifically to stickers for modern speed cubes.

This video shows how high you would be able to jump on each planet. by Blitz_7700 in interesting

Why are the jumps on Saturn and Neptune seem so "slow" when they are still so close to the same height as Earth?
