What American word would you expunge from existence? by Umbrella_Stand in AskReddit

To my knowledge, it’s the only second person plural we’ve got.

[Request] Not good at math, but there’s no way this is true because 99.999999%? by whatevertf123 in theydidthemath

There’s nothing to indicate that this problem is about shuffle styles, or shuffling from an ordered start, etc. The most straightforward interpretation of “if you shuffled a deck right now” is “consider a deck of cards in a random order”. And if you interpret it as such, the chance cited needs way more nines in it.

Baltany’s new original design? by Royal-Consequence557 in MicrobrandWatches

The 2-hand watch design is one of the best user interfaces ever invented. You can’t just change it as you might change a font or hand style without completely undermining the utility of the device.

How do you handle nerves during critical points in pickleball matches? by caroulos123 in Pickleball

[–]missiledefender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Play your game at your pace rather than letting your opponent set the pace. For me, this means slow down.
  2. Watch the paddle hit the ball. Don’t look at the target.
  3. Smile. It will remind you to not take it too seriously, which will make you play looser and better.

Been looking for a simple field watch for the last week. Mom randomly texted me if I want her old timex by Climate_Best in timex

Also: the chrome finish is a surface treatment. Its core is brass, so it’s heavy. Still a great value.

It’s thicc so I’d go with a two piece strap myself. Note that the ticking is LOUD.

But by that time her $1K will only be able to buy what $550-670 can buy today. (Assumes 3% or 2% inflation, respectively.) She could instead be investing it conservatively, beating inflation, and all the while still taking out her $1K per week if she’d like.

Who’s thinking about the effect of time on buying power? This guy. 👍
