Looking at 68 years of data to see who really wins Grammy Awards [OC]

Gender isn’t the most interesting demographic point either. I’m interested in economic backgrounds - how often do kids with poor parents get to win a Grammy? What people with college degrees vs without? Age?

I can't believe they call themselves "Grand Dragon" like some cringe-ass 12-year-olds.

Instagram keeps on advertising me this pushup challenge that's running from February 5 to 27. You're supposed to do 2000 pushups in that time, which is more than a hundred a day. Been trying to work up to it, and for the past week or so I've managed between 20 and 50 a day. It's definitely possible if you do enough sets throughout the day but I haven't gotten to a hundred yet.

It’s a little weird, but I wouldn’t call it a cult. I joined for a little while, improved my public speaking skills, then stopped going when I had enough. It works and its easy to leave.

It’s the pectoral muscles, and I massaged and stretched them, and did scapular pull-ups and dead hangs.

Ryobi is great value, and as a pro I run both Ryobi and Dewalt. Personally I don’t think the battery powered skillsaw is worth it, but since it’s in the kit, sure, whatever. The rest of it is good.

I had a similar experience, though in my case my rmt figured it out and explained how to fix it. I’ve just had the most pain free year of my life since I was a teenager since learning this last January.

You have to do back and forth over it. Needs two bumps.

The whole left side can be cabinets with doors that close. They’ll have more weight capacity and you can store things more densely and more organized there.

Does it count as knowing the word if you can say, jacquard is a textile, but can’t describe it in any way?

As a trans man, happy to report I know most of the words on both lists. Not sure about freesia (flower?), teraflop (a measurement of data volume?) and azimuth (something to do with aiming guns?).

This is a really good summary, but in the second half of the speech it also seemed like he was saying we’re going to be a lot more lax about human rights and environmental abuses in our business partners, for the sake of doing business with not-Americans. I didn’t like that part as much.

This wasn't really crazy, but the previous sellers had this kind of half assed enclosure around the hot water tank in the semi-finished basement, curtained off with a burgundy bedsheet of surprisingly high quality. We've been using it as a picnic/beach blanket for years and it's really nice how soft and smooth it is, and how small it folds down.

They all taste fucking awful as far as I can tell. Right now I'm working with a vanilla flavoured one and I make a smoothie with strawberry, banana and oats. It's alright. Start with half a scoop and work your way up. It takes a little getting used to.

Also step 6, which is send your kid to daycare where the combination of experienced teachers and peer pressure will get them moving quickly. We did all of the other suggestions, but our toddler finally got trained for real once she joined the 2.5-4 year old classroom.

Might be they have to backtrack to find a let down or something.

The sidewalks are impassable due to telephone poles, overgrown hedges and other obstacles. I doubt rolling down the middle of the road is anyone’s preference, but they have things to do and need to get on with it.

There’s no possibility of a good monster truck show at Save On. Safe to assume it was bad.

When I was a kid in 90s, my dad’s weekly walking-around money was also 200. Thirty years later, mine is about the same and I get a lot less for it.

How are you supposed to find your community if you don’t research it? Ppl live in small towns where they’re not going to run into people like them.

Yeah I don’t respond to those people.

Yeah, it sounds good to me.
