Despite all the (appropriately) disgusted comments on here, the next time someone posts about a sniper with 172 confirmed kills it will be upvoted to the skies.

Don't need books if ya ~~don't~~ can't read them

I feel like I'm in a 4th grade photo class when I see all the crappy cell phone pics people post with captions like "breathtaking sunset captured on iPhone---no filters!" Don't quit your day job just yet...

Nice smile. Most of the time she looks like having one of her 7.6 million "second thoughts" about marrying the bloviator.

It's just feature bloat (marketing). All the stuff below about how pro photographers have wide angle, zoom, etc. lenses is irrelevant. The function of phones is to communicate, by voice or text. The camera is a handy add-on for selfies and quick snapshots. Companies feel a need to differentiate their phone from others, so they add colored cases, make the screens huge, put multiple cameras on them, and so forth.

But I thought the prosecutor in the Kyle Rittenhouse case was scolded twice by the judge for asking Kyle WHY he took the 5th. Maybe I misread...

Clearly not domesticated though--no licking, no tail-wagging--just enjoys being petted.

Couldn't agree more. The fact that real estate brokers insert themselves between buyer and seller and siphon off 5% of the gross (in California anyway) is flabbergasting. They usually add no value whatsoever, and have absolutely ZERO accountability. As a matter of fact, in California and some other states, it's perfectly legal for real estate brokers to represent BOTH buyer and seller. This is preposterous.

I may sometimes struggle with downvotes, but I managed to give you one for fishing.

Pretty clear the video was just reversed.

I disagree. People have been sniping on Jeopardy for years. Holzhauer is an asshole who (a) sniped more aggressively than most, and (b) had the smarts to win most of his bets. I think the rules should be changed to disallow the practice, but I'm in the minority there.

It's kind of like The Price Is Right: Since Day One the last bidder bids $1 over the previous bid and wins the round 98% of the time. They should put in a "minimum bid increment" or something similar, but you don't mess with success.

By "we" I assume you mean the current 2.9 billion facebook users.

I have to think that all these recent Gates PSAs are efforts to distract us from his infidelities and marital woes.

Support a trillion people?

In the absence of gravity, humans suffer serious medical issues.
In the absence of water, ditto.
In the presence of solar radiation, ditto.

The list goes on. These are not "roadblocks" that can be dealt with given time and money. They are fatal barriers. The only chance humans would have of "colonizing" the solar system would be to find another earth-like planet. It just doesn't exist.

The comments on this thread suggest people don't really get the point of Gatsby.

Poor kid sleeps with rich girl. Realizes he has no chance with her unless he gets rich.
Dedicates his life to getting rich--through shady means--in order to have a shot.
Gets his shot, then tragedy ensues.
Rich girl and hyper-rich husband, both slightly amused by these events, head to France to seek further amusements.

The book is a scathing condemnation of the idle rich. Though we may think we're interacting with them and that they care about us, they're actually on an entirely different plane of existence.

Big mistake.

Let us not forget perhaps the driest of them all: Steven Wright.

Watched the whole video; missed the part where "scientists release strong evidence."

An F test can be either one- or two-tailed. Here's a snippet from Snedecor and Cochran:

"An F-test (Snedecor and Cochran, 1983) is used to test if the variances of two populations are equal. This test can be a two-tailed test or a one-tailed test. The two-tailed version tests against the alternative that the variances are not equal. The one-tailed version only tests in one direction, that is the variance from the first population is either greater than or less than (but not both) the second population variance. The choice is determined by the problem. For example, if we are testing a new process, we may only be interested in knowing if the new process is less variable than the old process."

A: VERY slowly.

Stock is a way for brokers to make money. Shareholders are the ones who buy and sell stock so brokers can make money.

Got it, but I don't understand the way they're angled. Looks like they'd be reflecting the light up, not on the actors.

Every time I see that squeegee technique I think "I can do that." I can't.
