That’s 600/yr and a long enough horizon that most diverse portfolios are likely to be net positive (I’m seeing about 5,000 gained with 8% growth in a basic savings calculator)

I’d spend those 10 years trying to free up cash flow but time’s a powerful weapon regardless

I don’t get it but thanks

Just to mix things up:

No, I haven’t experienced such a thing but I’m also barely ever in a big box store

Theoretically? I’d imagine it’s equal (or close) to the difference between global money supply and global money supply but I don’t think that’s what you’re asking

Who says this and what makes them think this phenomenon is exclusive to the US?

Che Guevara, Julius Ceasar and Galileo are household names globally and martyrdom is–in the words of religious leaders everywhere–“a whole thing, y’know”

At my work we have something in place that prevents somebody from sending to more than 50 recipients but we control our own mail servers and know how many people are in the largest department

Basically, things like this exist but aren’t necessarily intuitive to set up and defaults would require contextual knowledge

These are relatively easy to find in Japan

Couldn’t tell you why but they are

Flying cars are also horrifying: they’ve existed for about a century, popular culture won’t accept they’re a bad idea and imagine the research breakthroughs drone warfare would experience if a consumer market were funneling funds in from a whole new closely-related industry

Different jobs are different

Sorry for rambling

I agree with the spirit of the request but a CPI applied to military expenditure would be adjusting for prices of irrelevant items and could become very skewed at such large scales

Admittedly I don’t know have a better idea either so… Guess I’m hoping somebody smarter than me can chime in

The moment I realized the most one can gain from (pre-buyout)Twitter is the respect of other Twitter users, posting anything immediately became a chore

Not sure what the science is between 2 images with no source or timestamp and nearly 20 years of technological improvement between them is but this isn’t the peak of Katrina

Katrina ultimately reached its peak strength as a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson scale on August 28. Its maximum sustained winds reached 175 mph (280 km/h) and its pressure fell to 902 mbar (hPa; 26.63 inHg), ranking it among the strongest ever recorded in the Gulf of Mexico.

It probably refers to its stats at landfall

Katrina weakened to a Category 3 before making landfall along the northern Gulf Coast, first in southeast Louisiana (sustained winds: 125mph) and then made landfall once more along the Mississippi Gulf Coast (sustained winds: 120mph). Katrina finally weakened below hurricane intensity late on August 29th over east central Mississippi.

But power doesn’t equal damage for weather

[Katrina] is the costliest hurricane to ever hit the United States, surpassing the record previously held by Hurricane Andrew from 1992. In addition, Katrina is one of the five deadliest hurricanes to ever strike the United States

Science!

Counterpoint: what?

Hobbies have always been restricted to those who can afford or at least (as is far too often the case) finance them

Will an urbanist shift make these things less accessible as larger homes are torn down and replaced or drive down prices by hoovering up those currently forced into larger homes than they need? If I knew with impunity, I’d be too busy running my real estate to respond

Ironic neither Power Rangers nor Teletubbies are on this list

Depending on the job, yes

Sometimes video games and food should be replaced with “finding a better job”

Am I the only one having a stroke trying to understand:

“clears up again after the first wave of divorces (after 35?)”

Yeah, more or less both

I’m deep and this is 14
