Or just roll them around in a bowl

Shaking is not required

Money or currency is a way to represent value

It is a medium of exchange

Could your boss pay you in cows? Could you take those cows and trade them for a car? Yes but this would be difficult.

So if your boss gave you a cow voucher “money” and you could trade that for a car, then you wouldn’t have to lug the cows around.

It facilitates trade

Why a US dollar, or another currency, has value is a whole other question

Thing is you can’t make everyone happy.

Daylight savings time sole objective is to move 1 hour of sunlight in the morning to the evening.

I’m not sure how it’s supposed to help farmers unless they want to sleep in and work an extra hour into the evening. I think that it helping farmers is more of a myth.

So much of DST is misunderstood

Most people I have heard hate daylight savings time because “the sun sets so early in the winter”

Yet that’s the outcome of not staying on permanent DST. Winter is standard time.

Others hate the switch. Once again it’s because we don’t stay permanently on one.

I’m with you though, I enjoy the extra hour of sunlight in the evening.

Let’s look at NY city.

June 21th longest day, sunrise is at 5:24 am (Set 8:31 pm)

December 21th longest night, sunrise is at 6:42 am (Set 4:32 pm)

If you got rid of daylight savings time then the sun would rise at 4:24 am in June and set at 7:31 pm.

(Most people in NY probably want the extra hour of light at 7:31 pm instead of 4:24 am)

If you kept permanent daylight savings then the sun would rise at 7:42 am in December and set at 5:32 pm)

(Most people in NY probably want some light before 8 because it’s going to be dark after dinner anyways)

So many people are awake before 8 am compared to 5 am

So many people enjoy the light at 7:30 pm in the summer

Switching really is the sweet spot for NY

Location is definitely important too in hating or liking DST

Ontonagon, Mi sun sets at 5:25 pm tonight (7:58 am rise)

Dexter, Me sun sets at 4:10 pm tonight (6:33 am rise)

Same time zone, both northern cities.

If we didn’t get off DST Ontonagon wouldn’t see the sunrise until almost 9 am today

People in Dexter might have preferred to stay on DST getting light between 7:33 am to 5:10 pm today

The farther west you live in a time zone the less you like DST generally. Farther east, the more you like it.

Ontonagon is so west it should really be in Central Time zone.

If that was the case then the sun would set at 4:25 pm tonight (6:58 am rise) (basically Dexter ME times)

At that point they might want to stay on DST and it would make it exactly what it was today, sunset at 5:25 pm tonight (7:58 am rise)

Should just have dimes.

$1.1 $1.2 $1.3

There’s no reason to break our currency into thousandths. Hardly a reason to break it into hundredths.

Could keep quarters to keep hundredths

Transactions already need a nickel to do 5 cents. So requiring a quarter to do 5 cents isn’t crazy.

Say you have to pay $1.05

Dollar and 3 dimes, quarter in change.

$1.15

Dollar and a quarter, dime in change.

But I think just dimes are needed

Some form of torture. The thing about torture is you can always add “and then…”

Psychological and physical

Imagine being forced to rip off your significant other’s fingernail.

And you might say “There’s no way I’d do that”

Sadly you will. Either to save yourself or them from more torture.

You will do it, we all would. That’s scary.

A bat can bite you in your sleep (more likely to bite a human if rabid) and you may not even know you were bitten because they have tiny teeth.

Definitely worth notifying everyone that could have came in contact.

You’re assuming people who are forced to buy into the suburban hell have a choice.

If a person had a choice between a 100k house in a suburban hell or a 100k house in secluded heaven. That they pick the suburban hell.

Have you seen the housing market in the US?

It’s also funny how “Suburban” meaning has changed. It’s supposed to be non-urban.

But with these “suburban” neighborhoods in cities. It has basically became a word for a neighborhood with houses built next to each other and less about where it’s located.

Suburbs use to be an inexpensive option as opposed to urban living.

Highly recommend going to see it in person. Pictures can’t do it justice.

It’s like the grand canyon. You can look at pictures but being there to actually see the scale is a different experience.

It’s honestly mind blowing

I have been on this planet for a while and I have only seen the night sky like the last picture driving through Texas in the middle of nowhere.

Power going out in a city isn’t enough to stop the light population from surrounding areas. It would have to be the only city around for miles and it would have to be a full power loss.

I would say most people have never came close to seeing an uncountable amount of stars in the sky.

I live in a medium sized city that is 30 minutes from a large city. I can count like a dozen stars in the sky. If we lose power the sky doesn’t magically change to look like it was in Texas. Honestly, I don’t remember it changing at all.

The idea was as she got older he wouldn’t date younger than her current age. Weird and creepy but not the weird and creepy way you think.

“In 3 years when you’re 20 I won’t be dating an 18-year-old.”

This was in 2006

Trump married Melenia in 2005

So imagine saying this after being married to your wife for a year.

Here’s another quote of him saying he has no age limit only to back track and then “weaved” to bring up another senator’s folly to divert attention on what he almost just let get confirmed.

Things got a little weird after co-host Robin Quivers asked Trump if he had “an age limit.”

Trump fumbled a bit at the response.

“If I— No, no, I have no age— I mean, I have an age li—” Trump said, while Quivers asked him “the upper bracket” of his limit.

You don’t trust the guy that made a promise to his 17 year old daughter that he’d never date younger than her?

And not only make that promise but went on Howard Stern and openly told the world about it?

It’s bizarre. Like just that one comment is enough to make me not want to stand up for the guy.

As someone with long hair and a long beard I haven’t been carded in basically 10+ years.

Last weekend I got carded buying a beer with my parents-in-laws. Of course one of the very few times I didn’t have my ID.

Two 65+ people order a beer and then like, oh we’ll get your beer on our tab to make things easier. Bartender “I’ll need to see his ID”

We all couldn’t believe it. I wasn’t upset or anything, it was just kind of absurd feeling. I’ve been drinking for almost 20 years.

It’s one of those situations where common sense should be allowed to be used.

Craps is almost a team game.

If everyone plays the Pass Line (Shooter, the person throwing the dice has to play it) then everyone wins/loses together.

Everyone at the table playing the Pass Line is pulling for the shooter to make his point.

Now imagine if you have one person out of 8 playing the Don’t Pass. The person playing Don’t Pass line is hoping the other 7 players lose so that they can win.

It’s almost equivalent to everyone at the roulette table playing black. And you walk up and say “I hope it comes red”. Like why don’t you just hope it comes black so you can win when everyone wins?

My brother takes the dice and rolls the point. Everyone places their chips. I place my chips. The dealer asks me, “Did you mean to put your chips on the Don’t Pass Line?” “Yes, that’s exactly what I meant to do.” Silence. Then my sister: “You’re an asshole.” My brother rolls again: seven. The Don’t Pass Line wins me a couple bucks.

This doesn’t make any sense

1. Once the point is established by the shooter on the come out roll, you cannot play Pass or Don’t Pass lines.

So after your brother takes the dice and rolls the point. You cannot place your chips on Pass/Don’t Pass. Maybe why dealer was confused?

2. Don’t Pass Line pays on shooter rolling 2 or 3 on come out roll. You’d lose if he rolled a 7. Pass Line wins if shooter rolls a 7 on come out roll.

Second roll was a 7?

You’d have bet Don’t Pass before your brother ever rolled the dice for a second roll 7 to win the Don’t Pass

Bets after the shooter’s first come out roll are usually Come/Don’t Come bets.

If you made a Don’t Come bet instead of a Don’t Pass (Dealer was confused from your illegal play and considered it a Don’t Come bet.) You’d still lose if a 7 were rolled second. So that doesn’t make sense.

If your first bet was after your brother rolled once. The only way you’d win with him rolling a 7 on his second roll would be to play a SEVEN bet. Which would be an even bigger dick move than Don’t Pass because it’s a one turn bet that your brother was going to roll a 7.

I guess most likely you played the don’t pass before your brother ever rolled

In a mmmbop it really is gone

Thought of something else. Your water heater stays on 24/7.

The only hot water I use in the morning before I go to work is to wash my hands.

If I don’t get home until let’s say 5. I’d need to wash my hands some more but I don’t need hot water until I take my shower at 9.

So really I would be keeping 80 gallons of water hot for 23.5 hrs so I can use ~30 gallons in 15 minutes.

It’s only keeping it at ~120°-140°F (~50°C) compared to 210° (99°C) of the instant hot water tank.

I have a tankless water heater so that’s not a problem for me, but seems crazy thinking about it now.

Which leads me to my next thought. I wonder if they make tankless under sink hot water dispensers?
