There’s a saying that humans only understand three probabilities: 0%, 50%, and 100%. So if 90% of people who are rich were born into wealth and 90% of all people are not wealthy, what does that mean?

Usually the knee-jerk response is to say that it’s equally easy for rich and poor to end up wealthy, or sarcastically claim that it’s supposedly impossible to become wealthy if you were poor.

Statistically, it’d mean that while 10% of rich people were self-made, they’d only represent 1% of the overall population, meaning it’d be roughly 100 times more likely for someone who wasn’t born wealthy to remain poor.

These are gross oversimplifications with numbers that are not based on fact, but it’s just a simple example to show that something can be possible in a system where certain people are disadvantaged and it doesn’t detract from the fact that systemic issues exist.

And how do you propose to create this organization and get countries to agree on its legitimacy?

I am offended by this.

It’s obviously z = boobs.

Highly recommend it, Tina Fey is an icon. Just beware that you’ll be quoting her character more often than you’ll notice yourself.

I did indeed, thanks for pointing it out.

Elon Musk is very likely a supporter of eugenics and since he’s also a narcissist who thinks he’s better than everyone else, it makes sense that he’s obsessed with spreading his genes.

Just remember to conveniently ignore actually raising those kids, and those who happen to not fit his mold of what a person should be like (e.g. if they happen to be trans or see through a modicum of his bullshit)

And not even by otherwise closely related geographical regions. The Nordics, one of the world’s most internally cooperative group of countries, have Sweden and Denmark using the English British system, and Finland and Norway using the British American system.

Edit: I’m a dumbass

Solely? Solely?

Ahh, waking up at 3 AM in a puddle of your own sweat and being unable to fall back asleep cause you get to choose between the heat that made you sweat to begin with or the freezing cold wet.

A gallon?

DC actually has a higher “let go” threshold than AC does so you’d likely be more okay from a slightly higher voltage DC shock than a lower voltage AC shock.

Have you seen the Thunder Sting reboot of Lord of the Ring? I’ve heard that Frodo hangs dong.

Where? I have never experienced this before.

I mean…

The IEEE reference style guide actually often works just like this, the entire reference is just a number in brackets in the text and then the details of the reference is in the bibliography at the end. For example

...a high correlation as shown in [5]... 



[5]     A.N. Author, P. Ostdoc, and O. Verworked "A paper about a thing" Department, University, City, etc. 

I’d just like to note that a lot of storage technologies that are currently in the pilot project stage are based on using components with existing supply lines to minimize the time and effort needed to scale up production.

What do you mean AC “lets you go”? AC causes muscle contractions which keep you from, for example, letting go of a live wire.

Agreed, I’ve unfortunately not been able to find it anywhere else though.

The only valid UwU

In my experience, cold woman is cold for about 8 seconds after she’s fallen asleep, then she turns into a living furnace and man turns into living sweat.
