So I recently finished TOS and am about to finish the first season of TNG. All of this is just to say, I’m excited to see this episode only because you keep posting the meme (aptly). I’m actually kinda waiting to see when his goatee appears in the first place

Please, no spoilers anyone! I’m really enjoying the journey

I’ve learned a lot from your comments, much appreciated!

I searched “Bigamy and DV charge” first; then searched “DV charge” before I got my answer. I’m just saying that you’re not the only one who didn’t know the acronym

If I had scrolled another comment down, I would’ve had my my answer. So I appreciate ya asking for everyone else who doesn’t know

He has Vladdy issues

Keep the masses divided and all that jazz

Ahh, that’s a really good point! I forget about the “X% of Y = Y% of X”

Honestly, I normally just use a calculator quick (move the decimal twice, multiply and all that jazz) for weird percentages or I want a precise answer.

But I like knowing different ways of thinking about it because it can become easier than using a calculator (with practice). And it’s fun, cause I’m a bit of a math nerd

Thank you! That’s pretty neat. I tried 27% of 65

I added two 10% increments (6.5+6.5)… but instead of adding 0.65 (1%) seven more times, I added a 5% increment (6.5/2 = 3.25) and then 2 increments of 1%

So 6.5+6.5+3.25+0.65+0.65 = 17.55

I still had to use a calculator to add those weird numbers (and also check my work), but it does seem really practical for easier numbers. I usually need percentages for pricing (i.e. discounts/tipping), and the percentages are normally in increments of 5%, so that’s pretty useful for figuring out a 15% or 75% of something real quick… or at least get me really close (when talking about something like $X.99)

Regardless, I appreciate the head trick!

Edit: I guess I could’ve done 30% and then subtracted 1% twice; but it’s the same issue (of adding weird numbers) with the same outcome anyway. So thanks again!

We always joke, wondering, “Is it cats or kids” when hearing screaming (like kids playing, or cats fighting). Sometimes, it really is hard to discern

Nope! It’s a whole new fanny pack world for you to re-create

Use a fanny pack. It’s ok to wear them again and will put you ahead of the “cool” curve

I appreciate the play on words. I was referencing a song, but now I can only see someone (literally) resting their tits on a radio… and it’s a pretty funny image lol

But “you can’t see tits on the radio”

I prefer it colder when I sleep, but am usually comfortable up until about 72°F (22°C) during the day. But I live in the Southeastern US, so hot (and humid) is something you adapt to.

Outside, it’s currently 93°F (~34°C), humidity of 55% and the “feels like temp” is 105°F (40.6°C). We’re under a heat advisory until 19:00, which is common in the summer

Unfortunately… the new place I’m renting has an A/C that can’t keep up. Sometimes, it’ll reach 79°F (26°C) with the A/C just running up my electric bill non-stop. It’s somehow bearable though, and doesn’t feel as hot as I would expect, so that’s good. Blackout curtains, some fans, and a portable A/C in one room if you need to cool back down (like after a shower); it’s manageable/comfortable enough, until we can find something else.

It’s not my preference, but I guess being acclimated to the heat down here at least helps a bit. Can’t wait to move somewhere a little more arid, maybe with a true 4 seasons kind of weather

Sorry, when I said “So that’s fun”, I was being sarcastic

But that’s kinda what I was trying to get at. You don’t really know if a scammer is being trafficked or not, so casting a wide net that calls all of them human garbage becomes difficult

And a large portion of them are being trafficked for slave labor; so that’s fun

I’m nether and love both… is that cultural appropriation or appreciation? Idk, I’m just kinda a fatty

Even bad press is still press? I don’t have an opinion on Stonehenge yet; I’m pretty sure the art they “defaced” was only the protective casing; and I haven’t researched them enough to form a true opinion of my own

But now I’m curious as to whether (or not) “I think” their motives are “ignorant” or somehow “nefarious” at times. I’ve seen them in the news for a while now, and I haven’t always agreed with their course of action… sometimes I believe it to be too impulsive. But they’re still doing it. They’ve forced a discussion that keeps the issue in the forefront, and now it has me wanting to look-into their situation more. And I do believe-in what they’re advocating, even if I’m not sure it’s the “correct” way to do it

Yet here we are, talking about it. “There’s no such thing as ‘Bad Press’”, I guess? Are they right?.. maybe. Are they detracting from the plight?.. also, maybe. Am I sure of my opinion of their protests?.. no, not really. Seems like something I’ll have to read more about.

So maybe, mission accomplished (in-progress)? Idk, but I see the merit regardless of their actions

I feel like I gotta derail for half-a-spell: Perogies are amazing and one of my comfort foods.

That is all

That’s nobody’s business but the Turks.

But do they know the difference between Istanbul and Constantinople?
