It's not that you asked for a link, it's your low effort way of asking that implies you are already skeptical of the information.

"Hey! I googled to look for it and I'm having a hard time finding where it officially says the statute. Mind sharing a link?"

They probably would have said "No problem. Let me google that for you. Here..."

You can take 1% of anything, then multiply as well.

Like 7% of 15.50

1% is .155 (10% is moving decimal to left once, 1% is twice)

.155 × 7 = 1.083

That's a hard one to do in your head, but .155 × 7 is easier to do on paper than 15.50 × .07.

Say something is 49.99 and 7% off. 1% is .5. .5 ×7 = 3.5. You could probably do that in your head. Otherwise, good luck trying to do 7% of 50 in your head.

Edit: Hmm. So you could also do 3.5% of 100 instead of 7% of 50. That would have been the easiest way to do that one.

Bonus: I thought I'd mention 11s. They are my favorite thing in math because they are so easy and you seem like a math wizard to anyone.

Say you have 42 × 11. That's 462.

You just split apart the 4 and 2, add 4 and 2, then stick it in the middle.

Something like 67 × 11. Where the digits add >10.

6...7, 6+7=13, 6+1...3...7. So 737.

You can remove the decimal then add it back at the end

15.50

Is

1500

Half would be 775

Or 7.75

Jake being bad at acting could have been a shtick

Like "Jake you're famous now! We need you to do commercials!" Jake "But I can't act!"

libertery mutual, a company that is referenced in the meme, even does this with a real actor that acts like he can't act.

Jake from state farm was supposed to be a normal dude. Him not being an actor probably makes his delivery that much better

Replacing Jake with a professional actor seems wrong. It's no longer "Jake"

Not saying I don't like the song. Great song

Just the song hits slightly different after you realize what "Relax, turn around and take my hand" can mean.

Stinkfist - Tool

You think from the title it would be obvious. Never thought why it was named like that until after I realized what the song was about.

Don't think of anything real

My favorite trick is to think of myself in a movie and play it out. I commonly put myself in Harry Potter. I walk up to the hogwarts castle door...then I just have fun making stuff up and playing it out like a movie in my head. Next thing I know, I'm asleep.

If I get too far, I just pick a different movie and start over

The worst thing you can do while falling asleep is thinking about the real world. The present, past, or future. Nope, don't think about it.

Clear your mind and jump start a dream

Gender assignment surgery

They would probably be against that too though

Looks based off his famous baseball card

Imagine it like a car steering wheel.

You'd say turning the wheel to the right turns the car right.

Think of it like this. Like your hand is holding on the top of the steering wheel.

I saw it as

1. Stick figure in bed
2. Blowjob
3. Piledriver
4. Rest
5. Blowjob
6. Resume piledriver

I thought it was funny when i first saw it. I see the whole car thing now after reading the comment. So maybe the stick figure never leaves his house and just gets blowjobs. They could be a sex worker that takes money for letting other stick figures suck their stick. And they are waiting for their next client in-between. Or the stick figure in the first frame is the one giving blowjobs and waiting.

"The 3PO-series protocol droid, also known as the 3PO-series protocol unit, was a model of protocol droid produced by Cybot Galactica sometime prior to the Invasion of Naboo. They were equipped with a TranLang III communication module, and as a result were fluent in over 6 million forms of communication. C-3PO was an example of this model, though he was rebuilt out of spare parts. TC-series protocol droids appeared similar to 3PO units."

Wookieepedia

There are a ton of 3PO-series droids in the Star Wars universe.

Vader would not look at a 3P0 droid and think "maybe that's the droid I built as a child and left on a plant in the outer rim"

Same with R2-D2

It's just for the movie sake that there aren't 30 CP0s and 50 R2-D2 units running around in the background. "Wait did Biggs just get R2 in his x-wing?" No, it's some completely different droid I've never seen. Some things have to be adapted for the movie.

As for difficulty, no harder than building like a PC. If there are a ton of CP0 units, he simply takes working parts from a dozen broken ones and pieces them together. He's a child, they fib and stretch the truth. He could have just attached new legs to the unit that needed only legs and then went through the setup process of "programing" him.

He didn't Tony Stark C3P0. He pieced together a robot from pre-made CP0 scrap parts.

I mean, technically, anything can go illiterate

We have had weather modification technology for 20+ years.

First known use in war was in 1967, called Operation Popeye.

Now could the government create a category 5 hurricane? Very farfetched.

It's crazy to think that God intervened at the last possible second.

Like maybe give a hint to the SS that the guy was on the roof?

Like maybe make the gun jam or misfire?

Nope, God said, "I'm going to let the bullet graze his ear, lol. Oh yeah, Corey Comperatore, I'm just not going to intervene on that one..."

Trump could have at least made it in memory of Corey Comperatore. But nope, he's got to make it about only himself.

Crazy thing is he has to give a 70.23% discount for people to even think about buying a pillow

50 dollars for the world's best pillow is a steal

Something you use every night that can actually help with sleep and health. You shouldn't be skimping on your pillow.
