That's kinda debatable.

Rockefeller alone accounted for as much as 3% of the US GDP at one point. That would be like 800 billion today. It's difficult to just draw a straight line of inflation on his net worth from his height to today, because the economy has fundamentally changed since then. Partially because of how fucking ruthless of a motherfucker he was.

Imagine if all cars were electric, and Tesla was ultimately the only source of electricity for everything you own. And Elon basically said if you don't vote for his guy he'll shut off the lights. And had done exactly that before.

Rockefeller, and others like him, also purchased their fair share of elected officials and if you worked for them, it was understood you voted for the guy they wanted. Or there would be consequences.

Head of garlic in to 2 sticks of butter on the stove, in to the potatoes when they're ready. Skins and all.

Nommmmmm

Kinda depends how you like your potatoes. I generally like them a little lumpy, but I think the twelve or so of us in the lumpy crew nationwide lose that fight every Thanksgiving.

But! The ineffective ass potato masher does a real good job of breaking up ground meat in to super tiny bits in the pan for stuff like Taco meat.

Is it really Plato or just his shadow?

Shout out to Physics Girl Dianna. Who is still bedridden.

Your oil gauge really shouldn't be moving a whole lot. That's a feature, not a bug. The information you need is too cold, too hot, or just right. Knowing the exact temperature might obfuscate the important data. 99.9999% of the time, your oil temperature is within operating temperatures. You really only need to know when it isn't.

Kind of the same thing for oil pressure, you either have enough, or you don't. There's no need to buy a quart of oil just to throw half of it in the car. That warning comes early, it's "you need to go get oil in the car you're currently driving, make that the next thing you do." Not "you're out of oil pull over."

If you ever see an externally mounted oil reservoir, it will have two lines. One near the top, and one a ways from the bottom for max and minimum fills. If the machine that's connected to has a sensor, it goes off well before that minimum fill line, and that minimum fill line leaves enough oil in the reservoir to lubricate everything it's lubricating multiple times over before it runs dry.

I would argue that half the army recruits can only do two out of the three of those, and half them only one at a time.

Lmao what penalty.

Gyms typically want your checking information, rather than your card to avoid exactly that.

So you just have to go to the counter and tell them to remove your payment information and when they don't, (they'll say they have but you'll magically get another change months later) then report them to your bank for fraud.

They'll get a hold of you real fuckin fast.

When they take your checking account details they're required by law to remove them from your system when you ask.

Depends, African or European?

Hey if the batteries are that old you should replace them anyway. Every year or two it needs new ones. They will eventually start leaking battery acid and fuck up a good flashlight

That's far more than I want from a flashlight.

On/off. That's literally all it needs to do. I'd like to be able to plug it in and charge it but quite frankly if I can't get that without it just going on/off with the single press of a button I'll replace batteries until the day I fucking die.

I use a pocket flashlight daily. It is an integral part of my job. I use flashlight in a wide variety of light conditions and different levels of reflectivity.

I have never wanted my flashlight to flash on and off, change brightness, or any of the other random crap they force in to what should be the simplest tool in my toolbox.

Press button. Change state of light. That is literally the only thing it needs to do.

Fastenal them nuts amirite??!

MSC?

Yes and no

The system was always supposed to protect those in power from those without. The system is designed so that the masses have extremely limited power to remove people like trump if the people with money want him there.

Good news! The damage is reversible, we just need to lower carbon emissions to pre industrial levels! We can band together to defeat the evil weather man!

Can you dumb it down a little doc?

It is. Fat and sugar are not the same thing. Hot pockets contain about 25 grams of fat and 10 grams of sugar. Depending on the product. The label does not indicate any HFCS but the effect described above would be achieved with any sugar and most sugar substitutes.

The majority of calories from hot pockets are from empty carbs, and that is what's causing you to feel hungry after eating them. 72g of carbs to 43g of combined fat and protein, and only 2g of fiber.
