I don’t think breakfast needs to be that immediate? The dish prepared here almost certainly took a minimum of 30, if not 45+ minutes to make, and there’s no indication it was immediately after waking. Breakfast can be a bit later.

Yes

I hope you are able to outrun it one day. Or even perhaps out smart it. Idk, I’ve never been on a hunt. I assume those would be ways to survive.

Good point, i totally misunderstood the “picture this” lead in. Yeah it’s a completely feasible situation though it does seem extreme.

I don’t know how accurate this is. Every time i try googling this, i get multiple help forums (brand website, Microsoft help, reddit discussions) for how to troubleshoot, with no ads for new laptops. While i typically provide a more specific search (e.g. my laptop brand and model won’t boot), i tried googling “my laptop won’t turn on” and received similar, albeit less specific, suggestions.

I wonder if the original poster often searches for laptop prices to find deals and maybe it defaulted to that?

To be fair, about that women’s world cup team, if i recall correctly it was a PR move to play an exhibition match with those kids and they were not trying very hard to win. I don’t think they would truly lose to U-15 if it was, for example, a tournament.

Your overall point has merit but i think that specific example gets overused a bit.

That’s not an analogy at all, as it’s completely different from what i said earlier. I’m not trying to prove that Earth is moving amazingly fast, I’m trying to show how the headline seems grander than it is.

I also don’t think a lot of people realize quite how fast the Earth is moving through space. Saying a million miles an hour really does seem impressive if you don’t have that information. But as we speak, we are literally hurtling through space at half that pace.

If we weren’t orbiting the sun we would end up orbiting something else at a different speed.

This would be similar to saying that San Bernardino county in California is 20000 sq mi, or about 50k km squared. It’s just a number without context. But if i told you it’s a county that is it was bigger than both the country of Switzerland and US State of West Virginia, that’s added context for size comparison. The way that California divides its county structure does not invalidate this comparison, and is irrelevant.

I’m not really sure what your intent or point is here.

I don’t think that’s entirely fair to say. The headline reads sensationally about a celestial object, but our own sun is traveling at almost half that speed, and we’re following it. I’m not trying to prove that the Earth is incredibly fast, only that the headline may sound more impressive than it is.

Isn’t the sun revolving around the center of the milky way at approximately 450,000 mph? And the Earth revolves around the sun, so we’re moving about half as fast as this new object right now. One million is pretty fast, but context makes it a little less shocking.

Not a reddit fan anymore, but this makes me think of r/portugalcykablyat

If you travel, you’ll find very interesting combinations of flavors. As a few modest examples, I recently came upon paprika flavored and cheese and onion flavored Pringles, and awhile back i had sake flavored kit kats.

Travel more! Plenty of flavor experimentation going on

I think the joke is that a dominatrix is meant to, well, dominate their client (sexually). Think like with whips and chains, for example. Unfortunately, everything in her house, even the ficus, dominates her. It’s a bad first impression and she appears to be unfit for the role.

Looks like a Milchkaffee, which is kinda like a cafe au lait

They’re saying that allegedly, Christians are not big on voting, and this statement is meant to encourage those non voters to come vote just this once and everything will get better. Then you can go back to being a non voter.

I think.

Horrible wording no matter how you slice it, though.

Some companies give stock as a primary benefit. Some of those companies may provide stock in lieu of some or all of a salary. That doesn’t mean it’s necessary valuable - they typically give you some amount of stock equal to a part of your salary (or some other normal monetary amount), and you would be hopeful the value increases substantially over time.

Just the fact that the other person has stock from their time being employed by Disney is no indicator of their wealth. You can own partial stock as well. It could be worth $50. We don’t know.

I feel like the wealthy people you see are the ones who either get excitement from flaunting it or from lying about it (for example, mtv cribs was all fake). There are plenty of stories (yes i know they’re just stories) about multi millionaires who drive the same old truck, wear regular blue jeans, and have a nice quiet (albeit larger than average) home.

It’s not crazy at all. I just think we see the outliers more frequently than not because they want us to see them.

I appreciate it, thank you. Yeah fair points

I disagree with it being heroic, but i really appreciate the sentiment. I imagine more people would do it if it was more affordable. I’ve gotten some flack from my family for it being costly (minimal flack, more like a double check), but it’s worth it (and they understand once i explain it).

I spent a lot of money to install solar, got new efficient windows, and got a heat pump to reduce gas usage. I’m thankful to have the financial freedom to make these decisions, as well as to have referrals for affordable options.

We’re trying to be better about plastic usage and waste in our household.

I did these to reduce my energy usage. They’ll save money long term eventually, but not enough to be worth it monetarily. I can’t control much but i can at least try to do what i think is better.

Ha, i am somewhat familiar with the genre, i just wanted to contribute :) studied ancient rome, so that is legit what i typically think of when i hear goth.
