No one understands what a bidet really is.
In the old days, they were a separate free-standing device. Not a lot of people have space or money to add one of these types of bidets to their bathrooms
Now they make them as toilet seat attachments that don't require extra space and really aren't that expensive.
But people don't know. Older people will be like, "Oh a bidet? No I don't want another toilet like device in my bathroom"
So that gets rid of all those people.
Next you have the people that know about the new style bidets that's just a fancy toilet seat.
Their biggest deterrent is probably cold water. Spraying cold water on their butt doesn't appeal to most people.
You can get bidets that heat the water, but you have to have power behind your toilet, which not everyone has.
Then you have older people that just can't work them or don't feel like they can. Like my grandfather, I installed one with all the bells and whistles for him. Yet hitting a button and doing all that was too complicated. He was 90+ and could barely use a cell phone for basic functions. But he'd rather wipe his butt like he knew than mess with the "complicated" bidet.
Eventually everyone is going to own a bidet, it really is the way to go.
We just aren't there yet.
Best feature in a phone is the Motorola shake flashlight

You lose money using a bondsman
There is a bail bond fee or premium associated with using a bondsman
This is non-refundable to trump.
If he comes up with the cash himself and cuts out the bondsman he would get all his money back from the court after showing up to court.
Bondsman gets all money back if trump shows up to court. They are not losing a penny. But making money because of the fee or premium.
Only way it would make sense is if he was really trying to skip town. Then, losing fee would be less than 10% of the bond.
He didn't forge documents. He just didn't want to tell the protagonist that he was the heir. I believe the letter also told him not to tell. So, in a way, he was fulfilling the dead mother's wishes on that.
Gustav's was failing. Selling cheap food for profit might have been the only way to keep the business afloat. Yes, he tarnishes the name, but sometimes things have to be done, and he might have had to make that hard decision.
Mean and selfish? Yes. Evil? No
Not everyone is cut the same
Some get more, and some get less cut off.
Sounds like you were fortunate and got less cut off.
Circumcision is common in US, mentioning lotion with masterbating is common.
Like you said, no one would use lotion unless they had to.
Genital mutilation is a big deal
People get angry at piercing infant ears, but somehow cutting off foreskin is normal.
What if we were ripping off infant fingernails?
Studies have shown that a lot of bacteria collect under them, and if we removed the fingernails, kids would get sick less.
Why don't you get your appendix removed as an infant?
You wouldn't want to risk it rupturing as an adult
Foreskin is natural. The likelihood of you needing it removed is slim to none.
Just look at all the other countries that don't circumcise. Are all the adults getting circumcised later in life? No.
The problem is you don't know how good it is to have foreskin. It's like you growing up with no fingernails. You wouldn't know how good fingernails were.
Social security would be a ponzi scheme if it wasn't done by the government. System only works because new younger people are "convinced" to put in money to pay the old in hopes that new younger people will pay them in the future.
The social security liability is currently 23 trillion. If no new people started paying in and everyone wanted to cash out, they couldn't get a dime.
We are 33 trillion dollars in debt. 33 trillion.
If we as a country ever tried to cut spending and save money to pay that down, our economy would collapse so fast.
Underrated band that's basically only known for this song, maybe Lump.
I'd suggest Dune Buggy and/or Feather Pluckin'
There's nothing more scary than a person with nothing to lose
So, person that just screwed up their life. Who wants to hire a felon? How is a felon supposed to get to work in Texas without transportation? You're going to now take a large chunk out of their paycheck?
People are struggling in Texas that aren't a felon, can drive a car, and get to keep all their paycheck.
How is a person realistically supposed to overcome basically losing everything?
Driving without a license is this person's last concern, and probably some alcohol will make them feel better...
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
Great game
You pay 20 in cash because you get 20 in cash back if you show up to court
If you take a loan with a bondsman, you lose a fee. 5 of the 20 is lost because you used a bondsman. Only get 15 back after you show up to court.
You don't want to use a bondsman unless you have to
Home library
When all your walls are filled with book shelves, but you don't want a random couch in the middle of the room.
America used lead water pipes
Lead pipes can last 100+ years
America is ~250 years old.
Lead pipes installed in early 1900s would still be functional today.
Yes and no.
If you could put a 1 petabyte flash drive on a pigeon, it would easily crush the gigabit internet
Does a 1 petabyte flash drive exist? Could it exist?
They put 3 stripped-down terabyte flash drives on the pigeon. Could it carry more weight?
You get to the point where the pigeon can't carry the weight.
All this is saying that sending data by pigeon can be faster and using 3 tb sticks proves it.
If it needed to be 4 tb, then they would have had to use 4 sticks. If it couldn't carry 4 sticks, then you have your answer that the pigeon can't do it with current technology.
Oh they definitely advertise to doctors as well
Doesn't even water filter it. 9/10
Pro tip:
Always max hot water (or hot water only if separate) to warm up shower fastest and save water. It's a win win.
Turning it 3/4 or something to desired temperature takes longer to heat up and wastes both hot and cold water.
You could lift the potato without setting off the trap pretty easily
A choosey nose indeed
On my s22+ you can double tap the power button to open up the camera or any app that you'd like automatically.
Motorola shake flashlight was the best. Just a quick chop chop and you'd have a light
I now have a little flashlight button on my lock screen I can slide to turn on the flashlight. Not as convenient but way better than not having it there.
No, because knowing the first child is a boy doesn't tell you any information about the second child.
Three doors, Girl Girl Boy
You select a door and Monty opens a door to show a Girl. You had higher odds of picking a girl door to start (2/3). So switching gives you better odds at changing to the door with the Boy because you probably picked a Girl door.
Here the child being a boy doesn't matter and the other child can be either.
It's 50/50 assuming genders are 50/50.

Gold Standard
Linking money to a material with intrinsic value for it's value
Gold has intrinsic value
US Dollar moved to be a Fiat Currency
US Dollar is backed by a Government
Crypto has zero intrinsic value, not linked to anything with intrinsic value, and not backed by a Government
Crypto is an imaginary "item" some people want to have valve. Value is created because of this want.
US Dollar is legal tinder for all US debts, Crypto is not
Crypto is not a currency but a digital commodity
The idea that people like the extra hour of sunlight in the evening in the summer
Puffy little shoes
That's the whole difference between torx vs Phillips.
Theoretically, you should never break a screw shaft with Phillips because they are designed to cam out before enough torque is applied to break the shaft of the screw.
It's supposed to be a feature
Like fishes
I'm confused at what you mean
Inflation hurts the value of your current money
You always want more money
Giving away a fee would just mean he has less less worthless money
Best case scenario for him is he feels like keeping liquid capital is worth more than the fee and no one wanted to post bail for him.
$20k. Some people he knows just cracked a bottle of wine worth that. Yet none of them would post his bail.
That's more telling than him just using a bail bondsman.
Let's say they outlawed it
Do you think:
A:They round up
B:They round down
In reality, it might save us .1 cent
You have to have grown up with it and gained an unconditional love of the characters. You don't care that they are an asshole to a character you don't like.
Look at Kramer he is so stupid he can't figure out a washing machine! Lol he's going to try to pour a bunch of detergent in next and act like he's drunk because he's that stupid! He's so funny!
Edit: Remembered it wrong. He was pouring concrete into the washing machine. Classic asshole
I have Dewalt/Ryobi battery tools
Ryobi usually lacks features
Take for example an oscillating saw
With my dewalt oscillating saw I can swap a blade or change the angle of the blade in 1 second because you just push down a lever. On the ryobi, you have to break out an allen wrench (which is stored in the tool) and loosen a bolt.
Someone that might use the saw once every blue moon might not care that much, but someone who uses it every day it is a big deal.
Also quality, Ryobi tools just feel cheaper.
I buy important tools in dewalt and less important tools in Ryobi. Like my small leaf blower is Ryobi. No need to pay extra for the dewalt one because it's just for quickly blowing off my walkway or front porch steps. If I need to move a lot of stuff I use my gas backpack blower, which is also Ryobi. Only problem I've ever had with it is the cord snapped a couple times, I think it has to do with how it rubs the grommet. Replaced the last time with a more heavy duty cord and haven't had a problem since. Always starts in less than 3 pulls and very powerful.
There are cons to Ryobi tools, but when looking at the top of the barrel tools the only con is usually the price.
I had enough credits to get 3 degrees from my university in 4 years with a semester of community college too, but they said they only give out 2 main degrees or 1 main 2 minors.
Anonymous...
Distributed ledger...
It's not really anonymous.
John Smith or 253832893 means exactly the same thing without more context. The only way you can tell you have the right John Smith is because we have 253-83-2893 as a social security number (lol social security system).
But if I see 253832893 on the Crypto ledger, I know 253832893 made a transaction. It could say John Smith and I'd be basically in the same spot of figuring out who it was.
Now, if 253832893 wallet paid a home mortgage for John Smith with Crypto, then I'd be closer to figure out who owns 253832893 wallet.
The whole point to Crypto is the block chain and the fact that they are very traceable.
Crypto can be anonymous if you're smart and you don't link yourself to your wallet. But once you are linked to a wallet, it is far from anonymous.
If John Smith wanted to sell me cocaine. Handing him cash is basically untraceable and anonymous. Sending him Crypto ties my wallet to his wallet with a transaction. If the cops seized his wallet and somehow figured out my wallet, they could tell every single time I purchased cocaine from him.
Yes, you can do your best to keep your name unlinked to your wallet number. But it's not foolproof. For example, if I was buying cocaine I wouldn't use my main Crypto wallet but a side wallet. If you only used it to pay for cocaine and filled the side wallet in an untraceable way. It's pretty anonymous.
But to those people that fill their Crypto wallets with their bank account and just think they are anonymous, they have another thing coming if someone wants to trace them.
Let's say an 18 year old moves out and starts renting
The average rent in US is 1.5k
30 years of payment is 540k
When that person is 48, they would have paid 540k in rent expenses
This is assuming that rent doesn't increase
Throwing 600k out the window before you're even 50 is not a recipe for success
76 is US average life expectancy. That's ~25 more years of rent.
If they retire at 63. 13 years of 1.5k a month rent is 234k. They need a quarter million in retirement funds just for rent to live up until 76.
45 years of working for that 18 year old would need to make ~750k.
That's 16.5k a year just to pay for rent
Again this is assuming rent never goes up.
That's 8 dollars an hour 40 hours a week every week.
10% more than minimum wage, just for rent.
It's crazy
And this assumes you die and don't have to rent after the age of 76
Sending someone to a work camp is more humane than taking their life?
Imagine being so incapable of washing your penis that you need a bunch of it removed.
They should have said "Imagine being so incapable of washing your child's penis that you need a bunch of it removed."
A child's penis in a dirty diaper could get quite nasty with foreskin if the parents don't wash and change the diaper regularly.
The cleanliness thing is for the lack of parenting. And the parents make that choice.
7+6
You need 3 to get to 10. 3 left over. 10+3=13.
I'd split up the 6 into (3,3) in my head
Same thing as 7+3+3
