You are correct, but to clarify, you are saying the value declined when adjusted for inflation. The DJIA average sat around 900 the about a decade, with the real value getting eaten away by the high inflation of the time.

Yes, there is much more to the story. This is going to be one sided, but this is a faq from the plantiffs with plenty of examples of what the dean was doing; far far beyond just handing out flyers. https://www.lawlion.com/wp

Most people who use beach showers have come out of the ocean. Swimming seems like the primary point of transfer of sunscreen from body -> ocean, not the shower.

A lot of people are thinking like you, and far fewer people are studying petroleum engineering (there is also a negative social stigma), which is leading to a shortage. It will probably lead to even better job prospects for at least another

You’d think so, but if the charge does end up being fraudulent, and customer charges back, not only are you on the hook for the full charge, plus processing fees, plus a $15 dispute fee/penalty. It is why I also cringe when people char

The annoying thing is that the issuer started the problem in the first place. Someone enters a credit card and a bad CVV, Stripe sends it to the bank for validation, it fails, but the bank approves the charge anyway. Now you have an approve

Get natural gas from Canada and the US. North America can supply Europe. Frack in Germany, supply yourself. You have to choose, is Ukraine worth short term financial pain? The choice is to surrender Ukraine to Russia and take the gas, or su

There is generally a negative connotation to race to the bottom. The Investopedia definition captures this: The race to the bottom refers to a competitive situation where a company, state, or nation attempts to undercut the competition

It is fine to use criminal sources, but in this case the criminal was a primary party with a self interest. If you can’t disclose that and still wrote the story, it is a warning that you either need additional sources, or don’t publish.

The US government hasn't been able to resist censorship entirely. Comedians have been arrested for "obscenity". There is a federal law on the books against obscenity, but it has never been used to arrest a comedian. Comedia

Top Gun vs Maverick is a good example. Top Gun has a long, steamy, but non-explicit sex scene. Maverick has an extremely short, clothed, mostly implied sex scene.

In I, Robot, a scene that showed in the European version did not show in the US version. It was a full body nudity shower scene and the point was to show you how extensive his robotic parts were. They had to find some other means to explai

This sounds a little crazy. AIDS was definitely discussed in TV in the 80s. First of all on the news all the time, but in prime time dramas and sitcom as well. CNN documents several examples. https://www.cnn.com/2016/06

It's helpful to look at that case in the context of the time, which was pre-New Deal, more federalist, and the Bill of Rights applied narrowly to the Congress. It was about a state (Ohio) having a censorship board, not federal censorsh

I have the same 1Password / Authy setup, for the same reason. But I have my Authy password in 1Password, so it is kind of an illusion of extra security. I’m strongly considering moving it all into 1Password at this point.

planned obsolence out there I don't think it is planned obsolescence, it is just a race to the bottom on price. At $30, an immersion blender can't have metal gears. Most people value cheapness more than quality, so we get cheap

I think you are missing the unintended consequences of mandating servers stay open if games are purchased. The way to avoid that permanent liability is to just get rid of purchases and force all games into a subscription.
