I was taught the triangle method in high school and never got a good grasp of it. In college, we used the unit circle method. It is so much more intuitive. Memorizing the unit circle and all the values of sin and cos is so much easier becau

There were people online who recommended using dorco blades as they were cheaper than other shaving brands (blades have been overpriced). DSC took advantage of that idea and used good marketing to build their very profitable business.

Some people get all their news from Facebook. I personally wouldn’t trust news on there but a large number of people believe all the stuff their friends are posting and the biased news they see.

I'm not exactly sure how it works but people are able to take much more than $2000 on margin. If you saw on the Robinhood reddit after XIV crashed, there are people who owe over $30,000. Maybe someone else can chime in on how the &qu

We're at the top of the market. Their capitalizing on that. Bad investors will make bad decisions on any platform. When we hit a recession, all these people will pull out just like any other recession. We'll see them back 7 yea

With interest rates being so low, they don’t have that either. What are they going to do? Lower it below zero? Just wondering how high they can get it before the next recession.

My office has multiple kitchens that are always pretty clean. Everyone washes what they use and clean up after themselves. I don’t see why it should be different anywhere else. Some people just aren’t good at being responsible.

Muscle milk in the pre-packaged bottles tastes really "chemically" to me for some reason. I buy it when I forget my shaker bottle but I really wish I had other options for that situation. Does the powder have that same effect?

Fiber no longer makes sense. The cost of laying cables is extremely high and 5g wireless is on pace to deliver similar speeds without the same costs. Google reallocated resources to wireless when they reduced them for fiber.

Home values are extremely inflated from the low interest rates. Credit became so cheap so people could “afford” much more expensive homes. As rates go back up, housing prices SHOULD fall. I worry they won’t though and people will no longer

Heroin addiction is 90% looking for or doing something to get more. It’s an incredible time sink. It’s impossible to have a meaningful life like that. What medically administered heroin does is allow people to get that time back so they can

It isn't "hassled." The way sales people interact with you at normal stores is nothing like the interaction at a higher end store. If you don't want to be bothered in a high end store, you aren't bothered.

Most people don't look further than the stock price and if they like the company. In that case, it is gambling. People think they don't have to spend any time and they should get a good return. Like Peter Lynch says, most people

Jealousy, anger, etc. Sadly, it’s the nature of people. Can’t assume from the context but I know some people who might do that.
