Also, the annual repair costs are probably assuming you have someone else do them. I think that's a reasonable expectation for most people, but it can be quite a bit less if you can do some of them yourself. I'm pretty sure I av

You're assuming that if all states had taken the same approach, they would have all taken the best approach. You're correct that one hypothetical outcome is that 5500-8800 more people died. However, another outcome is that the e

I found it to be a really interesting tour. I think it's free, as well.

You're assuming that edits made from within an organization are sanctioned and/or part of some propaganda or cover-up plot. I'm sure that many of the edits are just random people making the edits while at work. I have certa

Definitely. 16 kg is a large quantity for someone who isn't sure how much they are going to be baking. But it's not a lot of money. Easily less than 10 £/€/US$/AU$.

I recently had a good type playing a Pictionary-type game with friends here: https://www.drawasaurus.org/ You can also join a room with people you don't know and play a quick game.

That comes from the German-speaking settlements/immigrants in Wisconsin. In German the verb turnen is to exercise or do gymnastics. And a Turnhalle is a place you go to do that.

This definitely depends on who you spend a lot of time around, and where you consume your news/media/entertainment from. I experience the opposite. Where I only hear mostly negative things about the US, and positive things about

Most people just wouldn't have taken that job. You could argue that would be better because it leaves it open for someone who needs it more.

When I was unemployed after my first job out of college, I was making a little over $420/week on unemployment. I ended up taking a manufacturing job where I made $10/hour for a 40hr/week job. So I made less money by working

If by we, you mean two people, then it's $1200/week for the both of you. So that leaves you $2600/month after housing (maybe not including taxes, utilities, repairs). That doesn't seem too bad. Also, you're talkin

A person with no dependents and no health issues can easily live on that pretty much anywhere in the US. However, if you have to support children, or need health insurance, or health care, then it could be difficult.

This looks like a really nice introduction. And it looks like there's not too much to learn before writing basic programs for the NES (I could be wrong). A simple environment with static hardware makes it less intimidating to jump in

I don't usually point out mistakes in non-native speakers' writing because I know most people will perceive it the way that you do. However, I always wish that people would correct me when I make a mistake in a foreign language.

I would be surprised if the majority of the people who downvoted the comment have actually lived in Sweden. It's more likely it was because the comment wasn't (initially) specific, or because it didn't match the universally

I think many people don't realize how expensive games and consoles were 20-40 years ago. I remember paying $70 for a few different SNES games back in the 90's ($110 now based on a quick inflation check). Are there any computer o

I've never heard of anyone associating the word "hippy" with being a minority. It's more about beliefs, behavior, and culture.

Is meeting a stranger in a public place actually dangerous, or do people just feel that it's dangerous? What is the worst that is likely to happen if two people meet up in a cafe or city park?

That's not really an exception for years. It means something different. Twelve hundred is a single number, 1200. Twelve-hundreds is a range from 1200-1299. You can also do the same thing with many other ranges (e.g. house numbers).

But is that based on research performed, or just a "better safe than sorry" statement? Have they (or anyone) ever seen a seat fail prematurely or perform worse due to being involved in multiple accidents? That page doesn't

Book rate is not what it costs the USPS to ship books, it's what it costs for an individual to ship books. So it's still possible that it's too expensive to make sense.

One thing I like about running barefoot is that it forces you to ramp up slowly, because the soles of your feet are the limiting factor (blisters, abrasion, etc. ) If you're already in good shape and want to get into running it can be
