Thanks for this! I think it's the clearest visualization explanation I've ever heard for i

The white lotus. I didn't like season 3's theme as much as the first 2's but I still like to listen

There are age requirements for federal government positions and none of them are 40. President is 35, senator is 30, and house rep is 25.

Definitely some greed. One grocery store here charges 50% more than the other just because (imagine: it's a Kroger owned store). Neither store is a discount or lower-end store either. Ridiculous.

And coincidentally (or no really coincidentally at all), OP's pic looks like a Kroger owned store too based on the price tag and the inconvenience sticker. Shocker that they'd charge that price 🙄

$5/dozen for the average brand near Chicago (in Indiana), and $8/dozen i think for the more expensive brand

Neither I believe it's Hamilton County, the (comparatively) rich suburb of Indianapolis.

Sure, but I think the point is that raising minimum wage didn't cause that. Inflation (read: corporate greed) really harmed grocery, food, etc. prices, especially during the pandemic. It truly became a game of how much can we raise these prices until people consider not paying for it

That if you weren't part of "our" religion (my family's religion, Catholic), you were basically living your life wrong and were an awful person. When I went to college I met people who believed different things, including in nothing, and I realized they were not, in fact, terrible, almost subhuman, people. I quickly changed for the better and that's one of the best things to ever happen to me. It's amazing how accepting you can be when you just accept people for who they are

That's right: usually. Sometimes no. Or sometimes the volume of water only slowly drains away (like some rivers move extremely slowly and it's almost as if it's not moving at all). If it takes 3 days for the water in the normally filled river to move 1 mile, even if it takes 2 days with the flooded valley to drain instead of 3, that's still 2 days of floods.

Imagine you drop a bunched up shirt onto the floor. If you look, you'll see that there are lower spots surrounded on all sides of high spots. Terrain irl is not so different from that in spots. Hope this helps explain :)

If a 400 sq mi area gets 2 ft of rain and there's a low valley area surrounded mostly by mountains, the water will drain down the mountainsides to the valley. It's like a big bowl. The water that settles in the valley will be more than 2 ft because of the rest of the runoff from even higher elevations

It depends how close you sit to your TV and how large the TV is. I can tell a difference if I'm close enough or if the screen is large enough. As well, try turning on a streamed 1080p show and using a 4k bluray (if you have all of thrsr things). When you stand close (like, closer than you'd watch), you can really see the difference. As you back away, it becomes less noticeable, but even at comfortable viewing distances people can see the difference

You can see an example on your phone. Try watching a video in 1080p and then 480p. You should notice a difference, even if you hold your phone a foot from your face it's the same idea when watching on a tv.
