That might be the worst salute I've ever seen.

Some context might provide the distinction.

  • Adam: "Jane told me that he licked her asshole."

    • Jane: "I never said he licked my asshole." <-- He never licked my asshole, and I never claimed that he did. Adam is lying about both parts.
    • Jane: "I never said he licked my asshole." <-- He licked my asshole, but I never told anyone that he did. Adam learned about the asshole-licking from someone other than me.

White House demands firing if deliberate

Ok. You're fired. Pack your shit, hand the nuclear keys to Corporal Couchfucker, and GTFO.

Paracetamol" takes the "para" part, and then a few other random letters that don't really make sence.

Because it actually comes from a different chemical name for the same compound: para-acetylaminophenol

That sounds about right. About 1 in 87 will die from suicide in general. 1 in 57 will OD. 1 in 6 from heart disease; 1 in 7 from cancer.

1 in 156 will kill themselves with a gun. 1 in 238 will be killed with a gun. (This includes FAFO deaths that could be prevented if people understood that a lethal threat justifies a lethal response.)

Americans know "paracetamol" about as well as you apparently know "acetaminophen".

They are the same compound.

"Paracetamol" is the generic term used in Europe and Australia. "Acetaminophen" is the generic term commonly used in the Americas.

Way fewer is a bit of an understatement. They are off by 5 orders of magnitude.

It's roughly 1 in 10,440,000.

I think it would impact poverty, but not for the reason you think, I expect people would vote differently, and that would have an impact on poverty.

That's actually exactly what I think. A much greater focus on facts and figures. A whole lot less emphasis on feels.

I'm more concerned about the lack of basic arithmetic literacy at this point. There would probably be a fair bit less poverty with a broader understanding of numbers.

Fair enough. So, at the end of the first year, there are at least 365 bullet wounds among 400 people? Every year, 330 million Americans are treated for bullet holes?

The math suggests I should be surviving a gunshot wound every 16 months or so. That doesn't seem to match my life experience.
