Counterstrike: counterintuitive but dealing with the toxicity and probably getting massacred by smurfing players (or cheaters) still is a good outlet for the day's stress.

I like this take as you take into account the human element, but might even take it a step further in that this kind of knowledge could actually be good for more people to know this cost. Especially if cost is an issue, could help families work together in easy ways for a common goal. Maybe it's not worth it to say anything during a heat wave to save a few bucks, but on a cooler week maybe open some windows to save some cash sans suffering.

Extreme example: as a dad I feel a cultural obligation to get upset when random lights are left on when no ones in the room (not really, but does beg the question of why) - when you actually do the math on led lights it ends up something insignificant, like a cent. Not an issue that really deserves any attention.

I mean, double digits are really high numbers for some!

Not a coffee creamer fan, and don't like sweet coffee, but I can totally agree that if I wanted (for some reason) my coffee to taste like a twix, or a Snickers, or a pop tart, I would be kind of disappointed if it were so weak. I am guessing it's probably due to the assumption by the manufacturer that people are going to use a whole lot more of the creamer than he does, so to make those flavors stronger would overpower the drink.

Looking into where the blog got the results for the navy seals data, it appears to link back to a law firm specializing in divorces, and it's not very clear where that firm even got the data, as it is summarized without a lot of citations. If anyone can track down where the original study data is, sharing would be really great to confirm what they are saying.

Looking at the summary they provided though, seems even among other service members, navy seals were an outlier (with rates reported around 4% or less across the branches for active duty personnel). Did they look into what lead to that disparity? Maybe it's the type of assignments, or maybe something is being selected in the candidates?

Always like the ones that get you down a rabbit hole... Most are apparently on the order of a couple of days to produce, utilizing a less compact weave at the expense of some durability and finish, but are much more affordable than the thousands that the more high end ones can cost (more around the $100 mark at the low end). Still likely an order of magnitude more than the artisan gets...

Also thought that with such a high price there would be a lot of fakes, which does appear to be a problem. Linked a site below that seemed to summarize well with photos some of those characteristics, if anyone else is interested. Can't say I'm in the market for a several hundred dollar straw hat, but to each their own!
