I honestly wanted to walk when I heard that but my mom and her husband wanted to still give them a chance.
You must be young. You need to find someone with sense to help you with the car buying process. Your mom and her husband are not it if they still hadn’t figured out the dealership and sales guy were shady at that point.
Agreed. From his statement, it sounds like he was giving a general example, not attempting to recall the specific animals he was shown. I say this as someone who thinks trump sounds like he is mentally unwell. Heck, this is downright coherent compared to a lot of the gibberish that comes out of his mouth.
“I think it was 35, 30 questions,” the former president said in Portsmouth, N.H., of the test, which he said involved a few animal identification queries. “They always show you the first one, like a giraffe, a tiger, or this, or that — a whale. ‘Which one is the whale?’ Okay. And that goes on for three or four [questions] and then it gets harder and harder and harder.”
Elevated blood pressure is a common alcohol withdrawal symptom, but it looks like 9 days may be a long time for this symptom to last. As you’ve already seen from others, talking to a dr is probably a good idea at this point (if you have the means to do so).
Also, to figure out if this particular area is dangerous, they would need to compare the death rate there to the death rate in other skydiving spots. Otherwise, they’re just pointing out that skydiving is a potentially deadly activity. Everyone that skydives knows that.
Here is an idea for testing whether a stainless carafe vs glass lined makes a noticeable difference for you:
Set up a water bath at whatever serving temp you prefer for your coffee. A quick search’s says this is somewhere from 140-150f. If you have an immersion circulator (used for “sous vide” cooking), you’re golden for this. Otherwise, you’d have to use a pot of water on the stove with a rack in the bottom to keep your coffee vessels from touching the bottom. then keep adjusting the stove to maintain water temp… which would be a PITA.
get two clean vessels with lids, one stainless, one glass. You could probably get away with using plastic wrap and a rubber bands for lids in a pinch. Preheat the vessels with water.
pour freshly brewed coffee into each vessel, put the lids on, and put them in the water bath for a while (1 hour?).
have someone pour you a coffee from each vessel into identical coffee cups. They need to keep track of which is which. And, of course, you shouldn’t know which is which.
Taste. Can you tell a difference? Which one is better?
repeat until you’re tired of running the test and are sure your answer is solid.
People use words in different ways. You will find varying definitions of propaganda. Some people will call any information produced by a government propaganda. Some people will only call that information propaganda if it appears to have a notable bias. Some will only call the info propaganda if it contains outright lies.
You seem to want to define propaganda as any information produced by a government designed to pursuance people of something. Most people are not going to be against that kind of information (or at least not strongly against it). I’m pretty sure most people that say they are against propaganda view propaganda as information that is misleading or an outright lie.
The problem here seems to be that you have taken the stance that propaganda simply means “persuasion”.
Yeah, the whole kids and inheritance thing is a really big sticking point. I saw your other comment about this being based on a discussion your family has had. The thing is, that even if your family was discussing jobs on the surface, if the people they are picking from are other family members (or at least people they actually know), their decisions are weighed by all their other knowledge and feelings about those people.
I can see you’re trying to figure out how much value people put on each of these particular career cicurmastances in isolation but kids and inheritance is just a terrible framing for that for the above reasons. As a framing exercise, I think the question would have needed to be framed in a way that puts the reader in a much more distant position. This could be something like:
An eccentric billionaire gives you the following list of people and tells you to choose one person from the list for him to give a million dollars to. The billionaire says you must make your decision based solely on the list. Who do you choose and why did you make that choice?
Still maybe not a great framing, but it helps alleviate some of the rejection of the premise.
Even accepting the premise that this inheritance is indivisible, their jobs are far from the most important factor.
The company promised at least 0.5% daily returns and people believed that? It doesn’t even seem like they described in any depth how they were generating those fantastical returns. The article says that investors lost 1.3b USD. I Sure, there are a lot of suckers out there but… 1.3b worth? ?? This shouldn’t shock me, I know.

Ooh, while your add it, get a hygrometer to track the humidity in the Dutch oven :)
I expect a report on my desk by close of business Monday.
Yes. It looks like !support@lemmy.world is the community to post a mod request on. From the sidebar of that community:
- There is a community I want to moderate, but the moderators appear to be inactive.
Please email us at info@lemmy.world or create a post in this community.
I would post and then email info@lemmy.world with a link to the post to get the admins/mods attention.
Someone bought a pallet of returned products and found this as one of the returned products. So what?
