Yes 😄

That and by some reports, the text on the casings were “carved” in. Any deformations would have added resistance to ejection. It didn’t seem to take him too off guard though.

Ooh neat

E: looks like June was a Pink Pilates Princess Hollywood Pop kinda month for me.

To make people happy, I think it would take a return to a running average of 2%. This requires a temporary drop below 2%, perhaps even to 0 or negative. Otherwise, you’re just telling them to suck it up and embrace the new normal.

No. If you would look at the graph in the link you posted, you would see that 2020 is right before the huge spike in inflation. This sustained spike explains the current outrage over increased prices.

People are not goldfish with minds that reset every year. Per your own link, accumulative inflation is up 21.8% since 2020.

Sure, if hubcaps were something to get enraged about. I don’t think that’s remotely comparable, but you do you.

Por que no los dos? I’m free to be disgusted with funeral costs and you’re free to make your point.

It shouldn’t cost $60,000 to bury anyone.

It’s bold of you to assume everyone who would vote 3rd party would otherwise “vote blue no matter who”. Also, not everyone lives in a swing state.

Sorry, I’m a bit confused by the “fundraising” terminology. Is this in regards to investments in the cryptocurrency industry, such as exchanges and other corporations, or individual purchases of the raw assets?

Looking at market cap, Bitcoin peaked earlier this year at $1.43 trillion and is currently at $1.23 trillion. That’s only a 14% drop. If you look at the global cryptocurrency market cap, it peaked in 2021 at $3.07 trillion and is currently at $2.26 trillion. That’s a 26% drop. I understand that you don’t think crypto is dead, but there’s a lot of delusion in this thread. Surely, if cryptocurrencies are dead, Disney (down 53% from peak) and Intel (down 67% from peak) are on life support.

I agree with everything you’re saying except crypto is not down by more than half since it’s peak.

5 Euros seems like a pretty standard fee for a Bitcoin transfer, which is insanely cheap for large transfers. Your 30 Euro transaction is more suitable for the lightning network, which handles off-chain transactions for much lower fees. The person you were responding to was specifically talking about the lightning network.

It has before. We no longer see the Whig Party on the ballot. I’m also hoping we can do it again.

That boogie-board enthusiast, who happened to be born in 1988, is going to be pretty pissed if they try changing their license plate.

That must be heavily skewed by expensive out-of-state colleges. I’m finding average yearly in-state tuition costs quoted between $7-10k.

Sounds kinda hot to me. To spice things up, I’d want to hear all about it when we get back together.

E: Kink shamers, the lot of you! I’d rather be with an experienced lady over someone who’s only been with me.

Why do you claim that is unidirectional? Why not:

“There are two viable candidates, Biden and Trump. Taking votes away from Trump only helps Biden. So not voting, voting Stein, Kennedy, West, all of that only helps Biden.”

E: I only inversed this claim to highlight how ridiculous it sounds. I don’t believe either statement is true. Do you truely not believe that someone would be deciding between Trump and Kennedy, without any consideration for Biden?

If by common knowledge, you mean that a significant portion of the population believes it, I’m not sure how reliable that evidence that is. People will believe a whole lot of strange stuff.

On topic, even the first paragraph of the Wikipedia page states that it was “popularized by cooks from India living in Great Britain”. Regardless of where it was first created, this is clearly the product of Indian immigrants. I don’t believe their heritage should be ignored just because they moved. Although, I don’t want it to sound like I believe in a 100% black and white distinction here. It’s clearly a fusion dish with British influences. The original chicken tikka was a lot dryer and the “masala” sauce was added to make the dish creamier to appeal to British tastes.

However, I don’t go around claiming General Tso’s chicken isn’t Chinese food, just because it was first made in New York; or that the chimichanga isn’t Mexican food, just because it was originally made in Arizona; or that a Cuban sandwich isn’t Cuban, just because it was first made in Florida. These dishes wouldn’t exist without the immigrants who modified their cultural recipes to adapt to a new environment.

To me, chicken tikka malala is an Indian dish with British influences.

E: Tao to Tso.
