  • Smart switches are so nice

    Going to bed? One touch of a widget on my phone's home screen and all my house lights go off.

    Front porch lights need to be on a timer? Smart switches do that

    I recommend Kasa brand. Look for refurbished ones and you can get them under $10 a piece.

    Easily worth ~$8 dollars per switch if you're doing it new.

    I think worth ~$12 if you're willing to replace yourself

  • A lot of downtime in Gilmore girls

    Conversations are wordy and fast though

    Most words per minute is a weird metric

    A TV show that had an average talking narrator throughout would probably win.

    Yet "Most words per minute" seems to portray that the characters speak fast.

    When in reality the show with the least amount of non-conversation is going to win, even if the characters don't talk fast.

  • He acts the way he does because of Skyler. He makes everything harder on himself and her, trying to keep her in the dark.

    I hope my wife tells me that she wants to make meth safely in the basement before buying an RV to try to hide it from me.

  • Everything in Breaking Bad stems from the wife being a bitch. Well, like the first 2 or so seasons I watched.

    Why in the world would you buy an RV and try to cook out in the middle of nowhere?

    Like that's the dumbest plan of all. Difficult, and you stick out like a sore thumb.

    "Hunny, I'm dying from cancer. I'm going to play with my chemistry set in the basement. DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING. Thanksss"

    Cooks meth, sells it to Tuco, the end.

    Everything becomes so complicated in the show because it wouldn't be a show without it being complicated.

    It's like the writers just said "How can we stop Walt getting to his goal?" And did that every episode.

    Oh no, what's going to happen in this episode to make cooking meth hard?

  • ~50% of men probably wear a size 9-11 shoe

    That's a "Large" sock

    Man with a size 8 shoe could probably still wear a "Large" sock and be fine.

    ~75% of women wear a size 7-9

    Women with 6 or 6.5 should still be able to wear a 7-9 sized sock.

    Families have genetically similar feet

    I know from my experience, my father, my brother, and I all wear the same size. We all had different preferences and our own socks, but I could have easily worn their socks.

  • Where is the extra finger? I swear I can't find it. A disappearing pinky

    I feel like most artists would make the daughter similar to their mother. I don't see how that's weird.

    The characters all have different and "accurate" reactions

    Sherif is stern.

    SS is annoyed.

    ICE shows some compassion

    Native American is noble

    Jew is startled

    "Illegal Aliens" are scared

    There are a lot of details in everything.

    If it wasn't for the comments I wouldn't think it is AI, but I do feel like people bandwagon on it. Top comment says AI, and everyone is going to say AI.

  • Yeah, I'm not trying to argue either

    The perfect world wouldn't need a death penalty, yet we don't live in a perfect world.

    To me, spending ~50k a year to keep a person behind bars is not worth it.

    An 18 year old school shooter has ~60 years behind bars.

    That's 3 million dollars

    Do you know how many lives you can save or improve for 3 million dollars?

    Thats if the cost of incarnation doesn't increase in 60 years...

    Thats not counting all the interest you could earn from investing the money for 60 years...

    It's millions of dollars

    That school shooter is 100% guilty and will never, hopefully, get out of prison.

    It's inhumane to just keep them locked in a box for 60 years

    But if you want to pay millions to a private prison because "The school shooter might be innocent". Even with videos, eye witnesses, and cops arresting them with a gun.

    Then okay. Doesn't make sense to me.

  • It's alright to put a person in jail for 90 consecutive life terms and never look back. Feel good about ourselves because if we got it wrong, we "could" look into it.

    Death penalty should be used sparingly

    Wife poisons her husband? No because there's never going to be 100% proof

    Kid shoots up a school? Yes because you know it was them 100%

  • "games are ridiculously expensive at full price"

    A board game with paper and plastic pieces can range from 12-45 dollars

    People will go spend $20 at the movies for 1 night

    Hell I'll pay 100 if it's a good game

    I have 1200 hours in Overwatch. $60 (free now). I have paid 5 cents per hour to play it. I am completely happy with my purchase even though it's free now.

    If the game isn't worth it, don't get it. But to complain about it is ridiculous.

    Some N64 games were $50-$60 dollars back in the 90's

    I feel like we are fortunate

  • "Montoya (DA) said he supports the death penalty and believes Crusius deserves it. But he said he met with the families of the victims and while some were willing to wait as long as it took for a death sentence, there was an overriding desire to conclude the process."

    NPR news

    This is the problem

    You can throw a man that pleads guilty in jail for 90 consecutive life sentences and be "over"

    Now, to see if he really did it and deserves the death penalty...yeah going to have to take a lot longer to just make sure....

  • Credit cards = Free Money

    1-5% cash back at most stores

    So you can either pay in cash (or debit card) and get nothing. Or you can use a credit card and get 1-5% cash back

    I need to spend $300 on groceries this month. If i had a credit card that did 5% on grocery purchases (one reason for multiple cards), then I'd have an extra 15 dollars this month. 180 dollars a year just because I used a credit card for a purchase I had to make.

    I could have used my debit card, and the funds could be pulled directly from my checking account. Or the funds will be pulled directly from my checking account at the end of the month when I need to pay off my balance.

    If I had an emergency $300 dollar expense in the middle of the month, I would have access to $300. If i purchased the groceries with the $300 in my checking account, I'd have no funds to hold over for 2 weeks. Longer if needed, a credit card can hold a balance for a price.

    There really isn't a reason why you shouldn't use a credit card in America, other than poor spending habits

    Credit cards can even give you perks like free cell phone accident protection when paying your wireless bill

    Have multiple cards with multiple limits = higher available debt

    The higher your available debt, the less percent you use out of it

    Debt utilization is a big part of a credit score. And just getting that down having multiple high limit cards is a strategy.

    Like if I spend 5k a month. One card with a 10k limit I am using 50% of my available credit. If i had 3 cards with 15k limits, I'd be using ~10%. Using 10%>50%

    Opening up cards hurts your credit score in the short term but helps in the long run. You shouldn't close a card unless you have to because having it is going to help your score for reasons mentioned above.

  • You can not simply "shift" billions of dollars from one currency to another.

    As much as the rich people with billions want to get rid of the USD, the people willing to give GBP or Euro for USD don't have to accept. Why would they want to be holding on to the USD if the others don't?

    They could be slowly doing it right now, but if the shit hits the fan, the exchange rate would jump.
