oh absolutely, this is purely a thought experiment of course.

Just thinking at a high level, an infinite number of monkies should hypothetically almost instantly produce Shakespeare (or at least as quickly as they can type)

Conversely, 1 monkey would eventually produce it given infinity time.

I watched a show talking about adrenalin and injecting it into the heart, the doctor was saying how it would be the worst place to try and go first because damage but also because you'd be more likely to hit a rib or puncture a lung then actually make it through the heart.

This signs writing appears to look like it’s meant to be viewed with 3D glasses.

"may see the ‘homo’ side and think it has something to do with gay sex."

Better not let him see assume, class, bass (ironically a homophone) or many other words with such scandalous suffixes lol

For me the only time is when it’s a subscription and I want to be able to cancel it easily especially for trials, since PayPal (to a degree) simplifies this

Bring your hate and downvotes. There will be 2 or 3 that understand the situation better than I, and I’m sure that will come and try to educate me.

So if you know this is the case, why would you not just do that research?

I understand the cost of living is very high, but there are numerous factors that play into that and specifically to the example of eggs the war in Ukraine wouldn't affect that supply chain in a significant way, and the aid also shouldn't impact it.

Providing aid, beyond preventing the war from being lost, potentially embolding Russia to continue advancing, is simply the right thing to do. Obviously Western nations have the privilege of being at peace, but that doesn't mean we should blindly turn our backs to the many countries who make our current situation possible through numerous imports and trade.

At the end of the day, you're entitled to be frustrated by the rising costs of living, and you're welcome to be angry about the war, but the way you worded your post feels more like willful ignorance than any real attempt to formally become educated.

I think a lot of times this is driven by someone cutting themselves and creating a pile Of paperwork and costing money. Worked for a fast food chain and we had to use a chainmail glove to use a knife for the same reason.

It's a small thing, but for me it's refusing to support them as much as I can. I don't use Disney+ and try not to buy merchandise from their IPs. Admittedly this is both difficult since they own so. many. things. while also being a drop in the bucket for such a large company, but if enough folks feel the same, it can move the needle a small amount.

I also shared this message out on all my platforms (that of their shady practices) which influenced at least a few people to say they were distancing themselves from the mouse.

Ultimately though, corporations will always do what is best for their shareholders, and in this case, that means doing anything possible not to pay out, PR nightmare be damned. Meaningful legislation is really the only thing that puts guard rails on this behaviour, so my last recommendation really comes down to being vocal with your representatives that these things matter and voting accordingly. I recognize again this is a small thing but on-mass action like this is how change happens.

My two cents at least.

While true, most clocks are quarts oscillators These days so would die also. That said, love me a mechanical clock and have a skeleton watch I daily drive.

I tend to avoid the large corps where I can (Amazon, Walmart) recently moved to buying what I can from farmers markets and honestly having someone remember you and be proud of their product is a game changer, and tastes better too.

So yeah absolutely boycotting em
