Turn hard to the left while accelerating, then hard to the right while braking. That usually shakes it out.

I, too, am scared of clean spaces.

Do a whole lot of research, then take control of the president, and pardon people for a minute. As far as I'm aware, it takes effect as long as someone hears, or I write it down or something.

I practice the religion adjacent philosophical ideal known as "We the people"ism. We signal membership by publishing documents that begin with the words, "We the people".

There's an obligatory meeting everyday where we try to all coexist on the same spherical rock in space. Technically, I think all Americans are required to be members, except for astronauts. Those brave men and women have been excommunicated for failure to attend the meetings.

There's surgical interventions that cure a lot of things, like certain kinds of blindness, or pretty much anything that requires a transplant.

With two prospective diabetes cures moving towards human trials, I hope there will be a more compelling answer in 10 years or so, but that's TBD.

Every hour of sunlight brings 173,000 terrawatt hours of total solar irradiance. Even one hour is enough to make a big difference.

Good news, everyone. 314159 is not evenly divisible by 17, just as you'd expect.

I would swear I've seen an annual figure, but I'm not finding it.

https://www.bls.gov/news.release/wkyeng.t01.htm shows the weekly figure, and $1165 times 52 fits with $60k/year. Sorry I don't have a nicer is source

FYI, the median personal income for a person working full time, year round is just above $60,000 in the US, so 1 million dollars of crime might only deserve 16 years, 8 months.

JPMorgan Chase has paid out $30,000,000,000 in fines over the last 20 years or so. That means if you apply similar logic to companies, their executive team owes up to 500,000 years in prison collectively, which is only 3,000 years per member of the senior leadership team.

Numbers smaller than 314159, surely.

 

Somewhere in the universe, there's another intelligent lifeform, with development at a stage roughly equal to our own. They make and share video recordings edited to be emotional, informative, inspirational, or entertaining, and you know and recognize all of it (translated to your native language, of course).

You just don't know where they are, what they look like, the overall story lines, and possibly a way to convince anyone else that this is a real thing.
