The article mentions of those under 25. So it seems their focus is based on the statistics of young women under 25.
- Comment on And did you ever thank him? 2 weeks ago:
I did! That’s how I learned it started as a character for ads.
A great character. Also, the micro machines guy has to be included in the Advengers.
- Comment on And did you ever thank him? 2 weeks ago:
It’s so weird how the character went from being an ad campaign to beloved tv and mocie character.
It would be like the guy who smashed appliances saying “prices? smashed! Our competitors?! SMASHED!!!” Having a solo acting career.
Which leads me to cinematic perfection. The Advengers. A group of TV ad characters joining forces to save the world from an unstoppable force. A fed up Maytag repair man.
Don’t forget other such lovable characters as Local Town Attorney, Late Night blade master and their dauntless leader QVC host.

- Comment on I am about to board a flight. What sequence of events would occur if (by chance) for no apparent reason a window got completely smashed out? 3 weeks ago:
And to add to the dialog (if there’s anything incorrect please let me know) from videos I’ve seen by MentourPilot, Captain Joe and online sources
The process will most likely look like the following:
-
They will put on their own o2 masks (it’s critical to do this as you can lose consciousness in under a minute)
-
They will radio the distress both for ATC but also nearby planes to give them a heads up that they’ll be rapidly descending. If it’s in a high traffic area they may wait for approval to begin descent (and you can be sure ATC is going to be moving planes out of the way.). If it’s taking too long they will begin descending anyway.
-
They will start a rapid descent to 10,000 ft (if terrain allows it, otherwise down to whatever they can safely get to). This is because the emergency o2 is limited to about 15 minutes.
Some interesting things I learned about this.
They will often use autopilot for the descent and level flight. This is because of limited visibility and a risk of possible issues caused by low o2.
This descent will be really unpleasant. Not a gentle descent but the safest one (especially if they’re unsure if there’s any structural issues) they can do. Which will be quite a bit steeper than anybody is used to.
So passengers on the plane will experience this as:
- Loud rushing noise. Possible moisture filling the cabin now that you have outside cold air mixing with
- Masks dropping and seatbelt signs
- The sound of the wings adjusting for speed brakes, shuddering from the flight profile change,
- Flight screw scrambling to seats and putting on masks
- The nose of the plane tipping down. It will feel like it’s faster than it really is with the shift in gravity followed by being pressed back due to the increase in speed during descent.
Not a fun experience I’m sure

It’s a foil in Majora’s Mask but, after a little bit, a kind of ally in this one.
You find yourself waiting for it, as it enables you to move on to the next jaunt you’re going to make.
The entire game is one giant puzzle rather than MM where it’s alot of smaller ones that the mechanic gets in the way of.

I went and edited more into the answer. Trying to capture the feeling about it so that they aren’t afraid of being annoyed. Hopefully it handled it gingerly enough.
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2: First Gameplay Trailer 3 weeks ago:
The one mechanic is similar, yes. But the gameplay and exploration are drastically different.
I can’t praise the game enough… it’s just so good.

Tricky balance when you need to manage mold/fungal growth. But yeah, we are “wasting” a lot of nutrients by trashing leaves like we do.
- Comment on Why do people say "quote unquote something" and not "quote something unquote" ? 1 month ago:
Indeed. With very slowly pronounced “bunny ear finger quotes” as you say it to emphasize the sarcasm.
- Comment on Why do people say "quote unquote something" and not "quote something unquote" ? 1 month ago:
I’ve heard it said both ways.
For example.
When the statement you’re quoting is going to be quote, short or simple, unquote.
Or, if it’s going to stand on its own and be quote, unquote, some long citation that would make famous Russian authors jealous.

Right. And if you’re going to do it at least do it right.

One thing to consider. When the stocks that are part of a mutual fund drop… then your retirement contributions will be buying them on sale.
Assuming the mutual funds are spread out to minimize risk (1 of the funds companies folds, etc) overall you’ll be better off long term.
As you age you’ll start moving your investments to more stable options. Ones that won’t benefit from huge gains but also won’t be wiped out by massive drops.
In the meantime look at how your funds are doing over time. Not even year to year but maybe every 2 or 3 years.

I was thinking of the term salinity.
- Comment on If a planet was completely covered in water, wouldn't it all be freshwater? 2 months ago:
There’s also heat exchange so you’ll have deep sea vents where there could be all kinds of caustic stuff and/or minerals.
So it wouldn’t necessarily be fresh even if that stuff wasn’t saline
