Lol if you drag the China country to the South Pole it glitches and then covers the rest of the world minus Antarctica. 😊

If by slightly you mean nearly 20%, I believe that’s only because of Alaska, then it would be smaller. The real crazy huge one is modern day Russia which is easily double Australia and almost 80% larger than the United States.

I hear what you’re saying, but if I may provide an extreme example… Try wearing a sauvastika in the western world these days and what do you think the response will be? Once a symbol of abundance and prosperity became the most prominent hateful symbol for generations. Decades after the annihilation of Nazi Germany and the swastika is still given their interpretation. I don’t have an answer as to how to prevent this from happening all over again like it is to a lesser degree with vocabulary such as this is describing.

Oh wow, I obviously didn’t read the article. Shame on me. Had no idea they had that few on staff.

Interesting to hear about Brook’s Law. Thanks!

From what I’ve read about their Daily Active Users they’re going to be overstaffed soon. No hate but they exploded and when things settle they might not need as much staff. Thoughts?

Am I the only one who thinks ‘terminates’ isn’t the best synonym for fired with this employer?

Not comparing, we have our own issues, but the US just said not wearing a mask in public is akin to not paying taxes or speeding - it’s still illegal and not free speech because it affects others.

Good tip!

I guess my comment came across as sarcastic, I wasn’t. Most plans that take decades are much harder to accomplish than a little pruning and upkeep on a few trees.

Yes pretty easy to plan and execute something that takes decades.

Wonder why they didn’t invite Italy this time? 😂

It’s weird though my 1920s price research shows $20.67 per Troy Ounce. Example: https://sdbullion.com/gold-price-by-year

I might be mistaken and that’s the US government’s set price for gold in the early 1900s, a lot of these other links show it closer to 10x that value.

Sub 2% interest rates for 2 years for loans and then jumped to ~8%

Market is wildly variable.

Yeah I was going to say Upper Middle Class but I’ve seen some dumpy houses for those prices and it’s really titled by if you bought when interest rates were low vs the last year or so.

$300/oz in 1920?

Which one? Gold was $20.67 per Troy ounce in 1920, that’s about $664.55 per kilo. 10 kilos about $6,645.55 I’m believing the first search result https://www.countryliving.com/life/g33398396/what-things-cost-100-years-ago/ says that matches up. Gold is about $64,900 per kilo today so $649,000 for 10 bars, that’s a low cost of living middle class place or HCOL very small house that needs renovation. I could see you meaning these days and houses in some areas are in the $6 million range, guess they should be location specific.

So any business that hires Hispanic workers is now aiding and abetting known terrorists. I’d put $10 down that JJ or his relatives have such a business.

I’d even be fairly certain that if he changed the language to “being in the US illegally” that he or someone close to him would still be culpable.

She doesn’t have to be good, it showed that women can go into space and was yet another benchmark the Soviets achieved first. I’m not saying who or how they did it was particularly heroic, just that it was humanity’s first steps into the stars.

Yeah I guess I was talking about the USSR responding to the “they won the war” and last 80 years I thought you were using Russia/Soviets interchangeably until the fall of the Soviet Union.
