You can donate blood in 20 minutes. It takes an hour plus to donate plasma

Am I going to sit in a chair for an hour plus without any compensation? Maybe once or twice here and there. But you can donate plasma at least twice a week.

It requires two donations for a single unit. If you donate once and don’t donate the second, then your first donation is unusable. You have to get them to donate twice.

When I was donating plasma, it paid about $75 for each donation. 50 first, 100 for second. The money is pretty good. $300 a month is a lot for a lot of people.

If you didn’t compensate people for plasma donations, a lot wouldn’t do it. They currently need more people to donate.

Plasma “donation” is a good thing.

I knew a Richard Odar. Pronounced odor

Ticketmaster fees and charges are one thing.

But if someone is willing to pay 400+ dollars for a seat at a concert, Shouldn’t they be able to do that over someone that just wants a cheap seat?

I had to look up what the summoner’s tale was. I can say this from memory.

"Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote,

The droghte of March hath perced to the roote,

And bathed every veyne in swich licóur

Of which vertú engendred is the flour;

Whan Zephirus eek with his swete breeth

Inspired hath in every holt and heeth

The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne

Hath in the Ram his halfe cours y-ronne,

And smale foweles maken melodye,

That slepen al the nyght with open ye,

So priketh hem Natúre in hir corages,

Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,

And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes,

To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;

And specially, from every shires ende

Of Engelond, to Caunterbury they wende,

The hooly blisful martir for to seke,

That hem hath holpen whan that they were seeke."

You didn’t have to memorize the Canterbury Tales?

7+6

You need 3 to get to 10. 3 left over. 10+3=13.

I’d split up the 6 into (3,3) in my head

Same thing as 7+3+3

Dead fish 🐟

You could lift the potato without setting off the trap pretty easily

I remembered it wrong. He wasn’t doing laundry. He was pouring concrete into the guy’s washing machine.

No idea what that guy did to deserve a messed up washing machine.

“You ever use the gentle cycle?” Absolutely hilarious /s

You have to have grown up with it and gained an unconditional love of the characters. You don’t care that they are an asshole to a character you don’t like.

Look at Kramer he is so stupid he can’t figure out a washing machine! Lol he’s going to try to pour a bunch of detergent in next and act like he’s drunk because he’s that stupid! He’s so funny!

Edit: Remembered it wrong. He was pouring concrete into the washing machine. Classic asshole

There are the “I like to keep my house at 66°F because I like to wear a hoodie or use a blanket”. They are going to say that 75°F is warm or even hot for a room.

If an average person sat naked in a 75°F room they would be happy.

68°F or 20°C is cold for me. Even 70°F or 21°C. I keep my house around 72° to 74°F and bump it up or down a degree. Coming in from mowing the yard, bump it down, sitting all day watching movies, keep it the same, cold winter day, bump it up.

Older people keep their houses at 78°+

100°F doesn’t mean “not fit for human habitation”

Anything above body temperature of 98.6°F (37°C) you are slowly cooking yourself. That’s why 100°F is important.

50°F is the point where you need clothes to survive. If you sat naked in a 50°F room you run the risk of your body not being able to generate enough heat and you’ll slowly die.

~75°F is room temperature. It’s in the middle on the warm side.

70°F is a cool room, 80°F is a warm room.

Whenever I think of Celsius I see it as 0° to 40° with 20° being room temperature. I hear 30°C and think halfway between 70 and 100 so I know it’s around 85°F and I know how 85°F feels.

But like 35°C. That’s 3/4 of the way from 20°C to 40°F. 100°F-70°F is 30°. 3/4 of 30 is 22.5. So 35° must be close to 70°+22.5° or ~93°F. I know how 93°F feels.

I can see how celcius is easier if you learned it as a child. 35°C would just be 35°C. But trying to quickly wrap your head around it is difficult unless you just know it. I’m sure if I said 93°F you could tell me that that is pretty hot.

You never deal with 0°C/32°F or 100°C/212°F unless you’re in a science lab.

They are nice numbers in celcius, but for real-world applications, it’s almost meaningless.

When I boil water on the stove, I don’t check if it hits 100°C. When I freeze water in the freezer, I don’t check if it hits 0°C.

Everyone can get by without knowing the exact degrees.

This is pure water at standard pressure. Higher or lower altitudes will change it, and if your water has minerals or impurities in it, it will also change it. It’s pretty arbitrary.

Water on roads can freeze before it hits 0°C outside. It can even snow above 0°C.

Fahrenheit is a very simple scale other than those two things. <0° extremely cold, >100° extremely hot for air temperature. Freezers are 0°F and Saunas are 200°F. Hot tubs are 100°F. You bake cookies at 325° to 375°, pizza is cooked at 600° to 800°F. You’ll find a lot of 25° increments in cooking.

Fahrenheit isn’t really a part of the US customary units.

Knowing both Fahrenheit and Celsius, I do think Fahrenheit is simpler for real-world applications. For science they are just numbers on a scale. Converting is the only real problem.

1 centiyard is about equal to 1 centimeter

1 miliyard is 3 milifeet

1 kiloyard is 3 kilofeet

It would be the same as the metic system having something like a “hand”

That if you wanted to express 1/3 of a meter you could just call it 1 hand. 2/3 meter would be 2 hands.

If you were using this metric system and knew that something had to be two hands long. You’d simply call it 2 hands instead of .66 meters or 66 centimeters.

If something had to be 2.5 hands long it would be .825 meters or 82.5 centimeters

Meter and yard are both random established lengths. Using miliyards or millimeters is exactly the same.

US customary units just have smaller unit names you can call them if it is convenient. If you never wanted to use anything but yards like the metric system does meters, it’s possible. Don’t want to use miles? Then megayards.

I do think 1 simple system that everyone uses is needed and the metric system is simple.

But if stupid Americans can use the “difficult” system, it can’t be too hard.

“Can you pass me the bag of plastic blocks?”

Not

“Can you pass me the bag of Legos”

If you wanted a box of adhesive bandages. You’d say “Can you pass me the box of band-aids?” or a tissue, “Can you pass me a kleenex?”

Companies do not want their brand to become generic trademarks.

It’s not because Lego is already pural

“I have many Lego blocks”

Not

“I have many Lego”

Like fishes

So you’re okay with sending someone to a work camp if “they probably did it, more than likely”? Because at least it’s reversible…

So what if they have to spend 10 years breaking rocks in the sun. Oopsie daisies

That’s why death penalty shouldn’t exist for crimes like a wife killing a husband. You might be 99.9% sure she poisoned him, but you cannot know for sure.

However, a school shooter caught red handed shooting a school?

Some crimes and scenarios can warrant the death penalty in my mind

Next argument is “what if the government framed people to execute them?”

Why in the world would the government point out that they are executing someone?

If the government (the rich controlled government) wants you dead they would do it quietly.

Even something as simple as cutting your brake lines. You really think local police are going to figure out that the government had soldier 65478 tamper with your brake lines?
