I’m in a similar boat. Over an hour commute, younger kids with afterschool activities 4 days a week. A wife has a full-time job, luckily, she finally finished her master’ so we reclaimed Saturdays and I’m not running the taxi service solo.

Shit is exhausting, but I am glad our daughters got to see their mom a accomplished something so huge, and I’m proud to have supported her along the way.

I seem to remember wedge was basically an inclined plane, and a screw was an inclined plane wrapped around an axle. Also a pulley is a specific application of wheel and axle.

Sweet jesus yes. And now we are faced with a potential new billionaire to rule over us.

My favorite take on the subject Internet Comment Etiquette: “The Mandela Effect”

gotcha. What about assets? Im not an accounting person, but we routinely buy tooling for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Raw materials have costs/value associated with them. How would that figure in?

this is interesting to me. can you show your work? Id be interested in going through the thought experiment as well.

I listen to mostly death metal and my wife is into musicals. Its really not an issue. I have gone with her to Book of Mormon (a musical), she has gone with me to metal shows… actually she used to get me back stage to several (she worked catering). Neither of us is going to choose to play the others music when we are by ourselves, but we can find a little common ground regardless.

Face to fist style.

Its been a while since I listened to this album.

[Verse 1] Always locking the doors to your mind Escaping the reality that surrounds you Using faith as an excuse to kill A sick way of life is now revealed

[Refrain] All the prayers in the world can’t help you now A killer, a taker of life is what you are

[Bridge] Speak no more lies It’s your turn to die

[Pre-Chorus] Preach the good word Speak no more, prepare to burn A justified torture? From this may others learn The life you took A holy death, a grave mistake No changing your mind Your life you should pay

[Chorus] Practice what you preach Your loved one is now deceased Knowledge is at our hands Never to understand [Post-Chorus] Spiritual Healing

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2] Blinded by the twisted ways you live Kill for religion, will the lord forgive? Idiocy has stricken your mind A real life hell you will find

[Refrain] All the prayers in the world can’t help you now A killer, a taker of life is what you are

[Bridge] Speak no more lies It’s your turn to die

[Pre-Chorus] Preach the good word Speak no more, prepare to burn A justified torture? From this may others learn The life you took A holy death, a grave mistake No changing your mind Your life you should pay [Chorus] Practice what you preach Your loved one is now deceased Knowledge is at our hands Never to understand

Such a great album! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZSzqfZ4udE&list=PL_qPMv2qfxq28E0STn35YAO0ZJO-W7xkj&index=5

This has been a thing for poor folks for a long time now. once they successfully wipe out the pesky middle class it will be a reality for everyone.

Regarding clothes, the low quality fast fashion makes clothes essentially disposable, so consumers don’t really own clothes anymore also.
