If so it's relatively tame, the other dude isn't even convinced about the error of his ways at the end. He just stops talking because he's doesn't want to pursue the conversation. And not a single clap in sight.

Standard and Poors 500 has annual dividends of about 2-2.5%. In 40 years it would turn $200 million into roughly $550 million tops.

A share of S&P 500 in 1976 would cost around $100, today they cost over $2,100. $200 million would turn into $4 billion, not counting reinvestment of dividends.

There was a park ranger who was hit by lightning seven times, so it's definitely possible. Otoh tropers only rarely venture out of their basement, so them getting struck by lightning is, uh, rather unlikely

WrenP-Complete posted:But does it not hurt? Does it hurt some of the time and not others? I've read a lot of lightning strike accounts, and it's wildly unpredictable. Some people report feeling nothing, others have severe pain. Some have no side effects, others have health issues for life. Basically, it's a relatively plausible story, or at least it would be if it were on any other website.

I seem to remember a story about a guy who did not realize he had been struck by lightning until he went to a doctor days after with a migraine and they discovered Lichtenberg Figures. Perhaps he was full of poo poo too though.

I have never in my life gotten an assignment the teacher handwrote on a piece of notebook paper. Why would they do that when they'd have to do it like 30 times? Not that it would be any more real if they had printed out a more realistic looking assignment, but still..

Theoretically you could be giving that to one kid who is getting a different assignment from the rest of the class b/c of an IEP or whatever But yeah "WACKY THINGS MY STUDENTS RESPOND" and "MY TEACHER SHARES MY SLASH OTP" are the school equivalents of Dear Husband, Have a Beer, Video Game, Place a Dick into My Bum!

Yes, Michio Kaku and Neil De Grasse Tyson, two genius luminaries of the field, surely equal to if not greater than Hawking or Einstein.

He passed on 2 for 1 because he was feeling under the weather, not because he couldn't eat enough for 2 people. Just let that sink in.

I spent two minutes too long (two minutes total) trying to work out what the supposed scenario here even is, and best I could work out is a writing/language class that opens with an informal, ungraded writing exercise, with a prompt that students copy from the board into their notebooks, as a warm-up before getting to the main meat of the day's lesson. But that wouldn't explain why the prompt and answer are in different handwritings... then I realized I was spending time and energy analyzing a poorly thought-out STDH and reckon I need to take a break from this thread

The next day we met he passed them out at random, had us answer them, then hand them in. We then took the questions, one at a time, and discussed them as a class.

Such as 1 per customer, for equal or lesser value, must be the same thing, tell your server at time or purchase etc. So you can't use your discount to go towards a different bill. Also, lets assume that it's true. Dude overhears an argument, (which apparently started over a creep ogling the couples daughters who are not mentioned again), between a married couple and feels bad because they are arguing and the guy is an angry abusive jerk. He then proceeds to get the guy angrier at the wife, (who would have done nothing wrong and knew nothing about it), and chuckles about how he will probably get so worked up that he will beat her.
