# of women there are more than men in that age range, you can tell this by using your eyes.

female :airquote: surplus
There's a "male surplus" too, what's your point? If you assume the population should be 1:1 what word would you use for outliers?

Look up "female surplus" or "male surplua" it's in pretty common use for demographic studies where it's a factor

The first three Yugo vehicles, painted red, white, and blue, were introduced to the U.S. public at the Los Angeles Auto Show in May 1984. The car was promoted with a ten-year/100,000-mile warranty, free maintenance, and a price of only $4,500.
an inflation adjusted price of $13,304

wish i could be a boomer piece of poo poo and treat a $13K asset that comes with "free maintenance" as disposable

now to take a big sip of water and look up the median house price at the time the yugo was introduced

Fake news.

The Yugo was clearly introduced in Q2 1984

Sure bookburning may be detrimental to society at large, but some of those books being lit up are by Ayn Rand, so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or not,
The only book I ever deliberately burned was a copy of Atlas Shrugged I found at a party at a communal house, with the permission of the probable owner of the book.

Only one person complained about what was about to happen, and they stopped when I showed them the cover. (They showed up late, I'd already made clear what book was going into the firepit)

Some cowboy boots just do that, it's a style choice. You can tell he's wearing cowboy boots from the printing below his knee.

Update: I think I found the boots, which have up to a 3.1"/78mm lift

For the low, low price of $690

Also, they're zippered.

Been rewatching SG-1 again as I got my gf into it, in Season 6 they do a recap episode as they bring other countries into the fold due to their military power to face the potential threat of Anubis and reveal the Prometheus and etc

I don't know how they were planning on fighting the aliens, but I think that's a list of the countries that had long-range nuclear missiles at the time.
That tracks, but nukes had already been demonstrated as ineffective against the Goa'uld unless you got through their shielding somehow. Still, getting a nuke on-board was how they won in the movie, so sure.

Return to Oz is an example of one of those whacked out sequel novels actually being made into a movie.
Neverending Story 2 as well, while we're at it.

/e: okay, not technically based on a sequel novel, but still a pretty fuckin' weird sequel based on the latter half of the original novel

I dunno about "Spanish Black" but the meaning is probably something similar to "black/dark comedy" in the sense of "legendary but not for all audiences" as opposed to a reference to skin color.

Most of Canada isn't really habitable, but it's about 3.8 million square miles just like the USA and makes 4.6 million square miles when combined with Mexico

fact check on "most of a continent": mostly false
