If this was the answer for them, they wouldn’t have made this post

Adding to the tracking idea, log it BEFORE you eat it (or buy it, depending). You’ll find that a lot of items aren’t worth it, and you’ll put it back.

How would I do that when they don’t even ask the color?

Not OP, but most of those cars only had 5 digits on the odometer. It says something about how long the manufacturer expected them to last.

It’s important to remember how far we’ve come on longevity. 100k as the expected lifespan wasn’t common until the 90s. My grandmother once told me that 40k meant it was time to start looking for a new car. This probably would’ve been for cars in the 50s.

Obviously you can take any car to any mileage if you’re willing to sink the time and money into it. Many of these cars are prized by enthusiasts, and became project cars. But your standard utility cars of the 70s and 80s were probably not getting to 100k before needing a lot of repairs.

This is (mostly) a myth, and dispelled by (among many others) Progressive and Allstate. How would they even know? Color is not part of your VIN, and is not something they will usually ask.

However, there is one small kernel of truth - sports cars, which genuinely are more expensive to insure, are far more likely to be red. But they would be the same price in blue, silver, or black.

This is part of a series frequently known as “Microsoft interview” questions. The most famous one is, “Why is a manhole cover round?” They are partially meant to gauge your problem-solving abilities, but more importantly see how you react to a question you did not (and could not) prepare for. They’ve since fallen out of fashion, because it was always a terrible way to gauge roles like software developers.

If Wikipedia is to be believed, the Backstreet Girls are a Norwegian rock band formed in 1984. Which means they predate the Backstreet Boys by a long time.

But I have to take Wikipedia at its word, since most sources are in Norwegian.

Fully agreed.

Christmas is a central and recurring theme throughout Die Hard 1. From events happening at a Christmas party, to minimal staffing due to the holidays, to McClane’s presence in the city at all, to “Now I have a machine gun Ho-ho-ho”

I can assure you, with absolute certainty, there will be an election. All of the most brutal dictatorships have elections, usually with the dictator (and his cronies) getting 90+%. They do not have any meaningful opposition on the ballot.

It will happen, but it may not be real. And that’s exactly what we need to watch for, and be outraged over, because it is happening TODAY.

Can confirm. Similarly, pork and noodles is amazing

Yes, but there’s an implied meaning (still used) that doesn’t translate to legal meaning.

Many years ago, organic required a few details on how it was grown/processed. Only the more expensive (and higher quality) items followed this, and were labeled organic. As such, people quickly associated ‘organic’ with ‘high quality’, and would pay the higher prices.

Then Walmart saw the higher prices, and wanted to know the bare minimum needed to use the label. It was restricted by law, so they needed to meet the definition. And it turns out the definition is really easy to meet. So Walmart flooded the market with “organic” crap.

Some people still pay a premium for it, partly because there’s no better indicator of quality.

There are certain, very limited diets where you can be relatively healthy without fiber. Most notable is carnivore (although people dispute that it’s healthy), but there are a few others.

However, the VAST majority of diets, including all of the common ones, need (and often contain) fiber. However, the amount you need is also going to vary from person to person. If you completely avoid processed foods, you’re probably getting enough already.

They describe it as being so thick he had to chew it. 30 “scoops”, and 2 liters of water. And he still had to chew it, it was that thick.

And then even more in a peanut butter sandwich.

I know it’s his brand, but it’s mostly useless stuff that you learn. His recent video about 8-tracks was fascinating, but I can’t imagine a single scenario where that info will be useful.

That said, I still recommend it to everyone.

In my experience, nope. Assuming it works as promised, the situation (usually) gets viewed as a skill gap. You think their code is bad, because you don’t understand it well enough. Unless you are personally willing to redevelop it, of course.

If you are a complete hard-liner, you’re going to run into one very particular, and peripheral, obstacle: your employer will almost certainly issue you a Windows laptop. It may not be a large part of your job, but it will be there. Very few companies will offer a Mac, and even fewer will offer Linux.

You might have to work as a freelancer, taking on tasks that can be done without Windows. But even something like web dev will require testing on Windows.

Somehow, the greatest music ever made is always from your senior year of high school.

There was also the related claim that the British pilots ate so many carrots it was turning their skin orange.

There is that meme floating around about a salmon learning that named a color after them. I’m sure there are a ton of other examples.

The version I heard was Recreation rather than Relationships. Find out what they do for fun, whether it’s gardening, concerts, or disc golf.
