Because there us money in it for somebody, and that somebody managed to convince a lot of people these “standardized tests” work.

You mean more, right? Because in the evening is when most people get off of work.

Ok, so the person who won, how did they trade? Did they immediately use their traded materials? Did they only make trades that had clear benefit to them (as opposed to making trades they might be able to use)?

I contest that you are “highly unlikely” to win Catan if you dont negotiate. I win around half of the games I play; People who have played me a few times refuse to trade with me at all.

Reweight it yourself.

Not everyone lives in NYC where stuff costs 2x to 3x times everywhere else. I can buy lunch for $5, and make it for $2.

Do you just do the quick skip to the boss or actually redo the dungeon?

Those seem like pretty good ideas, thanks.

High quality equipment still exists, but the first of whatever you own usually is inexpensive and low quality. Hopefully once you start replacing your stuff, you got money saved up and/or a better paying job to get high quality. Unfortunately in modern America the cost of living has quickly outpaced the dwindling…

I actually want chili to be a bit watery; It allows you to add crackers to it.

If only you could buy mint extract that doesnt use an alcohol base. There are methods to make mint extract without alcohol, but no company sells such.

You cant use a cheat as an arguement. If you want to say a person running on a treadmill gets less exercise then they actually have to be running when you analyze them.

You cant just jump to stay stationary on a tredmill. Lets examine from starting stationary in the air falling to the ground. When you land you are in contact with the treadmill for some definite amount of time before you jump into the air; Thus the treadmill will impart some amount of backwards force on you.…

they could cost thousands of dollars

VSauce gets it wrong; The thing is, neutronium can only exist in a neutron star; It takes a LOT of gravity to compact matter that dense. Any small amount of neutronium outside of a neutron star wouldn't have enough gravity to keep it compacted, and would immediately explode. It would be a very, very, very big…

It has to do with intent behind those figures; It's really the same thing with characters in video games: A half naked muscular male character represents what male players want to be (and what male industry leaders want them to want) and a half naked female character represents not what female players want to be, but…

Typically, inefficiency with electronics means a lot of power is lost in the machine as useless heat. But that's exactly what a dryer is meant to do: generate heat. Saying a dryer is inefficient is missing the point of what a dryer is supposed to do.

And that's what you get for just sticking your kid with a toy and leaving them alone. You have to actually parent your child, and involve yourself in their lives all along their life. If you let the toys do the parenting, your kids will grow up to be like the ones in this comic.

Power suits carry themselves.

Actually, no junk would build up. The Alcubierre concept would actually pinch off a bubble of space time; It causally disconnects you from the rest of the universe. As your bubble is propelled forward, you have to hope you know exactly how fast it's moving and that your equations are correct, since nothing from…
