I’ll take just that cookie (You want the whole cookie)

And

I’ll take just a bit of that cookie (You want a piece of the cookie)

I made it just barely to the concert (Implies you were almost late)

And

I made it just to the concert (Implies you had something else to go to but you just went to the concert)

Perfection is the enemy of progress

You remember that one time you walked your dog into that real nice gas station bathroom?

It’s not just about dirt

The picture in the meme is probably added

The car in the picture is probably not theirs

Someone caring enough to post a picture with their review and had their car parked in front of the store. You’d be lucky to read Chillis.

We should push for a UBMI

Universal Bare Minimum Income

“Basic” is debatable

Hard to argue everyone needs the bare minimum

Maybe they aren’t going to be able to buy their art supplies at first. But it’s definitely a start.

Wonderful thing about art is that multiple people can share the same crayon box

It’s the whole “Is Pepsi fine?” Thing.

You ask if they have coke and they will say “is Pepsi fine?” Then you can say “Yes I’ll take a Sprite” and get Starry.

Like you can’t order a sprite without saying sprite. You cannot be like “I’ll take a soda” and expect sprite. Same with saying coke. You have to elaborate.

You could ask for a “coke” and accept any soda. But you’re not really calling what they are giving you coke. You just wanted any soda.

These are the EVA birkenstock sandals

They ended up ripping through and not really usable anymore because the whole front flops.

Saying nature intended anything is naive

Chimpanzees have gang wars and eat each other. Doesn’t make it right.

Plumber “hot water heater”

Accountant “.02 cents”

Torso and appendages

Head/neck being an appendage is arguable. But basically because there are better words to describe it, not because it isn’t one.

Axial and appendicular

You sprinkle some more cereal on the milk whenever you run out of cereal.

The whole point is to not have soggy cereal

Really depends on preference and cereal type

It’s less of an argument between milk first vs second, but people that like soggy vs crunchy cereal.

The important thing is to not add too much cereal before you can eat it all. Adding in cereal last just helps make sure you don’t.

I’d recommend one of these

A cheap no name brand works too but I enjoy this one. Definitely overpriced at full price but it’s on sale.

You can also pay a little more and get a duo tool that’s a tire inflator or a vacuum as well as a blower. Great for the car

Money or currency is a way to represent value

It is a medium of exchange

Could your boss pay you in cows? Could you take those cows and trade them for a car? Yes but this would be difficult.

So if your boss gave you a cow voucher “money” and you could trade that for a car, then you wouldn’t have to lug the cows around.

It facilitates trade

Why a US dollar, or another currency, has value is a whole other question

Where’s the lemon party?

You’ve never seen Maximum Overdrive

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

Matthew 5:17

Steepness has nothing to do with time.

Say your goal was to climb a 20km mountain

If it was a steep mountain it would be harder than a flat dune mountain.

If you could walk at a max speed of 10km an hour both mountains would take 2 hours to climb.

X-axis: Time Y-axis: Difficulty

Example Yo-yoing.

Doesn’t have steep learning curve. You can throw a yo-yo and get it up fairly easy. As you practice the difficulty of things you can do goes up.

It’s learning curve would look like

Example wake boarding.

Does have a steep learning curve. You more than likely will be dragged under water a couple times and probably fall as soon as you get up the first time to be dragged under water again. But once you get the hang of it it becomes second nature.

It’s learning curve would look like

Steepness is the difficulty required to move on in time

Some form of torture. The thing about torture is you can always add “and then…”

Psychological and physical

Imagine being forced to rip off your significant other’s fingernail.

And you might say “There’s no way I’d do that”

Sadly you will. Either to save yourself or them from more torture.

You will do it, we all would. That’s scary.

Sweet Gherkins

It’s because of the tree’s “shadows” on the lake.

There is a dirty spot right where a shadow should be on the right trees and the tree in the yard blocks all the shadows of where the other trees should be.

If you removed the tree and cleaned the wall it wouldn’t look like a lake at all.
