Exactly, if only the three largest oil companies had to increase their production to account for the global shortage, the percentage increase would be more that 20% to make up for other companies not increasing. Please don't take this as me defending the oil companies, but instead me defending the math.

I hate seeing a chingling so much in battle. Almost as bad as seeing Oricorio.

I get this is just a meme, but this isn't how the percents work out. If global throughput is down 20%, each company needs to increase their own production by 20% to get the global throughput back to normal.

well the younglings murder was a genocide of the Jedi people. The rampage on the sandpeople tribe was murderous revenge

So that means everyone is either bi or ace?

It's probably more likely that straight people don't even exist. Everyone is a little bit gay.

But as an American we're free to decide which tax company is going to take our money, and also free to not have an accounting degree and mess up some math and then get audited. You can't put a price on freedom. /s

You would think that'd be the case... The tax system doesn't include the filing cost, private companies charge the fees and lobby the IRS to intentionally not make the process simple and free for Americans.

Ok, I think I get what you're saying. You mean have a different form input without the password, like how it's done here: https://eu.app.orcasecurity.io/login? I guess that's one way to do it, but it's not really intuitive from a user perspective, since the first thing you see is a password field, and then think you don't have access because you don't have a password. This one comes to mind because I have had to tell people to click the tab for the email only field, not email and password.

Amazing, yeah, that's my hesitation with switching and investing time, to get charged at the checkout.

Was it really $15.99 or is the marketing page hiding hidden costs for some situations (assuming you don't need support or audit defense).

Another Trumper full of regret.

"I liked his policies, mainly his support for education and affordable housing, said Shirley Wong, 70, of Bensonhurst, referring to Mamdani. "He seems to listen to us."

But less than a year ago, Wong cast her ballot for Trump. She cited the influx of migrants in her neighborhood, as well as the cost of living under President Joe Biden. But now, Wong said she regretted voting for Trump, citing the Big Beautiful Bill's projected cuts to Medicaid

TranscriptA post by Dr. Amy Psy.D. @dramypsyd@ohai.social saying: So I had to stop by Best Buy and the sales guy was going really hard trying to get me to sign up for the credit card. Like I said I didn’t want it and he was like “does YOUR card get you 15% off I don’t think so” and I was like buddy I know they make you push it but please stop and he was like actually they don’t, I just really like the Best Buy credit card. And then he wouldn’t tear my receipt off because he said the chemicals would take away his testosterone. Anyway this is why I shop online.
