It’s not that you asked for a link, it’s your low effort way of asking that implies you are already skeptical of the information.

“Hey! I googled to look for it and I’m having a hard time finding where it officially says the statute. Mind sharing a link?”

They probably would have said “No problem. Let me google that for you. Here…”

Imagine it like a car steering wheel.

You’d say turning the wheel to the right turns the car right.

Think of it like this. Like your hand is holding on the top of the steering wheel.

It’s crazy to think that God intervened at the last possible second.

Like maybe give a hint to the SS that the guy was on the roof?

Like maybe make the gun jam or misfire?

Nope, God said, “I’m going to let the bullet graze his ear, lol. Oh yeah, Corey Comperatore, I’m just not going to intervene on that one…”

Trump could have at least made it in memory of Corey Comperatore. But nope, he’s got to make it about only himself.

Hey! USA Avocado industry would be thriving if Mexico wasn’t shipping all theirs in without a tariff.

But a sable genius once said. “What we have is a thing called the gasoline. We have gasoline. We have so much gasoline, we don’t know what to do. They don’t have gasoline. So why are we making a product that they dominate? They’re going to dominate.”

This was in reply to the question “How are you going to bring down the cost of food and groceries?”.

I think you can apply the same logic here. “What we have is a thing called the corn. We have corn. We have so much corn, we don’t know what to do. They don’t have corn. So why are we making a product [avocados] that they dominate? They’re [Mexico] going to dominate.”

You can donate blood in 20 minutes. It takes an hour plus to donate plasma

Am I going to sit in a chair for an hour plus without any compensation? Maybe once or twice here and there. But you can donate plasma at least twice a week.

It requires two donations for a single unit. If you donate once and don’t donate the second, then your first donation is unusable. You have to get them to donate twice.

When I was donating plasma, it paid about $75 for each donation. 50 first, 100 for second. The money is pretty good. $300 a month is a lot for a lot of people.

If you didn’t compensate people for plasma donations, a lot wouldn’t do it. They currently need more people to donate.

Plasma “donation” is a good thing.

Ability to act on freewill

You ask Chat GPT a question it is going to answer it becomes that’s what it has been programed to do. Input question, output answer.

Now if Chat GPT could be like “Nah I’m not going to answer that because I don’t feel like it”

Yes “AI” can be programed to not answer certain things. E.g porn stuff. But it does not make the conscious choice to do so it is following programming.

Disagree.

You can get all the practice you need during school hours.

Maybe we should stop learning about the Ming dynasty and memorizing the Canterbury tales if we needed more time for math practice.

Getting a new card will temporarily drop your score a few points.

If you’re like me that charges everything to a credit card, then you need a lot of available credit to keep the credit utilization low. You want it below 10%.

High credit utilization is going to drop your score more than opening a new card.

Say I have 1 card that has 15k limit. If I spend 10k on it. I have a 66% credit utilization. My score would be horrible.

Now, if I get 7 cards and each have 15k limits. If I spend 10k on them then I have less than a 10% credit utilization and my score would be good.

Can I get 1 or 2 cards that have credit limit of 105k. Yes. But I have found increasing limit is harder than getting a new card.

With a new card you can get 0% apr which is free borrowing of money for 12 to 15 months.

You can get a welcome bonus which are usually very good.

And you can set it up so that you might be getting more rewards like 5% cash back on dinning or other things that another card might not give.

Getting more cards has it’s advantages

I’ve always found it difficult to increase the credit limit on cards I have had.

My first card started at 400, and then after a while, I finally got approved for a credit line increase, and it went to 1000.

A couple of months later, I opened a new bank account and got their credit card. I had like a 15k credit line at the start.

I’ve never asked for a credit line increase again

However, add on some more cards, and now I have a hefty credit line

The best thing about getting a new card is the rewards and perks.

For example, I just got a new card with 0% apr for 15 months. I get to borrow money conveniently for over a year while making interest on it. I get to keep my money in my investment portfolio while making interest the whole year.

More cards with higher credit lines means I can spend more during that 15 months while not affecting my credit score. It keeps credit utilization low.

Yeah, credit cards are easy to abuse. You should always be able to pay off a credit card if need be. You shouldn’t be overspending. Emergencies unfortunately happen, but unless you have the money, you shouldn’t be swiping the card. Treating it like a debit card is the best policy.

My credit score is over 800 and I have 8 cards plus some store ones.

Getting more cards helps your credit score in the long run

No you don’t have to have a lot of cards to get a good credit score

But it does help

You want a ton of cards to get good credit

5% is a lot bigger than 1%

Rewards add up

You missed the point of what I was saying

2 tb flash drives are expensive but exist

Pigeon could carry 4 tb in 2 flash drives worth of weight.

But simply 3 1 tb drives a pigeon can carry so they did that.

If they had to transfer 5 tb of data to win. 3 2 tb drives would have worked.

This article just states that a pigeon can carry 3 1 tb drives and deliver it faster than gigabit internet.

They didn’t need to push the envelope anymore

So yes they calculated that the pigeon could carry 3 drives and that 3 tb was all that was needed to carry to win.

But they didn’t set up the experiment to favor the pigeon. They set it up to prove it could be done that way.

Yes and no.

If you could put a 1 petabyte flash drive on a pigeon, it would easily crush the gigabit internet

Does a 1 petabyte flash drive exist? Could it exist?

They put 3 stripped-down terabyte flash drives on the pigeon. Could it carry more weight?

You get to the point where the pigeon can’t carry the weight.

All this is saying that sending data by pigeon can be faster and using 3 tb sticks proves it.

If it needed to be 4 tb, then they would have had to use 4 sticks. If it couldn’t carry 4 sticks, then you have your answer that the pigeon can’t do it with current technology.

He only has to come up with 10% of total bail

Let’s say bondsman premium is 10%

So trump has to come up with 20k to give court

Bondsman wants a 2k fee to loan 20k and be on hook for 200k (This is probably low. Bondsman probably wants more fee and collateral)

So if trump keeps his 20k and puts it in a super special high yield savings account, it guarantees 10% return in the time between mugshot and court. (Unlikely)

He withdraws 22k from SSHYSA after appearing in court. He has to pay 2k (this is assuming he doesn’t have to pay the fee upfront). He will have 20k.

If he paid the bail in cash, he would have 20k.

He has 20k in both scenarios. No matter inflation, he has 20k spending power in both scenarios

Bail bondsman has to lend out 20k. Anyone using a bondsman is over a barrel. Their fee will be high. They also know they have to combat inflation themselves. If it’s better for them to put their money in the SSHYSA, then loan it out, they will.

It’s possible for him to make money but unlikely with fee being really low and SSHYSA being really high.

Inflation doesn’t really play a factor. Because investment into savings accounts doesn’t combat inflation. (This is the whole purpose of the fed wanting inflation, to deter people from savings, because spending helps drive economy) He’d have to use his current high purchasing power to buy something that is worth 20k today (Speed Boat) but worth 22k tomorrow because of inflation.

Doesn’t matter if the 20k is sitting in court’s coffers or SSHYSA. It’s affected by inflation the same.

I’m confused at what you mean

Inflation hurts the value of your current money

You always want more money

Giving away a fee would just mean he has less less worthless money

Best case scenario for him is he feels like keeping liquid capital is worth more than the fee and no one wanted to post bail for him.

$20k. Some people he knows just cracked a bottle of wine worth that. Yet none of them would post his bail.

That’s more telling than him just using a bail bondsman.
