  • Yeah, when I went through school they didn’t teach it this why but that is what I taught myself, much more simple math (+ & - with no * or \) in the same amount of steps.

    Is that what they call Common Core? I’ve heard the term but didn’t know how it changed the method of teaching math.

    Leave it to my AuDHD brain to figure out a less strenuous path to the same endpoint…

    I wonder if this is an anxiety source for ASD/ADHD/AuDHD people. Having to constantly re-map lessons taught to fit my neurodivergent brain that it now feels like the entire neurotypical world is gaslighting neurodivergents.


  • Funny thing is, he does have a helicopter and his helicopter pilots license. Which he got in case of emergencies. After the LA fires this year I saw an interview with him where he was talking about it.

    He was making fun of himself because he got his license and the helicopter to flee things like the LA fire but helicopters are expensive and he couldn’t afford more than a 2-seater so he can’t take his whole family if he ever had to really use it.

    So my comment was based off a real thing he may say as to why he needed the money.

    Tbh though, I could see him going with that third one.





  • You’re right, I guess spin is the wrong word here since it is a PR term and Bill Burr isn’t a PR type of guy.

    I intended to mean, I wonder what he will say about this when he is publicly asked about it.

    I am assuming he will be blunt and honest with answers ranging from,

    “it’s none of your damn business”

    to

    “I needed a new helicopter that has more than 2 seats so I can evacuate my family from LA safely once shit hits the fan and I don’t want to put myself in a Sofie’s Choice kinda situation”

    or

    “Sorry, I wasn’t thinking when I accepted the job but donated the paycheck to the 9/11 families fund.”



  • It’s not lazy to ask someone who seems to know something about the topic within a discussion thread about said topic. You know more than I do on this.

    I understand how you may not want to take the time to answer someone’s question but also you could have replied with the link you eventually did instead of saying “Seriously?” Within the context of calling others lazy you could also qualify under the same term since you took the time to respond but not with the answer.

    With search being what it is nowadays I wouldn’t know if I am getting a good result to find out the answer since it is of a technical and specific nature I may or may not even know if I am familiar with to begin with. It could take me much longer to figure it out, or I will give up and not be interested in finding out more about a field you seem to have an interest and knowledge about and I am demonstrating I want to know more about.

    I think it is fair to ask for more information from someone who shows more expertise in the topic before searching.






  • Love the passion you have for this and you clearly have experience. Mango is my favorite fruit, by far.

    I have questions.

    *Why should I be shamed for cutting them into skinless squares?

    *If I didn’t eat them it with a fork should I still be shamed for cutting mango into skinless squares?

    *What is cutting into cups? Sounds like a style of cutting/preparing but also could be just the receptacle you use to hold the mango, so I am confused by the ambiguity.

    *It seems that your mango experience is South Asian centric, as you point out, but have you had much experience with Central/South American mangos? If so, how are they different from your preferred mango varietals?

    Thank you for the list of mangos I should try. I may have had several of them before as I have travelled through South Asia several times, but alas, it was in the less mango informed days of my youth.

    Keep on keeping on, mango buddy!



  • I rank The Living Daylights and License To Kill the same way.

    A Dalton led GoldenEye would be one of the first movies I track down if I ever find myself in a slightly different universe to our own where all those “almost happened” movies ended up being made. Like Tom Selleck as Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark, Eric Stoltz as Marty McFly in Back to the Future, Jerry Smith in Cloud Atlas or a Stanley Kubrick directed A.I.

    I sometimes think how fun it would be to have access to a Multiverse Video Store. It would exist outside of all the different universes but have all the movies that were never made, or were made differently.

    I don’t want to jump between universes and get involved in all that hijinks, but a video store that stocks its shelves from all universes would be fun to explore.
