  • If the 300m people lived in the same area and you got a true random sample.

    Sunsets at 9:09 today in Michigan

    Sunsets at 8:04 today in California

    Sunsets at 8:34 today in North Carolina

    Sunsets at 7:57 today in Alabama

    Sunsets at 7:38 today in Arizona (They are on standard time)

    Sunsets at 7:13 today in Hawaii

    Sunsets at 11:36 today in Alaska

    Someone in Arizona might want the sun to set at 7:38. It’s blazing hot all day.

    Someone in Michigan might be fine with sunsetting at 8:08 with standard time.

    Someone in Alabama might not want the sun to set at 6:57.

    Someone in Hawaii probably doesn’t want the sun to set at 6:13.

    Even if you split up the 1000 people to equally represent all states, that’s only 20 people per state.

    Good take

    I wouldn’t even be against sharing some information so they could give me better ads

    I’m not in the market for a new car. I don’t need car ads.

    But knowing I shop at Something Hardware a lot and they are having a spring black friday sale on the tool I’ve been eyeing would be nice.

    Even still Something Hardware just slapping their logo in an ad is not helpful at all.

    If ads were helpful they wouldn’t be annoying





  • He didn’t forge documents. He just didn’t want to tell the protagonist that he was the heir. I believe the letter also told him not to tell. So, in a way, he was fulfilling the dead mother’s wishes on that.

    Gustav’s was failing. Selling cheap food for profit might have been the only way to keep the business afloat. Yes, he tarnishes the name, but sometimes things have to be done, and he might have had to make that hard decision.

    Mean and selfish? Yes. Evil? No

    Ryobi is fine

    Other tools are better

    Internet likes to put down Ryobi but it’s not as bad as they make it out to be.

    My first power drill was Ryobi like 10+ years ago and still works to this day. I prefer using my Dewalt drill, it’s less clunky.

    No one wants to be a “Ryobi Guy”. Especially behind a screen where you can say you have any tool you want.

    Bosch makes my favorite hammer drill. My Makita sander works like a champ. I enjoy my Milwaukee packout toolbox.

    People get stuck on brands. And while with tools there are differences, Ryobi works just fine.

    I did burn out my Ryobi oscillating saw. But that’s the only Ryobi tool that has failed me and I have like a dozen of them. I really like my ryobi finish nailer.


  • I have Dewalt/Ryobi battery tools

    Ryobi usually lacks features

    Take for example an oscillating saw

    With my dewalt oscillating saw I can swap a blade or change the angle of the blade in 1 second because you just push down a lever. On the ryobi, you have to break out an allen wrench (which is stored in the tool) and loosen a bolt.

    Someone that might use the saw once every blue moon might not care that much, but someone who uses it every day it is a big deal.

    Also quality, Ryobi tools just feel cheaper.

    I buy important tools in dewalt and less important tools in Ryobi. Like my small leaf blower is Ryobi. No need to pay extra for the dewalt one because it’s just for quickly blowing off my walkway or front porch steps. If I need to move a lot of stuff I use my gas backpack blower, which is also Ryobi. Only problem I’ve ever had with it is the cord snapped a couple times, I think it has to do with how it rubs the grommet. Replaced the last time with a more heavy duty cord and haven’t had a problem since. Always starts in less than 3 pulls and very powerful.

    There are cons to Ryobi tools, but when looking at the top of the barrel tools the only con is usually the price.

    Easy way to do %

    Say you want 6% of 45

    Seems hard right?

    1% of 45 is .45

    .45 × 6 =

    .4 × 6 = 2.4

    .05 × 6 = .3

    2.4 + .3 = 2.7

    So 6% of 45 is 2.7

    Extra:

    Say you want an item that is 40 dollars and it is 20% off.

    10% is 4 dollars.

    20% is 8 dollars.

    So item would be 32 dollars.
