Your logic is correct, but you are off by 1.
0-1 is year 1
10-11 is year 11

ELI5 answer?
In the conventional calendar, there wasn’t a year zero and it wasn’t skipped. Zero is the moment in time that we use to begin counting time.
Think of an elementary school style number line: …-3_-2_-1_0_1_2_3…
Each number is one year apart. This makes the numbers measure something like Age. If you are 3 years old, you can count 3 years between 0 and 3.
But a year is not an Age. It is the span of time between ages, and the years we name are actually the spaces between the numbers on the number line. So the first year (1 AD/CE) is the first space after zero (between 0 and 1), and the first negative year (1 BC/BCE) is the first space before the 0 (between -1 and 0).
Then there is the astronomical calendar, which does have a year zero. They get this by naming the year (the space on the number line) after the number to the right side of the space on the number line.
Most other platforms do one or several of those things much better than FB, but FB is a one stop shop and has enough stuff to keep to keep users engaged
Yes. Theoretically they can drive people away and make more money if the people they haven’t driven away spend more for less goods.
Let’s imagine on a normal lunch hour I sell 100 burgers at lunch for $4. If I raised my price to $4.50, I’d only sell 80 burgers. If I raised the price to $5 then I’d only sell 50 burgers If a burger costs me $3 then I normally make $1 a burger, but at the middle price I make $1.50, and $2 at the high price.
100 burger x $1 = $100 profit
80 burgers x $1.5 = $120 profit
50 burgers x $2 = $100 profit
The trick is figuring out how changing price will affect demand without pissing all your potential customers off. Restaurants already do dynamic pricing with Happy Hour and Taco Tuesdays etc. They give a “discount” to entice more people to come in when they are less busy.
RNC is definitely going to cover his legal judgements now.
Fair point.
Luckily, digging through OP’s article, I have found the data!
Together, Kroger and Albertsons would control around 13% of the U.S. grocery market; Walmart controls 22%, according to J.P. Morgan analyst Ken Goldman.
That’s what airplane mode is. Try it out in the control center. It doesn’t disable my WiFi unless I had WiFi disabled when I last turned airplane mode off. Similar with Bluetooth except turning airplane off turns my Bluetooth on even if I had it off before.
Of course, an OS update or a reboot might reset the value of the previous WiFi state. 🤷♂️
Hmmm….
Kroger: 2,750 stores in 35 states and the District of Columbia
Albertsons: 2,273 stores in 34 states
Total 5,023 stores. Presumably some would close due to proximity after the merger.
Walmart: 5,214 stores in the US
I smell a break up!!!
Eventually, either the boulder or the hill will erode enough that the task will be trivial.
Something interesting enough to you to keep your attention to stop your mind from wandering and working itself into a tizzy, but not so intense or dynamic as to keep you up thinking about it.
I like to listen to The Empty Bowl and a couple other podcasts at 70% speed. There are even podcasts out there, like Sleep With Me, specifically meant to help you doze off.
A bunch of posts are saying see a GP and/or Psychiatrist, and absolutely do that. But also make sure you have a working carbon monoxide detector in your home (you should have one anyway). This vaguely reminds me of that one Reddit post.
The sad part is that both of you are correct.
It was settled mainly by Puritans, a Calvinist flavor of Christians that thought the Church of England was too Catholic. If you’ve heard the term “puritanical” it comes from them.
The pilgrims specifically, were the sect that was the first to land in Massachusetts, and sought to break away from the Church of England.
Harken, to the the tale of the birth of Massachusetts…
This is the second time I’ve seen cheddar bay waffles recommended. Fuck it! I have a box of this in the cupboard and a pizzelle maker. I’ll report back next weekend.
That is why there are second opinions and ultimately it is the patient’s choice even if two doctors agree.
I 100% agree with this, but it wasn’t the question.
The question was whether parents can override the choice of patient when the patient’s choice is supported by a doctor’s recommendation. And more specifically, whether parents can deny a reversible puberty delaying hormone treatment against the patient’s wishes and force the patient to undergo puberty against their will.
I think this chart is out of date
I did not wake up this morning expecting to read someone claiming that Canada is an island.
Townsends has a video on flips. He might have used a historical word for it.
