By this definition, Xolo wouldn't fit because the x in Xolo is somewhere between sh- and ch-. It's a Nahuatl word and many (if not all) Xs are sh-/ch-.

Sorry for being pedantic.

Either "I'm not dead yet" or "I'm still alive" with a somewhat halfhearted "I guess..." Trailing behind.

Once upon a time I was a little more cheerful and gave answers like "Celebrating my streak of consecutive days lived".

Free: gently used jerk-off-chair. Never bare-assed it, but spritzed with fabreez anyway. Sticky texture is from woodfinish/varnish. Should hold most earthly humans, but if you're worried about it holding your weight, you can come try it out. Pick-up only.

"I'm alive" is an appropriately ambiguous answer, imo.

I think the y-axis shows number of kids.

I agree with what you're saying though—3 points does not make a compelling statement. I also agree that a better metric probably exists than what was posted. I'd add on and would like to know what the error bands represent—standard error, confidence intervals, or something else?

This is a valid point, and therein lies the brilliance of Trumpism—he rattles off enough inane babble, no one can remember exactly what he said at any given moment, nor can anyone be certain about what it is he meant even with on-the-record statements.

There is no object truth with convicted felon Donald J. Trump—just relative truths where the narrowest window is blown completely out of proportion and we're left with interpreting the exact size of said window.

The worst part about this is that we're left in the lurch squabbling over what is essentially word diarrhea. At this point, to most of us here, I don't think it actually matters any more what he said—he's a shit person spewing shit from his mouth and he has no business leading a country, let alone a business, and we agree on that.

But the objective truth is important, partly to hold ourselves to a higher standard than convicted felon Donald J Trump, but also to clarify misinfo as much as we can for the sake of posterity.

You forgot to list other Trump records:

Most felonies for a candidate of a major party. Most impeached candidate Only candidate to have advised the public to inject or drink bleach

I'm sure I'm forgetting some others.

I definitely recommend going to the Butter Museum in Cork which is essentially a Kerrygold museum.

my favorite feature is that it's a smart device—you connect it with your phone via proprietary app and it tells you the temperature of your counter top. Also for a low monthly subscription fee it will also recite the screen play of a random episode of friends in 4 languages simultaneously, none of which are English, Spanish, Arabic, or Mandarin.

I think a large part of the competitive pricing comes from subsidies by the Chinese government to produce these cars, not necessarily because China's innovated some miraculously cheap vehicle.

Granted, Western, Japanese, and Korean automakers placing emphasis on SUVs (at least in North America) certainly doesn't make the pricing of cars (electric or ICE) any better. It's also true that Western governments can similarly subsidize EV manufacturing, but keep in mind that a lot of hurdles that exist in the west to pull off such a task don't exist in China—there is no opposition party that might slow down or kill legislation. Add to that the access China has gained globally via Belt and Road likely makes obtaining raw materials a lot cheaper too.

This is all to say that boiling it down to an attitude problem is a little too reductive.

When you carry it around, do you carry it fold up or fold down? Or carry it flat? If so, West Coast up or east coast up?
