If you discount the clickbait title and thumbnail, it's a very interesting and entertaining video. I would describe the video as a fictional, historical documentary.

I know it's just a comic, but if I saw an unironic version of that in a museum, I wouldn't think any of it. It wouldn't seem out of place.

I've actually found it useful. I searched Reddit for a specific technical question and it responded with "Here's what other users asked, what people said in the comments, and the links to their posts.

Although, I did a standard search for Reddit, and the AI appeared instead of the results. I did not intentionally summon the AI. It's also terribly prone to hallucinations and lying.

I have 2 scrambled eggs, toast plus elderberry jelly, 2 sausage patties, and either a glass of milk or orange juice.

The choice tree is true, though. In high school, I used Arch Linux on my PC because I liked tinkering. Now that I'm in college, I'm using Fedora because I need something stable and don't have time to mess with it.

Every time I'm in a creepy place in the dark, I suddenly believe in the supernatural; other than that, no.

 

I've been enjoying Pokemon Black 2 on my DSi XL, but I'm looking for something that can emulate other systems.

Performance wise, I'm looking for something that can play 3DS/2DS games. I'll play only a handful of games to relive my childhood before moving onto other systems. I'm skipping the AYN Thor since in the long run, I'll be playing mostly single screen games.

I really want something portable and pocketable, but putting it in my school bag is an option.

It needs to have good battery life. I play for only a couple of hours a day, just in between college classes, but I would like for it to last a few days.

Depends on where you live. Most places have laws that permit relationships between "adults" and "minors" so long as they are close in age. Usually 2–3 year gap is acceptable.

Step 1: positronic brain

Step 2: make a fuck-ton of clocks

Step 3: profit

There are a lot of parts to inflation, but I'll do my best.

Money is used as a medium of exchange. It's convenient, easily countable, and an agreed upon unit of value. A dollar is a very, very small slice of the entire worth of the economy. As processes improve and production increases, the economy gets bigger. Because of this, we need more dollars to divide it into smaller pieces. The Federal Bank "prints" money to give us smaller pieces of the economy we can use. That's why we have "more" money. Your wealth is the same; it's just represented using more dollars. This is the Money Supply.

When you say inflation, and you're referring to the pinch you feel in your wallet, generally that's when the money supply grows faster than the economy is growing. For example, after WW1 Germany began increasing the money supply to repay loans for postwar reparations. But without the economy floundering and the money supply rapidly growing, they experienced intense inflation. The money people had was becoming a smaller slice of the same economy. It was becoming worth less.

Inflation is rather complicated. I had a whole semester about it in college, but generally, this is what it is.

Username checks out

 

I recently brewed my first batch of kombucha, and it turned out great, but I was disappointed with the yield. I took the new scoby, transfered it and some kombucha to a new jar, and filled it with more tea. My original jar looks very healthy and happy, but my new jar looks strange. Is this normal, or should I throw it out and start again?

This is the original, healthy batch for comparison.
