Mildly interesting

the age old feud between wild boars and humanoid robots. Probably see peace in the middle east before those two get along.

Seinfeld, but everyone is Asian.

There was probably at least one person in SD who was trying acid for the first time that night.

@Horace In addition to the above interesting video, I also learned that there is a formula for figuring out how long the chain should be

Vessel size (LWL): Length Overall (LO) - 2 x Beam
Draft (D): Depth of water below the vessel’s keel
Cargo type: Liquid, dry bulk, or general cargo

Results:
The results of this study are presented in the following formulas:

Cargo ships: Minimum chain length (Lc) = 0.5 * LWL + 2 * D
Tankers: Minimum chain length (Lt) = 0.7 * LWL + 3 * D
Passenger vessels: Minimum chain length (Lv) = 0.9 * LWL + 4 * D

Where our tax money goes.

@jon-nyc Interesting and not as much difference as I thought. Big difference is in social protection.

[Doctor Phibes]

So the the government of the country without universal healthcare spends more than all the countries with it?

[Mik]

Yes, that's interesting, but so many factors play into that. The spending alone doesn't really tell the whole story.

Like TG I was struck by how similar they were.

[jon-nyc]

I wish they included interest on debt.

[Mik]

That's in other.

[jon-nyc]

Actually the text says it’s in ‘Public Services’.

It’s the public’s debt and it is debt service, after all. So I guess that makes sense.
