That’s 600/yr and a long enough horizon that most diverse portfolios are likely to be net positive (I’m seeing about 5,000 gained with 8% growth in a basic savings calculator)

I’d spend those 10 years trying to free up cash flow but time’s a powerful weapon regardless

Theoretically? I’d imagine it’s equal (or close) to the difference between global money supply and global money supply but I don’t think that’s what you’re asking

At my work we have something in place that prevents somebody from sending to more than 50 recipients but we control our own mail servers and know how many people are in the largest department

Basically, things like this exist but aren’t necessarily intuitive to set up and defaults would require contextual knowledge

Different jobs are different

Sorry for rambling

I agree in spirit but a CPI applied to military expenditure would be adjusting for prices of irrelevant items and could become very skewed at such large scales

Admittedly I don’t know have a better idea either so… Guess I’m hoping somebody smarter than me can chime in

Not sure what the science is between 2 images with no source or timestamp and nearly 20 years of technological improvement between them is but this isn’t the peak of Katrina

Katrina ultimately reached its peak strength as a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson scale on August 28. Its maximum sustained winds reached 175 mph (280 km/h) and its pressure fell to 902 mbar (hPa; 26.63 inHg), ranking it among the strongest ever recorded in the Gulf of Mexico.

It probably refers to its stats at landfall

Katrina weakened to a Category 3 before making landfall along the northern Gulf Coast, first in southeast Louisiana (sustained winds: 125mph) and then made landfall once more along the Mississippi Gulf Coast (sustained winds: 120mph). Katrina finally weakened below hurricane intensity late on August 29th over east central Mississippi.

But power doesn’t equal damage for weather

[Katrina] is the costliest hurricane to ever hit the United States, surpassing the record previously held by Hurricane Andrew from 1992. In addition, Katrina is one of the five deadliest hurricanes to ever strike the United States

Science!

Nobody can answer this question for you but I think to the countless examples of people not “getting out while they can” who are now–or were until their death–forever trapped in a bad situation that people today forget wasn’t that bad even within living memory

Is it right for you? I don’t know

Is it cowardly to let a sense of national loyalty compel you to be exposed to the mechanisms of government wielded by untrustworthy actors? No, and anybody saying otherwise is lying to you at best; lying to themselves at worst

Inb4 any what aboutisms: nothing I’ve said here is specific to any country

Those are 2 very different questions

More people always read the top-level comment

Certainly cite sources when relevant but never argue with a reply

It said the 62-year-old had died from a “self-inflicted” wound on 9 March and police were investigating.

Assuming there’s nothing more insidious than what’s thus far reported and maybe even if there is, this would be far and away the most damming thing a person could do to Boeing in the long run

They didn’t even know what a control group was; “fraud” may be giving it too much credit

The experiment was little more than a political demonstration and I can confirm that was “old news” to my professors in the late '00s
