2024-07-20 at 6:10 AM UTC in (Aldra Pls Answer)What are some important Maritime Choke Points?choke points in what context? because some of those could be closed without significantly impacting shipping but would incur extra travel time/costs, like how Yemen has effectively shut down the Strait of Hormuz for some ships, creating a significant imbalance in costs for friendly/unfriendly shipping without fully stopping traffic.
the Sea of Japan/East China sea near Japan and South Korea isn't really a chokepoint per se but it's one of the most important regions of control for current global shipping routes; it's a large part of why the US insists on maintaining bases there. -
2024-07-19 at 10:34 PM UTC in (Hi Aldra)Elasticity of Demand and Consumer Perception of other expenses.
the initial purchase price of a good is usually the only expense used to measure a good's change in demand relative to it's change in price.
Source? The AI says otherwiseThe statement is not true. The initial purchase price of a good is an important factor, but it is not the only expense considered when measuring a good's change in demand relative to its change in price. The concept being referred to is price elasticity of demand, which examines how sensitive the quantity demanded of a good is to a change in its price.
However, several other factors can influence demand besides the initial purchase price. These factors include consumer income, the prices of related goods (such as substitutes and complements), changes in consumer preferences and tastes, expectations about future prices and availability, seasonal effects, and the number of buyers in the market. Each of these factors can affect how demand responds to changes in price, making the initial purchase price just one of many elements that need to be considered. -

Do you have an answer or are you just going to bitch and moan?
Thanks.
I mean yeah it’s a pretty simple question you just worded it in a way using lots of buzz words to make you seem smarter.
You’re basically asking “will consumers prefer a product that costs the same but has less ongoing future costs?!”
Obviously the answer is yes, if they are aware of the costs. So the real question is what is the product, what are the market conditions, how long has the product been available, is the consumer base knowledgeable on the product about ongoing maintenance costs, what is your brand awareness and brand loyalty, things like that. Without knowing these and other variables it’s a pointless question -

2024-07-17 at 2:52 PM UTC in 8 Minuute Meals with BradleyBI'm so good at this shit, like it's sad all the single moms I know who feed their kids chicken nuggets and tator tots or banquet meals (my mom, included) because they're too tired after work or w/e
Now as an adult I make really cheap, quick meals like nothing.
Total cost of this meal is about 1.50$ as the title suggests this took me less than 10 minutes to prepare, cook, and clean up.
Chop up 4 white mushrooms, 1/2 an onion, 5 little slices of jalepeno, 1 tooth of garlic, get that going with a tiny bit of butter and a splash of water, cover.
Take your precooked rotisserie chicken and I just grabbed a chunk out of the breast, about 1/2 a titty maybe a little more. and I just shared that shit with my hands to make it a lot bigger.
A handful of spinach, that I do chop with a knife, into about 1inch wide slices. I squeezed half a lime on it the other half I squeezed on my genitals to prevent easily treated STDs.
At this point the mushrooms a ND onijons are half way finished cooking (or so), I put the chicken in the center and spread the mushrooms & onions to the sides, I add a little worsheisesiesstesieseshire sauce to them, cover.
I do all the dishes from the knifes, cutting board, clean up all that shit and put everything away.
WOw 7 minutes after we started I plate up the food.
while it's cooling I wash the pan and spactula. So there's no mess once or anything left to clean once I start eating. Oh and I wipe down the stove.
Oh and i didn't think the chicken would be that good (it was) so I added some BBQ sauce/Sweet Baby Rays right tat the end to a corner.
I also had hot sauce but didn't need it, shit turned out pretty well.
Why can't drunk single parents cook like this for their developing dependents? Sad. Why don't grown ass men I know eat like this instead of making Mac & Cheese with hot dogs cut up in it or worse yet Ramen Noodles with a handful of cheese on it.
Fucking nasty bro, I'll eat my chicken breast, spinach, and vegetables any day over that shit.
Niggas go to work at a hard ass construction job, and come home and noursih their body with: Little Cesears Cheese Pizza & Mountain Dew. And offer me some and I Have to politely decline since I don't eat things that leave grease stains on your hands/clothing/papertowels/plates and I don't consume soda. Sheesh no wonder these people die early.
Go to work on an empty stomach to do hard labor for 8-12 hours int he sun, eat McDonald's during lunch break, eat little Caesars pizza before they shower and sleep. Whoel time they're out there just drinking more soda, energy drinks or water.
Not me bro. -

"Hey can I have your permission to post your nude photos on my website?"
Or "Can I have your explicit permission to post your nude photographs on my site? THey are of a very high quality."
but basically imply that I have their nudes and want to post them. If they ask to see them I am considering saying "I can't release the images without your consent." etc etc etc -
2024-07-14 at 5:05 PM UTC in Make my subway orderI had a funny idea to combine whatever Trumps favorite sub is and add a bunch of hot sauce and get it toasted on one side to represent his shot and bleeding ear
and extra onions to represent the tears of America
but there is no info about what kind of subs Trump orders except this sketchy articleTo: Team@Trump.org
From: PR@Trump.org
Subj: [URGENT] Subway Talking Points
Team,
“It’s not just that I trust Sam Sax’s imagination. My sincere belief is that Sam’s creative freedom unlocks the potential for our liberation.”
—Saeed Jones
Quick reminder: Under no circumstances can Mr. Trump be seen holding a Subway sandwich. As you may recall from our briefing in July, the standard size of six-inch and footlong Subway sandwiches are damning sources of scale. A photo of our candidate holding one of these sandwiches would provide concrete evidence to the claim his hands resemble those of an eleven year-old boy’s.
So far we’ve done a great job of avoiding photo ops involving Subway. We can all recall times Mr. Trump has sent us to order his beloved Italian BMT on Italian Herbs & Cheese Subway sandwich. I don’t need to remind you that photographic proof of our next president holding this sandwich would not only highlight his petite, non-presidential hands, but also his love for “ethnic” sandwiches, which wouldn’t sit well with our base.
Let’s not rest on our laurels — surely, the media will soon connect the dots. Whether they find Trump eating Subway or not, I’m sure they’ll ask for comment. In case Trump’s explicit avoidance of Subway is dredged up by the media, I’ve compiled talking points to deflect any possible questions or critiques we may encounter.
1. Subway is just as unhealthy as McDonald’s.
In preparation for Trump’s eight-year stay in the White House, he’s been following a healthy diet. One of the best diets. If needed, his doctor will provide a note proving this. This is the reason you won’t find Trump eating Subway. It has nothing to do with the sandwich providing scale and highlighting his less-than-average hand size.
“A key barometer of the literary climate.” —The New York Times
If the media suggests this is an invalid claim, as Trump has been photographed eating food even more unhealthy than Subway, refer to Talking Point 2.
2. Subway’s bread contains Azodicarbonamide, the same chemical used to make yoga mats.
Donald Trump will not eat anything that is also used to make yoga mats. Trump has never practiced yoga, an Indian ritual, ever in his life. If they want to see a politician get into a pretzel-shape, ask Hillary Clinton about her email! Absolutely no reason that Trump would be scared to hold a Subway sandwich because his hands would look diminutive in comparison.
If the media points out Subway’s bread no longer contains Azodicarbonamide, refer to Talking Point 3.
3. Mr. Trump prefers to support local businesses.
A salt-of-the-Earth man like Trump does not eat at huge corporations like Subway. He eats at the same places Joe Everyman eats. Use this opportunity to plug a local business, claim that Donald loves to eat there. (Note: Cheryl, PLEASE check that the restaurant you plug is not a chain. How have you not heard of Bertucci’s?) This is a more than sufficient reason to avoid Subway — it has nothing to do with Trump’s hands looking small while holding a Subway sandwich, and claiming otherwise is simply absurd.
Winner of the John Newbery Medal. "Here is a book that is truly for all ages, as only the best stories are."
—Isaac Fitzgerald, The Today Show (author's pick)
If the media identify photos of Donald consuming large corporate fast-food products such as McDonald’s and KFC, refer to Talking Point 4.
4. Mr. Trump will not associate with losers like Jared Fogle.
Our next president will not be associated with convicted sex offender and former Subway spokesman, Jared Fogle, in any way. Donald Trump is our only presidential candidate of character, and values — values that do not align with Jared Fogle. (Do not mention the fact Jared Fogle has endorsed Trump, as this is not a sought-after endorsement.) Trump will not compromise his character for a sandwich — a sandwich that may very well be delicious — we have no idea. Trump would gladly hold a Subway sandwich in his hands, if he had a good reason to. But he doesn’t. So he won’t. End of story.
If the media points out this defense is invalid, and frankly unfair, since Jared Fogle is in no way associated with Subway anymore, refer to Talking Point 5.
5. Subway is losing money.
By this time, I hope this point is self-explanatory. Follow the game plan. Get on the offensive: Subway has been making very bad deals. Claim you’ve seen their numbers, and they are very bad. Not losing-916-million-dollars-in-one-year bad (by the by, NEVER use the number 916 million — no matter what the context) but bad all the same. Do not explain which numbers, or why they’re bad. But confirm, they’re the worst numbers you’ve ever seen. It’s very sad, actually. You think a winner, co-author of The Art of the Deal, would actually eat at Subway? This has nothing to do with hand size. It never did. Trump’s hands are completely normal-sized, and we’ll bring anyone to court who says otherwise.

If you’ve exhausted all of these points to no avail, make a remark about Trump’s daughter. Make it unclear if she is an object of Trump’s fatherly affection or something else. While the press look at each other quizzically, tersely conclude the meeting and exit the room. It’s much better to end on these puzzling terms than to expose the truth.

she was specifically brought in to court black voters but she's not black and she represents the exact kind of corruption and nepotism in the justice system that's been used against them since at least the 80s -

2024-06-15 at 8:50 PM UTC in B-rad Slip Slop w/ DirectionsRemember the goal is to do this fast but don't cut yourself.
4 white mushrooms sliced
half a yellow onion sliced
6 jalapenos slices
2 garlic teeth minced
In a separate bowl I like doing the instant rice which still takes 10 minutes in a microwave. I do 11.
While that's microwaving add the above mentioned ingredients to a pan with a TUBE OF STEW GRADE BEEF (Cheapest)
Cook for 8 minutes.
Drain, now add the star of the show.
Any sloppy Joe mix will do. Mix that all together. At this point I microwaved the 2 cups of mixed vegetables.
so a cup of white rice, half the meat & sauce, then a cup of vegetables. I made 2 bowls like this
Easy, costs like nothing, mildly healthy. Tasty. -
2024-06-09 at 10:05 PM UTC in Make my subway orderI call this order "Jared Fogles Last Meal"
Fogle added that he is currently in top shape due to a “rigorous fitness” regimen. “I run four to five miles every day and am the most healthy and in shape I’ve ever been,” he wrote. “We don’t have a lot of control over our daily lives in prison but working out is one of the things I can control. I currently weigh 180 pounds.”
At his heaviest, in 1998, when he was a student at Indiana University, Fogle weighed 425 pounds. He claimed to have lost some 245 pounds on his Subway diet.
A fellow prisoner had reported that Fogle was studying culinary arts in prison, but that is “wrong,” the former Subway pitchman wrote. “Covid protocols [over] the past two years have limited the programming being offered here at F.C.I. Englewood.”
