For sure. Reversing the percentages here makes this far more difficult. I just felt we needed to shittify this post a little.

Great for calculating tips!
Let's see: the bill was $138.72, so I just need 138.72% of 20. And we can subtract 100% and just add the 20 back at the end, then convert the percentage to a decimal so (.3872 * 20) + 20 = 7.744 + 20 or $27.74.
Easy!

My insurance actually went down when I replaced my VW golf with an F150 lightning.
Conversely, my tabs cost 7x more.
But in CA, the value of the vehicle is very impactful and there's an additional $118 EV tax considered in registration fee calculation.

Mine was more like 470%, so yeah, I can believe that's the average increase.

It has been a minute since I've seen Southland Tales. What a trip! Time for another rewatch.
Stellar list overall too!

Exactly.
We cannot afford to fall victim to the Nirvana fallacy.
We must work within the system to change the system or we risk being excluded entirely.

Meet Atticus
Happened to us with one of our old ladies who passed a couple years ago.
She was walking around all hunched for a day or so, yowling at everything. We got lucky though, the vet used a rectal thermometer and that unclogged the pipes in quick fashion!

Senator Cory Booker filibuster against the trump administration Megapost
From the CNN article:
The speech is not a filibuster because Booker is not blocking legislation or a nomination. The Democratic senator’s speech will keep the Senate floor open – and floor staff working as well US Capitol police members detailed to the chamber – for as long as he continues speaking, but lawmakers had concluded voting on Monday before he began his remarks.
So purely performative. Not a filibuster.
I mean if it's a first step and others follow, then good. But why not filibuster a nomination you disapprove? (I have no clue if filibuster applies to a cloture vote. These fucking stooges and their silly made up rules of decorum...)
