eKaneomics

I profess to understand economics and explain lessons distilled from that field. I also like movies.

@coybowaco11 @EdLatimore Lol, we were lucky to have a coach who ran with us. He's still out there putting in miles. Aged 50+ and still running competitive times (for his age bracket) in marathons.

@mthead141 @EdLatimore I never really paid attention (I was a terrible runner, ~20 min 5ks, only ran to get out of the house), but I do remember Nogales High School were absolute units, their entire 6-man team would cross the finish line before one person from the other schools.

@BBHerodotus As a kid, learned from Archie Comics "hors d'oeuvres" were little snacks.

Didn't learn for many years that it wasn't pronounced like "whores divorce".

Unfortunately no funny sorry about getting corrected.

@binarybits The flip phones, like the Samsung Flip, got close enough for me. Much easier to hold in my pocket than most regular ones.

I don't think I can go back to a regular tablet-sized brick anymore.

@ThymeToBeBorn I went to a pretty ghetto HS, and the AP/honors courses were 100% this. Just normal students whose parents weren't divorced.

Only like 4-5 of them scored above a 23 on the ACT.

@KaleenaRivera When i was a broke student from broke parents, my rich cousin's rich rusband saw me making a sandwich from canned tuna.

Cousin's hubby: "Oh man, you need to try fresh Tuna, you'll never go back to canned!"

Me: "Why would I do that? I can barely afford canned tuna?"

@Noahpinion Community, and the latter seasons of Boy Meets World

@cowincrisis Close your eyes and roll.

@brittilina Only learned this because when i got a mini fridge for my office, it came completely disassembled and i had to decide what orientation to install it as.

[eKaneomics @ekaneomics]

@ThymeToBeBorn I started silently taking my 3yo to his room and closing the door when he would tantrum.

Now when he starts, I ask him if he needs to cry in his room, and he'll either:

stop crying immediately and go play

or step in his room for 30 sec, pause, then come back out smiling.

@Di4mondD4y @80by8 This post got me to crack open my copy. Definitely worth a reread. Very absurdist humor.

@Chieftain_armor @DublinAirport Honest question: If you're gonna use stones/ice, why not just keep a bottle in the fridge?

i never had to read catch-22 in english class and while i was vaguely aware it’s a satire i didn’t realize this would mean it had twenty jokes per page

[eKaneomics @ekaneomics]

I remember reading it for fun freshman year, and giggling on the schoolbus.

I also remember getting emotional whiplash at the end of the book when the tone changes from:

"the world is run by insane people, and that's hilarious"

to

"the world is run by insane people, and that's horrifying"

@DeanTTraining I miss the days of bachelorhood when I would make food like this every sunday & eat it 6 days in a row for a month straight before switching things up.

My wife insists we cook every evening, and also alternate proteins, flavor profiles, veggies, etc. every day.

[eKaneomics @ekaneomics]

@mnolangray @vrgldh Everyone knows the real YIMBYs are the friends we made along the way.

@BradRTorgersen My wife's car is immaculate, as is her mom's.

The women on my side of the family though...

I can only imagine a good portion of it is nurture rather than nature.
