@HarryStebbings Avg (American) commute is ~30 min, so ~1 hour/workday, x260 workdays/year = ~32 workdays/year of time dedicated to work that's not paid (opportunity cost). ~1 month/year/employee.

136M Americans commute. Avg monthly income: $6228. Total cost, ~$850B/yr.

Is my math wrong? 🤔

[J. Nelson Leith @leithliterary]

@tuuu28283 I do not. I own several fedoras (felt, leather, and straw) and some cocked hats or "tricorns" (leather and felt), as well as several baseball caps that are more souvenirs than actual clothing. I do have one straw beach hat that is in the basic shape of a cowboy hat.

@BenjaminPDixon @WallStreetMav How educated do you have to be to justify dropping from the top spot to #40?

@emilykmay If two people hug at a funeral, a graduation, a wedding, or just after a long separation, that’s intimate but not sexual.

But if you see those same two people making out in bed, any normal person is going to think they want to have sex.

[J. Nelson Leith @leithliterary]

@emilykmay "Non sexual touch" is a handshake, a high give, or a hug.

Make out in bed with another and try to explain to your partner or spouse that it was "non sexual touch." Good luck.

Why don't you just like what they like?

@DrunkRepub There's no way Americans wouldn't immediately start adding stuff and calling it "Carolina Pub Roll" or "Italian Pub Roll" and it would quickly just evolve into a regular sandwich.

@aelfred_D Since Peru isn't in the World Cup, it would be a miracle, so maybe he's just leaning toward that.

@wil_da_beast630 Drinking bad wine also works. There's nothing like cooperatively roasting a garbage product to bring two people together.

@GS_VCactivist @CreeCoder Moreover, the two Johns mentioned would be multi-billionaires in adjusted economic power, Rockefeller halfway to being a trillionaire himself.

@StephenLimbaugh Now, watch it be AI. 🙄

@StephenLimbaugh If someone put this in a movie, people would sneer that it was contrived and unrealistic. And, yet ... here it is.

@naeriface All the other placements are fairly benign (if we believed in that) so the conjunction is a neat surprise for people once they get to know me.

@wesyang I would need to see this adjusted for age, i.e., what were the numbers for pre-Z when they were Z's current age?

[J. Nelson Leith @leithliterary]

@naeriface you should try moon and mars conjunct in scorpio

not that i believe in it, either
