It's not that you asked for a link, it's your low effort way of asking that implies you are already skeptical of the information.

"Hey! I googled to look for it and I'm having a hard time finding where it officially says the statute. Mind sharing a link?"

They probably would have said "No problem. Let me google that for you. Here..."

They are called Window breaker safety hammers because they are shaped like hammers, and you use it like a hammer.

They make window breakers on emergency flashlights for vehicles. Those aren't called hammers, but an emergency flashlight with a window breaker.

You can take 1% of anything, then multiply as well.

Like 7% of 15.50

1% is .155 (10% is moving decimal to left once, 1% is twice)

.155 × 7 = 1.083

That's a hard one to do in your head, but .155 × 7 is easier to do on paper than 15.50 × .07.

Say something is 49.99 and 7% off. 1% is .5. .5 ×7 = 3.5. You could probably do that in your head. Otherwise, good luck trying to do 7% of 50 in your head.

Edit: Hmm. So you could also do 3.5% of 100 instead of 7% of 50. That would have been the easiest way to do that one.

Bonus: I thought I'd mention 11s. They are my favorite thing in math because they are so easy and you seem like a math wizard to anyone.

Say you have 42 × 11. That's 462.

You just split apart the 4 and 2, add 4 and 2, then stick it in the middle.

Something like 67 × 11. Where the digits add >10.

6...7, 6+7=13, 6+1...3...7. So 737.

You can remove the decimal then add it back at the end

15.50

Is

1500

Half would be 775

Or 7.75

Jake being bad at acting could have been a shtick

Like "Jake you're famous now! We need you to do commercials!" Jake "But I can't act!"

libertery mutual, a company that is referenced in the meme, even does this with a real actor that acts like he can't act.

Jake from state farm was supposed to be a normal dude. Him not being an actor probably makes his delivery that much better

Replacing Jake with a professional actor seems wrong. It's no longer "Jake"

Not saying I don't like the song. Great song

Just the song hits slightly different after you realize what "Relax, turn around and take my hand" can mean.

That you can screw in without drilling a pilot hole like with some drywall anchors?

Stinkfist - Tool

You think from the title it would be obvious. Never thought why it was named like that until after I realized what the song was about.

Drywall anchors? That's got to be a solid stone wall. I don't think you can use drywall anchors.

Well you could drill out large holes and fill with spackle, then insert the drywall anchors into those areas.

Yeah should work just fine

I just realized that El Paso is actually in MST. They must have hated it so bad not to stick with the rest of Texas. But whoever lives in the farthest point west but still in CST is being screwed. Same with EST.

Funny the section of Texas that is in MST is three tiny blocks, basically the same width as all of Michigan. Texas is big lol.

Michigan should probably move to CST

When I think of Colorado I think of it being way north. You could live in Colorado and be as north as someone living in Raleigh NC almost. That's wild.

Yeah Colorado seems to appear to be all up to preference on the choices. It's at the start of a time zone. People on the east lean towards permanent MDT, People on the west lean towards permanent MST.

Im guessing that you live towards the west side. Yet if most people around you seem to want it, then maybe you live on east side lol
