First off, $27,574 is $13.25 per hour, assuming the standard salary 40 hour weeks or $15.15 assuming hourly employee's standard 35 hour work week. This got me thinking: if kingreggieisreal got simple division wrong, what else did they get wrong...

Keeping in mind that conversion rate records from the time are lacking, from what we can surmise, in 1843 (when this story took place), a week's 15 shillings (£0.75) was worth about £110.90 today ($147.84 US). This would be about £5,766.8 per year ($7,688.76 US), or £2.77 per hour ($3.70 US) assuming 40-hour weeks, or £3.17 per hour ($4.22 US) assuming 35-hour weeks.

I'm not really sure what maths kingreggieisreal is using, but it seems flawed.

Crowdfunding

As in, the people of Detroit wanted this enough to pay for it out of their own pockets? If so, I don't think they understand what they just did...

Edit. Spelling.

That scene was, arguably, one of the most beautiful pieces of art I've seen in theater. I've always assumed that the cookie was a tracking cookie, and that that's how she was always able to find him and be able to understand everything he's been through the moment she saw him the next times. Of course, you would only get that if you understood the wordplay in the first place.

maybe you just need a Snickers.

Yeah, maybe. But I can't fucking afford it!

I'm testing the edit now. If it checks out, I'll upload it to a Send instance. Is it fine with you if I DM you the link?

UX almost always takes a back seat to that

If it even makes it on the bus in the first place

Are we all ready for the inevitable "FLOSS is bad, and here is why" flood of bullshit?
