Yup, I have a Litter Robot 4 and we love it. It saves a ton on little costs, but was a massive upfront cost.

Easier to travel and the litter stay clean, it's always clean for the cats and they love it. We're big fans.

Seconding OpenCourseWare. I used that a lot before and during undergrad (engineer with math minor).

I do recommend checking out the "fun" math videos as well because you'll learn a lot and it's fun, like Numberphile, 3 blue 1 brown, etc

Idk where to draw the line with it being illegal for them to sell real copies. Like, what if it's a really good fake? Are they gonna send out each and every game? They can't spend $20 making sure a $10 game is legit.

No clue what to do about it honestly

I was pretty sure of this too, and someone who used to work for the FDA told me it was calculated not measured 99% of the time

Here's a good video with some supporting evidence. I've looked it up for a couple foods; calculated calories on em

Oh huh, that's interesting. I'll definitely have to check that out

If they're cheap and common games, I don't think it's a big deal to have fakes mixed in if it doesn't bother the buyer either.

Now for more rare stuff, it matters more. Feels like mtg cards, where a certain threshold it should be graded for authenticity and condition

I expect it's a South Park reference. 'member South Park?

Actually, missing because of a high-side on a motorcycle years ago. I did break some bones, but also tore through the ligament. Well, I guess it died from lack of being attached or whatever and was gone by the time they got an MRI on it

It allowed the bicep to regularly pop out of the humeral groove, which I assure you was not pleasant

I had some chronic shoulder pain for years. Primary physician was like "yeah that sucks". 2 specialists were like "yeah, old collarbone injury I guess? Take Advil"

Years later, third specialist opinion found a missing ligament and did surgery.

Moral of the story is that you should get a few opinions here, maybe the first isn't right

Obviously a good joke, and of course obligatory cal/kcal discrepancy here. This just seems like a good place to put this info:

Calories on labels are for calories absorbed, not for calories in the food (same with the 4/9/4 rule). So it'd be much less for gasoline, if it were possible to label with nutritional info.

A team? Hell, Ferrari is a good weekend away from being in the mix too. 3 way WCC fight with 7 people fighting for race wins? Incredible.
