Here's a different example of this method for those who wonder why it's taught this way: 600-50=? This is so simple for most of us that we don't write it down. In our heads we start at 50. We add 50 to get to 100. Then we count by 100s to get to 600. So our counting would sound something like "50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600." One 50, five 100s. Our answer is 550. For this problem, all the writing says is "12, 13, 14, 15, 20, 30, 31, 32." Three 1s, one 5, one 10, two more 1s. 3+5+10+2=20. It's a method for doing the math in yoir head, most of us do it this way everyday. We've just never seen it written out so it looks strange.

I think some clarification is needed here. These signal boxes were not INSIDE buildings. They were outside, on street corners. A person would run down to the corner to pull the lever and signal the firemen to come to that location. A lock like this would just be to deter kids on the corner from pulling it for no reason.

People who say "you should exercise" and "I'm just worried about your health" are 90% of the time talking to people they don't know and don't actually care at all about health. They just have a weird, raging urge to insert themselves in somebody else's (admittedly bad) choices even though it usually has nothing to do with them.

This story is a mess from beginning to end...on one hand, the guy was trying to find her parents. On the other, at one point the child apparently became visibly agitated and tried to escape from him, so he picked her up against her will and carried her on. The child's father and two other men apparently found him headed to the parking lot with her and believed she was being kidnapped. It was the child's father who assaulted the guy, and as of printing the father still doesn't think the man is innocent. I just...why would you take the kid anywhere!? Stay right there! Parents will be looking! If you can, send another bystander to ask around for parents, don't walk the kid away. You have to remember even if you're trying to help, this is a chikd and you're a strange adult, you can do some damage if they don't fully understand what's going on.

Instagram models can make thousands of dollars in a week just because they have tons of followers and are photogenic...which is what modeling is. If they're making a living off it, then they're a legit model. Walking for fashion houses isn't the only definition of the word.

I love how the dudes just lose their shit like seeing that just made their whole week.

Because when they drown those kids out of unadulterated patriotism and oaths against terrorism, they go to jail.

Kathy Griffin is one of those people who used to be funny and cool but can't change with the times. The last time I watched one of her stand ups I had to roll my eyes and turn it off. And now she can't even do anything mild or even i teresting without it seeming like attention whoring because she does that so much these days.

All the respect to the people who explore this awesome shit. I can't even go down into my basement without all the lights on and a weapon within reach.

No birth control is 100% effective. And a few decades ago it was worse, so half my generation is comprised of surprises, accidents, and mistakes.

That crown is amazing and I need one to live.
