Since "the stock market" drives things like college endowments, pension returns, company hiring/layoffs, increase/decrease what you get "for free" (more like "included in the price"), more people than just "the rich" should be interested in what's going on in "the stock market."

Also, with fewer employers offering pensions and more companies offering 401ks with matching funds, it behooves all of us to understand how an investment every paycheck + matching + time can grow so that at some point, we have enough money to not have to work for pay. If you're prudent, that can happen long before social security eligibility. But, each of us better have *something*, and regarding the stock market as a "rich people's" concern will cause us to not have saved enough or grown the savings enough to be financially independent.

PLUS, even if you *want* to work into your mid-60s, health and layoffs may prevent that.

What if Mike's daughter Megan marries Pete's son? Does she become Megan Do Not Answer? Does she keep her maiden name and stay Megan Electric? Or maybe go with Megan Electric-Don Not Answer?

"Keep this thing, which is next to your sink and used while washing hands, from getting water on it."

I get not WASHING it, but "Yup, water will break it?"

If you was from suddern W'sconsin, ya'd be drinkin outta da bubbler.

It's a weird take to look down on *all* of your customers, who are your only reason for being able to be employed there.

The statement in the meme is true. However, blacksmithing skills are of no use to me and most others, while DIY skills are useful a LOT.

That meme seems so bizarre to me. Like, "yes, strange snot-nosed little kid, I do have games on my phone, but I'm not letting *you* play with it."

Maybe it's someone who needs some time alone to recharge after talking to others for hours, or just to read a magazine or newspaper.

Remember that "Simpsons" episode where the kids whined about having to do yard work, and then later at a computer game convention were engrossed in the "Virtual Yardwork" VR game?

Olympic bar with two plates on each side: "I'm here for you."
Heavy bag suspended from eye-hook in garage: "I'm here for you."
Skynyrd/Zeppelin/Who/Queen/ACDC Playlist: "I'm here for you."
My Belgian Mal holding a frisbee: "I'm ALWAYS here for you."

I once caught the garter at a wedding reception, and my girlfriend caught the bouquet. Man, did that start the old ladies chattering!

Plus, sometimes you don't know enough after all, but *do* know someone who does.

"Hacked?"

Next step--Department of Defense (as long as someone accidentally stayed logged in at the Apple Store or library).

More like the other way 'round. Until the Norman conquest of 1066, "English" was more like Old Germanic. What we think of as Ye Olde English was Frenchified Really Olde English.

Because the aristocracy of later England was the conquering Normans (i.e., French), we see the old Germanic names for the animals (Kuh = cow, Schwein = pig) and the French name for the meat that comes from the animal (boeuf, porc).

There's no photo, so it could be singer/musician Seal.

PokémonGo, Indiana edition.

One reason he just said goodbye and didn't ask for your number is that many times in the recent past he's been excoriated for doing just that, but with a woman who didn't want him to do so.

Maybe the closk is upside down, and the time is really LL6.
