    “Alexa, all lights off.”

    Now, talk to me about going up the stairs from the basement alone…

    Everyone knows that’s how the evil clown, ghost, or whatever basement demon living in your house gets you…

    Grabs your ankles ands pulls you right back down…

    Sites like that saved me thousands getting my psych degree. God bless professors like this. Also the ones who were like, “the new edition of the book you need for this semester is $500, but you can get the previous edition for $5 at this site. Here’s copies of the pages that were changed.” or “I photocopied every page you need for this semester from the book for all of you.”





  • It’s in the other sink. However, a small, elderly Italian woman named Nana approaches you and slaps your hand as you reach for it. She says, “It’s not ready yet! 4 more hours!”

    She offers you some olive oil and garlic aioli instead. She proceeds to feed you for 4 hours until the sauce is ready. Surprisingly, you’re still hungry. The sink sauce is delicious.

    I tell my clients it comes from prison as a sign you were looking for sex.

    Close and possibly true for some, but apparently it was more just that they weren’t allowed to have belts to hold up their pants. When people got released, they continued to wear them loose because they were comfortable. The trend then spread to hip hop and other cultures in the 90s.

    I totally remember being taught this. It’s just way easier to break down percentages in terms of the nearest 1% or 10% times the number in the percent times the number you’re taking the percentage of. You don’t have to do the math for the 1 or 10 percentage as long as you remember that a 10% means move the decimal left once and 1% means move the decimal left twice. The rest is just basic multiplication.

    40% of 59 = 10% of 59 times 4.

    So…

    4x59=236

    or

    (4x50=200) + (4x9=36)= 236

    10% means move the decimal left once,

    Therefore 40% of 59 is 23.6

    With that you can easily do more complex percentages mentally like…

    62% of 35 = 10% of 35 times 6 plus 1% of 35 times 2.

    35x6=180+30=210 at 10% so 21

    plus

    35x2=60+10=70 at 1% so 0.7

    Therefore 62% of 35 = 21.7


  • For mine, I had it set up to do diagonal swipes, down-right for zoom in, up-left to zoom out, down-left to reset. Just hold right click and complete the gesture. It worked individually for any image and also for whole pages. The addon was discontinued after firefox moved to the new format.
