He/him. For anything you could possibly think, there exists some They that want you to think it.
ROSENCRANTZ: I mean, just because it's a fire in the same place doesn't mean it's the same fire.
GUILDENSTERN: I think it's different for mountains, I don't think their fires go out.
R: What, someone just keeps chucking wood into them?
G: No, it's geological.
R: Doesn't sound very logical to me.

As the output is a percentage, there are two questions. The numerator is “have made it without becoming divorced or widowed”. The denominator is “*could* have made it without becoming divorced or widowed”. I think the denominator needs to include those who divorced and remarried, and it doesn’t.

Wouldn’t that exclude people who got married 50 years ago, got divorced, and then remarried? I’d think you’d want those in the denominator.

X-Files (NXT Games) - Send your FBI agents to mystery locations and overcome threats in order to ask questions of your opponent and deduce which X-File they’re hiding in this game of competitive Clue. Or just keep playing the rare card that lets you skip all that and go straight to the questions.

On the Edge (Trident) - Based on the RPG Over the Edge, assemble a team of hitters, blockers, and power players from every type of conspiracy you can think of, and amass enough influence to control the city of Al-Amarja. Another game where card position matters. Lasted long enough for 3 expansions.

Battletech (Wizards of the Coast) Use factories to build mechs to destroy your opponent’s deck. Faster mechs could bypass blockers unless they were specifically defending your target. Played it a few times, got severely beaten each time.

Good question, it interested me when Krennic said the need was for kalkite specifically, and not the presumed kalkium that it contains. Implying there is something about the structure of kalkite that would be destroyed by any refining process, or similarly by being in an exploding Death Star.

I dug up the dividend payout and share counts for the top 9 health insurance companies by market share (60% of the total market), and their total dividend payouts in 2024 come to about 11 billion. Assuming proportional amounts for the remainder, I think the correct amount is closer to $60/person.

I find this difficult to believe as well. According to the Fed, net dividend payouts to all US companies in 2024 was just under 2 trillion, which roughly matches that 7,000 per person figure you had above.

Looks like they did that in both states.

PA was where Musk's PAC did their big rallies, voting registration "sweepstakes", etc. Questionably legal, but all out in the open. That goofy picture of Musk trying to jump in the air was at a Trump rally in PA. He was all over the state.
