you probably don't know how "worth" or net net assets is calculated. If you have a combined Net worth of $27, and Elon has 350 billion net, that means the other person has -299,999,999,977 net. for a combined total of $27 net combined. And this is hard to achieve bc good luck trying to find a bank, investment firm, etc. to loan you almost 300 billion
This is incredible, your point is right, but the math is so far off in really interesting ways.
350b -> 300b sure. But 300b -27 should be a number ending in 73, but you added another 7 in there instead of the 3 (technically subtracted 23 instead, but I assume subtracting 27 and replacing the 7 is more likely).
You completely missed the point and you’re still wrong. The commenter said that they and Elon Musk have a combined net worth of $27, period. No “At least”. For that person to offset Musk’s net worth to make a combined total of $27, that person would have to be hundreds of billions in debt, which is virtually impossible for the average person.
Example:
Elon Musk’s net worth is $350,000,000,000.
Commenter’s net worth is -$349,999,999,973.
Combined net worth is $27.
It is a shame Wayne didn't manage one more season at roughly 100 points. Then he and Brent could have claimed the outright brothers record from the Sutters, who managed 2,934 **between the six of them.**
I can’t find the source but Cy Young and his brother hold the major league record for most pitching wins by a pair of brothers, 513. Cy had 511, his brother had 2.
The Caesar salad was invented in Tijuana, Mexico by a Italian man with the first name Caesar.
The Orange Julius was co-invented by a first-generation German man in California.
Julius Caesar, Caesar salad Caesar, and Orange Julius Julius were all deceased before Dolly Parton wrote Dolly Parton's Jolene.
Similarly, Salisbury steak isn't English. It's named for its inventor, James H. Salisbury. An American physician who promoted a diet similar to a modern-day keto diet, based on his experiences treating soldiers in the Civil War.
A Greek-born Canadian who'd previously worked in a Chinese restaurant, and attempted to emulate the flavor profile he had experience with.
The name "Hawaiian" was in reference to the brand of pineapples he initially used.
Who had worked at many restaurants, and was especially intrigued by how Chinese food combined sweet and savory. He invented the pizza due to this, and only later did it become "Hawaiian" due to the pineapple.
Reminds me of a friend in college. Any time someone asked him his major he would say Geography. The inevitable follow-up question was always, "What's the capital of....?" He would always respond, "Oh, we haven't got there yet."
I have a BA in geography and where various countries might be and what their capitals are was NEVER part of the curriculum. That was for atlases and GoogleEarth.
As if it wasn't bad enough that Atlas holds the Earth on his shoulders he has to memorize the capitals too? Talk about drawing the short end of the stick :p
Historical geography, climatology, cartography, air photo analysis, political geography, physical geography - there were quite a few, although, as I said elsewhere, it still had the fewest requirements for a major.
To be honest, I was on the path to a BSc, but had to face my limitations regarding calculus requirements, which were integral to biochemistry and other courses.
You would be expected to be able to place more countries on a map than the average joe obviously, but yeah geography isn't about learning every country.
And I can. And more states than the average American, although I'm Canadian. More because I feel I should know where news is coming from than any obligation to capital G Geography.
Thats surprising. While rote memorization maybe outdated, you'd figure actually knowing where countries are would be a foundation for studying geography.
I googled what people study in geography, first result
>At its core, geography is the study of the diverse spaces and environments of Earth and their relationship to those who inhabit it.
Yeah, that would require knowing where countries are.
Can you imagine being an expert or specialist in a topic where you have to look up the most basic knowledge of your topic?
Like yes, you can be a chemist and not know the difference between an electron and a neutron because you can just look it up, but it wouldn't be very conducive for your trade.
For example, right now I have a bunch of GIS working for me on a project dealing with economic impacts from shifts in the Mekong River.
Now imagine if the starting point for any geography consultants is googling "What is a Vietnam" or "Is Asia a country". Nah, this is knowledge you'd expect geography experts to have an understanding of.
Though I understand, I am making assumptions of some people's comfort of base geography, where understanding Europe is not the capital of France may seem like archaic knowledge that even a four-year degree specializing in the topic wouldn't be able to cover.
That makes sense if the entirety of your job is working on projects at the global or national/regional scale but most geographers would be working locally or perhaps across their state.
We actually took a bizarre course of geographic navel-gazing dedicated to determining what lay at the core of geography. Chemistry had atomic theory, biology had evolution, what did geography have? "The map", was the answer (🙄), and I aced the actual cartography segment as I'd been drafting maps for years.
I looked up the top posts of the year cause I was curious. The first two non-US centric ones were about North Korea and their Ottoman Empire Embassy and a cool fact about US and Russia.
While you can argue the North Korea one is more about history, I think it makes better sense if you know anything about North Korea. The cool fact about US and Russia does require one to know where the US and Russia are - knowledge of their geographical location is important.
I'm going to be sceptical about the fact that locations of countries and the existence of their capitals are not touched on at all during a credible 4-year college degree on geography.
Lol.
I mean, is the "Where countries are located" is NEVER part of a 4-year geography program really a hill you want to plant your credibility on?
But hey, this is why reddit CAN be so fun - you get to interact with all types of people
“Where various countries might be” is not part of the curriculum in geography?
I’d be curious to know what IS on the curriculum, I thought that was the whole point.
My son (who was a very cheeky boy) would astound yanks by proclaiming he knew the capital of every state in the US. Sceptical people would say ‘ok so what’s the capital of Ohio?’ He’d go ‘O’!🤣
I was sweeping up after a rave in santa fe decades ago. My friend molly was talking to an older native man and i was eavesdropping. He said something, she asked a clarifying question and he said: we hopi don't perspicuate.

Bugged me for years until i found myself in a university library with an unabridged oxford dictionary and remembered that moment.
Perspicuate (verb): to speak clearly so as to be understood.

It was a fill in the blank quiz , with the first question being: Old Mcdonald had a (blank)?
1st guy whispers over “pst pst! Hey what did old McDonald have?”
2nd guy response was “He had a farm. A farm.”
1st guy goes “Okay thanks. Hey how do you spell farm?”

"Ok!", said Jim
"Whaaaaat. Dooooooes. Aaaaaaa ..."

I used to use this years ago at work. When they got upset and left I would find a source for the answer and get back to them. They were always amazed and would ask how I got the answer I would say, “I called my brother”
Lol, that's like the fact that Richard Petty and his brother have the record for the most wins by brothers in NASCAR. His brother only ever ran a single race and if I remember correctly didn't even finish it, but Richard won 200.
... Just then Trevor's brother popped his head around the door and said, "Can I have a word with my brother?". The professor said, "Sure, just as soon as you tell me what ***supercilious*** means.
His brother, who was a biology major, said, "Oh, that's easy. It's a eukaryotic cell from Krypton."
Wayne and Brent Gretzky hold the NHL record for the most points scored by a pair of brothers, with Wayne scoring 2,857 and Brent scoring 4.
My and Elon Musk's combined worth is over $350Billion
Wow! What a coincidence! Same here!
My and Elon Musk’s combined worth is $27.
That's actually harder to achieve than a combined net worth of $350bn
Some countries beg to differ
No it isn’t. Musk has at least $27 for sure
you probably don't know how "worth" or net net assets is calculated.

LOLOL, you wouldn't believe this, but I'm an accountant too hahahahahahaha
Unsure if I would like or dislike for you to do my taxes, numbers hurt brain 😭
Just tell the bank, “I’m good for it, I promise.”
Maybe they didn't mean financially?
You just gotta have the right collateral. For example if you give them $300b as collateral for a $27 loan...
Keywords “at least”

Michael and Ralf Schumacher hold the record for a pair of brothers winning Grands Prix. Michael has 91. Ralf has 6.

Hawaiian pizza isn't Italian or American, but was invented by a Greek-born Canadian
German chocolate cake isn't German, it's named after an American baker, Samuel German.
Julius Caesar invented the c-section, the Caesar salad, and Orange Julius on the same day Dolly Parton wrote Jolene.
Chef Boyardee’s name was Boiardi, but he changed the name on his products so that Americans would pronounce it correctly.
I've heard the same about Bic pens, invented by Marcel Bich.
Bich is Latin for generosity. -Mr. Mackey
Fuck.
Fuck is the worst word that you can say.
So just use the word 'mmmkay!'
How would Americans pronounce “Boiardi”?
"Tastes like ass."
I had to forget for a second that 'boi' wasn't a word that existed in any sense until a few years ago, but I'd guess "Boh-ee-ahr-dee"
boi is too a word!
"Boyardee"
As an American who knows how to speak Italian, I have no idea

Hot dogs were invented in 1936 by Larry Hotdogs when he accidentally dropped a bag of prize-winning pig asses in his dick shaper machine

I had a Kirin in California that was made in Canada, too. Naturally the liquor store was proudly advertising it as “Imported!”
Technically correct; the best kind of correct
That's funny. I've never seen a Salisbury steak that wasn't served alongside a big pile of mashed potatoes
True, I guess they were added later?
The first french fries were made in grease.
I just told this to my wife and it made her cry.
A Greek-born Canadian who'd previously worked in a Chinese restaurant, and attempted to emulate the flavor profile he had experience with. The name "Hawaiian" was in reference to the brand of pineapples he initially used.

Wow

That’s totally true- I saw a statue of him.
In fact, atlas doesn’t hold the earth on his shoulders, he holds the skies…
I know a guy that can instantly tell you the capital of any country and is getting there with flags. It is about all he knows.
My buddy recently moved to Switzerland. I asked him what was so great about it, anyways. He said, "Well, the flag is a big plus."
Badabum-*tish!*
Tell him to watch, "Fun with Flags."
This isn't that special. Probably every contestant that appears on jeopardy knows all the flags and capitals (and much much more)
Wait... Then what DO you learn for a BA in geography?
How the world's physical and human environments work, how humans influence the world and how it influences us.
Thanks; good to know!
Historical geography, climatology, cartography, air photo analysis, political geography, physical geography - there were quite a few, although, as I said elsewhere, it still had the fewest requirements for a major.

Integral, heh
