You have to have so much more reserves in the US because of the broken health care system, and the car dependence. I live in Germany and my wife and I were thinking about how much more we'd need to save and we found out that we didn't need that much. Healthcare is basically free, we don't have a car, we had enough for a new set of appliances and months of rent. All that with about a half of that salary. But in the US you can easily go broke with that amount of money if you get sick or have car troubles. Also depending on the state poor job security.

LibreOffice is available for MacOs. So I don't see the problem.

Let's split the question up. First let's talk about carbon dating.

Carbon is an atom and we know an atom consists of protons, electrons and neutrons. For carbon that is six protons and usually the same amount of electrons. This is always the case, otherwise it's not carbon. The interesting thing is the number of neutrons because they can differ. If we have two atoms with a different number of neutrons we call the isotopes. The most common istope of carbon is C-12. This means it has 12 particles in its core. We know we have 6 protons, so we have 6 neutrons.

There is a rare form of carbon that is C-14, which has 8 neutrons. This form is not stable and breaks apart after a while and forms nitrogen. The time it takes for half of the carbon to break apart, or decay as we call it, is called half-time and for C-14 it's about 5000 years. That means every 5000 years the amount of C-14 halves. As long as an organism is alive it will have a pretty constant amount of C-14 in its body. As soon as it dies it can't consume more of it and then the clock ticks. We can measure how much of it is in the sample and with that we can calculate how old it is. This only rally works on a time range between 300 and 60.000 years. Shorter and not enough of the C-14 has decayed and longer and the so much has decayed that we can't measure it anymore.

For longer times we have other methods but I am unfortunately not too versed with too. Some of them also use the decay of elements but others that have longer half times. So they probably used one of these techniques to date your example.

You misunderstand me. I am agreeing with you. Voting would have been just as bad as Hitler.

Because we both know that both bombed the same number of people to death in Iran including women and children. It's crystal clear that both have destroyed the same number of boats that were allegedly drug boats. They literally have put the same number of immigrant children in cages. I counted them myself. Didn't you know that Biden also wanted to build hotels in Gaza. It's crazy that they are so much the same.

I just want to protect everyone from even considering there could be a worse choice and that they might vote and make things less bad. It's such a strong message to not vote. We all know that when we don't vote we get the secret third candidate who is actually the best person in the world and they will end all the suffering and make everything good again. We just have to convince everyone.

Yes exactly. Don't you see that I am agreeing with you. It would have been bad to even vote.

No you don't understand. I wanted to say that they are exactly the same. And that I would be bad to even vote and taint our souls with that.

Yes they are both exactly the same. They both started the same number of wars. They both imposed the same amount of tariffs. They both dismantled the institutions in the same way. They both enriched themselves completely equally. They both created the same anti immigrant/lgbtqia/abortion rules. They both fucked over the economy exactly the same.

The are completely the same. Don't you see it? Everything you felt got worse under Trump is just your imagination because they are completely the same. So don't vote at all because they are completely the same. Trust me. Just throw your vote away. Because they are completely the same. It doesn't matter if the Republicans get another term because they are completely the same. Just give in to your despair and do nothing. Let the others handle it because it doesn't matter because they are completely the same. Ignore all the date saying otherwise because I made meme that said they are completely the same. And that means they are completely the same.

And if they are not the same then the democrats are surely not perfect and that makes them worse than the Republicans. Don't you see it if you make things only a little better it's much worse than making everything worse because eat least that is consequent.

You are not very good at making a logical argument, are you? You cite an example of a vehicle needing to go over 100mph for an emergency, which firstly doesn't happen very often and secondly doesn't fucking flow with the traffic either.

Then you called me a Karen because in your mind you made up a scenario where this would happen in my vicinity and I'd be blocking that car whichni wouldn't do willingly but unwillingly probably do anyways even if I'd go with the flow because 100+ mph is not the normal fucking flow of traffic.

Your argument was so bad that I considered blocking you but I wanted to see if you might have an epiphany but I am losing hope. You seem to be having too much fun making up fantasy scenarios where someone dies because I drive the speed limit.

Lawful. They made it dangerous, not me. What I want is everyone to be lawful. I don't want to break the law for the faults of other people. I will not pay for other people's disregard for the rules. I will avoid crashes in what ever way is left for me.

It doesn't say that. You are right. What it says is that the dangers come from people overtaking and assuming that someone is faster. It has nothing to do with ego and only with adhering to the law. I don't want a speeding ticket because someone else what's to be faster.

Everyone who overtakes me when I am at the speed limit is an idiot in my eye. People could just follow the law. Then the average speed would be the legal speed limit.

So the article says the problem are people that won't follow the rules. People who overtake and go way too fast. I will not enable their behavior.

The fuck you talking about? I never said I'd actively block anyone from overtaking me and the traffic won't flow at 100mph. So what the fuck is your point? Start turning on your brain before calling me a Karen.

What? No! Driving faster is not safer. What kind of logic is that? If someone does something dangerous because I drive the speed limit they are unsafe not me.
