OptimalConcept143:
You can calculate the percentage of something by multiplying it by a number between 0 and 1. Want 80% of something? Multiply by 0.8. Want 180% of something? Multiply by 1.8.
The fact there's a percentage button on many calculators shows that this very basic idea is not well known as it should be....

This may not be common sense, but I feel like people need to hear it anyway. I have three very different jobs, and I'll tell you a few things that I wish more people knew from each of them:
1) Do not remove an impaled object! Unless it is in your cheek, obstructing your airway, DO NOT pull it out. It may be the only thing keeping you from bleeding out. If you MUST remove it without medical personnel, pull it in the continuing direction that it was travelling. Never remove anything from the chest, abdomen, skull, or throat without medical training and assistance.
2) If you are frustrated with a baby, put it in the other room and WALK AWAY. Letting them cry themselves to sleep is a lot less traumatic for an infant than shaken baby syndrome. Walk away.
3) If you are nice to a cashier, they will be nicer to you. I cannot explain how far that a friendly, "Hi. How are you? .... Thank you. Have a good day." Will go! Be nice to your service workers! We can't make the world go 'round but we will sure as hell try harder for people who are nice to us.
4) If you accidentally break something in a chain-level grocery store, tell an employee immediately. You will most likely not get in trouble, you probably won't have to pay for it (if it is larger than a family-owned business), and it saves employees from having to stumble upon spoiled food and mess tracks hours later, or worse, another customer coming across it and screaming at workers to take care of it. Just tell us, please.
5) Do not cram the night before an exam. An all nighter before finals will not make up for a semester's worth of studying. You are better off going in well rested and unread, than sleep deprived and juggling information.
6) Just show up! Whether it is school, work, a job interview, a social gathering, an appointment, or whatever it is, if you are expected to be there, show up. Even if you are late, showing up is better than nothing! If you know you will be late, call ahead if possible; call to excuse your absence if you cannot make it before the event is over. This comes from two of my jobs: employers would rather have someone who is late than someone who is absent; and students will do better in classes if they are late than if they don't go.
7) Speeding will not get you to your destination any faster. Reckless speeding will get you into a hospital bed or a casket before it will get you to your destination. Fifteen miles an hour over the limit will get you fifteen miles further in one hour, but will add an approximate 16,500 N of force to any crash you get into (it only takes 4,000 N per in² to break your femur).

Coworkers and parents who have never used a Ctrl + S, P, Z etc. I tell someone a keyboard shortcut and their mind is blow! Or Alt+Tab to quickly switch between open programs! I’m a genius!!

Don’t put water on a grease fire. This is when your pan/pot catches fire while cooking.
Cover it with the pot or pan lid and turn off the heat
Edit: people in the replies have also added that baking soda and salt can work to smother the fire. Additionally a grease fire safe extinguisher is a good thing to have in your kitchen.

If your car gets stuck in snow, take out the floor mats and stick them under your tires as best you can, in the direction you are wanting to go (so the tires can drive on them). This helps give you some traction. You can reuse this technique as far as needed, just parking, getting out, and moving the floor mats back to right in front/behind your tires.
It irks me when I watch TV shows where the characters get stuck and can't get out of the snow, when they clearly have floor mats in their car. It has come to my attention over the past couple years that a lot of people don't know this, so now I try and bring it up every time it remotely comes up in a convo.
Also, keep emergency supplies in your vehicle. Jumper cables, a flashlight and batteries (keep them stored separately because corrosion), food/water, gloves, winter boots if applicable where you are, etc. Also, look up the underwater car episode of Mythbusters, just good to know
Color me delighted!!!! I followed Warren Buffett's advice. I desire to repeat this task in 2023.

Defendo a alfabetização e a numeracia. Estou muita mais preocupada com a alfabetização, mas todos deveriam saber aritmética básica.
English translation: I advocate for literacy and numeracy. I am far more concerned with literacy but everyone should know basic arithmetic.
Estou ofendida com a queima de livros.
English translation: I am offended by book burning.
I appreciate that the Berenstains have acquired a clear stance on Christianity. It's not far-fetched that the Berenstains endorse Christianity because the stories have always been wholesome. I pray that the grandchildren and further descendants of Stan and Jan Berenstain continue the family legacy.
original comments from February 2004: Vividly written, Black Girl in Paris freshly tells the literary growth of Eden. She is enriched by her experiences as a struggling writer in the chic French capital. She encounters various types of relationships, interracial, sapphic, and a May-December. Thought-provoking and sensual.
current recollection: I first became aware of this novel from reading Essence. There is a classy eroticism to this novel. Subtlety and clarity meld in this novel. J'adore.
rating 5 out of 5 stars
I read this novel in January 2004. I decline to post my initial review because it was actually a book summary. That's unjust to Miss Lambright. No foolishness or fakery in this story. Four friends who lived in the trenches and hugged each other through the war. It speaks volumes about what the publishing industry holds valuable because I have not seen another work by Miss Lambright. Oops!!! I stand corrected. I almost confirmed my ignorance!!! Thank goodness, I just went on the MSN search engine and learned that Miss Lambright has published another novel. Why just two? I pray Miss Lambright didn't get discouraged. No, I don't believe that.
Initially, I was repelled from this book because the subtitle includes "good witches". I resisted and then I decided to be brave. A good witch will not cause harm. So delighted that I read this jewel!!! I read it in a matter of hours. I want women to ascend into places of power so that we cease from suffering. Nor do I want men to suffer as we have.
A world with love, joy, and peace that we share with each other!!!

A sociedade global não me dá a opção de detestar o namoro interracial. Vejo infinitas combinações para o romance. Eu sou uma mulher negra com uma tez chocolate. Atualmente, perdi mais de 50 quilos. Anseio por me ver esbelta. Estou convencido de que a vida se abrirá em abundância quando eu perder o excesso de peso. Subi as escadas hoje e a tensão foi muito menor. Estou aliviado. Sem truques extravagantes. Eu como quando estou com fome e bebo muita água. Eu mantenho frutas e legumes na minha geladeira. Eu gosto de Mango Madness da Snapple. Vou saber se amo mangas quando for ao Brasil. Li e vi fotos de seus frutos. Fruta= comida requintada!!! Além disso, comer frutas com água fria me refresca.
The global society doesn't provide me with the option to detest interracial dating. I see infinite combinations for romance. I am a black woman with a chocolate complexion. Currently, I have lost more than 50 pounds. I yearn to see myself svelte. I am convinced that life will open abundantly when I shed the excess weight. I walked up the stairs today and the strain was far lesser. I am relieved. No fancy tricks. I eat when I am hungry and I drink plenty of water. I keep fruit and vegetables in my refrigerator. I enjoy Mango Madness from Snapple. I'll know if I love mangoes when I go to Brazil. I have read and I have seen photographs of their fruit. Fruit= exquisite food!!! Plus, eating fruit with cold water refreshes me.
Se você ama duas pessoas ao mesmo tempo, escolha a segunda. Porque se você realmente amasse o primeiro, não teria se apaixonado pelo segundo.~ Johnny Depp
Cada pessoa deve falar a sua verdade. Mas mantenho-me firme nesta questão. Eu ficaria desconfortável com alguém olhando para mim com olhos de luxúria, amor ou desejo, quando todos sabem que o observador tem um parceiro. Não acredito que precise me sentir atraída por alguém simplesmente porque a pessoa gosta de mim. As pessoas fingem atração muitas vezes.
If you love two people at the same time, choose the second. Because if you really loved the first one, you wouldn't have fallen in love with the second. ~ Johnny Depp
Each person must speak their truth. But I stand firm on this issue. I would be uncomfortable with someone looking at me with eyes of lust, love or desire, when everyone knows the observer has a partner. I don't believe I need to be attracted to someone just because they like me. People fake attraction a lot.

Eles parecem chiques e soam sexy !!!
Chaka toned herself WAYYYYY down. She admitted her addictions but she deleted meticulous detail about events. There wasn't much discussion about sex but she did discuss love. She admitted the songs she loves are not always the hits. She doesn't mind using the word 'never'. Hmm, that seems outlandish but this is Chaka Khan so I should not be surprised.
The first time I read this book, I left a scathing review on Amazon. The second time I read this book, I feel ashamed for my haughtiness. The saying, 'deal with the cards you're dealt'. I ask this, what happens if you can't afford a deck of cards?
Resplendent portraits in sepia form the visual collective of this book. Each sage provides a quote on any issue of merit. Some women elected to share the photograph with another woman, a relative or a friend. All female subjects but some had not crossed the threshold into 60. I anticipated a lengthy profile of each woman. Perhaps Joyce Tenneson prefers spare prose. I applaud this work.
