Absolutely incredible that the long jump world record has only been broken once in 55 years (poor Carl Lewis - virtually unbeaten at long jump in a decade, did finally beat Beamon's record, one jump after Powell just beat it)

You missed out sitting at the back of the top deck of a crowded bus, about 200 yards from your stop.

In the year following 9/11, Americans were so scared of flying that more additional people died in road accidents than were killed on 9/11

One reason I picked specifically counties within the US as the analysis to post.

Imagine dropping a single pebble into a puddle. Now imagine a handful. Now record that clip and play it back. Now just translate that to sound waves - the recording encodes the ripples, the speaker merely reproduces it.

From the BMJ "A large US study published by The BMJ today finds that fewer people die from covid-19 in better vaccinated communities.
The findings, based on data across 2,558 counties in 48 US states, show that counties with high vaccine coverage had a more than 80% reduction in death rates compared with largely unvaccinated counties."

Unfortunately, absolutely no one died in the entire year prior to the vaccine. Otherwise, you'd sound like a right tit.

Reply to comment by mb34i in eli5 why workers who make tips, have to pay back some of their tips a the end of the night? by 420goattaog
No need for the downvote mate, your wording was terrible - it literally reads as 'supposedly fair' that back of house gets a share.
I absolutely agree that subsidising poverty wages with customer generosity is shameful, as is people needing social security top-ups to subsidise tax-dodging megacompanies' shit wages.

Why 'supposedly'? People go to a restaurant to eat food primarily, and the quality and promptness of that execution is down to the kitchen. Good service is also important, but not the exclusive reason people tip. I've worked in hospitality 30+ years, and seen situations where an inexperienced teenage waiter/waitress takes home more total income than the head chef, due to an asinine belief that front of house deserve all the tips.

Well, I'm Scottish - never once in 53 years heard someone say that outside of movie/TV/Snoop song/whatever. And... was a light-hearted comment in the first place. But thanks for the 'actually...' educational.

No. There are no wormholes we know of, therefore this is speculation based on speculation.
