Unpopular opinion, upvote and move on. Although I think this should have been posted in no stupid questions, since it’s more of a question than opinionated statement.

I hear what you’re saying, but if I may provide an extreme example… Try wearing a sauvastika in the western world these days and what do you think the response will be? Once a symbol of abundance and prosperity became the most prominent hateful symbol for generations. Decades after the annihilation of Nazi Germany and the swastika is still given their interpretation. I don’t have an answer as to how to prevent this from happening all over again like it is to a lesser degree with vocabulary such as this is describing.

Nobody, “It’s just a prank bro!”.

I’m glad you wrote this because it was exactly what I needed to wrap my head around it too.

Not comparing, we have our own issues, but the US just said not wearing a mask in public is akin to not paying taxes or speeding - it’s still illegal and not free speech because it affects others.

I’m just having trouble picturing how the spacer works without ripping the waffle apart when removed. Is it like a rod? Cause I’m picturing a ping pong paddle type spacer but that wouldn’t pull out, or are the waffle top and bottom not cooked together?

Yeah but tell me more about this stuffed waffle maker. I have never heard of these and as I type I realize I sound like the shill part two… still curious though, does it make like a waffle sandwich?

No, they don’t mean Jews religiously. They mean Jewish through heritage, similar to the way many countries do citizenship by birthright rather than birthplace (like the US does). In Hebrew law(?) the birthright is passed down by the mother as prior to genealogy that was a surefire way of proving your parent is who they say they are.

My information is secondhand and any corrections are welcome.

Edit: read below for more accurate information.

It’s weird though my 1920s price research shows $20.67 per Troy Ounce. Example: https://sdbullion.com/gold-price-by-year

I might be mistaken and that’s the US government’s set price for gold in the early 1900s, a lot of these other links show it closer to 10x that value.

Sub 2% interest rates for 2 years for loans and then jumped to ~8%

Market is wildly variable.

Yeah I was going to say Upper Middle Class but I’ve seen some dumpy houses for those prices and it’s really titled by if you bought when interest rates were low vs the last year or so.

$300/oz in 1920?

Which one? Gold was $20.67 per Troy ounce in 1920, that’s about $664.55 per kilo. 10 kilos about $6,645.55 I’m believing the first search result https://www.countryliving.com/life/g33398396/what-things-cost-100-years-ago/ says that matches up. Gold is about $64,900 per kilo today so $649,000 for 10 bars, that’s a low cost of living middle class place or HCOL very small house that needs renovation. I could see you meaning these days and houses in some areas are in the $6 million range, guess they should be location specific.

Sounds more like a vacation than living there. I think I’d like a beach house but probably wouldn’t after a month or two.

Passenger* airports.

Uninitiated person asking: are these used bottle caps you can recycle or unused ones? If the latter is the former possible?

I have an aviation joke but it won’t land.
