When l was young l worked in home care. I met a man who came across the U.S. in a wagon train, a woman who talked about walking past brothels on her first day of work, growing up in a dairy, the regret of how black people were treated and paid. Wonderful, informative historical stories from years ago. I learned a lot back then. My Great Grandmothers sister even told me about how the first year women could vote she and her friends sat across from the voting place and "cat called" the hussies. Annie was about 4'10'' and sweeter than pie when l knew her. I really had trouble visualizing the situation. I loved learning real living history. I wish everyone had the opportunity.

The justice ministry said the survey found that more than 77,000 people listed as still alive in local government records would have to be aged at least 120, and 884 would be 150 or older. The figures have exposed antiquated methods of record-keeping and fuelled fears that some families are deliberately hiding the deaths of elderly relatives in order to claim their pensions. The nationwide survey was launched in August after police discovered the mummified corpse of Sogen Kato, who at 111 was listed as Tokyo's oldest man, in his family home 32 years after his death." - Justin McCurry in Tokyo Fri 10 Sep 2010 12.41 EDT

The only thing that is important to lottery game executives is the main loop hole to the winning number for the extra payment that is required to pay notice the amount of the. Jackpot & shared entries in the claim numbers. How come when you take payout versus 30 Year payments your entire Federal taxable income is 40%. Even though it's not filed yet and it's not tax time, but you don't need to acknowledge the law enforcement that are all apart of the government set up. NO gifts, make it a investment to no avail.

I'm an 85 year old retired aerospace engineer who believes that I'm losing my marbles. On the issue of microstrokes, or thickening of the blood, my guess is that taking Warfarin, or blood thinner, will help in preventing the microstrokes. But then again, I do have short term memory loss. I forget folks names. But I've forgotten people's names most of my life. Maybe I had some form of brain injury since I was a child. For as a 5 year old child, I fell from a second story balcony, was knocked unconscious, and regained consciousness in my bedroom with a doctor and my mother at my bedside. That's anecdotal information. Getting a brain scan sounds fascinating though.

I tell you honest to god, small rural farmers with nothing more than a bread basket level of high school education are some of the most brilliant minds this country has to offer. Well of course right? They skipped out on the rat wheel that is city and suburban living, choose to grow food for a living. Never go hungry ever again, nothing but the cleanest of air. No chaos and marry their high school love, completely avoiding the distracting drama of the relationship game and heart break and trauma of college dating. Winning the career game, survival game, relationship game and all of this the day they turned 18. Einsteins of the world got nothing on the farmers who feed Americans spoiled toddlers.

[@ev25zv]

@@n.c.467 It's basic probability. Using a coinflip analogy, if a coin is flipped once and you win $1000 if it's heads and lose only $1 if it's tails, then you're going to win, on average, 1 out of every 2 times you're given the chance to wager on the single flip and will win a lot more than you lose. If a coin is flipped 20 times and you only win if it comes up heads 20 times in a row, then you're going to win, on average, 1 out of every 1,048,576 times you're given the chance to wager on the 20 flips. Basically, they found a game that presents itself as the 20 coinflip example but was really the single coinflip and they exploited it. Once the state figured out they were giving good odds when the prize money trickled down, they discontinued the game and went back to offering crappy odds.

Good question! I believe most logistically minded people thought that too. An obvious question the interviewer should have asked.

And of course the conglomerations always win in this case it was 254 of one Elon Musk or one Jeff Bezos who employees live off of Government subsidies. The bottom line is we are all on your page legs and if you figure out how to get a few bucks out of the billionaires please tell me how without taking it from the people who spent the money in the first place

I saw the movie about the lottery couple and seeing the actual couple the movie was based on is a real treat ❤

I think the finding that being overweight is healthier is skewed by the fact that thin is associated with illness. The research only talks about the population which is overweight (and not obese) and there an indication of relatively good health. Whereas those who are not overweight might actually, in the data, be underweight due to poor health.

This is precisely how I envision my retirement: legally betting on a lottery game and sharing the winnings with my family and friends

[@ogcoradio]

I believe it's a #Blessing to have family members, actively engaging with the seniors. To help the brain exercise, remembering💙

That story was from 2019. I haven't heard of the fuel being used and I'm not sure about the plastic. However I have heard of and eaten products with xylitol. They are good, taste more like sugar than sugar substitutes, but it is a sugar alcohol, which has a high chance of causing gas and other digestive issues. Depending on the individual, it could still be a great alternative to sugar and unhealthy substitutes.

They did it legally! Kudos to them!
