"speaking out against mental health"

Go Pete!

We love ya, man.

Not that there's anything wrong with that

Wikipedia -- Gender of connectors and fasteners:

In electrical and mechanical trades and manufacturing, each half of a pair of mating connectors or fasteners is conventionally assigned the designation male or female...

The assignment is a direct analogy with genitalia and heterosexual sex... Extension of the analogy results in the verb to mate being used to describe the process of connecting two corresponding parts together.

Entrapment

Will Mice Chew on Tar Edging?

I asked a similar question and found a useful response from Chris Williams at Colonial Pest Control Inc.

Best part:

In his defense, the mouse could have just been passing through, enticed by your baited trap.

The pest control guy, speaking up in defense of mice. I love it!

Or is it a Khan job?

Khan:

Mathematically, a price index is a two-digit decimal number like 1.00 or 0.85 or 1.25. But—because some people have trouble working with decimals—the price index has traditionally been multiplied by 100 to get integer numbers like 100, 85, or 125 when it's published. This means that when we deflate nominal figures to get real figures—by dividing the nominal by the price index—we also need to remember to divide the published price index by 100 to make the math work.

I had a little trouble with the "two-digit decimal number" thing. Their numbers have two decimal digits, or two decimal places, yeah. But none of those numbers has two digits, and they are definitely not "two-digit" numbers. But all of that was forgiven when I got to the second sentence:

But—because some people have trouble working with decimals—the price index has traditionally been multiplied by 100 ...

I love the explanation.

Who works with price indexes? Economists, that's who. Is Khan saying economists have trouble working with decimals?

Whatever you do, don't be born in 2030!

EurekAlert:

The projected life expectancy for those aged over 65 in 2030 is higher than for those born in 2030 because the figure for those born in 2030 includes people who will die before the age of 65, which makes the life expectancy average lower.

Sometimes you just don't need a "for instance"

From MarketWatch: Computers are getting more expensive and here’s why, July 2017:

“Vendors raise the price for both new and existing models,” she said. “For instance, a model A used to be $500, but the same model A with same configuration is now $550.”

In the time it takes to put a glove on

Four o'clock in the morning, the dogs are ready to go out. Yeah, okay. I put my coat on. I want to put the flashlight in my pocket, so I take the glove out of my pocket. The glove is in my hand, so I put it on. Then I put on the other glove. Then we go out.

No flashlight.
