I’m not trying to disprove you or anything, I know it’s not your paradox. Apologies that it came off that way.

But like a tiny flake of space dust is enough to eclipse a sun for us a near infinite distance away. Matter is not going to let light through it. Even if some space dust thermalizes and radiates. The chances something like an asteroid, planet, moon, etc. Is high. Space seems mostly void, but an infinite amount of mostly void is still a lot of stuff.

I’ll check then out!

Can’t we see stars that do not show up in the night sky? Like that spot looks dark to the naked eye, with a hobby telescope it looks dark, but with a space probe telescope you can see a distant star is there?

You discounted space dust. But there has to be a near infinite amount of asteroids out there. If I wanted to see 1m lightyears into a specific spot, like the odds of not hitting an astroid would be pretty hard.

Like if you had a Lite Brite globe with each Lite Brite peg representing a sun. In the middle of the globe it would be completely lit up. However, if you started throwing around astroids around inside the globe, you’d start blocking pegs. Suns, pegs, are still behind the astroid. It’s just blocking the light. A tiny astroid could cast a huge shadow. Even tiny space dust.

I’ll go check out your comment!

I just find it funny that some Nirvana fans would listen to Plateau by the Meat Puppets and think it was Kurt Cobain singing. Like “He recorded a studio version??”

I wouldn’t even know how you could change Africa to something else and be liked. It’s a tall order for sure. I enjoy Bob Dylan a ton but understand not everyone likes his voice or even harmonica. “All Along The Watch Tower” could easily be changed and enjoyed because it’s the music and lyrics that are loved mostly. Africa is an entire package. I enjoy Dave Matthews Band performing “All Along The Watch Tower”. He puts it in his own style some, but that style isn’t as different as Jimi.

Lake of Fire is the only one I’d say is maybe better. Especially if we are talking about the MP too high to die version over MPII version.

They are all good songs, though, so I can definitely see your point.

Have you heard the original meat puppet versions? Nirvana basically covered them exactly.

Not saying that’s bad. But when you look at songs like “All along the washer tower” by Jimi, or “Whiskey in the Jar” by Metallica. Those covers are completely changed to fit their style. In my mind, that’s what makes a cover great.

A lot of Nirvana’s style is the Meat Puppets

Good covers, but they lack original twists. Meat Puppets even played the music in the unplugged performance. So really it’s wasn’t Nirvana covering them as much as Kurt Cobain singing.

It’s what I have against Weezer’s cover of Toto’s Africa. Good cover, but it doesn’t scream Weezer at all.

~50% of men probably wear a size 9-11 shoe

That’s a “Large” sock

Man with a size 8 shoe could probably still wear a “Large” sock and be fine.

~75% of women wear a size 7-9

Women with 6 or 6.5 should still be able to wear a 7-9 sized sock.

Families have genetically similar feet

I know from my experience, my father, my brother, and I all wear the same size. We all had different preferences and our own socks, but I could have easily worn their socks.

Credit cards = Free Money

1-5% cash back at most stores

So you can either pay in cash (or debit card) and get nothing. Or you can use a credit card and get 1-5% cash back

I need to spend $300 on groceries this month. If i had a credit card that did 5% on grocery purchases (one reason for multiple cards), then I’d have an extra 15 dollars this month. 180 dollars a year just because I used a credit card for a purchase I had to make.

I could have used my debit card, and the funds could be pulled directly from my checking account. Or the funds will be pulled directly from my checking account at the end of the month when I need to pay off my balance.

If I had an emergency $300 dollar expense in the middle of the month, I would have access to $300. If i purchased the groceries with the $300 in my checking account, I’d have no funds to hold over for 2 weeks. Longer if needed, a credit card can hold a balance for a price.

There really isn’t a reason why you shouldn’t use a credit card in America, other than poor spending habits

Credit cards can even give you perks like free cell phone accident protection when paying your wireless bill

Have multiple cards with multiple limits = higher available debt

The higher your available debt, the less percent you use out of it

Debt utilization is a big part of a credit score. And just getting that down having multiple high limit cards is a strategy.

Like if I spend 5k a month. One card with a 10k limit I am using 50% of my available credit. If i had 3 cards with 15k limits, I’d be using ~10%. Using 10%>50%

Opening up cards hurts your credit score in the short term but helps in the long run. You shouldn’t close a card unless you have to because having it is going to help your score for reasons mentioned above.
