Interstate 171 is a big one.

That doesn’t seem remotely possible. He’s taking steroids at a minimum.

No, that was season 8. The highest rated episode on IMDB for seasons 14-15 is Moe Baby Blues (Moe become’s Maggie’s babysitter). Still a few decent ones in my opinion: I, (Annoyed Grunt)-Bot (Homer pretends to be a Robot Wars bot), and Milhouse Doesn’t Live Here Anymore (Milhouse moves to Capital City).

Still some classic moments. “Brothers and sisters are natural enemies. Like Englishmen and Scots! Or Welshmen and Scots! Or Japanese and Scots! Or Scots and other Scots! Damn Scots! They ruined Scotland!”

Can’t say that with any degree of confidence. “Probably” as you said. We can’t say for sure what year, let alone what specific day.

The date of the crucifixion of Jesus was earlier than 36 AD, based on the dates of the prefecture of Pontius Pilate who was governor of Roman Judea from 26 AD until 36 AD.[221][222][223]

There were already traditional seasonal holidays. Christians conformed the Jesus holiday dates to fit the seasonal holidays, which over thousands of years they have eventually replaced. That’s why Christmas is only 2 days off from the winter solstice, and that’s why evergreen trees are part of it. Easter comes days after the start of Spring, which is where the rabbits and eggs are coming from.

What’s ‘Mountain’? I’ve seen TV shows advertised as Eastern, then their voice gets quiet and they mention Central. Sometimes they do the same for Pacific. Never heard of ‘Mountain.’ Sounds fake.

You might be right. Not sure they’re quite ‘classics’ but they were still making some decent ones:

Half Decent Proposal (Artie Ziff episode), The Bart Wants What It Wants (Bart dates Reiner Wolfcastle’s daughter Greta), I Am Furious Yellow (Bart’s ‘Angry Dad’ comics), and Papa’s Got a Brand New Badge (SpringShield).

Seasons 12-13 have some great episodes, but some bad ones too. I agree it’s Season 14 where it took the true nose dive and stopped having great episodes.

So glad I don’t live in Texas. Tesla’s are the least safe cars that exist.

DVI-I cord with a DVI-D computer? Absolutely not. It’s got these 4 extra pins that you’ll ruin if you try.

“I was frightened, because I had never ever seen Joe like that before or since. Never,” Jill Biden told CBS News Sunday Morning’s Rita Braver in an interview airing Sunday on CBS.

“I don’t know what happened,” she said. “As I watched it, I thought, ‘Oh, my God, he’s having a stroke.’ And it scared me to death.”

Biden’s final debate performance was pretty awful. Seemed lost a couple times. Nothing like the guy who had debated Paul Ryan years before. It was so bad that he had to drop out.

“Your car will be out working as a taxi while you sleep.”

In this example the bank started with $1 million total. Loaned out $10 million. If the guy paid back $10 mil, the bank would have 10x their starting money.

I may have beaten you to it by like 1 minute.

Nobody manages money supply vs inflation

It’s managed via interest rates, which to a degree are controlled by the world bank.

Fractional reserve banking. You’re assuming a 1:1 ratio of debt to assets. That’s not the case at all. A bank can have $1 mil on hand and lend out $10 mil plus, as long as they have a high enough percentage available for withdrawals.

Banks have an infinite money cheat code. In a way. If person gets a loan from a bank, $10 million, which requires the bank to have $1 million on hand. That person then uses the $10 million to pay people. If those people then go… put their money in the bank… The bank now has the same $11 million on hand they started with, a guy who owes them $10 million plus interest, and could now theoretically loan out another $9 million to another person. At that point they’d have $2 million on hand, 2 guys who owe them $19 million. Still within their 10% cash reserves. But wait… one more thing. I was assuming a 10% reserve as a rule. But in same cases they don’t even require banks to keep any specific percentage on hand. So the debt to assets ratio could become even more insane.

the total amount isn’t zero, it’s negative. Is this correct?

Negative at a 10:1 ratio, maybe even more.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional-reserve_banking

The Federal Reserve does not impose a reserve requirement, but pays interest on reserve balances, influencing the general interest rate level in the economy in that way.[19]

Just as taking out a new loan expands the money supply, the repayment of bank loans reduces the money supply.[20]

Voyager. Couldn’t say which episode.

I’m convinced. Can’t be sentient life if it can bend things.
