Seems I can't post any pictures/screenshots here. I want to graph: y=5000(1+0.043)^x
So, a basic compound interest calculation. I put that into the " f: " field of geogebra and I'm not getting anything that makes sense. If I put it into google, the AI puts out the correct graph. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Edit: I put screenshots in the comments.
I'm noticing on some boys, they have two sets of numbers for their length and poundage. E.g.
66 / 22#
68 / 20#
Am i assuming for that particular bow, the legs can be installed in the two different set ups? Are all takedowns like this?
These are Bear scouts. The green one has an arrow "rest" that the orange one doesn't have. Is that an optional item or is the orange one incomplete and cannot be used to shoot?
(I'm aware the green one has a sight that the orange one does not. I'm not asking about that).
"A recent survey from Goldman Sachs found that 41% of households earning $300,000 to $500,000 say they're living paycheck to paycheck — a higher share than among many Americans who make much less (1).
Compare that to 36% of households earning $50,000 to $100,000 who reported the same financial strain. And surprisingly, the group doing the best financially wasn't the richest, it was households earning $200,000 to $300,000, where only 16% said they were living paycheck to paycheck."

Total curiosity question here.
So I'm chatting up with an old high school friend who's an MD. He tells me that unlike a generation ago, med schools are generally admitting older (typically Master's) students, and that it isn't common like it used to be for 3rd and 4th year undergraduates to get admitted. He says the typical applicants only starts to get admitted on their 3rd (or more) try.
He thinks with grade inflation etc., admission is basically all down to luck in the interviews. He thinks its just better to opt for a Caribbean med school since in many ways it'll be faster, you could match to the US, then transfer to Canada after residency. It will cost more but the "certainty" of admissions (vs. playing the roulette game over and over in Canada of trying to get in) and the years saved is worth it in the long run. He's planning to have his kid go to SGU, which can be done in like 6 years or something.
This was all very new and fascinating to me, so I've come on here and although I do see people warning against going to the Caribbean, there definitely are voices telling people to go instead of playing the crapshoot of Canadian medical admissions.
What's peoples thoughts on this? Legit take? My sense from a generation ago was there was a definite stigma against Caribbean med school (it was only for those who couldn't get in Canadian schools) but nowadays, it seems like a pretty decent hack if you can make it work.
Suppose I have a convincing enough FB catfish profile, that someone is willing to travel to another country to meet her. Suppose I just do what I can to get them to come, but once they come, I ghost them. I am not receiving any money from them. I'm just messing around with them. Is this illegal?
Edit: Yeah I just googled it and it's a grey area. Yeah nix this. I wouldn't do this.
I have an envelope. I put a permanent stamp on it like a year ago. It had a letter inside and was sealed ("licked shut"). I ended up not mailing it. I removed the letter (about half the adhesive is still useable, the other has the torn paper). I put sticky envelope labels on the "from" and "to", and put new addresses on it. In other words, I know the stamp hasn't been used, but it could easily appear to be a used/sent letter that didn't have the stamp cancelled. Can I reuse this envelope or will it be mistaken as a reused stamp/envelope that has been through the mail already?
Canada is building a high speed railway from Toronto to Quebec City. Alto (the company in charge) recently announced its land acquisition plans. The project is expected to cost between 60 and 90 billion.
It's pretty clear that real estate is lower now than a few years ago. Certainly, more efforts could have been made by the feds to prop prices up. Is it possible Carney has allowed property values to fall, as it would lower their land-acquisition costs?
This isn't meant as a criticism or moral judgement. This could all be coincidental of course. But obviously if Alto had to buy in at 2022 prices, not only would be in position to pay more for the land they are buying, but they would also likely be facing far angrier landowners who don't want to sell given the FOMO around real estate at the time.
