I think it may 100% depend on alcohol and/or THC intake, both of the person writing it and the person reading it. I believe those are the accepted rules as written in both the New York Writing Style Guide and the Chicago Writing Style Guide.

I believe it fits under the section titled As the mood strikes; grammar's mishaps's and bewilderment

That's one option. But Sandwiches' is valid too, as it ends in an s and is a proper noun, it's not exclusive to plurals. AP style guide for example requires it (and got a lot of flack when 's was proposed as acceptable).

Plus sandwiches itself is a singular noun which is a plural word, so it's s' not s's for most cases there.

Anyway, grammar is weird.

No, just forgot the name already and though it was Sandwiches as a last name when I typed it the second time around.

Yeah, super crazy, had to look it up. Al voices a character named "Cheese Sandwich" (ffs Weird Al is amazing), who in a finale is shown years in the future to be married to Pinkie Pie.

Apparently Cheese Sandwich's personality is just... Weird Al. Which is also pretty hilarious.

Clearly, you should be in real estate immediately. It's obviously super easy, and with your math that's super accurate and in no way an understanding far separate from reality, clearly you'll be a multi-millionaire within a few short months.

Good luck!

Do you think a house gets sold every day, or that everyone ends up buying? Or that they even get that $15k as take home?

The industry around home sales is absolutely gross, but the broker is taking a cut here. Not all real estate agents are brokers, in fact most are not. On average, most agents are making as little as $60k/yr and as high as $100k/year, region dependant. Average is going to be around $85k. Above that $100k mark is the top quartile, and above $130k-ish is going to be the top 10%.

It's not as lucrative as you think it is.

Ah, admittedly I avoid that problem entirely, I have an MTR, a ZR, etc running on devices here (hardware/software testing stuff), so I don't need to run meetings on my desktop often.

Edit: Just to note, I've done USB passthrough with VMs that were ZR builds and such, so that can be done. But I think if your sharing from there it can get messy (USB video capture and such as your sharing method, so on).

I have several for work that will likely never work in Linux.

So those have a nice little VM they sit on, which has been stripped bare of the nonsense. Remote desktop access enabled, and I can do what I need whenever.

Maybe it's just to me, but liberal/national coalition and labor seem like the two major parties, green is barely at the table still.

If you exclude the coalition, national has 4 times the representation of green, and liberal 3 times that.

Just my opinion here, but it's still two major parties, with the thirds coming up in ranks and getting some momentum going. It'll be a good day imo when the greens overtake the nationals (and maybe one day the liberals), but I personally don't see it as representative of the people yet. Improving, but still functionally two parties.

It's still not that old (~10 years or so iirc), it takes time for a third party to be major contentender. Earlier on you're more likely to see third party wins in more local than national level elections.

It's not an insta-win for third parties. But that's ok, because local elections matter, and that's where you'd typically see results first.

Mythbusters streamlined is like that. A bit rough on some cuts imo, but overall just cuts the fluff.
