Was he fifty at birth?
His first album was 2003; ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’. If 50 cents was his valuation then, that would mean Curtis Jackson’s valuation was 22¢ at birth in 1975. Assuming he follows a somewhat arbitrary inflation rate of 3%. (This is also assuming he is not an asset of higher expected return like property, stocks, or bonds.) Putting him at a less attractive 99¢ today.
If he is the the currency himself, rather than being valuated at 50¢, then he would have devalued. This would put his value at around 27¢ today and $1.68 at birth.
And tomorrow will be the seventy-thirth distro.

Dull Men's Club@lemmy.world•I managed to get Linux running on my tablet today, via Termux and MultiVNC
4·5 months agoNice, I just got Debian on my Surface yesterday. The touch sensing isn’t quite adequate though. I might just try one of the rpi touch screens.

Off My Chest@lemmy.world•Why won’t you let your dog say hi to mine when we’re out walking?English
3·7 months agoMy dog is very friendly, too friendly. I let him say hi to other dogs and people until I realised he was pulling to get to every interaction possible. Since I started avoiding interactions while walking he is much better and I enjoy our walks a lot more. He socialises a lot, just not when we are walkingnon a leash.
Sorry for being anti-social.
I could eat a peach for hours.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Wait if these are my forearms, are the ones behind them hindarms?
2·8 months agoDefinitely threearms.
Rochambeau was a French general for the American revolution. There is no evidence the nick name for rock, paper, scissors has any relationship with the actual man. Janken(rock, paper, scissors) came to America in the 20th century by Japanese immigrants. Roshambo is slang from the West Coast of the US. First evidence of the term was 1936 in Oakland.
Maybe it was named after the general, maybe it’s a coincidence, we don’t know.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your kinda-unimpressive 'claim to fame'?
2·11 months agoThat’s what I had to explain to my mother; Ain’t no rule says a dog can’t shit in our yard.

10·11 months agoI lived next to air bud as a kid. My mom hated the dog because the owners would let it roam around and it would shit in our yard.
Where does it say imperialist is a no-go?
Does it say they don’t want an imperialist nation?

I’m sure I’m late to the game on that one. Found it on Lemmy. Super fun geography puzzle/trivia game.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•People who can understand multiple languages, or have moved to another country, or otherwise traveled abroad; Do you feel like you experience existence from a PoV that nobody else can understand?
12·1 year agoSpouse is Kenyan and I have learned a fair bit of Swahili. My spouse is fluent in English, Swahili, and their tribal language which I know basically none of.
I never could have imagined how much it would help me understand them better by understanding their language. It has profoundly changed me as a person.
Language is not purely functional, it is woven into who we are and how others perceive us to be. I started learning to simply participate more with them and their family, now I am experiencing my brain be rewritten.
As a person who only spoke English well into adulthood and then is rapidly learning a very different language and culture, I feel like I have a POV that nobody else in my life understands.
Thanks for asking :)
Is that a reference to Ajit Pai’s Reese’s mug or does Kash have some weird mug too?
She turned me into a newt!
