  • Rapeseed (Brassica napus subsp. napus), also known as rape and oilseed rape and canola, is a bright-yellow flowering member of the family Brassicaceae (mustard or cabbage family), cultivated mainly for its oil-rich seed, which naturally contains appreciable amounts of mildly toxic erucic acid.[2] The term “canola” denotes a group of rapeseed cultivars that were bred to have very low levels of erucic acid and which are especially prized for use as human and animal food. Rapeseed is the third-largest source of vegetable oil and the second-largest source of protein meal in the world.[3][4]

    Brassica napus subsp. napus is the proper name. Everything else is slang and not worth arguing about.

    We call it Sunflower Oil

    We call it Rapeseed Oil

    Not Rape Seed Oil

    Blood is magical. It allows Voldemort to touch Harry.

    Harry was never the chosen one except for the fact that Voldemort chose him. It is explained that Longbottom could have fit the prophecy. And prophecies don’t always come true.

    They even have a term, mudblood.

    Harry has a piece of Voldemort living inside him. That’s why it is always mentioned. He does have an evil piece inside him.

    His parents being “high class or wealthy” didn’t matter. His mother’s sacrifice protected Harry, her love.

    Harry was an average wizard at best. He won because of friendship and everyone helping out.




  • Same can be said about traditional stock markets. The prices are entirely fictional there, too.

    Not true at all.

    Microsoft has 7.4B stocks outstanding.

    Microsoft has a valve as a company.

    Owning 1 stock gets you 1/7.4Bth of the physical company.

    If Microsoft goes bankrupt or dissolves you could get some value out of your share.

    There are 19.9M BTCs

    BTCs have no intrinsic value

    Owning 1 BTC gets you 1 BTC

    If BTC goes under you get nothing

    The stock market does have artificially inflated/deflated prices but they are roughly based on a company’s value. The stock is backed by the company.


  • Brake cleaner will eat away paint

    Walk by the car and spray it. It’s clear and will take 5-10 minutes before showing damage. Eventually, the message you draw will show up.

    A car with messed up paint would have a harder time getting approved to get fixed. If you mess up the engine, then it’s just getting fixed instantly with taxpayer money.




  • You have to understand what profit is.

    If I make a church, collect 1 million from my congregation. Then, I pay myself 1 million for the job of being the pastor.

    My business, the church, is non-profit. It had 1 million in revenue and 1 million in expenses. No profit.

    Now, I would be dumb to pay myself the million as a salary because then that million gets income taxed. I’d “buy” 1 million dollars worth of bibles for Uzbekistan and never fulfill the order or something. Launder it.

    The idea of why the church doesn’t get taxed is sound. People pay income tax, church collects taxed income, church spends taxed income to better community.

    They are essentially supposed to be a middle man. If i took my taxed income and donated it directly to buy bibles for Uzbekistan. Then it doesn’t make sense for my money to be taxed again. So if i give my money to the church and they give it to Uzbekistan, then why tax it?

    Problem is our tax code has loop holes

    A church was never supposed to buy a private jet. Yet it has become a business expense.
