Okay show of hands, who is actually thinking about the Roman empire?
I have listened to a lot of history podcasts lately, and so I think about the Roman Empire all the time – but it's usually not in an admiring way :D.
Amazing episode! On the gas prices story, the governor of Georgia mandated a fuel tax savings for the next month.
“can you say that on this podcast???” had me rolling hahahahaha
Regardless what you think of the strike or what you think of Drew, I think Drew should've stuck with her decision. She basically got bullied out of doing what she was wanting so regardless of her intentions, people will remember this. If you're going to make a decision like this – you have to stick to your guns and not let social media bully you. Now they will attack her for this, most likely until social media dies. It sucks, but it is what it is.
When a company doesn't list their pay I assume it's not very good and keep scrolling.
It would be good to hear the gas price average before state and local taxes. These taxes impact the average greatly as some states have a higher per gallon rate. California and Oregon come to mind.
Since the Caesar salad was created in TJ (Tijuana, Mexico) I guess I think more of the Aztec Empire 🙃
Anal print sensor for term of the century lmao
Let's Ride!
The Ignobel prizes are so great! There's famously one physicist who won both an actual Nobel prize and an IgNobel prize!
CU alum here, I haven't heard much about CU football even when I went there in they 90's. I wasn't aware theat they were even good anymore. I think I only went to two games when I was in scool, they lost both times.
