Example: Someone who makes $30,000/yr (USD) in Ethiopia would be living the same as someone who makes $XYZ (USD) in the U.S.

Do you use average income, GDP per capita, buying power?

This is the problem I'm trying to solve:
Being paid a salary of X amount (in currency of country A) living in country B, that would be the same as being paid Y amount in country A.

with "the same" I guess meaning having the same relative standard of living between you and the rest of the citizens of that country.

(i.e. are you Bill Gates, an average middle-class, etc. You salary is 5x more in each country,maybe?)

Let me know if this doesn't make any sense. It's hard to explain what I'm trying to get at.

Thanks,

I don't know, maybe it was my parents who instilled this in me as they continued to reject dating and any guy that gave me a 2nd look unless *they* picked him out, but now that i'm all alone, i feel that maybe I should be nicer to someone that checks me out by smiling or something? I just feel that i'm sorta very specific and no guy would work out unless it was *the* guy (i come from an arab family that doesnt really emphasize dating but just first time marriages at a kinda young age) and then i kinda dismiss him....

but i do want to get to know someone. i mean for me, all growing up done in america, it's hard to find someone that isn't so 'traditional' but still knows my background. then again maybe because i'm silently rejecting ppl before i even say hello, this is hurting any chances i would have had? i mean i dont want to be a ho but at the same time being lonely sucks.

As far as I know, regarding motherboard,
almost all SMT IC components all are black except for MLCC.
Why?
Why not use other else color?

When I buy frozen veal parmesan cutlets from the supermarket, sometimes I bake them in the oven, spread some spaghetti sauce and a slice of cheese on top, and eat it in a hamburger bun (sometimes with some lettuce underneath the cutlet).

I'm guessing most people normally eat them veal parmesan as a main course with pasta? So does that sound weird?

My grades were bad and I didn't want to persue a career in the field that I graduated in. I just finished it b.c I couldn't see anypoint in dropping out once I got halfway through and realised I hated it.

Two years down the track I am still working in retail, although I am on the path to management, and my store pays some pretty decent dollars.

Would you suggest that another degree in a different field (that I am actually interested in) would be a waste of time, because the bad grades from my other degree will be a fatal black mark for life. Or because with two degrees one appear to not have been motivated from the get go (which is true). That and the fact that I will be 28 when/if I get a second degree.

I am comfortable, but by no means happy in my line of work. For the field I want to work in and the job I see myself doing, you are required to have the appropriate college degree.

I or skip a second college and try for one for the police force or other career services.

Several people have posted on the famous hand in warm water trick whereby submerging a sleeping person's hand in warm water while asleep induces urination. Many people have claimed they have heard of this prank, but I want to know how many people have truly witnessed this in person.

I am also curious to know if anyone has any plausible hypothesis as to how it works. I understand the micturition reflex (urintation reflex) is a spinal reflex with regulation from higher brain centers, but how exactly the warm water would trigger the urination is of interest to me. Do you think the warm water evokes the spinal reflex or causes enough activation such that it overcomes the tonic inhibition from higher brain centers. I'm very curious to see what ideas people propose.

It's not flatscreen and its pretty much brand new. I was going to give it to goodwill... but last time I did that, I donated a really good jacket and saw it up in a goodwill store for $120?? I was going to mail the tv over to myself, but it cost alot plus my fiance says he'd rather we only use flatscreen tv. I'd rather donate it but I'm not sure where to go... It would cost alot to mail it over to anyone... so I'm not sure what to do... suggestions anyone?
