Reply to comment by ignore_me_im_high in Cynthia Rothrock was the best Martial Arts female movie star and yet she almost never gets any credit by Lili_Danube

Chuck Norris wasn't that big a deal, man. His biggest releases were all with Cannon. If you know what Cannon was, you'd know why that's not great.

As for Jackie Chan, he didn't really play "tough" parts, he was generally a goof who got into trouble. Tough wasn't his persona. He was like the Tom Hanks of martial arts movies. Or Buster Keaton more accurately.

If you think being marketable isn't an important part of being a movie star... I really don't think you know jack-shit about the subject there. Sorry to say.

Reply to Advice required for an upcoming investment comp. by Healthy_Friend9257

>CAGR stands for "Compound Annual Growth Rate." It's a metric that tells you what your portfolio will be worth after a certain number of years, assuming it grows at a consistent rate. To calculate CAGR, you take the value of your portfolio at the end of the period and divide it by the value at the beginning of the period. Then, you raise that number to the power of 1/n - where n is the number of years in question. For example, if your portfolio grew from $10,000 to $12,000 over two years, its compound annual growth rate would be:

(12000/10000)^(1/2)-1 = 0.105 or 10.5%

Reply to comment by OG__Swoosh in Gun injuries in US surged during pandemic, CDC study shows by Picture-unrelated

Directly? No because if there was a simple ipso facto causation it would have the same impact across all socio economic groups in the a similar way. The pandemic was experienced very differently by different groups in this country—and economic status was one of the clearer correlations in different effects.

Reply to comment by Omniwing in ELI5: why does the US need the dollar to be the only primary form of currency for oil? by aresyves

>The Nigeria can not buy oil from Saudi Arabia for any currency other than U.S. dollars. So if Nigeria doesn't have dollars, the easiest way to get them is to sell goods to the US for dollars, and then use those dollars to buy oil.

Well, that's not exactly the same thing. We can try to make sure a country we don't like doesn't have dollars to spend by not trading with them, but if they have dollars they can trade them for goods with anyone who will accept them. We can't say, "hey, you can't use your dollars to buy what you want bc that's our currency." And bc USD is the reference currency and is held by governments and private entities worldwide, what's to stop Nigeria from trading with someone else to get THEIR dollars and then using them to buy oil? The most circulated bill worldwide is the $100 USD. It's the currency of everything from commerce to crime all over the world.

>According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, nearly 80 percent of $100 bills—and more than 60 percent of all US bills—are overseas, up from roughly 30 percent in 1980.

There's no stopping the world from using their dollars amongst themselves for whatever they want.

Reply to Pittsburgh Imagination Library by juliepde

Is this just the city of Pittsburgh that is cutting it? We are in Munhall and I just got my son’s first book last month and haven’t heard anything about getting the last book.
