Hell, with these numbers, you could get 16 dentists, have them compete head to head in a 4-level tournament, and still afford an espresso machine for the winner.

Well, it's the aggregated opinion of people who use the site. Kalshi doesn't set the price; people making the bets set the price based on the odds others are willing to accept.

There's a sampling bias for sure, but since the odds given for this bet are based on how much people are willing to pay for that bet, this gives a very good approximation for how people actually feel about something.

It actually ends up being more reliable than most opinion polls in that way.

For jalapeños and other peppers, the pithy center is where most of the pungency comes from. It's also more bitter than the rear of the pepper. If you chop into quarters lengthwise, it's easy to cut the seeds and pith away from the flesh. You're the left with a milder, sweeter result.

... in case you're in an experimental mood.

shit like onions and actually use some real fucking spices from India and Mexico

... but... India eats a lot of onions... because as great as the spices are, onions are also great. You can have both. You should have both.

In NYC the most surveilled areas actually have lower murder resolution rates.

There's really no way that could be a causal relationship. It'd be worth diving into the data to figure out which variables are related to each of these.

They included the Spotify logo. It's just rather than labelling the picture as "Fortunate Sons".
