A person with a ticket matching all six Powerball numbers in Saturday’s $1.3 billion jackpot came forward Monday to claim the prize, Oregon officials said.
The lottery ticket was purchased at a Plaid Pantry convenience store in the northeast part of the city, Oregon Lottery said in a statement.
Oregon Lottery is working with the person in a process that involves security measures and vetting that will take time before a winner is announced.
“This is an unprecedented jackpot win for Oregon Lottery,” Oregon Lottery Director Mike Wells said in the statement. “We’re taking every precaution to verify the winner before awarding the prize money.”
Nothing in the definition says anything about relative. You are applying your interpretation to the definition. But everyone can have a different interpretation. So you can’t do that and still be “technically” correct.
Are you seriously claiming that having, on average, one egg salad sandwich a year is both a habit and a vice?
Pretty sure I never said anything specific about egg salad. But yeah, English sucks. Technically it is a habit.
No, I said something specific about egg salad, on average, once per year and you said it is a habit.
Me:
You:
So basically everything anyone could possibly do from swallowing a thumbtack to dying of listeria is a habit.
I keep trying to tell you that english is a shifty language. I believe you can exclude one time events if you dig into the definitions of the words used in the definition of habit. But that is probably the technical limit of things truely excluded.
I see… So if you eat a plum when you’re 6 years old and then never eat another plum again until you’re 90, it’s not a one-time event, and therefore is a habit and a vice.
Holy shit the colors of lines aligning with replies are so pretty. It’s 4 full rainbows.🌈
You guys truly have some serious vices of online pointless arguments. How humane of you.
I congratulate you on being just like the rest of us.
Yes on the habit technically. Thats a once every 45 year habit. But a vice? Well I don’t think eating a plum is bad for you unless you are allergic or something. So not a vice I think.
I don’t think you will find a single other person on this planet that would agree with you that doing something two times over the course of your entire life is a habit. Not one.
Now that’s just silly. Even the most absurd thing one could think of could find one person on the planet that would agree with it.
Now remember, you took this down the “technically” path. I personally would use habit closer in line with how you would. But Vice is similar. The definition says it is a habit, but it is common for people to use it in reference to things that aren’t a habit by your interpretation. So you can pick if you want to be technical, or interpretive. But you can’t mix and match. Either way, the original point of everyone has a vice is true if you use the technical branch and if you use the interpretive branch. It is only false if you use the interpretive for habit, and the technical for vice.
