I tend to use Google to calculate, if posed correctly it will even infer formulas and give you the result. But when I needed math done for me I was also waist deep in Excel all day long and could figure anything I needed.

Agreed, and if they were lucrative jobs the service managers would gladly announce and broadcast those numbers. But they cover and hide the real numbers because it's not really worth it.

Makes sense to have some shops, a quick bite on the way through vs having to go look for a shop when you get topside. Lowering costs, improving the facilities, and providing those quick resources while on the move would help. People might lose some of their excuses and start using the public transport systems more. Which feeds the businesses, which pay for the upgrades. Becomes a self-feeding circle. I like.

Maybe it's because I don't have a use for it yet, or at least don't know if I have a use for it. But, the whole Ethereum universe seems vague and seems like they could explain it more than they do. "Install Ethereum wallet, write a contract, ..., Profit!" ?? Is there a better source that might explain what it is, how it works (a glancing explanation not a full network inner workings)??
Re:What it’s like to ship yourself overnight on Cabin’s sleep pod bus

Trying to think if this would work for me. I don't live there and haven't commuted that type of distance regular enough to warrant this type of expense. But, on trips, I tend to stay alert enough to know what's going on regardless of how hard to try to sleep. I tend to try to drive on trips because I don't trust other people driving. They mention wanting autonomous buses to run that route, but I just got my class B CDL and could see myself making this run every weekend as a job which would be cool.

A more capable replacement in the store for free would make up for this. I usually install gimp, but rarely use it for more than quick crops and some brightness adjustments. So, lighter than gimp, more capable than paint...
