You're... still posting on social media though?

You're talking about the pyramids in Giza right?

Don't forget the original $33B was for the entire line, not just Merced to Bakersfield.

I mean, Vietnam?

Wouldn’t it just go back into groundwater?

Cloud and AI infra already pull in $300B+ a year. Data center vacancy under 1% and they’re power utility constrained. The fiber guys built ahead of demand, these guys are printing money and can’t build new printers fast enough.

The plow was a 10x productivity booster. Guess what happened next?

Can you provide more details on the health benefits of ethanol?

I’m European and live in a city. There are still plenty of drunk driving fatalities here.

After socialization comes drunk driving which alone kills a quarter million people annually.

“Perfectly fine” is a bit of a stretch. No amount of alcohol is good for health. WHO now say even small amounts increase risk of cancer and liver disease.

How was the needleless blood draw supposed to work?

You do know S&P500 increased 70% under Trump’s first presidency right?

Eating in restaurants is terrible for your health. Here's a study that finds a 49% increase in all-cause mortality risk for those who frequently eat meals prepared away from home. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33775622/

Self control and disposable income are mutually exclusive?

Instead of a dog-sized robot, why not use a... dog?

Which part? I'm moving to Nice soon and wondering how it will be. Many of my friends still don't have AC.

That’s a great point. I wonder if it’s motivated by value or fear of an eternity of torture in the afterlife, though.

There are plenty of things that deliver the above without the dogmatic slaughter of hundreds of millions of humans throughout history and at this very moment.

Religion.

When you strike at the king, you must kill him.

7% of orbital altitude is not near-orbital.

Source?

Not with that attitude they won't!

Who sold the most horses in 1908?

iMessage lockin is really just an America-centric problem. Rest of world uses Whatsapp, which I find actually works better than iMessage. This gives me hope that Americans will eventually switch over to Whatsapp too. For now, if you want a social life in America, you need iMessage, at least in my circles. I am part of exactly 0 group texts that have android users. Having a single android user just completely breaks group texts, so those users are harassed by their peers until they get an iPhone.
