Buying a second house for your estranged wife is very normal. I’ve got tons of very real, normal human friends that buy their wives second houses because divorce would cost more than a second house.

The person is very human, yes.

I’ve just accepted that no matter how much I try to save, or what kind of job I get, the economy will explode every ten years and I’ll get shafted.

Who needs to retire anyway.

You think a billionaire that spends most of his “very busy” schedule tweeting nonsense cares to read the news?

There’s probably a dedicated intern that gives him daily briefings while Musk scrolls twitter for a new Nazi to retweet. The intern knows better than to upset the Muskrat, and keeps news about Tesla issues to a minimum.

Oh boy, here we go again.

Kids these days are born too late to invade the Middle East, but born just in time to invade Canada, apparently.

I just hope we don’t have to wait all the way until 2077 for the Great War. I want to see deathclaws and super mutants while my eyesight is still good.

Where in the world does it cost 1.27 million dollars a year to live?

Unfortunately, it’s only like 350 meters wide.

The big one that took out the dinosaurs was 10 to 15 kilometers.

A 350 meter asteroid would just make a lot of noise and make a little splash if it survived to hit the ocean, or a little hole in the ground if it managed to strike land.

We need to pray for bigger space rocks.

Land connected is 2, but Cuba is also right there

My phone only has one hole and it’s way too small for me to use that way.

Your mileage may vary though, I don’t judge.

They don’t want you to know this but the ducks at the park are free, you can just take them. I have like 20 ducks in my basement.

Some mad lad bolted one of these to the hand guard of an L85 and called it a weapon light.

This was, of course, really to add mass to the rifle for when it was used as a bludgeon, because it is so British that it spontaneously ejected its own magazines as a form of silent protest against violence.

Just because he didn’t create the coin doesn’t mean he isn’t responsible for several pump and dump scams that he’s run on the coin.

If I pick a random penny stock and tell a bunch of rubes to buy it and we’ll all be rich, only to sell my shares when they reach a high point, that’s still a pump and dump scam, even if I have no affiliation with the company.

Musk doesn’t own the coin, but he does own the scams he pulled with it.

That’s also why they got rid of my all time favorite candies: sour altoids.

Unrelated, but I had constant raw flesh on the top of my mouth for almost a whole year before those got pulled from the shelves.

By far my biggest gripe with the steams deck is hitting the trackpads with the palms of my hands. I usually disable them when playing a shooter like doom because otherwise the trackpads override my aim.

I think there needs to be a heavier tax on short term investment. This would disincentivize quarterly returns over multi year returns, and make investors prioritize longer term planning.

Right now you only pay taxes on stocks based on what you cash out every year, I think the length of an investment should ease its tax burden. Hold a stock for 1 year, you pay a high percentage when you sell. Hold it for years and that percentage drops every year until you hit a minimum. I think a 5 to 10 year period before it hits the tax minimum would be good for encouraging longer term investment.

It would also shift the focus away from companies being increasingly profitable over short terms periods. That’s simply not how any business works, and it’s ridiculous that it’s become the norm to expect that. It gives companies a chance to have bad quarters and years, without as much fear that their investment will dry up overnight.

You like a little baggy of dongles and adapters?

Yeah, turns out it was just one dude with a fog machine that just get blasting it to “keep property taxes down”

Dirty bomb will still render half a city uninhabitable for generations.

And, there is a decent chance the Russians have been recycling spent bomb cores for their current bombs. Just because a core loses its potency, doesn’t mean you can’t refine it again and mix it with other refined cores for a brand new bomb.

Is true that the tritium for hydrogen bombs would be basically impossible for a non nuclear nation to get, but conventional fission bombs are readily recycliable.

The soviets collapsed and it only gave the North Koreans access to ICBM capable rocket engines a few decades early. I’m sure nothing bad will happen again this time.

Ah, who am I kidding, some general will probably sell a nuke to the saudis and we’ll all die the next time there’s an oil fiasco.

I was wondering how the scientists went from proposing a planet that was 1.5 to 2 times the size of earth, to proposing it being 5-10 times the size of earth.
