Things said before: Humans will never see the edge of the Earth Humans will never fly Humans will never get to space

Agreed, and in my opinion he's 100% right. But I'm still invested in both. The market hasn't been working on fundamentals for a long time. I have a fair amount of value stocks and …

Because of crap like this, our business has a standing policy of always using copy and paste when transferring data. We view it as a show-stopping bug when we can't do that from on…

Not my cup of tea, but kudos on making something unique. The world need more of that.

For me, the era of MikroTik is sort of... now. Don't get me wrong, they make powerful and feature-complete stuff, but their UI sort of assumes you really know what you're doing. I …

RFK walked the talk. The previous inhabitant was... and I'll try to be polite... easy to dismiss when they said it.

Yes... and no. DJI/BYD, etc are legit amazing. But entire ghost cities filled with unused condos scream bubble. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underoccupied_developments_in_...

When my Korean friends tell me that my cuisine isn't spicy enough: Well... let's talk about that spice.

For me, my blind spot has been China. They've maintained their bubble economy for decades longer than I (and a few other smarter people than me) think possible.

Fair point, and thanks. Certainly true that Starlink satellites are already successfully dealing with the problem and use a lot of energy. I think the trouble with my thinking was …

Any idea how they're handling the space data center heat problems? Energy harvesting in space is easy, while getting rid of heat is quite hard.

There's a relationship in that a persuasive kid pointing out the obvious flaws could collapse a Keynesian beauty contest.

Yep. Keesian Beauty Contest! (Dear Reader, if you have no idea what that is, it's a good idea to know about in my opinion)

No I dont, and you're quite correct. I'm one of those weirdos who thinks The Lord of the Rings movies were better because they left out some things from the books, so I'm happy wit…

Yes it is.. I'm glad that it seems that he's cherry-picking the good bids from a few books to give us a potentially good movie.

In the book, Paul's nine-year-old son fuses baby sandworm larvae to his skin and becomes a worm-god-human-face weirdo. I mean, I've seen Apocalypse Now, but I suspect the movie of …

Que? Market analysis thinks SpaceX sucks as a stock. Heck, it goes against all my value investing instincts for me to even have 2% of my net value in it. To be fair however, 15% of…

Some of us appreciate the "Eat fucking food, and do some exercise" part of it. The rest of it is a big meh. Not like I was looking to Rachel Levine as a paradigm either.

David Lynch's "Elephant Man" was considered a good kids' movie for my 5th-grade class. Put it this way: My dad used to beat me, and that was less traumatic than that movie.

I say this as a fan of Frank Herbert, and I've read all the Dune books: Thank god the Dune 3 movie looks like it isn't a strict adaptation of "Children of Dune".

We've set up separate channels in our messaging app: One for random stuff and one for emergencies, and we only leave notifications on for the latter.

The elites don't want us directly voting for stuff. Got it. While I would like to see us return to having federal senators elected by the state legislatures, I'm not going to give …

FYI - there are already a few states that don't allow companies to enforce such draconian noncompetes. Moving to California is better than killing yourself most of the time.

The Netherlands are filled with Netherlanders. The US... not so much.
