Playing 100 matches to unlock all of the characters doesn’t seem that crazy to me. 100 matches seems like nothing if you are going to play it for a couple of years.

Their money, their car.

I believe they are called Truck Nuts

It’s addiction and chasing the dopamine rush that gambling can provide.

Plenty of people suffer consequences, just not the rich people.

You may know nothing about chemical engineering but you still know more than Howard does.

Meh, 'some' of what he has said is interesting (?). Most of it is $5 word salad and not worth parsing through. There are much better people to put time into listening too.

I always appreciated Feynman's approach of "if I can't explain it to a first year undergrad, I don't understand it" or something like that. If you require $5 works to sound like you know what you are talking about, you probably don't.

My brother-in-law new the guy that managed a local dealership in my hometown. They had a truck I wanted to look at so my brother-in-law talked to his buddy who set me up with one of the salesmen. I was coming home to visit my parents so I booked a time to come look at the truck.

No way! They are doing this because it is somehow "green"! And carbon neutral. They definitely aren't doing this to make money. Definitely not.

I'd be surprised if seatbelts are of any benefit at 140 mph.

I would argue it's a textbook example and basically the norm. If management asks for feedback it's generally a rhetorical request.

Next you’re going to suggest that rather than an army of autonomous trucks on the highway we build some sort of contraption when a single motor is chained to a bunch of trailers and pulls them on some sort of designated metal pathway. You are one crazy SOB.

Billionaires don’t give credit.

I impressed he can lick the whole boot. I always just assumed it was only part of it.

Phillips screws. Robertson was invented for a reason. Phillips are hot garbage.

Yes, the billionaires are so generous to feed the plebs.

I mean,it is demonstrable orders of magnitude worse

If this was a stand up bit I might agree with you. However, people have to play with idiots like this and it drags games down. No one wants to have someone on their team like this so game makers should get rid of them. 

I think “unmoored from reality due to his privilege” is more accurate than “insane”. If there is a functional difference. I think billionaires generally see people as a resource or vermin. You don’t make billions but giving a shit about your fellow humans.
