Driving to work takes me 10 minutes.

With $48M they can buy it back.

There’s only 100 people on the island. Assuming that 100 is about 50 families, that’s about one million dollars per family. They can buy some nice houses on higher ground with that kind of money.

Superplus this. Modern Macs are not easily upgradable, but if you have an older MacBook Pro, bumping the RAM to 8GB at least (16 is better) and replacing the spinny drive with an SSD will give a have-to-see-it-to-believe-it performance boost.

Any of the following would cost upwards to $50:

He’s still skinny.

Still the greatest crossword puzzle ever:

Don’t like it? Don’t work there.

“In 1992, Bob Newhart was a comedy god.”

I would totally do it. Heights don’t faze me a bit. But the $33 cost, plus the inevitable queueing up — pass.

If this was real it’d be the killer app of VR.

Wind kills. If these numbers were linked to fossil fuels, Greenpeace would be in a tizzy:

I was just trolling him. Like you said, he just tossed out an ad hominem attack without offering any semblance of a counter argument, so I didn’t feel it was worth responding to with any particular coherence.

Sick burn, dude.

I don’t recall the details, but it seems to me that if Uzi had just countered with “give me $x and you can have the domain” Nissan Motors would have gone for it. He could have then reinvested that money into his lucrative janky PC and vintage website design business.

That guy is the world’s biggest moron. He should just take a big check from Nissan and give them the domain. Instead he decided to be a tool about it.

Or a laser pointer.
