Oh snap, emeril autocorrected to emerald.

Fuck man, all I'm trying to do is mine this emerald for the eleventy billionth time 

Can they though? No they can’t. As we’re seeing now with the scaling of the crypto economy, that ideal has always been and will always be a pipe dream. The complexity of any currency economy is such that direct involvement is both inefficient and, in the majority of cases, actually undesirable, the need for mediators

You know pizza places like Domino’s and Pizza Hut used to have delivery fees, then they just dropped them and incorporated them into higher prices on the pizza, right? Because customers’ reactions to a $9.99 pizza + $1.50 delivery fee is much different than their reactions to an $11.49 pizza with “Free Delivery!!”

I can't ever imagine using any of these food delivery services with their insane service charges and markups on menu items 

6'1" is 4" over the average height. So, no it’s not “that tall,” but you’re sliding well down the right side of the bell curve with it

You’re way over the average American height though

“have never heard of Subaru”

Good work solving The Case of the Transparent Internet Commenter, Nancy Drew

That time never existed, belligerent stupidity had always been a point of pride. Pining for a nonexistent path is what MAGA people do

I understand what you’re saying, but that doesn’t really change much for me. From an intellectual perspective that’s divorced from the experience of standing in a lot faced with the prospect of shelling out an additional $10-15K over what I think this vehicle in front of me should cost, I can understand “oh this tech

I believe in you

Telegram is marketing itself as an alternative to big tech. With the growing anxiety over the power of corporations like Google and Apple to collect personal data and use it in a way that’s perceived as personally intrusive, people are looking for alternatives

I thought it was funny you mentioned the Ioniq 5 and I just went to test drive one for fun this weekend and commented with my impressions here

I’m impatient for the thing/point that drives prices down to where most people can adopt EVs.

Scaling this fuel would be ridiculous and unfeasible, which is the issue ethanol ran into with corn-based fuels. You end up having to cultivate more arable land for fuel than for food and you either end up with no food or no land. The energy expenditures required to turn uncultivated land into fuel-supporting farmland

Ehhh, I’ll give them a little benefit of the doubt on the sheltering. There was probably some lightning to go with this FL storm, as is the case a lot of the time, and you're instructed to find shelter when boating and lightning comes your way

Why is the boat covered in shag carpeting? 

Yes, I totally got that! I think that’s what I meant when I said “overt.” I think you’re expressing a thing a lot of people experience and feel. I feel a bit differently, I was sitting next to two strangers in a packed movie theatre just last night and I was rude to one of the people next to me and I leaned over

“It’s always the person next to you that is nuts”
