  It’s Discontinued. Dang.

  The price of copper is $4.44 per pound. Lady liberty is composed of 176,000 lbs of copper. Melting her down would be worth $781,440 which is less than it would cost to dismantle and melt her down. Basically she’s not worth the trouble.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Was Donald Trump ever cool?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I met him as a child in the mid 80s at a balloon festival in NJ. He was there with some other rich dude, might’ve been Warren Buffett. They were handing out those little spinning helicopter things to kids. He seemed pretty cool from a five year old’s perspective.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The loading screens omg

  I put hundreds of hours into that game and loved all 15 of them I spent actually playing

  Nobody said you get a sharpener though 😂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Comrade Krasnov is just a follower of Leninist tought !⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That unpredictability is what’s causing the stocks to tumble. People make money as stock prices fall by short selling. Basically borrowing stocks and selling them. If the price falls, the investor makes a profit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a mysterious force secretly changed EVERY clock worldwide one minute forward, how long would it take until people notice, and how would people/governments react?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People who look at timestamped data would notice immediately. Server logs, transaction logs, etc would all be missing a minute’s worth of data. Things that take a known amount of time would not be completed on time. Trains would be late, burritos would be under-microwaved, satellites would be in unexpected positions, etc. So some people would notice instantly, some may not notice at all.

  What show is that?

  You’re making ME feel old. I remember having to go over my friend’s house to play multiplayer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the dark, does anyone else sense things but not see them?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe you’re picking up on how sound is bouncing off the object, kind of like a really weak form of echolocation, and your brain doesn’t know how else to present that information other than to give you a visual.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"I know the perfect place for the ESP button! Right in front of the drivers knee!"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, I feel your pain. Tall guys need bigger cars. I don’t know what circumstances led to you being stuck in a car that doesn’t fit you but I’ve been there too. I hope you find yourself in something more suitable in the near future. I was able to finally get into a vehicle I’m comfortable in a few years ago and it’s life changing. I’m driving an Expedition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the endgame when the rich have all the money?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I see your point, but my point is that each time the money changes hands, more of it will bubble up into the coffers of newly minted billionaires.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the endgame when the rich have all the money?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If all the billionaires in the world instantaneously ceased to exist, and all their money were evenly distributed to everyone on earth, you would get a one time payment of about $1,769. Then what?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If we're living in a simulation, why would the simulation creators allow the sims to ponder and speculate whether or not they live in a simulation?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe our types of thoughts are so primitive compared to them that they can’t even imagine that we’d have them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It do be like that⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Your body runneth out of Magnesium

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can't someone create a public alternative to health insurance in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s technically possible but it would take a truly massive sum of money to get off the ground, and nobody is going to put up the capital knowing they’re not going to get a return on that investment. People don’t get the kind of money required to do this by making decisions like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And there was no on line manual⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Kids don’t even use radio. They don’t know what stations even are. Mine don’t even know what live TV is.

  I can’t believe it’s been 100 days, why is time flying by?? I love your posts, keep them coming!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Consoles are easy, and I love my PS5 for chilling and playing games, and I love my Linux PC for its power and freedom from corporate bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would it be weird if I took something my neighbor put out for trash?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually love it when people take things I put by the curb. I would much rather someone get use out of it than have it end up in a landfill.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony. What are you even doing right now? PS5 Pro Announcement⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It feels like PS3 was the biggest leap in technology. I loved my PS3, and had a ton of games for it. Since then it’s been incremental, faster loading times, incrementally better graphics, and such. The PS5 makes loading screens on Bethesda games tolerable to me
