The current gold market is valued at 34.243 trillion dollars.
I don’t know the scope of the damage here but lets assume it costs 50 billion to repair. That would be about 353 tons (US) of gold using current prices. The coat of this represents approximately 0.14% of the current global gold market.

If time travel is ever invented I’d love to give a plaeolithic hunter gatherer a crunch wrap
- Comment on Student Parking 2 days ago:
My university was kind enough to offer a free lot on the far side of campus. They even had the bus go there.
They would also regularly send parking enforcement to find cars “hiding” off main campus that had delinquent fines. They would then boot the students car removing their access to transportation.
Pretty cruel since this was deep in the south and there was no functioning transit off-campus

I had the same thought but he gets so very excited when we pull out the tube.

To be clear this is not just straight petroleum jelly it’s formatted for cats, but the tube days 98% petroleum jelly with maple flavor
- Comment on Yummy yummy, in my tummy 6 days ago:
We feed out cat a little petroleum jelly to get his insides lubricated. This was prescribed by a vet after he was very constipated. That was an expensive vet visit

Legitimately, keep having to set the heat lower and lower
- Comment on Tips 6 days ago:
Yes this is true, but in a world where people.are struggling more and more to buy basic necessities like groceries and pay their bills it’s a bit tone deaf.
Yes some people overspend frivolously, but many are just broke after inflation and tariffs

Oh yeah we certainly have that many homes ready to be occupied tomorrow
- Comment on The consequences of not building enough housing 6 days ago:
You know I see this figure a lot, but I wonder how many of these are actually liveable.
My grandfather’s old home is unoccupied, that’s because the roof entirely collapsed. The county refuses to remove it from the property taxes. Based on all available records it’s an unoccupied home, but it’s a total loss in reality.

1 healthy grocery please

That’s really not well proven.
There’s some evidence for and some against. If these two have mental conditions caused by environmental factors that they overcome they may actually provide a really good environment to a child.

Gas pumps no, grabbing a bag of chips from the gas station yes.
Sit down restaurants no, fast food restaurant yes*
*unless he only does drive thru
- Comment on What a great idea 1 week ago:
Depends on the region. I only know a handful of stores in my town that offer it. It’s not uncommon for the lanes to be closed.
Reliably the largest grocery stores on the edge of town have them and they are always open. In town, near the train station, or in the surrounding villages not so much

I remember my days as a cashier when a guy in his 50s came up to buy something and was just like “I don’t know how this works my wife does the shopping”. I just scanned his items and gave him the total. Once again he couldn’t understand.
I had to give this grown man step by step instructions on making a purchase. Including how to use a card for payment.
It was wild. Even in a world where his wife does the shopping has he never ran into a gas station for a snack or gone to lunch on his own?

I’d love students to be given a lesson on tricking AI into giving a false answer. It’s not hard and should be pretty eye opening

This may be what pops the bubble.
Inverting ads into the response would ruin the responses. Making it even more useless
- Comment on Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers wins lawsuit against Colorado. Judge claims there is no evidence that gas stoves cause or contribute to health issues 2 weeks ago:
I’ve never lived in a home or an apartment with a gas stove. These places have had gas lines, but people weren’t interested.
- Comment on If it fits... 2 weeks ago:
True, but depending on the city there’s basically no real way to dispute a parking ticket. Most of the time a judge will just automatically side with the city

You are correct but no need to say “modern man”. Biologically we are the same as those humans. We would just need to adjust to the new diet. Our bodies can still handle their lifestyle

Someone else already posted comps for the whole area and 2 to 3 million is closer.
The house from the movie goes for more than the surrounding properties due to its fame

- Comment on Anon is a man of steel 5 weeks ago:
The mill is doing fine. The increased tariffs help them sell their product since they are producing US made steel.
The mill will close after the tariffs crash the economy and they have no one left to buy their steel, but for a few quarters the profits were amazing
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
That value may be inflated due to the film.
I’d like to see comparative properties in the same area
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
From Google AI:
So it’s unsourced and likely inaccurate.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
I’d guess 2 to 3 million.
If you put that home in a lower cost of living area sure it could be 500,000 but not in the area the movie takes place
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Assuming they purchased that home in 1980 at 250k that would be valued just under 1 million today after inflation.
That house would easily be selling for 2 to 3 million now
