Football (the genre of games) wasnt named that because you kick the ball, but because it was played on foot, not horseback like polo. Rugby, was originally known as rugby football, after the school it was invented in

One of my friends has an electric mini thats pretty sweet

Bringing a forklift to the gym and trying to pick up all the different shapped weights.

I just spent the afternoon driving 79" helical Piles with a dingo for a solar array, the n grated the land, and since I had an extra hour with the machine , helped landscaping crew on site dig out a trench to plant hedges.

Easily the most fun ive had at work in a month.

That sounds way more fun

In my state its $15 but I haven’t seen a job in my town posted in the last 8+ years for under $21 because vhcol.

The general consensus is minimum wage is whatever the grocery store is hiring at (they have had a poster at the front door for 20 years now posting what theyre hiring at. Right now its $32/$35 for overnight restocking) - every buisness owner knows theyre not going going to get any applications if they can’t beat it.

Even tipped positions all pay $16+ so people can actually make rent.

When I was a kid, my parents had a dog that was already getting up there in years, named Arthur. At some point it was explained to me that he was moving slowly and getting tired more quickly because of his arthritis.

I thought my dad was saying ‘Arthur-itis,’ as a way of saying the dog was getting old and frail. I discovered my mistake when we were at my grandmother’s and I blamed her taking an hour to get ready to go out for dinner on her ‘Nana-itis’

Theres an old conspiracy theory, pre smart phone, that it was about preventing terrorists using phones as missile guidance. Basically, if you see a cellphone jumping 1 tower to the next, you can tell speed by distance and time between towers’ coverage areas.

They didnt want phones on planes creating constant false positives theyd have to verify against flight logs, etc, and obviously didnt want to give enemies ideas ideas, hence the line about interference, but of interference were a likely hazard, theyd be locking up phones for the flight.

Where is this guy’s PR team? Seemingly every other thing he says involves directing roadkill, often the genitals. You’d think there would be someone around to tell him ‘normal people dont do that.’

Or at least that if he has to mention mutilating a corpse, to pause and add a dramatic “for science!” Afterward.

"RFK Jr once cut penis off ‘road-killed raccoon, for science!’ in New York? New book revealed’ sounds way less psychopathic

most people refer to them motherfuckers

His way is decidedly Freudian.

I think i headed off AI at my job.

Back when chat gpt was still new, the DOO of the 20 person company company i worked at sent out a employment contract out as a PDF asking us to esign. I replied-all back asking if it was intentional that there was a 3 year non-compete in the middle of a list of terms under a header stating

‘<state> is an at will state. The following terms of employmebt are revokeable by either party upon notice of termination of employment:’

The company owner replied back LOL to the group and that was the last of it. They never did actually end up asking us to sign an employment contract. Have yet to see any AI adoption, besides the office director occasionally responding to my emails based on mistakes she blames on the ai summary.

I think i disagree. ‘Bilionaires’ makes it seem seem like a nebulous group of individuals, like

‘oh <insert random billionaire who hadnt been in the news lately for something evil> just happens to have a ton of money, you can’t hold that against them without evaluating their actions as an individual’

The problem is that they are a class, or rather that the class exists as a class and that they are use their power, act as and are catered to, as a class.

If there were 100 individuals around the word who just happened to have assets valuing 1,000,000,000$ or more, even if they owned shitty companies companies and were all assholes, that would be one thing.

Assuming they not associate with each other, conspire together to warp society and governments to their shared wills etc, it would be a far different world.

If they were seen as just rare individuals, governments would not bend to their whims; one billionaire threatens to offshore his buisness unless he gets favorable laws, to ignore taxes etc, the country threatens to nationalism his buisness, or just locks his ass up. I one guy is found to be bribing one or countless politicians, thats a treasonous scandal.

When a couple dozen are making these threats in lockstep, they are holding the country’s economy hostage. And when between them they are bribing all the politicians, that becomes the staus quo.

its when they act as a class that its a real problem.

Oh. I thought you were talking about the women’s lack of arms compared to the men.

theres only like 6.5B usd worth of monero (compared to ~1Trilion BTC)

At 20Milion barrels of oil (/ dolars if its $1 a barrel) a day, theyd own all the monero within a year, meaning theyd have told pretty actively be selling it back onto the market for another currency to keep a supply for shippers to use. Compared to BTC where they’d need 136 years of hoarding to accumulate it all
