I was a couple months off, but I wanted to let you know that bitcoin hit a new all time high.

That’s awesome. I’ve heard of some cities doing that, nice to see an example.

I had a shower thought the other day; what would the world be like if advertising didn’t exist?

No billboards or giant signs everywhere blocking our views. Content would be better because it wouldn’t be interrupted by commercials. But think of how much money is spent on advertising? Companies would have to invest that into other areas to be successful instead, such as cheaper and/or better quality products, or higher wages for their workers. Companies would have to work really hard to get a good reputation so their products could spread through word of mouth instead of using advertising to invade everyone’s space.

I’m sure there’s some downsides, but it sounds kind of amazing.

Wait really? What’s the catch?

Girl scout cookies

Pretty close except scandinavia. It’s a mess up there.

I think the evolution of multicellular life is most likely to be the great filter, since it took the longest to develop on earth.

Or the cumbox. Or that kid who broke his arms. Or that dog, Colby I think? No wonder AI always wants to exterminate humanity in sci-fi.

30km/h is about 18 mph. That’s gonna be a hard sell in America.

Most of his critiques are of US infrastructure, so it would have been nice to have the conversions in the video:

30 km/h = 18.6 mph

50 km/h = 31.1 mph

60 km/h = 37.3 mph

88.5 km/h = 55 mph

I don’t think the technology is there yet. As long as people need to wear big bulky goggles and headsets it’s not going to take off. Make something that’s about as cumbersome as sunglasses and less than $1000 and there might be mass adoption.

Not even. There are several parking lots in my city that are way bigger than they need to be. They’re not even full on Black Friday. The lots are just unreasonably big for no reason.

If only there was a way to capture the methane from live-stock and use it as energy. Most natural gas is just methane anyway.

That’s our motto

I’d love to see an operating fusion reactor in my lifetime. Real sci-fi technology

Gonna try this out

Right now I’m up over 400% on my bitcoin, it’s by far my best performing investment. Come back to this comment in 6 months and see where it’s at.

Bitcoin is currently at $57,000 and it’s up 144% in the last year. Haters gonna hate

Is there a guide on how to install it? I tried a few days ago and couldn’t figure it out

Which is actually a bad thing, because it doesn’t give voters a choice.
