I keep wondering what would happen if bitcoin disappeared tomorrow? Would the world be swimming in excess electricity? Would prices all over drop because of over supply? I’m not sure, but I doubt it.

It’s for two people over 50 with no aid from the gov’t for the premium (which means we’re in good shape financially). The “Affordable” in the ACA is not for everyone.

It’s not all equal, but I’m looking at my $7K deductible with a $1.2K/month premium (ACA Marketplace plan) and I’m thinking that plan looks like gold.

This sounds like a job a friend has in city government (in the midwest US). They have to look busy but in the end it sounds like they really don’t do a whole lot (he’s the manager and knows they don’t have much to do but has to maintain he

I couldn’t figure out if this was satire or not. With AI and Turing tests, etc I figured maybe this could be done. I’m not sure it would be healthy, but what do I know?

We must be nearly the same age. I remember entering pages of poke codes from a magazine for a game on my Commodore 64. Those really were great (if tedious) times :)

If children bring up wanting to do hard drugs, and they talk with parents, doctors and psychologists, and still want to do it, should we let them? Hell no! They’re not mature enough to really understand the life long consequences. And so

The problem is science almost always (except maybe in physics??) pretends it has arrived at the ultimate truth this time. It’s easy to detect too: just watch for the phrase “but now we know...” It would help tremendously if new information

My father noticed the same thing and feared it would happen to him, so he kept working part time after retirement. When he finally retired completely, he died within a few years at a healthy (other than sudden cancer) age of 74. I’ve susp

Except this “entertainment” is enraging people and causing them to attack the capitol, among other things. It’s much more dangerous than typical entertainment.

Jews in pre-Nazi Germany didn’t know they had anything to hide. Are you religious? You could one day be targeted. Are you an atheist? You could one day be targeted. What political party do you agree with? You could one day be targeted

After the last election cycle in the US I’d be interested to know which platform was used to spread the most misinformation. That was very damaging.

I like the idea of promoting better ideas (love instead of hate), but looking around I feel like that has failed recently with Parler, QAnon, etc all being proof. Maybe the problem is the media (and social media) which is the vast vast majo

The memes you see passed around on Facebook seem to show that nobody is willing/able to stop and think something through. They just get outraged at a perceived slight and then pass/amplify the stupid thought. People are being le
