Why does Venmo feel cumbersome in comparison? You scan a QR code, type in an amount and send; that sounds like what you're describing no?

I walked that same route 10 years ago, ya know who was building that road and driving on it? The Nepalese. They want the road so they don't have to put tanks of kerosene on their backs and hike it in, they don't want their kids to

You just don't respond the way that most people do to nicotine. Not every body and brain responds the same way to drugs.

Comparing regulations around financial instruments or satellite launches, no matter how onerous, to slavery is ridiculous. One is clearly immoral and no one would question the validity of civil disobedience as a method to over throw immoral

A coworker looked over my shoulder as I was signing up for Robinhood checking today, saw the American flag debit card and literally yelled, "I NEED THAT CARD!". He signed up using my referral code, you have to learn that you'

In case you aren't joking, it isn't at all. A highly functional bureaucracy allows a state to leverage scale in a way that less sophisticated governments just can't do. Infrastructure, military, R&D, and trade are all thi

>As the son of boomers and parent of two millennials I guess this is somewhat normal but it's so weird for me to hear, millennials are 81-96 so it's entirely possible for you, a Gen X (65-80), to have a millennial child but it

Maybe a more "nearly trillion-dollar company" twist on your idea: The Prime Marketplace, only official providers, e.g. Sony, Bose, and products sold, and vetted, by Amazon only available to Prime members.

I know Fresno is relatively large but the entire purpose of this route was/is/I guess isn't to get people from SF to LA as a rival to air travel.

What the heck is the train line doing near Fresno? Why is it not following I-5 and making zero stops in between the South Bay and LA?

Admittedly the only film that comes to my mind imediately is LA Confidential, but that film stars loose fitting pants. Which period films with tight fitting pants are you thinking of?

This always surprises me as cutting out refined and/or unrefined carbohydrates has no effect on my weight. The only thing that moves my weight down is reducing calories or increasing activity while maintaining the same caloric intake.

I'm shocked to the point of disbelief on this as well, this does not pass the smell test for me. Anybody, especially doctors, should have been well aware of the risks, this was not a surprise to anybody with as much as a toe in the pub

That doesn't make sense to me, the definition has changed. The IPK was 1 kg and the copies of it were all slightly heavier or lighter, for argument let's say IPK1 was 1.1 kg and IPK2 was 0.9 kg. Now that we have a constant for the
