Demand curve shifted. Basically the average person temporarily has more money due to government stimulus, so vendors increase prices, find that overall profit increased, and keep cranking the dial. It becomes a mad rush between the product

I’ve had just one person who regularly takes my advice, and is wildly successful from it. No idea why this person, my wife’s cousin, takes my advice and no one else does. Almost makes it more frustrating for when I give advice to others, wh

I’ve had job opening where I’ve had maybe 5 applicants. They were all subject to the same screening questions, all well documented and interviewed by multiple people. Usually within the first 2 questions you could tell if the person had eve

What if the hiring manager had a stack of 10 applicants, and of those 10 applicants, only 2 had a resume which appeared qualified. Let’s assume those 2 candidates were not “diverse”. But out of the remaining 8 non-qualified resumes, 1 was “

Iran has some ultra tough concrete. I question if even our best bunker busters can penetrate them.

Yes, the top cloud customers of the big three cloud providers are making similar, if not more. Startups in the cloud space are similar.

I regularly play in Vegas poker no limit hold’em tournaments, and am substantially positive. These are 12+ hour/day, multi day tournaments, and a bad player with luck just isn’t going to last the grind. 90% of the people in these tourn

Go see him in person. He’s now doing in person shows. I had to see it live in order to really believe he was doing what he showed on his social media. Absolutely mind blowing. He’s my favorite

I plan to buy a GMC Diesel 2500 next. Eventually I’ll upgrade the Tesla, but only for one with significantly more range.

A Corolla hybrid doesn’t get you in the carpool lane for commuting in Az traffic, and I already own the suburban. Sure, I could sell the suburban, and buy a Corolla, and in about 60k miles, come out ahead, but then I couldn’t haul a boat. I

I have both an EV (model 3), and an older suburban. As much as I like the concept of the model 3, there are still places where it’s impractical. My parents live in a mountain town about 1.5 miles away. The 4000ft elevation change makes it q

Emo Philips tours with Weird Al, and did this joke at the last Weird Al concert. Thrilled to hear it live.

So, what is the estate going to do with that money? Surely the family has billions they will never be able to spend, but they must liquidate everything that Paul built and loved?

Will orbiting solar panels ever work? Now that starship is viable, payload cost to orbit will dramatically drop. Is it cheaper to have orbiting solar plants than solar/battery(or whatever long term energy storage)? It’s that baseload p

What variable are we trying to understand? Probably ones that we can influence through car safety, lighting improvements, crosswalk design, barriers between cars and pedestrians. But if the exploding homeless population are stumbling around

I have thousands of dollars in my Steam library. Don’t want to purchase it again in order to get rid of my windows system. Steam has a ton of other benefits. I can literally stop playing computer games for years, and when I come back to St

I don’t understand how the US doesn’t have India deeply in its sphere of influence. With both needing to counter China, and with the US multinationals fueling the Indian IT sector, the US should have plenty of leverage that they’re not taki

I’m curious if they could break those numbers out to “homeless” vs non-homeless pedestrians. I would expect the homeless pedestrians are more likely to be higher risk takers due to drug or mental impairment, and in the US, the homeless rate

I agree. The demand curve has shifted as people have the cash and aren’t willing to substitute other products.

The front facing cameras were fogged. Just fixed that, but it’s still driving right justified all the way into the adjacent lane. Something is broken. NTSB time.

I went to the lake last week. Before heading out, I went to the grocery store to buy some soda, an infrequent purchase in my household, and was stunned to find a 12 pack for $9.99. That was at least double the price I expected. Trying to un

I just figured out what’s broken. The front facing cameras are obscured due to what appears to be glue outgassing from the glue holding the flocked material surrounding the front camera enclosure. This is the second time this has happened.

So, the bump stocks were banned, and the law abiding citizens who owned bump stocks then complied with the ATF order to destroy the bump stocks. How do they get their loss of property resolved?

The specific lab employee may not have even known they were infected. Many cases of Covid are asymptomatic. They may not even remember that they went to that wet market on the way home from the lab. Just because we don’t have a smoking gun

Then why was this virus only found at this wet market. I’m assuming there are 10k other wet markets in China. How many others found different strains of Covid?

Oh, but they do state that the infection cluster would have started in the lab. I disagree with this premise, as the lab workers are likely all wearing PPE. Just one had a protocol lapse and got infected. The rest were protected by their ma
