If I wanted to trick GM supercruise, I could just tape a picture of a face onto the driver's headrest and put a sandbag on the seat, no?

If the buyer is paying with a mortgage, then the bank will only lend based on what they appraise the house as worth.

IDK, he made it 15 years and there's little to no chance of them getting the money back from him. Seems like it worked out well.

I'm imagining a black and white Oscar Schindler cracking open a beautiful, bright red can of Coca Cola and taking a sip.

Would be quite trivial if they actually land on the moon. All you need is a USB drive or maybe one of those physical tokens they have for bitcoin.

Somolia has taxes. If you don't want to pay (income) tax there is Monaco, UAE, Bermuda, Bahamas, etc. Somehow they manage to have roads and firemen.

I mean I'm not sure what it would even mean for becoming rich to be accessible to 90% of the population since the definition of rich is having above average means. It seems like only the lottery would fit there. On the other hand it

Seems like it, for the simple reason that the infrastructure and process for an average person becoming rich is in place now in a way it wasn't in the 80s. For example there are startup incubators, VCs and general startup culture.

This person sounds like she should take some of that money and spend it on therapy. Talking to someone would probably be better than this navel gazing and thought-spiraling.

But that seems fine. People would still have access to meat, it would just be at a much higher price. The price should reflect the ecological cost anyways.

Lately it's been grilling and eating in my backyard. Some fresh air and hearing the birds chirp is great. Also seeing the Siberian Squills bloom in my neighborhood, painting the ground with a pretty blue/violet color.

Eh. It's pretty clear that people blow huge money on all sorts of shit that they think makes a different but doesn't in reality.

by jxidjhdhdhdhfhf 6y ago
They're also tend to blow money on things that have no real use whatsoever yet they fervently believe they are absolutely necessary to live a normal life even though 95+% of the planet lives without them.

The parent comment was about being tied to a job by insurance. If you quit that job you won't have any income so you will qualify in Medicaid expanded states, where only income matters. And again, if you can't get Medicaid, you

It isn't and hasn't been for a decade (since the ACA) Medicaid is free and of reasonable quality. Or if you can't get access to Medicaid because you live in a non-Medicaid-expanded state then a silver ACA plan with 94% cost

by jxidjhdhdhdhfhf 6y ago
Medicaid is free if you're income is low (such as by not having a job). Or in non-Medicaid-expanded states, an ACA plan will be very low cost and have very high levels of coverage.

I would suggest looking at government or large, stogy companies (e.g. banks, insurance companies, etc). I think the key here is to find a place where everyone works slowly and it is very difficult to fire anyone.

IMO, see if you can find a government or big corp position where things move slowly and nobody really cares about the job.

This is kind of the end result we're heading for, where you can only talk candidly with people who are equal or lower than you on the oppression hierarchy. The shitty part is that I'm pretty sure 99% of people are reasonable huma

I'm not sure but certainly it would depend on the crop as different harvesting methods are used for different crops. For example, panels could be built so cows can graze under them or for handpicked crops so that people can walk under

by jxidjhdhdhdhfhf 6y ago
One possibility is to use farmland or grazing land. You can pick crops that do better in part shade and then place solar panels over them. If done right it could have a beneficial effect on crop growth while at the same time earning extra

Aren't car battery packs under $100/KWh? Is there some other factor which drives up the price for grid level storage?

Might be of interest to you: the think tank Rethinkx is forecasting wind and solar + lithium ion batteries will be cheaper than continuing to run already existing coal and gas power plants by 2030. They believe this will cause the capital

Why would someone choose to work more? I close my laptop at 4pm on the dot and don't think about work until the next morning.

I personally am more than happy to give up a personal, permanent desk, to be able to WFH most days. Carting around photos, notebooks or knick knacks is an extremely small price to pay.

If it paid as well as my current job I think I would much rather be a mailman.
