  Where I live, there are people who make a decent amount of cash by grabbing whatever metal they can find out of the trash and taking it to scrapyards. There are a couple of trucks that swing past my house a few times the night before and the day of trash pickup. And myself, I grabbed two bikes by just knocking on the door and asking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are so many leaders in tech evil?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  These people have always been bad. Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, Ford, all of them had their issues. The big difference between then and now is the information we have access to. These leaders are more or less forced to live a very public life. We can find all sorts of articles and investigative journalism reports about Elon actually having family money. And when you are rich enough to control the few newspapers, the stories are going to put you in a very good light.

  I agree with you on that. And the changes still are going on. I remember in school in the 90’s it wasn’t uncommon for a college guy to date a high school girl with no real repercussion. Not saying that it was right back then, just looked at differently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Was Elvis Presley a pedo?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I won’t say acceptable, as there were still issues and such, but it was definitely persecuted differently.

  Priscilla was 14 when they met, and he managed to convince her father to let her live with him. I blame the father just a much since he knew what was going down.

  Beef makes money. Just like cars, oil makes money.

  Like I can with Klarna, Affirm, Zip, any number of credit cards, etc.

  The land mass is pretty large on its own giving it continent status, but the who of it sits on a single continental plate if my memory serves me right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lower Decks: Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I love it simply because it’s a Trek show that stopped taking itself seriously. Star Trek always had an amount of stoicism about it, and LD takes it away and points out all the stupid stuff fans have just taken. And the whole thing works because it isn’t a crew at the edge of being heroes. My two cents.

  Check out Tailscale. They have 20 machine limit on the free plan. It runs on wireguard and is pretty secure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone feel like an actual adult?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m 42. I have blue hair, watch cartoons, play board games, wear novelty shirts, no I am not an adult. Until I have to be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people say that "return to office" is about raising commercial real estate prices?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The more a building is useful, the more the surrounding area is worth. If nobody is at the office, no one will rent the store fronts in the building. No renters, lower real estate price.
