Comment Streisand effect? (Score 1) 470

Seems to me Texas's efforts to hinder Tesla's sales only draws more attention to the brand. If they really wanted to hurt Tesla's sales, they'd buy a fleet of them for government vehicles, then constantly show them stalled along their highways due to Teslas' lack of range and the fact that their highways are some of the longest and loneliest stretches in the country.

Comment Fuck doctors (Score 1) 415

I refuse to submit to western medicine anymore. Put lots of faith and money into it over the years, and it was a waste of both. Honestly caused more problems than it fixed. So at this point, I'd rather die on the street in front of a hospital than go in. Can fix most anything with garlic and tea, anyway.

And to make things more ironic, I'm dating a doctor. So the subject of this comment can be taken literally. ;)

Comment PayPal already did it (Score 3, Interesting) 196

This is in fact how PayPal came to be. These four guys would go out to eat often, and when it came time to pay, one guy would cover the meal, and the other three would reimburse him by whipping out their PDAs and transferring the funds to his bank account. They quickly realized that this concept of quickly and easily transferring money electronically was the wave of the future, formed a company called Confinity, and launched this product called PayPal a year later. Within only a few months, Confinity was bought out by some guy named Elon Musk.

I just wish Google would buy out PayPal and have it all under one damn roof. Plus, how cool would it be if Google made space ships? :D
