Bobs and Vagene

You must have "good taste". From the obnoxious article:

Not sure there will ever be serious human colonization elsewhere in the solar system unless people want to live in tunnels.

Uh, I watched The Flintstones on MeTV just last night

Instead of calling it "margin" or "leverage", call it "debt". Also, how about the term "speculation" instead of "investing"?

Reddit forums make it seem like option trading is "safe", when what it really amounts to is betting against someone who likely knows WAY more about the market than you do. Yes, you only lose the vig, but those can add up fast.

It's a nicer shirt, and will last a decade.

Automation is hard and expensive, and will get easier and cheaper. You have to start here to get there. What happens when we get there is really the issue.

True. A lot of it goes to share buybacks to increase stock prices.

I am OK with watching commercials if I am not paying anything otherwise. I use Tubi, Pluto and a couple of other ad-supported services. I understand that they can't offer the service for free. And really, the number of commercials shown on Tubi is a small fraction of what I'd see on a cable channel. I have been watching reruns of Most Extreme Elimination Challenge and it takes 23 minutes per episode, because Spike TV showed 10 minutes of commercials out of every 30, and Tubi only shows 3 minutes.

With digital OTA channels and free live streaming on Pluto and other services, it's getting hard to justify spending this kind of money to watch commercials. The ONLY reason I might do it is to watch Baseball, and there seems to be no reason to do that this year.

Toss together corporate buzzwords?

I think once the malls saw how much the battery replacements were gonna cost they just chucked them all in the dumpster. The only thing these things did was provide a "substitute for walking" that didn't allow you to use stairs. Since they were obviously nothing but pointless expensive toys to begin with, I really want to know how much people like Bob Metcalfe were paid to HINT HINT that a REVOLUTION WAS COMING.

TFA pretty much says the same thing you do, but without assuming that these K-pop "stans" are foreigners as you do.

This was the only thing I used it for.

When I reset my Google Wiretap Companion to use YouTube music, the first song it played for me was Never Gonna Give You Up. I couldn't believe it, but then I realized that I've been Rickrolled so many times that Google must think it's my favorite song.
