Comment A latte, a latte, my cattle for a latte! (Score 3, Funny) 196

From the article, "He’s told his followers that “cash is trash” and that he doesn’t trust the U.S. dollar, calling it “fake.” Instead, he’s recommended investing in assets like precious metals, bitcoin or Wagyu cattle."

I thought this was great advice, so I tried to pay for my Starbucks' caramel apple spice espresso macchiato with a Wagyu steer. It was a bit awkward getting that bull over the counter, but otherwise, no problem. They tried to give me change in gold bullion, but I saw that the spot market of gold prices was dropping that morning, so I asked for Dogecoin instead. Et voila! 90 minutes later I was sipping my (by then) cold coffee. Easy peasy.

Comment funding (Score 1) 254

Simple: funding. It's similar to how negative results get such a poor reception. Journals, funding agencies, tenure committees, don't want to hear "we didn't discover what we were hoping to find" and they're only slightly more receptive to "we discovered exactly what we expected". They like to hear "man! you'll be as surprised as we were when you hear what we found."
