What's insane is that million dollar McLaren was about 0.0004% of his net worth. He could buy 250,000 vehicles that I could never even dream of affording.

We need to eat this motherfucker.

It just occurred to me to wonder: does he even drive one of his own company's cars?

Sorry! We're both biologists, we get nerdy.

I have stout, wide, "Fred Flintstone" feet. Is there a market for my people?

I came to mention the same. Static phenotype ≠ static genotype.

I have ADHD with ASD tendencies, despite not being autistic (long story). People like us are more frequently the types who find something new to be interesting, then dive in and learn EVERYTHING about it. For example, I recently bought a new car and spent days near obsessively learning about it. How it works (first electric car), how to model current vs acceleration, how to tear it down and rebuild it, etc. I'm now in the process of compiling a FAQ for my wife, who doesn't share my obsessive tendencies and can't retain my frequent "hey sweetie, this is interesting!" data dumps, and setting up monitoring and automations for it on our home lab.

I used to think this was what everyone did. Turns out it's not normal.

I just tried this and it's genius! I haven't ever given side mirror adjustment any thought.

Idaho, the South of the North. I now live in Washington, where that kind of shit doesn't fly.

No, you're fine! I didn't specify. I lived with it for so long, it didn't even occur to me to outline the process.

Perfect five out of seven.

Nice

We had to fix it or arrange to have it fixed, then the landlord would verify it was fixed to their satisfaction. The landlord was otherwise hands off until it exceeded the cost limit. This was the norm for the area.

They provide maintenance free housing...

Keep in mind this isn't always the case. Landlords where I used to live are increasingly requiring tenants to pay for some maintenance costs. A past landlord had us pay for anything $300 or less.

I live in a state with an online training requirement and it's a joke. The employees at sporting goods stores actually encouraged me to quickly click through to the end and print the results.

As someone who supports firearm ownership, I also believe it should require a background check, a thorough psychological evaluation, and equally thorough, in-person safety training and testing, all repeated periodically in order to maintain ownership.

I have a relatively common "rare" condition and saw over 40 doctors while seeking a diagnosis. I can personally attest that most physicians range between not very bright to astoundingly stupid. You don't have to be intelligent to become a physician, just dedicated with access to the right resources.

Ambulatory yeast infection?

That essay isn't terribly well thought out. They have an issue with the increase in employees, but lack any evidence that they're not actually required. The core of their thesis seems to be "it was fine with fewer employees before, why do we need more now?" but they fail to provide much supporting evidence beyond substantiating increasing levels of spending over the years.

Edit: also, this is seven years old and it appears Guy's predictions have yet to even begin to manifest.

I would donate towards this.

It's WAY too over the top for me. I feel like I'm going to stroke out from overstimulation after a few minutes.

And not even the cool or fun perverted. I'm always hesitant to kink shame, but forcing your kink on someone else, even just conversationally, is incredibly awful.
