Why don't they give the award to Amy Coney Barrett?

With all this money they'll raise from the IPO, maybe Reddit will finally be profitable! It's definitely not a way for investors to unload their turds on the public.

The Ukrainians should capitulate like the Franks at Poitiers or the Venetians at the Battle of Lepanto, or the Austrians at the Battle of Vienna. Perhaps if the Ukranians were Catholic, the Pope might support their resistance more.

Securing a general purpose operating system seems like the Dutch boy with his finger in the dike. It doesn't matter if its Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X. Lots of little leaks, not enough fingers to plug them.

A blockchain can provide an irrevocable record, and it can provide a mechanism for uncooperating parties to agree that the record should be created. This is usually used for financial transactions involving coins of dubious value, but it can also be used for recording transactions of real world assets as long as those transactions can be faithfully linked to the event on the blockchain. Therefore the blockchain doesn't really prove that a transaction is fraudulent or not, all it proves is that a sufficient number of parties believe it is not.

When you have a madman threatening nuclear confrontation, when does the probability of a first strike that might prevent significant retaliation have fewer megadeaths than being the victim of a first strike? This is the problem with sustained nuclear sabre rattling. What if its taken seriously?

Some military devices help prevent conflict and minimize its harm. A lot of modern warfare is increasing situational awareness. For example, radar, night vision, surveillance, reconnaissance, electronic warfare, tactical communications, and signals intelligence. Of course, these technologies can be used in a way that harms as well. But the alternative is a blind slugfest that probably harms a lot more civilians and friendly fire.

This is like that episode of Rick and Morty.

"I hear the sound of marching feet down Sunset Boulevard To Crescent Heights and there at Pandora’s Box We are confronted with a vast quantity of plastic people"

I think the hydrogen is intended to be sourced from natural gas, which is not a great thing. The only way I see this working in an environmentally sustainable way is an efficient means of solar hydrolysis (much more efficient than photosynthesis).

No we don't! This isn't argument, it's contradiction! Yes it is! No it isn't! Yes it is! No it isn't!

Don't worry, they're going to a subscription burger based model. You'll have to pay them each month to enter the restaurant.

Who should Biden worry about more? Getting the left wing of his party to nominate him, or getting the general electorate to the polls in November? It's a no brainer calculation.

Adios Moscow Mitch!

The problem with the 5G phones is that they effect the thought waves of the pilots and put them into a deep dive trance. I can't blame them for wearing those tinfoil hats. Modern aviation is not what they taught in flight school.

Yeah 1 gram of food has 21510516252.4 food calories.

I remember once when I accidentally turned on my phone during a flight instantly the plane started to plummet out of the sky. The phone slipped out of my hands and I groped for it while people and service items flailed around the cabin as the plane tumbled. Finally I slipped out of my belt and grabbed it. With only 10,000 feet of altitude to spare, I finally managed to get the phone to go into shutdown mode by holding the power button down. The plane righted itself immediately, and I slipped the phone into my pocket quietly and kept a low profile for the rest of the flight.

Trump is like a wasp laying his eggs in the Republican party. He is 100% the predator they voted for and will ruin them.

I'd love to see Ryan Cohen short sell the Reddit IPO. What would WSB do?
