Dealers can’t be consuming all their supply ;)

But I agree, overall, southern European food is just so much better.

She really destroyed her legacy by refusing to retire.

Chaotic neutral should be a solo laptop screen.

Unpopular opinion, but Tesla model 3 has been the best car with the lowest total cost of ownership.

Electricity is cheaper than gas by a lot, no moving parts or fluids to replace except washer fluid, brakes last forever since it’s Regen braking.

It’s also pretty fun to drive.

Not a fan of the dude, and never bought into the hype on the tech side, but it’s a solid car.

“Boring and Safe” when the man has a button to literally annihilate the world 10 times over and can literally lead the world into WW3/massive trade wars/destroy countries over night seems petty logical.

Frozen fruits that are high in pectin. Chia seeds.

Not really.

Now the 15 sponsored links will be irrelevant to YOU as a user since they can’t personalize the ads.

They can still use context advertising which does not use your personal information but only what you are giving to them for search.

Amazon search is probably the least impacted by this, since they use context advertising by default.

I’m in tech and It’s literally not falling.

People are still hiring, just the bar is no longer absurdly low.

During the pandemic, everyone was hiring like crazy, and people coming out of boot camps were instantly hired even when they didn’t understand algorithms, didn’t understand system design, and didn’t understand engineering principles.

Now, you actually need to have a brain to be hired.

Tech is also not a bubble, because tech is in every single industry now. You might get froth in certain segments of tech (crypto, AI, whatever is the current “hot thing”), the market fundamentals are absurdly good. Operating margins of mature software companies are consistently in the mid 20s to 30s.

Raise the property tax, exemption for owner occupied, then tax the rest.

Degrowth is a dangerous ideology. For those living in rich countries, degrowth might just mean austerity, for those living in middle and lower income countries, degrowth is going to mean destitution and certain death for x percentage of the population.

You mean x football fields.

Coincidentally both “football fields” are pretty close in length.

Just switched to them. Would recommend so far.

 

It's a bit of a long podcast, but it raised some very good points. As an Asian American who went to a elite school, I'm very much torn between the two camps myself. However, I'd be very curious to hear other folks thoughts on this matter, especially on the points raised in this podcast.
