And why we should abolish the free market in the long run, for that matter.

Abolish free market?

You want the government to control all the means of production and the distribution of wealth, and be able to dictate the prices of goods and services and wages?

Like it sounds nice, just like communism in theory.

Could it work out? Sure. Would it? I don't think so

A picture is worth a thousand words

"Hi I am...I am looking for sex"

If you are using a dating website and actually trying. You'd look at a profile, read their bio, and then send a message that had something to do with their bio. (Could also comment on pictures)

But it is a numbers game to an extent and most messages sent will never see a reply.

So what is the least effort highest reward thing to send first? Private picture.

They are hoping that the person opens it and it catches their eye.

If their first thought is to send a private picture, they are not really looking for small talk. So it has the added bonus of weeding out non-sexual people.

It's no risk, high reward

It's not bhj because it doesn't follow what a bhj is.

It would have to be set up like:

Don't use the exploding blender, ow the blender exploded.

It's random but not "to the woods" random

Like everyone knows what happens when you drink bhj, but that's the joke they are trying to make.

No one knows what happens when a regular blender explodes. No one knows what "to the woods" means. They aren't related and just random.

A laptop with a screen on both sides would have its niche.

Shuting it would be like a tablet.

You could do something while a person across watches.

If you could rotate the screen you could swivel the screen to swap between two physical screens. I prefer two monitors over an ultra wide or trying to digitally swap between two screens. Rotating screen would have the problem of not being able to see both at once.

However, if you made the screen on the back hinge forward. You could flip the screen towards you and have a second physical monitor.

Sounds expensive and not really needed. But it wouldn't be a bad design

Step 1: Limit e-bike speed

Step 2: Enforce minimum speed limit

Step 3: Profit

Dang you would have gotten BoobSmiles too

I get that

I wouldn't buy diamonds or gold hoping they increase in price just as much as I wouldn't buy bitcoin to do the same.

If you offered me 1USD in Gold, Diamond, or Bitcoin.

I would take the gold. It has the most intrinsic value.

The probably that gold hits 0USD is less than bitcoin hitting 0USD.

The only reason you'd take bitcoin is if you think that it has a higher ceiling. Intrinsic value is the floor. But that is gambling

Craps is almost a team game.

If everyone plays the Pass Line (Shooter, the person throwing the dice has to play it) then everyone wins/loses together.

Everyone at the table playing the Pass Line is pulling for the shooter to make his point.

Now imagine if you have one person out of 8 playing the Don't Pass. The person playing Don't Pass line is hoping the other 7 players lose so that they can win.

It's almost equivalent to everyone at the roulette table playing black. And you walk up and say "I hope it comes red". Like why don't you just hope it comes black so you can win when everyone wins?

My brother takes the dice and rolls the point. Everyone places their chips. I place my chips. The dealer asks me, "Did you mean to put your chips on the Don't Pass Line?" "Yes, that's exactly what I meant to do." Silence. Then my sister: "You're an asshole." My brother rolls again: seven. The Don't Pass Line wins me a couple bucks.

This doesn't make any sense

1. Once the point is established by the shooter on the come out roll, you cannot play Pass or Don't Pass lines.

So after your brother takes the dice and rolls the point. You cannot place your chips on Pass/Don't Pass. Maybe why dealer was confused?

2. Don't Pass Line pays on shooter rolling 2 or 3 on come out roll. You'd lose if he rolled a 7. Pass Line wins if shooter rolls a 7 on come out roll.

Second roll was a 7?

You'd have bet Don't Pass before your brother ever rolled the dice for a second roll 7 to win the Don't Pass

Bets after the shooter's first come out roll are usually Come/Don't Come bets.

If you made a Don't Come bet instead of a Don't Pass (Dealer was confused from your illegal play and considered it a Don't Come bet.) You'd still lose if a 7 were rolled second. So that doesn't make sense.

If your first bet was after your brother rolled once. The only way you'd win with him rolling a 7 on his second roll would be to play a SEVEN bet. Which would be an even bigger dick move than Don't Pass because it's a one turn bet that your brother was going to roll a 7.

I guess most likely you played the don't pass before your brother ever rolled

But if that was all we used it for, the price of gold would be a tine fraction of what it is

That's intrinsic value.

Gold and diamonds have intrinsic value

Gold is needed for computer parts, and diamonds are used for cutting

They are more than just shiny

Their value will "never" hit 0 (Bitcoin would be worthless without gold for computers)

Yes, we could find substitutes in the future, but for the substances to not be useful somehow is so low and would have to be an apocalyptic scenario. And in an apocalypse, gold could even be worth more.

The Emergency Department contains emergency rooms

Ask any emergency doctor. They work in the ED.

Only someone that doesn't work in the ED says ER

I have under good authority this situation happened.

Man goes into ED with 🍎 in butt. Apple was removed.

Man goes into ED with 🍎 in butt. This time the 🍎 that was removed had two bites. They thought the bites would let them grab it.

If you break the bottom of a💡 the globe becomes weaker. Which is essentially what is in the picture. Probably thicker than a light bulb. I'd say it would be hard to break.

Oh there are worse methods which is the crazy part

Crucifixion is more "show" when compared to other torture/execution methods. It is horrible don't get me wrong. But its intention is not to inflict maximum pain or torture but to show maximum pain or torture to those witnessing it

Like let's just say Christians wouldn't be wearing a bull around their necks if it happened that way. And that's even a milder one.

Crucifixion is death with some torture

There are torture, torture, torture, ..., death methods

You can always add an "And then"

You could hack a futuristic firmware upgradable power knife, but how do you hack it to hack off fingers?

Aliens had the supernatural power to be the machines

A self driving tesla trapping people in a gas station is 100% more believable than the semi.

Something is there...

In a mmmbop it really is gone

It is believed they nailed through the wrists not the hands.

You could probably put a nail through your wrist and just leave it and live your life without treating it. You'd have to be unlucky and hit a large vein and your body not clot properly, the nail would help stop the blood.

It's like the myth with a bullet. First thing is not to pull it out because it will make things worse. You can live with a bullet in you.

The stabbing of the spear, to my knowledge, was for mercy so he'd not suffer as long.

I think the standard for squeeze bottles are 3cm. That's what 99% of ketchup bottles I have ever seen are.

Just measured my Kraft squeeze mayo in my fridge and it's 3cm.

I use my mini spatulas to clean my ketchup containers

Personally I don't use enough Mayo to run out before I need to replace the bottle. If I got the same size jar it would be the same thing, I'm not scraping out the last bits of months old mayo either way. Doesn't sound appealing.
