Today I learned that those cheapo green lasers are ridiculously dangerous. They use an IR source that's stepped down to green but they don't bother filtering out the IR to save on costs. That means if you got regular green-filtering glasses and think you're safe because you can't see anything, it can still be roasting your retinas and causing permanent damage. Bonus prize: the IR output can be 10x the visible output because the specs are bullshit lies

You know, more than a significant chunk of Americans make in a year. Oh boo hoo, poor them, they might have to sell one of their yachts.

Ive been reading a few books on investment. (Australia) They typically start off with, 'The median income of $75,000' In the work i do, no one is pulling 75k. Top dog is maybe getting 70, underlings all hitting 52k at best. (Most are lucky to hit 35k due to the way poo poo rolls.) Then you look at retail. Top dog is netting 60k if they're lucky. Underlings pushing 30-40k if they're full time. One of the books then went on how the author saved 32k in a year by not going out to dinner and flipping some poo poo on ebay. She then tells people, to - get another job - get another job, but it isnt a job because its ubering or worktasking. Rent out your house when you go on holiday. Rent out your rooms in the house you obviously own. 32k is more than what some families are making with part-time work. And in the end she put her 32k saved into shares so that she make 1,700 a year passive income. (So more than 16 years in order to break even assuming you dont lose money on shares because the charts show you never ever lose money on shares.)

People in the media like to constantly say median household income instead of the much more depressing median individual income. They'll also say per capita GDP instead of per worker GDP.

An Australian group imported forty‐two green LASER pointers. All claimed to radiate < 1 mW. Two were stopped by customs, one of which was destroyed and one of which was sent on. Of the forty‐one they received, all but one was had output greater than one milliwatt. The one that didn’t was the most expensive model in the study.

Megillah Gorilla posted:What happens is a naval vessel gets a distress call from a refugee boat while patrolling in international waters. They radio back to HQ and get ordered to turn around and return to Australian waters. I really, really hope there's some Australian Naval Lieutenant Commander or Commander, someone who has a high enough rank and enough responsibility to do it putting together a litany of what's going on that he's going to deliver to a bunch of lawyers the day he retires to Belize or Brazil or something. Or just go to court for it, good luck getting a jury to convict that. Just crack the whole loving thing wide open. A man can dream.

A lot of guitar makers do this too - they basically take standard line guitars and 'carefully distress' them (leave them on the factory roof for a couple of weeks) so you too can pretend to own a 59 strat, and pay a poo poo ton extra for the privilege of buying a busted rear end looking instrument

You'd have to spend $7K every day for 40 years to blow through $100 million. To anyone with a lick of sense that'd be infinite money, but I guess it doesn't last long when your hobby is buying castles or owning yachts that are impractical even by exorbitant yacht standards.

One of the reasons Johnny Depp is going bankrupt despite being one of the highest-paid actors in the world is that he routinely drinks $1,000 worth of wine every day.

I realize after the fact that I should have phrased that differently. He routinely spends a thousand dollars on wine a day. I don’t believe there’s any amount of wine a person can drink in a day that’s actually worth a thousand dollars.

I'd like to remind everyone even professional wine tasters can barely tell apart red wine and lukewarm white wine with food coloring. Like I'm sure a 1000$ bottle beats the cheapest box wine on the shelf, but you don't spend that that much for the taste. I'm just not sure if the luxury-lifestyle people are morons because they actually think they are getting their money's worth or because they passively allow the world to fleece them for thousands of dollars a day simply by never bothering to look at the price tag. The idea you get rich by being careful with money is some amazing bullshit either way, and people still parrot it for some insane reason
