If they ever perfect a time machine, I'm going back in time to the 1800s and deposit a hundred dollars into a bank account. I'm then going to travel forward in time to the year you were born and offer your parents all the money from the account to prank you in some manner every week from age two until you graduate high school.

Where are you going to get the hundred dollars? I doubt they'd take 2015 money.

I wish I could find it online, but there was an episode where they did this game with some really uncomfortable dentistry footage. Everybody started freaking out when they showed people getting novacaine injections, and they had to stop the game early when they started showing bloody clips of people having their teeth drilled and removed.

It was season 9 episode 7 of the American show, if anybody here cares enough to go pirate it themselves.

Election schadenfreude: small Texas city votes against adding fluoride to the water, upholds stereotype that rednecks have bad teeth:
http://www.statesman.com/news/news/local/early-returns-show-san-marcos-favors-anti-flouride/ :q:

Fluoride is a naturally occurring element in water, and part of what happens with fluoridation is making sure drinking water has the right level of the stuff. Sometimes this means adding it in, sometimes it means taking it out. Texas happens to be naturally high in flouride, so most likely they're ending up with more of it than before.

quote:

The history of fluoridation in the United States underlines its unique standing as a public health measure copied from a natural phenomenon. In the early 1900s, Dr. Frederick S. McKay began an almost 30-year search for the cause of the staining of teeth that was prevalent in Colorado, where he practiced dentistry. In his investigation, McKay found the condition common in other states, including Texas, where it was known as "Texas teeth." In 1928, he concluded that such teeth, although stained, showed "a singular absence of decay," and that both the staining and the decay resistance were caused by something in the water. In 1931, the "something" was identified as fluoride.

Microsoft was losing money on each Xbox sold, the only way a Steambox could be subsidized like that is if Valve produced them directly or they gave a cut of whatever was bought on them to the manufacturer.

That's not just Microsoft, it's the industry standard to sell your consoles at a loss. Whenever the cost to make them goes down then that means it's time to cut the price and get back to losing money on each unit.

My understanding of what happened here is this: It's pretty common for people with fancy/expensive cars to park well away from other cars to avoid having their car damaged by stray doors bumping into them, fender benders while parking, etc. Others see the expensive cars all by themselves off in the distance, and will deliberately park close to that car in order to antagonize the owner of the expensive car. It's a passive-aggressive thing to just mess with the perceived rear end in a top hat who is worried that their car will be harmed. The prank is set up to hopefully catch someone doing this and call attention to it.

So you mean I can annoy wealthy people by parking next to them in my shitbox 90s Subaru? I'll have to remember that.

I guess maybe technically not if you're only counting their salary, but once you hit a certain point you stop worrying about things like "take home pay" because it just means you're going to have to pay income taxes on it. Subjunctive's point is that $2 million is a pittance to some people, which is absolutely true.

e: hell, when you're talking about people like Bill Gates or Carlos slim, it's less than a pittance. $2 million is a rounding error for them.

These guys have money to throw around, but they're still very protective about it. That's why the rich are rich and the not so rich are not so rich.

They're protective about it, but that's more out of sheer greed rather than any worry about spending away their fortune. Once you get to that level of wealth, it's a challenge in and of itself to give it away faster than it accumulates. Jon Huntsman Sr. Has a net worth of around $1 billion, and throughout his life he's given almost twice that to charity. Whenever his cash reserves dry up he just starts borrowing money so he can give it away, because he knows he doesn't have to do anything to get it back. He's even vowed to die broke, but in spite of that, he's still going strong.

The normal rules concerning money that you or I have to follow do not apply to the global elite.

A few people are saying the flash sales are gone because people have been abusing the refund system by buying games while they're on sale for extra cheap, waiting until they return to the less discounted sale price, and then asking for their money back and getting its current price in return. That seems like it'd be a really easy fix though, so I don't know if I believe it.
