this is the face of a woman whose fiance just responded to her suggestion that you can't raise kids in a welive with "unless you have a welive for kids between the ages of 4 and 12"



e: that video has the guy eating tuna at his desk while the girl beside him gives the "really?" face

That video always cracks me up, she drops so many hints at the end of the video but her libertarian tech bro fiance just doesn't get it.

As a fun fact their welive in DC actually isn't in DC, it's in crystal city. I have to walk by it everytime I go visit a friend in that part of town, it looks like the building from the movie raid redemption.

The problem, as Fishmech pointed out with the San Fran to Portland example, is the US as a whole is pretty spread out. A few corridors, like Boston to DC, are dense enough to support it. Once you get west of the Mississippi, the density of the US plummets HARD until you get across the Sierras, making any HSR implementations worthless.

Did they ever try blockchain?

tldr: it's mostly large companies that would have done business here anyway benefiting and there's no oversight to ensure they're actually generating any additional economic activity.

But if we don't give them billions of dollars as an incentive they might not choose us.

Rent: $825

Klee lives in a shared house with four roommates and one dog. Although he says he could technically afford a studio apartment, which go for roughly $1,400-$2,000 a month in Cambridge, he prefers to save and invest the extra cash instead.

"I like my rent to be at a number where it doesn't actually matter to me each month," he says.

Groceries: $400

Klee eats the majority of his meals at home and typically buys his groceries from Trader Joe's, a chain known for its reasonable prices.

I was wondering why he was paying so little on rent and paying so much for groceries. Still doesn't explain how he's spending so much on groceries for just 1 person.

Someone should do a followup interview with the guy who said he wanted to raise his family in a welive and his fiancee who looked like she was having 2nd thoughts when he said that. I wonder if they are still together.

capcom is releasing a mini console

- it’s a giant ugly fight stick shaped like a CAPCOM logo
- it contains CPS2 games, but not the fighters people want to play
- it uses Sanwa arcade parts but you can’t use it as a fight stick
- its emulation code is stolen from Final Burn Alpha, and this is the first any of them have heard of it

It's also $300 lmfao.
