Did you know that Captain Planet was straight up created to be pro environmentalist and anti-oil propaganda?

>Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996) was a pioneering animated series designed by Ted Turner and producer Barbara Pyle as environmental, pro-social "edutainment" to influence children towards ecological activism. It aimed to combat pollution and encourage environmental stewardship, often using over-the-top, stereotypical villains to represent corporate greed and ecological destruction.

Our parents let us get brainwashed by hippies and corporations as kids haha

Yeah basically every single academic and economist knows the Chinese government lies about its GDP numbers and pumps out fake stats. Its the Chinese way.

yes, that is correct.

most people are long on silver and gold. who cares if there was a slight correction.

I bought the bulk of my silver in the $20-30 range and am still buying. I bought on the way up, I bought at $120, I'll buy at $85. The price at the time I buy really doesnt matter to me. Only when I sell will it matter.

I hope to cash out and buy ~150 acres of land with it to hunt on and live on.

counter argument, its okay because its a clanker

There are plenty of stocks, REITs, or ETFs that offer such returns.

Me, personally, I'd dump it into $O aka Realty Income or JEPI or JEPQ.

If you are risk adverse, just park it in VOO or SCHD.

why even bother commenting if you didnt even read the article. You just spewed out a bunch of bullshit nonsense of nothing that happened lol

I'd gladly take such a payout.

Split 2 ways, that is still 300k.

Parked in an investment at 5% a year, that's an easy +$15,000/year for the rest of your life.

Alternatively, I checked 3-4 20k mAh powerbanks in my luggage on my flight to Utah and it never got flagged or detected.

yes but the spring in the magazine does.

also the rails on the lower, the barrel, etc.

Correct. In the US, the TSA is just a government jobs program for the lowly skilled or unskilled. It's all security theater.

TSA Chief Out After Agents Fail 95 Percent of Airport Breach Tests

"In one case, an alarm sounded, but even during a pat-down, the screening officer failed to detect a fake plastic explosive taped to an undercover agent's back. In all, so-called "Red Teams" of Homeland Security agents posing as passengers were able get weapons past TSA agents in 67 out of 70 tests — a 95 percent failure rate, according to agency officials."

>stopping the local drug-gangs from shooting their brains out.

Thats a good thing tho, its the problem(s) solving themselves.

It 100% is if you live in or operate in a high crime area known for vehicle break-ins. Like OP of the comment.

silly goose, everyone knows you have to use fresh lemon juice on motherboards and ssds. the electrolytes from the lemon help speed up and cleanse the circuitry.

imo the Apple that we all grew to love or hate, died when Jobs died. Its been nothing but a shell of itself since.

why doesn't HN have a dark mode feature?

My local HVAC guy joked with me that the next Bezos/Musk billionaire type is going to be the guy who runs an HVAC company in Europe.

I'm not sure how true it is or not but I heard that TSMC has the ability to remotely destroy all of their main fab equipment in the event the Chinese are invading Taiwan.

The T really ties the word together man

nah just sink them instead imo. they arent worth much.

yup. RU will literally wait decades and then send their lil KGB/GRU agents all around the world to assassinate you, chop you up, or poison you. they play the long game and never forget.

no thanks

Is anyone really getting into trouble growing Vidalia onions not in Georgia?

Like if I plant some in my yard and start selling them online or at the local farmers market, what is anyone really going to do?

Seems kinda weird they have a government granted monopoly on them.

They had to disable port forwarding due to abuse and spam iirc.

Surely you can link me to the exact "planted" images you are talking about...

who planted them?

yeah their code of ethics is to laugh all the way to the bank and be untouchable. nothing will happen to them from YC.

wait is there more than one mod on HN? I for some reason have always thought it was just that @dang guy as the only one. Is he just the top mod and there are others underneath him?

Its easily worth it as they are not spending any money on compute or power.

If they can enslave 100s or even 1000s of machine mining XMR for them, easy money if you set aside the legality of it.

>Let's be serious, nobody is gonna run Tor on an old SGI workstation or Itanium server.

dont temp me with a good time and awesome weekend project!

a random interesting fact:

North Korea is responsible for adding the hot beverage, umbrella with raindrops, and lightning bolt emojis
