- my local pub just raised the price on a pint of Golden from $4 to $6. - My barber just jacked up her price from $15 to $20 for a men’s haircut - A local lunch buffet just raised their price from $9 to $10. I know that it’s absurd to extrapolate inflationary trends from local price...

I would take two chairs, swing one leg over each, and air it out.

NFLX has a shallow “moat,” as Mr Buffet puts it. DIS, AAPL, and other titans are storming the castle. Their revenue is all consumer market too—and consumers are flaky as a croissant. Nothing to stop 20% or more of their customers from canceling their subscriptions tomorrow. 138B market cap...

That would have to be a big blast of energy.

I bet I could kill a rat with enough 4G/5G energy.

This is perhaps best called a “thin client” laptop. Aka a “diskless client,” or for politically incorrect, a “dumb terminal.” Typically a desktop monitor, keyboard, and mouse that boots from the network server. You stumped me on this one! I can’t find a thin client with a laptop form factor...

With amps on 11, what is the effect on carbon-based life forms? Of course, during normal and safe operation, radio waves are kept within safe ranges, but what if a tower got hacked and they crank the power? Short-term effects? Sunburn-like or other radiation burns? Ear/eye problems...
