@ClimbingCoachX @crentist_dds In comparison with Seatac, which is by far, the worst security wait in the country in my experience. Admittedly the bar is ultra low; that wasn't an endorsement.

@hafta_fly @Polandish3 @ClimbingCoachX How? Do you only wear one change of clothes for a whole week?

We need carryons that are like the Tardis. Bigger on the inside.

[Durango @Durango4571]

@crentist_dds @ClimbingCoachX Depends highly on the airport. Eg. Den is fine. Seatac is a nightmare and even with precheck you can wait upwards of 50mins on a non-holiday regular weekday.

@1teslasmuse @markdpace In Iceland (and i assume alaska) little kids walk to school in the dark the whole winter long and its somehow not a problem?

@phexus01 @TravisTraction @wolfsxblood24 Fair enough. I did like a sub from time to time. Mild bummer.

@more_water_now @LFauexProd Spider Noir in B&W is gorgeous btw.

@aakashgupta Question for the attorneys in the group: if you worked in the general counsel's office of openai and all this landed on your doorstep, could you just say "aww hell no" and quit? Or would you get disbarred for that?

[Durango @Durango4571]

@LR3012 @fionagoddarduk Oh south asian! So like Thailand and Laos! Both gorgeous countries. Good startups there too, btw.

@MikeBales Maryland driver behavior. It's even illegal there and it seems they all still do it. Yes, it's raining. Stop being dramatic.

[Durango @Durango4571]

@TravisTraction @wolfsxblood24 Are you kidding that was decades ago and we all remember it. Talk about effective.

@BackCountryID @Milajoy That's because if it was a clear photo it would be of a balloon or whatever.

@peterrhague I'm also interested in being able to plug directly into an airplane or other vehicle interface, Cyberpunk RPG style, and fly/drive it. Could feed sensor data straight to your brain, giving lightning fast reaction times, etc.

@ZackKorman This is why we can't have nice things.

[Durango @Durango4571]

@Nick_Davidov Gosh if that's true you're not looking very hard, even in CA

@DOGEQEEN Can't tell if her post is real, or 3rd level sarcasm, or engagement farming.

[Durango @Durango4571]

I'm not trying to be a dick here I'm trying say it in a way that people maybe not familiar with how finance works can understand (you're clearly more familiar). If you run a company and you need money, one way you can get it is to sell part of the company. If you took a loan instead, you'd have to pay it back, right? But by issuing stock you get money in exchange for allowing people outside your company to own some. This is bad in a number of ways for control but is worth it to get rolling with factories, buildings or whatever. When you can finally start paying off that expenditure, what in God's living hell is unethical about buying your company back, (in effect, paying off your "loan" from the public, for the uninitiated). Buybacks being bad are a lie. Bernie Sanders is a multimillionaire and not stupid, and he knows how it works. He's using the financial naivete of his followers for political gain.

[Durango @Durango4571]

@farzyness Worse, Bernie is a multimillionaire, I'm sure he understands fine but is taking advantage of the financial illiteracy of his audience for political gain.

[Durango @Durango4571]

See my other reply for a more finely tuned answer, I'm trying to keep it in terms people who think stock buybacks are somehow unethical can understand. It's selling part of the company in exchange for money you don't have to pay back right away like a loan or a bond. Saying you can't pay back this "loan" is epically retarded. Why ever sell stock at all.
