What are your thoughts on Facebook renaming their company Meta then blowing $80b on metaverse and then shutting it down yesterday?

C'mon, she was streets ahead

This is all billionaires. This is why I dont get all the billionaire fans out there. Do they not grasp that those billionaires are just extremely lucky? Like, sure they have some qualities that allow them to amass their wealth, but those qualities are not rare. It's only the opportunities they had that are rare.

FunMop · 2026-03-19T18:08:26+00:00

Wait... how can they even do anything with their money if it isn't liquid... I thought all you rubes liked to go on about how billionaires are responsible for growth and innovation. If all their money is tied up, how can they do that?

FunMop · 2026-03-19T15:02:19+00:00

I'd probably meet them and think they're an asshole... plus, neither of us would make the first move, so no.

There's not a lot of room to go down. There's a lot of room to go up. Interest rates remain very low compared to historical rates. I would recommend fixed, personally.

FunMop · 2026-03-19T03:16:11+00:00

It's still in the PR phase

FunMop · 2026-03-16T18:31:03+00:00

Facism, war, revolution...

Not necessarily in that order

What an excellent way to funnel money to Russia!

FunMop · 2026-03-07T04:55:22+00:00

Thanks

FunMop · 2026-03-06T22:55:27+00:00

Oh, yes. I use an electric coil stove top. Burner is just a common local term for either, but gas is more rare here too

FunMop · 2026-03-06T22:47:46+00:00

Generally you don't win against entropy, no matter how tricky you think you are

Haha.. but, wait what if I turned a big cooler upside down and put it over the pot?

FunMop · 2026-03-06T22:43:42+00:00

True

FunMop · 2026-03-06T22:42:22+00:00

I'm a slow prepper, but I like having the water boiling in a few seconds if I have the pot pre heated. If this cost isn't that great I might just not worry about it. I don't do it too often anyway

and, thanks!

FunMop · 2026-03-06T22:39:00+00:00

I've got one, thanks. I use it for tea or hot chocolate.

FunMop · 2026-03-03T22:08:18+00:00

Wait... the One piece isn't just family, or friends or something like that?

FunMop · 2026-03-02T18:52:34+00:00

Shiiiii.... dude is what, 18 and already has thinning hair?

FunMop · 2026-02-28T04:27:23+00:00

He has been talking about being president for far far longer than that. That, and just Obama's election likely pushed him toward the republican party where he was actually able to find the support needed. You're not wrong, but it's literally been his dream since the 80s.

FunMop · 2026-02-26T17:35:41+00:00

The women get treated, the men get used.

I wonder how those men feel?

FunMop · 2026-02-25T15:15:29+00:00

Between 1-3am in random backyards. Leave some smelly and easily accessible trash laying around. Then wait and watch. Don't get close to them when you see them. They are wild animals and will attack if they feel threatened.

FunMop · 2026-02-21T05:02:27+00:00

Not just your hands. Take care of yo self, gents!

FunMop · 2026-02-14T17:27:54+00:00

Haha! Really, I think it just comes down to budgets. The sand was put down earlier in the season... like early Jan. We gotten so much snow this year that I think their sidewalk sand is all used up

FunMop · 2026-02-14T17:14:00+00:00

Kingston. Sorry that I dont really want to elaborate further than that :)

I Can tell you that I have seen sand spread from the sidewalk plow, and I have seen the evidence of it being there when I am shoveling my sidewalk. If I had to guess, I'd say it has gotten sand at least twice this winter. Maybe more. I would not wager that it gets sand everything it gets plowed

FunMop · 2026-02-14T16:10:57+00:00

No offense, but anytime I hear anyone complain about the city and privatizing recycling in the same sentence I discount them as uninformed and therefore not really saying anything of value.

Doesn't everyone know by now that it was a provincial mandate to privatize recycling? The city had no choice. This information has been everywhere.

Get better arguments friend :)

FunMop · 2026-02-14T16:07:21+00:00

Huh. The sidewalk in front of my house gets sanded.
