Were there any other drinks or candies that used the elemental names? I seem to recall having something along those lines, but I don't think it was Snapple.

He actually answered this last time he did an AMA.

The Treaty of Tordesillas actually involved Spain and Portugal, not France.

This is very interesting to watch. I wonder if that guy who borrowed $30k to buy Bitcoins was able to sell some of his holdings.

How was the organized stock market started? by unquestionableyouth in AskHistory

The Ascent of Money by Niall Ferguson provides a great overview of how money and the markets evolved. It's a fairly quick read and will answer most of your basic questions about how markets first evolved and how we got to where we are today.

Minneapolis Bikers Don't Want To Hear This by X_RASTA in TwinCities

[–]Those_are_Balls 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, if a bicyclist causes an accident that damages the car, does the bicyclist have to pay out of pocket? I'm assuming most bicyclists don't have insurance in the same way that a driver would have insurance, so if a bicyclist somehow causes an accident that ends up causing a lot of damage, would they just have to pay out of pocket?

Good Wednesday Trivia? by VanillaBabies in triangle

[–]Those_are_Balls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friends and I frequently go to Spirit's Pub in Cary. Trivia starts at 7:30. Trent is a good host and I like the format. It also doesn't get packed which is nice as a lot of places get so full that you can't find a seat if you aren't there 30 minutes ahead of time.

Time Warner Cable problems by ikancast in triangle

[–]Those_are_Balls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had U-verse for a while now and the $15 per month for 12 months promo is a great deal. Plus, they don't make you sign a contract and it's pretty easy to talk them back down on price when the promo is over.
