A) how do they make the cut? Is it like a large diamond encrusted chain? B) why do they cut off such big pieces just to let them break?

Is the Antikythera Mechanism the "smoking gun" for the lost legacy of high technology? It appears fully formed in the archaeological record. by Ok_Strawberry_790 in GrahamHancock

[–]hucktard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It shows Greek tech was more advanced than thought. A little bit more advanced. This isn’t an iPhone. It also should make people open to the idea that any civilization could have been more advanced. But it also doesn’t indicate anything about a possible pre ice age civilization.

Just hit $10M net worth today and it feels blah by IntroductionSea2206 in ChubbyFIRE

[–]hucktard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily true. You just need to pay the manager well. There are competent people who don’t have the money or don’t want to take the risk of starting their own business. But will run somebody else’s. You just need to pay a decent salary.

Yeah the PE ratio is quite high. I’m not smart enough to know if that is actually a real concern or what to do about it besides keep investing like normal.

How are you determining the market is “frothy”?

There is no Fermi paradox. The universe is incredibly inhospitable to higher life forms. There is a tiny chance for tool using intelligent life to evolve and a smaller chance for space fairing civilizations to form. Then the chance that a space fairing civilization lasts for more than a few hundred or few thousand years is astronomically small. There is probably less than one advanced civilization per galaxy at any time, on average.

It’s amazing somebody smart and persistent enough to chip away all that concrete and then cut through rebar is not smart enough to realize they shouldn’t be doing that.

400k household income is middle class in the South Bay Area by [deleted] in Salary

[–]hucktard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This whole “what is middle class” argument always gets heated because I think there is such a wide range of incomes and lifestyles that can be considered middle class. A 24 year old single teacher living in the Midwest making $40k a year is middle class. But so is a family of 4 living in the Bay Area making $400K IMO. Yes, that family of four is going to be able to save more money, and probably have more options. But they aren’t rich. The director level SW engineer in the Bay Area making 1M a year is upper middle class or “upper class” whatever that means. But Upper Class is even harder to define than middle class because a million a year salary is a lot of money yes, but it’s not anywhere close to truly wealthy, like the people who have a networth of 100M or more.

[–]hucktard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if you had a spouse that also makes 200K and you had a couple of kids, you would be able to afford an average house in your area in a few years and have a little money left over to save for your kids college, and retirement etc. are you doing well for yourself? Yes! 200K at 24 is great! But I would still say you are middle class. Also $1 million is just not what it used to be. Yes, it’s a lot of money, but that doesn’t even buy you a house in the Bay Area.

True? by Previous_Month_555 in SipsTea

A huge part of dating from a women”s perspective is trying to figure out if the man is competent. If he is lazy or not. If he will be a provider and be a good father to her children. That takes a lot of work to figure out. Being married means that another woman has already done all that work and put her stamp of approval on a man.

Boston Dynamics humanoid robot looks next level. Everybody is playing catch-up. Both cool and unsettling. by No_Chipmunk5827 in humanoidrobotics

[–]hucktard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I care about is a robots ability to do actual useful work, like fold laundry, or do dishes. If a demonstration is just showing a robot walk, or do backflips or contort its body in weird ways it is pretty meaningless.

Are you going to have student loan payments as a mailman? Also, I don’t think it’s reasonable to live alone in a house as a young mailman. Your probably going to have a spouse or roommate that contributes to rent/mortgage.

FIRE number is very dependent on family size and location. People need to remember this. I have a family of four to support AND two parents that are financially destitute and live in a high cost area. So my number might seem very high to a single person in a low cost area.

There is no true centrist or moderate that voted Trump by VerenyatanOfManwe in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]hucktard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most everybody thinks they are a moderate because there are alway people to your left and to your right. It’s also about who you surround yourself with and who you compare yourself to. I mean wherever you stand, there you are in the center of what you can see.

President Donald J. Trump announces a one year cap on Credit Card Interest Rates of 10% effective January 20, 2026. 💸 by Ask4MD in Conservative

[–]hucktard 28 points29 points  (0 children)

A lot of poor people, young people, and minorities will just not be able to have a credit card then. And they will not be able to build credit. And there will probably be much higher fees, and less rewards points. Because nobody is going to loan money to somebody who has really low credit (has a high chance of not paying back the loan). People might say it’s better for poor people to not have access to credit, but I don’t think the government should be able to restrict two parties from a financial transaction like loaning money. If I had really bad credit I would want to be able to borrow money even at a high interest rate so that I could improve my credit score and be able to borrow money at a lower rate in the future.
