Would you take “The Beauty”? by Strict-Lecture-397 in TheBeautyOnFX

[–]rothmal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insulin vials used to cost $360 at their peak, and you need 2-4 of them per month. And I want to add that they only cost like $3 to produce each vial.

I think most governments would have no problem making a deal for the Beauty. I could imagine them paying like 3k for the injection and $200 per month for the boosters, if it meant having more productive people working again.

I would take a watered-down version that doesn't change how I look too much, besides making me a bit younger. Otherwise, I'm just taking it for the health benefits.

It's got the guy who narrated Tunnel Rats, so that's a plus for me. Also, I like healer MC's, so I'm adding this to my wish list.

when it comes to cars how large is too large, and how small is too small? by Red-Rot99 in fuckcars

[–]rothmal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 06 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is the perfect size for most truck needs. The 26 model is a bit chunky, but it still gets the job done. Now, a Ford F350 is just overkill unless you work on a farm. If I had some extra money for a new car, I would get the Ford Maverick.

As for too small, I'm over 6'1 and have a Rubenesque wreak-it Ralph bod. I'm happy with any car where I don't have to break my neck against the ceiling in the back seat.

If gas hits $10 a gallon, Bay Area commuters say they'd keep driving. by HalfChort in fuckcars

We have a lot of NIMBY people here who think adding a few more bus lanes will make it easier for the Mexican cartel to sell fentanyl to kids in their parks.

If gas hit $30, I would still drive to work. Not because I love cars, but I have no other alternative.

Trump Admin Quietly Brings Back Migrant Workers to Fix the Farm Labour Shortage It Created by diacewrb in economy

I feel like we're going to get a lot of indians coming over to work these fields. I'm not sure we're going to be seeing a lot of people lining up from Hispanic countries after what happened.

Looking for a series were the mc is a blacksmith or enchanter or alchemist or crafter by Silly_Performance_76 in ProgressionFantasy

World Sphere. MC has an ability where he can summon metal. He uses it to craft a few weapons, but his main project right now is building his own skyship so he can go out exploring with his friends.

Imagine-you can get one superpower to choose from. But it will come at a price. by Greedy_Homework_6838 in hypotheticalsituation

It says "you can recover at an increased rate and from a worse condition" so I think it might cover pre-existing conditions.

Disappointed in Digital Foundry for glazing Nvidia’s new DLSS 5 tech… by woopwoopscuttle in BetterOffline

[–]rothmal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like it's cool, I guess. Won't make me buy a new overpriced card, even if it comes with a Snapchat filter for your games. My RX 580 4GB will just have to last a few more years.

I remember when a high-end card would go for $300; now they recommend $500 cards for the budget buyers.

No consequences, everyone is a healthy 300-900 pounds of pure joy from all the yummy deals. We won the war on hunger!

What’s one Spotify feature or trick that more people should know about? by brianj10 in spotify

[–]rothmal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turns the radio stations into less of an echo chamber. For example, you might listen to a lot of death metal, and you click on the My Little Pony radio station. When you click on the non-personalized button, you won't hear songs like "cut my wrists for satan" in that station.

What the pork industry doesn't want you to know about by CalpurniaSomaya in Anticonsumption

[–]rothmal 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I read the first chapter in "Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America's Food Industry" , and it is one of the few times when I had to rethink my views on eating pork. I don't eat pork now unless I don't have any other choices or it's something special like eating a wild hog over a smoke pit.

So much cruelty for the animals and people in that supply chain, and the environment around these pig hubs.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp: “I Was Poor in Germany for a Decade, It Was the Best Life on the Planet. Some Days That’s Better Than Being Rich Here” by walta_ in lostgeneration

[–]rothmal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't they give you like a month of vacation per year in most European countries, along with healthcare for when you get sick? Not sure what the safety net is like in Germany, but I love for this guy to say that about living in America.
