Yeah, or when you're on a phone call with some customer service or tech support they're recording it for "training purposes".
💯 people are led to believe that. While deflation can certainly be caused by economic weakness (which is a bad thing), it can also be caused my productivity improvements, automation, etc (which are good things). Consumer electronics is a perfect country example to the notion that when things get cheaper people stop buying things.
The other mentality I see is people say it's "too late" because they believe the 10x or 100x gains are a thing of the past. Many will dispute this of course, but even assuming this is true what the hell is wrong with 2x or 3x over the course of a handful of years?
How else will they enforce their monopoly on currency if not through cap gains on spending?
Seriously? Who started calling it "bits" and why do we need this? Sats has already been well established and works fine.
I sometimes tersely stop them and say "it's a yes or no question".
Wrong. Hockey. Nothing beats the NHL playoffs.
I know, your response is "tell me you're Canadian without telling me you're Canadian". 😂
Still haven't played that one yet, but I absolutely loved Outer Wilds by Annapurna Interactive, so Talos was recommended to me.
What's weird is that my messed up brain read "LLM"s as "MLMs" and it was way funnier the implication that multi-level marketers are not human.
One of the most incredible games I've ever seen.
Holy crap, Winnipeg Jets. What a comeback!
Agreed. They call the election before polls close in the west and wonder why we're alienated out here, it's just a microcosm for the country.
I was at a work conference about 7 years ago in Toronto, and over lunch I was talking with my colleagues from Ontario. I mentioned that I know several people that, to this day, won't fuel up at Petro-Canada because of Trudeau Sr and the National Energy Program. It blew their minds.
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.
I saw this article the other day. It's an interesting idea, not saying I'm sold, but it's interesting. I very much like the DIY part of it.

Nice. My kids are older now so we did the same except with cash (before I knew about Bitcoin). Best part is you can reuse the plastic eggs every year and you're not pumping them full of too much chocolate.
Interesting. Perhaps the reason they use deaths per mile prevalent is to normalize the data? I could see one problem with a deaths per hour metric being that travel by bus or car would take roughly 7 times as long to get to a given destination. I dunno, I suppose it's more nuanced so thanks for the info. Personally I wish there were more rail lines in North America.
