Readit NewsThis would be ideal for myself.
I spend $1500/year on insurance and about $1000 in gas on a car I barely ever drive.
I am slow to get ready and leave the house as well.
If this thing could just show up at my doorstep and drive me to the grocery store and back every couple of weeks for a few dollars that would be incredible!
Plus I don't have to make smalltalk with a driver, bonus!
Not to mention the space I would save in my garage.

I find it remarkable that about half of the 14 articles that I see linked on the Bloomberg home page "above the fold" (in my browser window) are cryptocurrency-related.
Which is obviously evidence of a complete and total failure.

That's interesting - the one in Antarctica, for example, really tickles the fantasy, doesn't it.
If they were truly hiding some secret villain's lair, why wouldn't they cover their tracks by making it look like any other expanse of white snow?

Ingesting Magic Mushrooms definitely makes me feel better.
I have been micro dosing for months now and loving it.

The article lacks IMO the most gruesome tool that was used for processing penguins, the penguin press:

I took it on Kerguelen island, that's not a very good picture but you get the idea, a nice engineering detail is that the handle that turns the spiked rollers also has a blade and slices the pressed penguins into smaller slices.
Most of the time though (at least on Kerguelen) penguins were only used as fuel to render seal oil. The penguin oil itself was not used as much because it was less valuable.
Edit here's another picture of the same tool which better shows it maybe:

I wonder if any of the penguins around today have any idea what that piece of iron is.
If they have any oral history or anything of the sort...
I just had a childish thought.
Why don't we just completely trash the barrier reef and focus on saving the next reef that isn't completely trashed.
Thanks!
