That's how much the US was spending in Afghanistan per day. Every single day. For twenty years.

Her money was pocketed by private insurance companies. Blame them, not a poor country that's under attack. US has way more than enough money to feed and house everyone, even if they quadruple the spending on Ukraine.

I doubt if full self driving will become available within the next few decades. Tesla should call it what it is, advanced cruise control.

I don't see the point of this whole charade, rebranding, slow death. Why not just buy it and close all servers if that's their goal?

He doesn't have money.

Here's a good comparison I've found: let's say you have a company and issue one million shares. You sell just a single one for $1. Now "technically" you own $999,999 worth of shares, even though you actually have one dollar.

His Tesla and SpaceX shares are worth a lot, but they're not cash. If he started selling huge amounts, then the value would drop rapidly.

I could feel that I was going out as I counted. It felt as if I slowly lifted an inch above the operating table and rested on a fluffy white cloud. I could feel them inserting catheter and needles but it didn't hurt even a bit, if anything it tickled. Last sight was the grumpy face of this fridge-sized bald anesthesiologist.

Woke up a second later in Intensive Care unit, surprisingly well rested.

By the way, there was no tube in my mouth. They just put a mask on and it smelled sweet.

There is no perfect system, textbook wonderland communism has lots of flaws too. In my ideal world it should be a mix of everything. Communal gardens or hobby workshops are great, communal workplaces not so much. I mean, people should be allowed to get rich if they can do it without abusing others. You should be able to start and grow your company, and get paid for it accordingly.

Wanting all of that but without the authoritarian bit should be called something else. I'm from a country which was occupied by communists (collective ownership was a thing) and it sucked big time.

That's the joke, yes.

I'm excited to see how people will blame Egypt for this.
