Don’t find that’s true at all. Direct language is much preferred to this bullshit.

While the IKEA mattress is fine for you or me, I really don’t think this smart mattress is actually that expensive. I believe 5k and up is still relatively common for a high quality mattress.

When you annualise it over 10 years and between two people, if they’re getting better sleep than they would have otherwise, who are we to judge how they spend their money? It’s actually not that bad in terms of value. There are nights in the summer where I would gladly pay €200 to not be sweating into the sheets.

Obviously, relying on a company for an app to control your bed is the idiotic part. But the price itself is not outrageous for me.

When a soldier did not follow orders in nazi Germany they were executed. Would you rather be executed now for treason or maybe not at all later?

Dutty bussy

Yeah but you can’t though. Like let’s be real, you have 1bn, you’re not Elon Musk or Bill Gates level - and even they would not be able to stop an angry Donald Trump

Okay, cool. Probably so do a lot of billionaires, at least from a pure pragmatic POV of them not wanting their skull cracked open. The point is that for a tiny portion of their wealth, they can insure against a lot of more realistic severe problems (unrest, riots, communism arising in the US, war, assassination, widespread famine), in addition to more extreme and less likely problems (doomsday, machine uprising, environmental collapse).

Frankly, were I a billionaire and able to see the choices Trump is making to make the average civilian in America jobless, penniless and hopeless, I would also be making a bunker in the wilderness or distant nation.

I don’t think they necessarily “prefer” it. It’s more just that they have what is an unimaginable amount of money in comparison to us, why not invest to preserve your long term survival?

They have already dealt with the normal shit the rest of us have to. They have a house, car, enough money for them and their families to never work again, to do whatever hobbies they like with no restriction.

If you are someone with a worth of a billion, this bunker development will cost something like 10m. That’s 1% of your wealth. It would be the same as the median American spending $1920 in pure relative terms, but probably would have an effect more like $500 on their real finances (again, every other need has been financially met long, long ago)

Just a reminder that Reddit was once difficult for people to understand.

To be honest though, I’m a bit disappointed by the other users here. The quality of comments is really poor, both idiotic and adversarial. I’m talking fox news comment section level.

If you haven’t tried it already, I think there’s a lot of benefit to using khan academy and Duolingo for maths.

Maths by its nature is a bit abstract, but I think that the primary issue is that it is sequentially learned for the most part in primary and secondary education. If there is ever a point that a student is struggling with a concept and the teacher/parents don’t identify it in time, the student is then faced with not understanding new concepts afterwards, and may just be left behind.

This is starkly different to other fields a student will be presented, they generally will have multiple topics that are not strictly reliant on parts learned before, and that can be relatively easily co-developed in everyday life.

So you’re bad at maths and extremely bitter about it. Ok.

Brick expensive :(

panel cheap :)

both of these were designed by architects. neither reflects the twin simplicity and laziness that engineering embodies.

It 100% is AI, this is ChatGPT’s hilariously identifiable comic style.

Virtually all of them? You think people don’t have pension funds?

What is “the technical field”? What’s your qualification? You probably will not get a working visa without one
