  • I remember buying a car in 2005 and considering if I should buy a hybrid or not. I did the calculations on how long it would take to break even upgrading to a hybrid - taking into account the price of gas at the time.

    I remember thinking “yeah gas is $2 a gallon now, but there’s NO WAY it stays that high over the life of the vehicle.”


  • I feel like a jackass. I built my son’s PC with 32 GBs of RAM a couple years ago. My buddy built a new PC and gave me his old 32 GBs, which was the exact same brand and spec of the RAM in my son’s PC.

    I tried putting in the new RAM but got a boot error immediately. Rather than taking the time to troubleshoot properly and get it working, I just pulled it out and threw it away. I was like “meh, RAM is cheap and always getting cheaper. If I want to upgrade later, I’ll just buy more.”


  • That brought up an angry memory when Obamacare was first being debated. They were floating the idea of universal healthcare and the Republican propaganda machine came out in full force. There was something on Fox News that said something like “a study by the Congressional Budget Office shows over the next decade, universal healthcare would cost $7 trillion”.

    But then neglected to mention the same survey showed NOT implementing universal healthcare would cost something like $17 trillion. Fucking scumbags.
