wtf is the plastic wrapping on my delivered newspaper supposed to do. My paper delivered today was soaked. That must be the shittiest and most porous plastic they can use.

Say what you like about Elon Musk but one thing is for sure and certain the man is a genius.



n December 2016 Elon Musk spent $300 million to dig a massive tunnel underground.
Wall Street called it a publicity stunt.
Now it's worth over $100 billion.
Here's the insane story of The Boring Company,
Elon Musk's future underground solution to solve traffic situation forever,
why cities globally are desperate to buy it
(and how it could eliminate traffic jams forever):

Let's start with a tweet.
In December 2016, Elon Musk was stuck in LA traffic.
Frustrated, he tweeted "Traffic is driving me nuts. Am going to build a tunnel boring machine and just start digging..."
Most thought it was a joke, but Elon wasn't kidding:
Two weeks later, The Boring Company was born.
Its mission was to build a network of underground tunnels to solve traffic congestion.
Wall Street analysts laughed. "It's a distraction," they said. "A publicity stunt."
But Musk saw something they didn't...
The tunnel boring industry hadn't innovated in decades.
Machines were slow and expensive.
Musk believed he could revolutionize the technology, making tunnels cheaper and faster to build.
His first move was to buy a used boring machine and start experimenting:
In 2017, The Boring Company raised $112.5 million.
$100 million came from Musk himself.
The rest? From selling 20,000 flamethrowers at $500 each.
Yes, flamethrowers.
Wall Street thought Musk had lost his mind. But he was just getting started...
By 2018, The Boring Company had completed its first test tunnel in Hawthorne, California.
Its cost was $10 million per mile.
Traditional tunnels? $1 billion per mile.
Musk cut costs by 99% by shrinking tunnel diameter and developing continuous tunneling technology
In 2019, The Boring Company won its first major contract:
A $48.7 million project to build a transportation system under the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Completed in 2021, it proved The Boring Company wasn't just talk.
It could deliver a real, working project
2021 was a turning point.

A man, a dog and a pig are the only survivors when a boat sinks. They manage to swim ashore to a deserted island.

A couple of months pass and the man is starting to get a little toey. In fact the pig is actually starting to look pretty good to him.

One evening he settles down next to the pig and starts to play with its ears, caress its trotters, looking to make a move. The dog gets very jealous and starts barking ferociously, then bites the man on the arm. Okay, okay. So the man backs off.

Another month passes and he decides to try again but this time he waits until the dog is asleep. He snuggles in next to the pig and starts whispering sweet nothings in its ear. The dog stirs immediately and goes ballistic. Snarling, biting, scratching at the man. Reluctantly he backs off again.

Another month passes and another passing boat sinks just offshore. A lone survivor makes it to shore - it turns out to be a beautiful woman.

"Thank God!" the man exclaims. "Can you please hold the damn dog?"

It's just wrong to put pint glasses in stubbie holders, it's just ****ed and I've always felt that way.

I find it easier not drinking from a pint glass if possible.

You prefer it in the can?

Oh, definitely not. Straight from the stubbie or its gin and soda.

Don’t do it myself but if someone else wants to keep their beer a bit cooler for longer, then good on them.

I feel like you might be of the same ultimate era

Long necks in stubby holders.

I just hate how wobbly a pint is in a stubble holder, I mean you're mostly indoors and drinking it quickly, why do you need it?

 

[arrowman]

I could get behind a double walled pint glass...

Maybe this is the wrong place for this but does anyone know where to get a decent quality mattress?

Might be obvious but anything wrong with a mattress shop?

Anyone a teacher? Probably need to look at how "student work" is assigned rather than trying to fight AI.

Take home assignments perhaps need to go for one.

I know but it's not like buying other things. There aren't really reviews and even testing them in the store is often not enough to tell if you'll like it long term. I was just wondering if anyone has one they really like and could recommend.
