  • Exactly, they were taking reservations at the $40k price for a really long time. I was looking to buy an EV in 2021 and at that price, it was significantly cheaper than anything being sold. I laughed at how fucking ugly the thing was, but it was so cheap that I didn’t hesitate to put down a reservation.

    Then when it was released, it was like $100k. Ain’t no way am I paying that for that piece of shit. And in the meantime, Elon went full on Nazi. I could kind of ignore his dumbfuckery back in 2021 but not now.









  • I had a cowoker who used to mine bitcoins back then. He said that it was a fun hobby but when he was moving to California he didn’t think he would be able to make enough money to justify the higher electrical bill.

    He was making about $60 a month farming Bitcoin, when it was $0.30 a piece. Had he kept just a month’s worth of that, it would be worth $20.5 million dollars.

As fate would have it, they had the baby on April Fool’s Day. My dad was on vacation in Hawaii at the time, so my brother called him to let him know he was a grandparent. Awkward…
