Noting the vehicles driven in the tunnel are the Model Y and X, which are both equipped with a massive HEPA filter and an HVAC mode that pressurizes the passenger compartment while routing all incoming air through the filter.
This is designed to allow owners to drive through a wildfire, for example, and in testing has performed quite well.
I would love to see a video of testing the scenario discussed here. Enclosed tunnel with poor ventilation and fire safety equipment, the car in front of you catches fire, can you just sit there perfectly fine?
Did you use a grep command? The file is too large for me to open and I have not used grep before to have confidence with it.
Edit: nvm,
```
findstr /i /r ".000000000." ssn.txt
```
did the trick in powershell, with the zeros replaced with the ssn. Also there is a star after each period that HN has changed to italicize the text instead of showing it.
I understand where you're coming from but my perspective is that the two aren't directly comparable. The stimulus money came at a time of fear, and a time when people were primarily stuck inside. It was also known by all to be limited to just one or a couple of payments.
All that combined meant for those that didn't have an immediate need, it was effectively like getting a small bonus from work - putting it in savings or an investment made a lot of sense. I also know several friends that were only able to pay rent or bills because of it.
That is different than if people who need it were given a base source of income that was predictable and long term. I don't think it would just dump into savings then - it would get spent on a new car, or rent, or to pay off debts.
I don't think it matters where it gets put in terms of inflation. What we learned from the stimulus is that taken in aggregate, the population became less price sensitive because they had more money, and sellers felt the increased money supply. This allowed prices to rise. I don't see how UBI doesn't create a similar outcome, but I'm happy to review a paper or something that shows possibly how after an extended period it levels out. I'd imagine in a similar vein if you deleted overnight Social Security prices would fall because the money supply would be impacted so severely.
Recently I've been thinking it would be a fun and potentially successful challenge to start a non-alcoholic brewery. Problem is, I don't know hardly anything about brewing.
Specifically though, I have struggled with the fact that many "third places" in my city are breweries - there isn't anywhere to go if you want a large, well maintained outdoor space with seating areas, that also has food and drink options, but that isn't a restaurant looking to turn over tables.
A good NA brewing space could provide the casual "come hang out with your friends/kids" third place that a good brewery does, while catering to those looking to reduce alcohol intake or those that don't drink.
This is actually a decent idea. I have a friend that’s in the brewing space running a small local brewery and can’t do non alcoholic as it is too capital intensive at his scale. But his customers want options.
Meaning there is a decent moat and customer demand.
It seems Axiom has been focused on a suit for Artemis interior and moon operations while Collins was specifically developing one for in-orbit EVAs, which is a separate beast.
Assuming they hand full reigns to Axiom, congrats to that team! But it does seem likely this means delays, as they now have to develop an additional suit for an additional and distinct use case. Good time to be job hunting in this field, perhaps.
For those interested, Cleo Abrams recently put out a great video testing an Axiom prototype and discussing many of the design challenges being worked on with the Axiom team.
As a layman space exploration enthusiast, I'm just worried we'll treat this like the moon, where we get rid of the existing very cool and exciting thing keeping us in space, and don't replace it for a long while.
The ISS has been a beautiful international collaboration for decades and it'll be a shame to see it gone.
I'm in the same boat as you, one of the classic stories of "I mined double digit numbers of Bitcoin in the early days when it was literally worthless"... eventually wiped the hard drive that held the wallet and sold the computer without a second thought.
I'll be kicking myself for life for that, but I also have to remind myself that if I had held onto those worthless coins worth fractions of a penny, I almost certainly would have cashed out well before they were at their peak value, and spent them on a pizza or some darknet weed or something else dumb. This at least helps me cope with knowing what could have been...
