    Wait, seriously? I get that you can open a can with a knife, and I've definitely used some of the weird points on a swiss army knife to do so.... but the can opener is easier. If you have one, why wouldn't you go for it?

    Honestly, once you get a feel for it, and if the can is a larger size, it's just like 20 punches down in a circle. Looks like a shark tried to eat its way into the can, but it doesn't take much longer than using a can opener. A can opener is just easier on the user.

      Destroying your cell phone battery to make a fire. So you're in an emergency and you just gave up your method of communication as a one-shot lighter. Hope your kindling isn't wet, and your phone battery isn't too low on charge.

        The "carrot in a box" games he played with Jon Richardson on 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown are some of my favourite TV ever...

          Theres also a difference between dropping out of somewhere like Harvard and a back water university.

          There's also a difference between dropping out of university because you have an idea you have to dedicate all your time to right now or someone else may beat you to it and dropping out to manage a Wendy's or hawk "the new big thing"

              While true, I'm betting those coppers will have more urgent worries.

              Nah. The federal government (in the US at least) shuts down all the freaking time.

                I thought it was ridiculous to make your own air conditioner out of cheap materials, but apparently it's actually quite cool.

                If your freezer is in the same room as the ice you get from the freezer, this just warms your house more...

                Yes but... If your house keeps returning to the outside temperature, then you are moving a lot of heat in a smaller area you occupy to a larger area that you don't.

                  Call the local sheriff's department and have you evicted. The federal government doesn't do that stuff.

                    I think in almost all of those cases they were rich to begin with. I mean fair play they're a lot richer now than when they started, but still.

                    This is something important everyone forgets, the majority of those "self-made" billionaires started out as multi-millionaires.

                          I am more amazed this is already AI-supported. Like, actual AI or just speech recognition?

                            I’m really not sure what it is. It works surprisingly well and quickly which makes me think it’s more likely some kind of mechanical turk thing than ai, but when you drive up you talk to what’s clearly some kind of tts thing that pushes all the upselling stuff. The upselling is annoying and you have to practically shout no at it multiple times, but it does get the order right just from natural speech.

                                We're dicking around in a comment chain about squatting in your house during the fall of the federal government. What you're referring to is a "joke"

                                  "Fake it til you make it" is just self gaslighting and makes the world a less honest place
