These things (both scooters and delivery robots) are all over my campus, too. I’m still in the “Holy shit, I can’t believe that’s a real thing” phase when I see the robots. Still haven’t ordered from one, though.

The story in itself is not all that interesting - or maybe it is to you who knows - but it reminded me of the youTube showing Bezo’s wealth as grains of rice.

Above is 1 million mosquitos.

Musk is estimated to be worth ~$218bn

Each mosquito in that pile represents ~$218,000.

Man I had not been paying attention, did not know he (or anyone) was worth that much. At first I assumed you had slipped an extra digit in there.

Can you imagine having that much wealth and not just stopping whatever else you’re doing to dedicate yourself to helping people? My lord the amount of good you could do.

Some billionaires have had a particularly good pandemic, even by the standards of their peers. The wealth of Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk increased by around 1,000%, to a current value of around $270 billion.

This should take car of it.

Dem candidate for House (lost to Inhoffe in last senate election) got drunk at a tween’s sleepover, cursed out the kids with racially tinged language, puked on a girl’s shoes and into a laundry hamper, then denied it when asked by journalists and threatened to sue.

(She totally did it and now says it’s because she mixed anxiety meds with wine).
