A lot of their success seems to be recognising an opportunity before anyone else

Pretty much everyone in the world has at some point in their lives had some idea or spotted some gap in the market that could be a successful product, but 99% of us don't get to act on that because the rent is due and will be due again next month.

The tweet was specifically talking about their $299 card that also has a 16Gb version. OP is shitstirring for clicks.

Yeah, kind of my point was that y'all are viewing it as a "field trip", which is typically a specific event that's infrequent, carefully organized and supervised, which is a whole different beast to the generic standing instructions of "we're not going to supervise your kids if they wander off school grounds" slip.

For the former case it's pretty much understood that everyone in class should be able to join a field trip, but for the latter it's not unusual for parents to decline and therefore teachers would absolutely be expected to enforce the rules.

I’m struggling to find a source that defines “frying” as anything other than cooking in hot oil.

What makes this even more batshit insane is that they're currently pressuring the UK and EU to lift their ban on US chicken; a ban which only exists because of the already poor food safety standards of the US meat industry.

A lot of people think of "venomous" as being a one-dimensional property like strength or speed that you have to build your way up towards. But really it's just how this substance your body produces that reacts with another substance in another creature who evolved on a whole other continent to you.

There doesn't need to be a strong evolutionary imperative to be able to kill a herd of elephants, it's enough for there to not be a strong disincentive not to produce enough venom to do it.

Yes. That's literally the only reason why you would do it.

Don’t talk about ability to draw as though it’s some sort of elitist trait denied to the working class. People who can draw can do so because they put the hours in.

If you can’t be bothered putting the effort in when expressing yourself, why the hell should anyone else be interested in what you have to say?

It was created by an Elon Musk superfan who identified himself to ARTnews as a French tech entrepreneur under the pseudonym “Louis XXII."

Imagine sucking so bad it makes the news.

Reminder that after setting the political stage for the Khmer Rouge to take power with the carpet-bombing of Cambodia, the US Government continued to recognize Pol Pot as its rightful ruler all the way through to the early 1990s, simply because the actual Cambodian government of the 80s was installed with Vietnam's help.

The USA seems to be on an never-ending quest to fuck Indochina over for no fucking reason.
