It's worth at least 500.

I assume he means Iranian Rials since there are 371,992 to the dollar and that looks like it's worth about 500 of them.

  • Like I said, using those blocks to build with would emit far less CO2 than the equivalent amount of concrete. You can keep pretending you answered a yes or no question, but you did not.

    And it's because you are either supremely ignorant or know for a fact that art is vital to most people on this planet, literally going back to the origins of our species, and that it has absolutely nothing to do with oil, so defacing it will not stop fossil fuel production, and are just refusing to admit it.

    Maybe you would like to live in a world that is both fossil fuel and art free. Most people would not want to live in a world where the latter is the reality.

  • That is not the question I asked. You are still evading. It's not a gotcha. You said art doesn't matter because of climate change. I am giving you two examples of art that can be turned into something functional (at a lower carbon output than cement or concrete, I might add) and you refuse to say whether or not they should be. Answer the question.

    Also, Jesus-

    OpenAI’s business model, as it exists today, doesn’t really inspire confidence, as it seems to exist on the promise of ‘jam tomorrow.’ Specifically, the firm has an income of approximately $3 billion per year, which is put in deep shade by its $7 billion annual expenditure.

    The "Calvin Diskjockey," a portable two-turntable record player from the 1960s.

    "The portable 'Calvin Discjockey' could be plugged into any amp or pa system. It was primarily marketed to radio DJs as a convenient console in a suitcase for personal appearances and dances. It played both old-standard 78s and new microgroove 33/45s, using a two-sided cartridge with a knob on the head that flipped it over. Separate volume controls for each turntable and a microphone. No cue channel. The metal platters were covered in soft fiber and driven by a pinch-roller between the inside rim and motor capstans. The white knobs adjusted the speed by moving the roller across the capstan's three diameters. The mic jack was whimsically labeled "Mike". c-1962"

    (No link, sorry. Got this from a friend who emailed it to me.)

    Are UFOs real? Historical markers say yes

    > But the marker is now one of at least 15 that say, without hesitation, that aliens have come to visit Earth. > >They join more than 180,000 other historical markers dotting the country’s landscape, and NPR found they wouldn’t be the first to claim something that may, or may not, be true. > >There’s a marker in Massachusetts that claims the town was once home to a real, live wizard. New York has a marker about a ghost that plays the fiddle on a bridge in the moonlight.

    Edit: I can only think that the downvoters either believe the aliens are among us or that they don't understand the very obvious tongue-in-cheek nature of the article despite the whole "real, live wizard" part I pasted above.

    A list of Weird Al "Style Parody" songs- songs he's written that don't directly parody another song

    It doesn't include "First World Problems," which was very much a sort of song The Pixies would have written in terms of the music style.

    Executive director, CFO removed from WFIU/WTIU - No reasons given

    Speculation from a friend is that IU's president was not happy with WFIU/WTIU's take on the student protests. So much for independent journalism.
