like i work in shipping, and when i explain stuff to people outside the industry i often have to start with archimede's principle, because people don't always get how steel ships float, nevermind how a propeller works, or how uneven loading will stress the ship's structure.
that is a little less than obvious though. even though nearly everyone intuitively grasps that if you put your hand in a bucket of water you feel resistance and the water level will rise, there's still a certain logical step to take to transfer that understanding to ships

unless you had a music teacher like mine who was an ex naval engineer and when he got bored with arpeggios he'd explain how to calculate the mass of a destroyer and how a radio tuner works

Merchants should cover the transaction fee. (self.Bitcoin)

submitted 3 minutes ago by schism1

I'm not sure how it would be implemented. Maybe something like this: At checkout when tax and shipping is added then 0.0001 BTC is subtracted from the total.

It would not be very useful for merchants now but as more merchants adopt Bitcoin it could give a competitive advantage. Overall I think it would be good for the ecosystem.

no, because airplanes are a conspiracy of the global elite. Rather, each airport is a different facet of a single interdimensial construct that bridges space (but not time). the airport in Denver is the locus prima that anchors it to our dimensial knot

Nobody knows for sure. A bunch of people claimed to have lost the auction with bids well below and slightly below market price, so the assumption is made that Draper paid $600 or more each. His only response when asked has been "more than the other guys"

late on toastchat, but i know there's a bimetallic strip that bends when hot enough to turn off the toaster, because our sixth grade science class covered this in a perfunctory way.

but then half the class literally was unable to comprehend why heat would make something bend until it was explained seven or eight times. the teacher just said "bimetallic strip" over and over again like they were caught in a loop. it was a major question on the final, "how does a toaster work" because it was such an arcane thing.

this was a religious school, is news that will shock nobody.

well if the teacher just kept saying "bimetallic strip" over and over and didn't say "different metals expand at different rates so the strip is going to bend in a predictable fashion", teacher's a bad teacher
