I was a couple months off, but I wanted to let you know that bitcoin hit a new all time high.

I don't think most people pay close enough attention to song lyrics.

That's awesome. I've heard of some cities doing that, nice to see an example.

I had a shower thought the other day; what would the world be like if advertising didn't exist?

No billboards or giant signs everywhere blocking our views. Content would be better because it wouldn't be interrupted by commercials. But think of how much money is spent on advertising? Companies would have to invest that into other areas to be successful instead, such as cheaper and/or better quality products, or higher wages for their workers. Companies would have to work really hard to get a good reputation so their products could spread through word of mouth instead of using advertising to invade everyone's space.

I'm sure there's some downsides, but it sounds kind of amazing.

I got an associates degree from a community college and worked part time to pay it off while I was attending. Got a job before I even graduated and no debt. I don't feel like I did anything exceptional or amazing to avoid the student-debt trap.

Housing shouldn't be seen as an investment.

Yeah, that was a dumb move but it shows how unreasonable driving alternatives are. People have to drive in the US

I saw one yesterday about a record heatwave in Pakistan. What causes such extreme heat in that region?

 

Are there any good apps to use as a replacement for google maps? It's the only google service I'm still using.
