I imagine a lot fewer than that - or the number has to get a LOT higher.
After you sprinkle a half a dozen in California, it's about one per state in its largest metro area, and a few with one in their neighbors only. Texas, no doubt, could use a few, but the one large geographical states are pretty much centered on their largest cities. Las Vegas metro services 2 of their 2.7 million people, with only Reno left out of a showroom. Phoenix Metro does the same thing at a similar percentage, and while Tucsonians have to drive 2 hours to the current nearest Tesla dealership, it's not unreasonable for a $100,000 car. Denver Metro only covers half of Colorado's citizens, but, again, where else gets one if you don't have 500 dealerships?
It won't be the end of humanity... There's no chance that this will ever develop to that scale.
But for what it's worth, if they go through with this, then I'll be losing a bet as well. I've been figuring for the last 15 years or so that the next nation to use a nuke as a wartime act of agression would be North Korea.
While I think the actual outright end of humanity is slim, should anyone go any sort of nuclear - artillery or otherwise - there's going to be a pretty epic international shitstorm. There's no telling what some Ukrainian/Crimean commander will do if he actually has the power to retaliate in kind, and where that leads, or who rolls in tanks or planes to support........someone.
I think it's probably going to end in UN finger-wagging and "peacekeepers" on the ground for 50 years, but what do I know...
Part of/b/'s charm is that it's the cesspool at the bottom of the cesspool, but good grief it's impossible to browse the a single page of it without having to collapse one loli thread after another - let alone outright cheese pizza.
The real question about his liabilities around what's posted would be to get him to answer the conspiracy theories about all moderated content from/b/ getting archived and sent to a TLA LEO of their choosing.
He also forgot the third column in his test: "Use neither a geologist nor a dowser" Since that'll be just as accurate as using a dowser, it'll be the winning column for sure.
I own a MAME cabinet, with a (nearly) complete collection of ROMs and CHDs. I own an RFID enabled poker table, with the kit from VideoPokerTable.net I have a makeshift craps table, one Bally 70's era EM-series slot machine and an antique 36" roulette wheel. We're an XBox family, now with a One. My Cards Against Humanity set is mostly complete, only missing the extra-rare PAX sets and the misprint set, plus nearly all possible expansions, including 3rd party ones. I've been a Magic nerd since the 93's (with time off in the 2000's for good behavior). We do some of the newer deckbuilding games.
I rarely go a week without an organized poker tournament AND cash game, a sanctioned magic match and some "fun" Magic, CAH with friends, and some light gaming on the One. When we throw a party, nearly everything else ends up getting used.
Well, for starters, you'd need to be a temp contractor working for TargetCW, and then you'd have to run away with the phone and credit card your employer provided you with for doing your job.:/
Except, it's clear they have an intention of using the service.
They want to use their bought-and-paid-for ride as an opportunity to proselytize a captive audience.
1 - Book ride, 2 - During ride to follow script for conversion of driver from Lyft to Uber. 3 - If in a busy taxi market, wait a few minutes before booking a new ride to avoid getting the same driver. 4 - Else use Uber to get a ride to a new part of town. 5 - Repeat.
Burner phones are required if the driver in step 2 rats them out as "bad passengers."
Slashdot Mirror
Did she last play Magic 8 years ago, or play regularly 8 years ago and try playing again recently?
The Magic community is pretty female friendly nowadays, at least in my part of the world, and all of the recent GP's I've traveled for.
She might want to venture back in - the game is even pretty healthy now.
I imagine a lot fewer than that - or the number has to get a LOT higher.

There's no ban on China (or anyone else) on building supercarriers.
Verizon's wireless has made as much as 5BN in a quarter recently, but has also had losing quarters too.
For cocktail napkin math and simplicity's sake, lets say they made 7.4BN last year, making this 1/1000th of their profit.
Wolfram says 525 minutes.
...and yet, I still see it regularly.

I know it's likely urban legend, but I'd love this question point-blank answered.
If you think the mods and janitors on /b/ are on top of all of the pedophile activity, you're nuts.
Part of /b/'s charm is that it's the cesspool at the bottom of the cesspool, but good grief it's impossible to browse the a single page of it without having to collapse one loli thread after another - let alone outright cheese pizza.

I guess I lose my bet that the end of humanity would come from war in the Middle East.

Lighten up, Francis.
To quote Cecil Adams:
Both of those are fairly recent innovations. The fad will fade in a few generations, probably (sadly) to replaced by new fad pseudoscience.
...unless someone was taught it over a series of Sundays. :/
I suppose ignorance on things like this is generational, and we'll stamp it out slowly, like racism or smoking.
I'll "me too" on this a bit.

She has 114k/150k followers/subscribers because she's a walking publicity stunt.
No, they're not.
The modern feminist movement is one of "rape culture" and "privilege" not equality.
Sometimes pulp fiction is fine.
I don't always want to read War and Peace.
The bigger problem is that the slashvertisement has almost as much information as the linked page, most of it word-for-word.
Where's the link for modding our old consoles?
Ah well, back to emulating everything...
The only thing useful about it is you don't have to memorize as much and the math is easier. BFD. Here is a chart for you.
...that and being inter-operable with the rest of the planet.
Concur. I ran through all sorts of possibilities in my head. Is this a DNLA server? Does it record TV? ...oh, it's a personal YouTube server.

As long as I'm getting a ride and paying for it, I'm imagine I'm also free to try to proselytize.
But I can certainly see the other side of it.
