I'm pretty sure the figure for heroin is on the high side too. Most people won't have a tolerance, and a lethal dose would be quite a bit lower than this.

Isn't non-alcoholic cider just apple juice? How unfortunate, I love some proper strong cider and there's lots to choose from round here.

I'd probably try something similar if I could, I'm not in the US though.

I'm guessing it'll do pretty well, at least initially. There's got to be a whole lot of investors out there who just want to get in on the new big tech IPO and still jump in. I'm not convinced the WSB crew will really move the dial. Yeah it'd be an amusing and salutary lesson if the IPO shits the bed but I can't see it happening. I'm no expert tho!

They've had investors who were willing to pay into a loss-making company. Could be that they sold investors on the idea that it will be profitable at some point in the future but it needs to be funded while it grows. Could also be that the value they see in it is not just financial - the ability to influence opinion, harvest data, stuff like that.

Why on earth would they give those sweet pre-IPO shares up to the unwashed masses if they thought there was even a remote chance the IPO would at least break even?

I suspect it's because they're worried that their users are going to short them and encourage others to do the same, so they're trying to get them involved and committed. They don't want WSB causing shit. My guess is that the share prices will do pretty well, at least initially. There are plenty of ignorant investors who want to get in on the next big tech stock. Just a guess though, I don't know enough about this stuff to invest in stocks myself.

Yeah, my parents didn't have money for expensive toys either. I had a small transformer that I swapped off a kid at school for all my marbles (including the large steel bearing). It transformed from robot into tape cassette and I thought that was just cool as fuck.

When I was a kid in the 70s, a lurker was a turd that had failed to flush away properly. As in : "Dad left a big beefy lurker in the toilet again." How language changes.

Yeah, and you can't use karma as a good metric for determining relevance or accuracy. I contributed ten years of mostly fairly good quality posts but my highest rated was a joke about gangbangs.

Yeah, I just had an email inviting me to participate in the IPO. I'm not a US resident though so that won't be happening.

I wonder if his assets include infowars? Would be another nail in coffin of his hopes if the families gave it to the knowledge fight guys. Funny as fuck, too.
