I think they want to aerosolize it. I swear you can't understand the ruling class without reading 'snow crash'.

Hungary already kind of did that.

"It's all computer"

I wish you a speedy and affordable recovery

Oh for sure. If it does actually exist though, it's definitely gonna be a $40 Chinese whitelabel model.

Thank you for this gif

I know a maga grandma that will probably buy into this.

I laughed so hard I peed myself

Biometals are way cooler anyways. Copper? Zinc? Cobalt? Molybdenum? Iron? Tin? Manganese?

All these are essential to our life and provide actual use compared to the utter lifeless and obsolete gold that only serves greed among the ghouls chasing it.

Is $47 considered a good deal in the states nowadays? Before I left (2015) I was paying about $80/month.

Now I'm in the Netherlands and I pay $7/month.
I don't remember what my plan is but it's something like 8gb data and more minutes/SMS than I could ever use.

Cell/internet/TV plans are a total racket in the US.

Not really. I'm on Visible Wireless prepay and pay $25/month for unlimited data, including unlimited hotspot (rate limited at 5 mb/s on the hotspot).

If it's a post-pay plan, then it might be competitive, as the rates are around what you remember for those. Since they're talking about a $500 phone instead of "free with plan," I'm assuming it's prepaid where you have to buy the phone separately.

Edit: okay, read the article and it's prepaid. It's not a good value and is easily beat my several existing services.

Why do we need celebrity owned cell carriers? This article makes it sound like a bad thing Ryan Reynolds’s exited Mint, but at least the stars of arrested development still have a cell provider.

I mean WTF, I like that there is competition but what the fuck is wrong with us that we prefer celebrity endorsement to actual features, value, longevity, etc.

I know it’s a bigger question than what I’m asking but this is all part of the rot that our economy is experiencing. All vibes, all promises, all scams, this country runs on nothing but grift.

$47

Too high. Tello is $25 for Unlimited in the states and is also an MVNO, and not owned by fascists(at least not openly).

Not only is it survailance tech, not that a normal phone isn't, but it isn't competitive. More trash from the Trump Dump.

Gold is useful! It's unreactive and conducts electricity really well. Plus you can drink vodka with bits of it in.

Did anyone read the TOS and such? Holy shit! So many red flags.

Hey, the "building" of a phone is the part where Mercans put in those tiny screws, as suggested by Administration staff. The low-tech stuff, like fabricating doublesided circuit boards and the microcircuit and mucrowave filter parts mounted on them, all that easy cheap stuff can be done by other people to support the screwers.

Plus you can drink vodka with bits of it in.

And afterwards you can literally shit gold!

Don’t miss the fine print.

*phones not made in the USA

Came here to say this and that there is a good Free software phone that is: https://puri.sm/
