Hawke,

each $100 bill is worth more.

But the creation of each additional bill devalues the currency. At some point the value of all this paper money is negative because it’s not worth keeping and storing. The point at which they cross from positive to negative value would give them zero value, and they’d be equal.

Hawke,

No, to the Bee.

USS Monitor (lemmy.world)

The USS Monitor was an ironclad warship used by the Union Navy during the US Civil War. It was a radical design that sat low on the waterline to present a very small target, and had a revolving turret rather than a broadside battery.

Why would you make a U-turn in a driveway? Driveways are generally narrower than roads.

Surely it’d be a Y-turn.

Hawke,

Hawke,

The trick is that you only know it’s a spoiler after you’ve seen the movie.

Hawke,

No it’s just disgusting
