LOL. That's a bad sign that Tesla just came out with them, and they are already getting dumped on the market. Might as well buy a new one, or not...docnet said:Hate on the 'new' all you want, but cybertrucks are selling on the used market for $150,000 around me.

If one considers that Cybertrucks range from $80,000 to $102,000 and the waitlist for buying one is around 4 years, these sellers are poised to make money from people who have lots of $$ and don't want to wait to buy one. And the inflated prices are probably a sign of the hype more than people who changed their minds. I would bet some people never purchased to keep the car for themselves, in the first place.
If I had that much money to spend, which I don't, I'd buy me a Steinway piano which would provide many hours of joy
.Heck, $190,000 is 1/4 of the average price of houses around me.

I took an online Iq test that sends you the results back by email. I made sure to get everything wrong and gave my friend's name ( Edit: IIRC and last name initial) and email address. Wonder how he will react to the email titled: " John, your IQ is 29", not having an idea where it came from.

I would have said 1. This way, I answered it correctly (mod 3) and avoided winning the prize simultaneously.phinds said:

A scientist and an accountant schedule a meeting for 8 o' clock. The accountant shows up the next day at 8:00 AM and waits a few minutes, wondering where the scientist is. At 8:22 AM, the scientist shows up and acts like nothing is up. The meeting proceeds, and they schedule a new meeting the same time next week. Again, the accountant shows up at 8:00 AM, and waits around until 8:16 before the scientist shows up. He figures that maybe it's just a coincidence and let's it slide. They have the meeting and schedule another one the same time next week. This time, the accountant overslept but manages to arrive at the office building at exactly 8:25 AM. He thinks to himself, "well he is probably also a little late as well". The accountant goes through the building and finds the meeting room, which takes a few minutes and it is now 8:30 AM. The scientist, irate and frustrated goes: "Where were you!? You're an hour late!"
