Cheap bastard! Who would deny their neighbor coming over to borrow some sugar and a couple mills?

Well the house is presumably up for purchase now. I feel like I want to be this guy's neighbor.

Hey Bob, I want to buy a luxury yacht but I only have $12.50 in the bank, can I borrow $2 million please I'll have it back to you by Friday.

Uh, a luxury yacht costs a lot more than $2M, $2M gets you a premium fishing/speed boat.

[–] jasoncg@programming.dev 8 points 3 months ago

I mean, it's one banana. What could it cost, $10m?

I know, these poors don't know anything about the struggles we face. (did you know mike just got himself a Benetti that's 2 meters longer than mine? honestly, who does he think he is)
