[@johngaltline9933]

Came here to make this comment. by weight ink tends to be the most expensive common item people buy. On the serious side, Epson and canon both make reasonably priced printers now that use large ink tanks. Refill bottles cost less than normal cartridges and have about 10 times the ink. Have used both brands extensively in my business, and the canon is superior to the epson in every way, except that the refill ink is only available at Staples, and about 1 in 10 best buy stores. Probably not a big deal for a regular person where a single fill will last a year, but can get annoying if you are printing absurdly high volumes as I do. With both brands, the printers don't like long idle time between prints of more than a couple weeks.

Sorry to disappoint you but the Totenkopf isn't really a Nazi symbol any more than the letter S (as seen in the SS) is. Or the symbol of the lightning strike. (as seen in the SS) It actually has its origins in the skull and crossbones symbol/emblem which (as far as we know) dates back to the 12th century. Sure, one can argue that that one particular design is the same one used by the Nazi's but it really wasn't exclusively used by them. The same way the Swastika didn't first appear on the Nazi flag. If we are going to throw a fit over everything the Nazi's used or created then we should tear up larger portions of the Autobahn, dismantle the car manufacturer VolksWagen and send all of Germany back to pre-war unemployment levels and living standards. Among many many more things. Or we can just learn from our mistakes and simply not be as bad as the Nazi party was... We learn that adopting an "us vs them" stance is the breeding ground for hate, anger and suffering.

How about the trillion dollar coin

[@TheKingJulien22]

When you consider the fact that the U.S military is given about $600 billion dollars a year, and the ISS is worth, in total 1/5 of that, speaks volumes about our countries efforts as a whole and what we could achieve if we worked together instead of fighting each other.

I didn't even realize the video was already over and answer given!

Earth itself is the Most expensive thing in the World. With or without humans, trees, cities or animals. Just the Land of the particular countries is partially so expensive...

“The most expensive single thing is your life”

[@auxencefromont1989]

I am pretty sure that the iss is worth more than an human life

[@misatzu]

@@auxencefromont1989 he should have rephrased to "personally valuable" then it'd make sense (but alters the original phrasing by a long stretch)

The introduction of sponsorship was sooo smooth!!

Love is the most expensive thing.

[@frankpinmtl]

Well - technically, it's divorce, that comes after love

Apparently the most expensive anything is a 400 guilder loan a smaller German town gave to Berlin about 450-460 years ago... (1 guilder is about 280,000 Euros today.) It had 6% interest, compounding over time. It seams Berlin never paid them back, and now thanks to the compounding interest the loan has a higher value than all the money on the Earth. (Heard it’s like 97 quintilllion Euros, but that may be a high estimate.)

Dude your transitions to the sponsors are really nice

[@Teampegleg]

The B-2 doesn't cost $3 Billion each, that is what it costs when you amortize the R&D into each aircraft. The actual cost to build each aircraft is about $737M, which is probably the most expensive aircraft but it is a lot less than $3B.

Wait. How would everyone in Wyoming go to Paris to see the Mona Lisa if someone bought it

[@funnycat9962]

Have you ever bought something and then left it in the store, but you’re already home by the time you realize you don’t have it? That’s how.

[@siler7]

You can look up when the ISS will pass over your location. It's fun to tell people it's coming and then tell them "That is the most expensive thing you will ever see."

[@MartnRendrs]

Damn bro, that segway into Dashlane got me reeling #segwayoftheyear2019nomination

The worlds most expensive item is the world.

Gerarld R Ford was born in Omaha, but his hometown is widely considered to be Grand Rapids MI. Its where he was raised and has a museum about him.

As a New Yorker, I really appreciated those New York roasts.
