They're scanned by the sorting equipment. When a stamp is issued with a particular number that number can then be used exactly once, at least in theory.

Primative Technology. That guy is just... unfathomableable. Pots, fire, bricks, crops, shelter, kilns, repeat, no words, no justification. We can't even be certain the guy in the video wrote the subtitles. Has he ever even acknowledged the camera? Is he a good guy? Evil? How would I tell? Does it even matter?
It's a shame I always miss that monologue because I use that time to run around locking all the exits and eating the keys.
If you admire Technology Connections, take a look at Cathode Ray Dude. Exudes a lot of the same energy.
Leonardo balls lmao gottem
Kashmir Hill sounds like the name of a newly-built neighbourhood of McMansions.
I have nothing more to add.
I test drove one and I loved it. It was like a dodgem. It was surprisingly roomy inside, insanely responsive, light, airy, and I just had a big fucking stupid grin on my big fucking stupid face the whole time.
What do you call a grateful Spanish footballer with no legs?
Gracias.
What do you call a team of grateful Spanish footballers with no legs?
Muchos Gracias.
I won't bother. Sounds like hurd work.
I get the tone of the conversation here (i.e. "hah, good"), but Dubai is a metaphor-made-real for the future world at this point. The wealthy elite in their glittering towers who gorged on a burning planet are fine. They're far above the water and their biggest inconvenience is the damp wheels of their nine-litre civilian tanks at the water laps on the twenty-lane highways, and that's the photo that is being splashed across every page. But their wealth and prosperity was built on the backs of the millions of slaves living in shanties and slums living under those highways and on unpaved wastelands. They're dead but they'd already been marginalized by the elites to the extent that they were legally not really people anyway. They're disposable and replaceable, they will be disposed of and replaced.
Any hardship experienced by the elite minority will be borne a thousand times over by the proletariat majority. We really need to be careful what we wish for.
There are signs saying they're just for phones and laptops. The reality is they're limited to 1A at 230V so anything that's not specifically for heating will probably work.
