The ‘tried to hit me with their car’ defense almost never holds up in court so he probably will go to jail for murder… in like 4 years from now, when we will have either much more ICE or much less.

Or about 0.1mm/year of sea level rise, or 50 cubic kilometers of Antarctic ice melt, or one Hiroshima bomb every 2 minutes.

“If it’s raining outside then we set the price of umbrellas to its maximum, $20.” One analyst said. “As long as there’s an ATM in the store, customers won’t leave when they run out of money.” The analyst goes on to suggest this periodical cash influx is the only way the store is staying afloat, citing poor management and excessive building budget.

Nobody will give 5 coffee shop workers a loan to start their own. Unions do actually help but most union organizers won’t touch you unless you have a minimum head count. So you’re really just out of luck there. IMO, many coffee shops and small restaurants are just vanity projects by wealthy people anyway.

lol bonded 56k is a pipe dream. most services claim they can handle out of order data but really can’t in the slightest. resilient web my ass

I try my best to help out my cousin but she’s 100% there. Any hiccup and she will be homeless. She has persistent mental health issues that she tries to get treatment for but is unable to get anyone to actually help her (her words and I know she tries). She has provisions already in place for when she eventually dips below the line of normal self care. My family is surprised she isn’t already homeless. But she somehow holds a full time+ (40-50 hours a week) job and never misses a day working in health care intake at an ER in a hospital and has had that job for 5+ years.

A university’s entire job is to manage their reputation, and this is the choice they made.

Not sure anyone really cares about the above ground structures when a whole complex exists below it. Unless they needed to retrofit a retractable roof for some sort of giant mech.

Is a personal email server even possible in 2025? It seems like email is fully commodified at this point.

The original term had a real meaning:

• First world: Capitalist and part of NATO
• Second world: Soviet countries
• Third world: All other countries

So Sweden, Finland, and Ireland are all Third world because of their neutrality. The term has drifted to a meaningless term and usually just means ‘poor’ or ‘evil’ depend on context. I wish words still had meanings.

I have no idea what third-worldism is tho and I couldn’t even begin to guess.

It’s definitely flowering! You can see the pistil hairs forming. Great job so far! Growing plants is good fun.

Here is my closet right now, just 3 more weeks to go:

Doctors almost universally follow government guidelines because they aren’t a research powerhouse and will do what their personal insurance tells them to do to not get sued.

One guy I knew in college was a failson like this. Lived off his dad’s big DC lawyer money. He would pay me $40 to drive him to a psychic every other week. He wanted to do some dumb AI startup thing back in 2013 so I wrote his foundational software in an afternoon and he’s been trying to milk it ever sense. I think I have equity because I get random investor update emails but I have no idea how much because I never agreed to any payout. Like 7 years later he got evicted from his own company for spending the company’s money on cocaine, then he started a new one that does the same thing. He’s a mobile lawsuit machine and sues everyone so I avoid him like the plague. For example, he totaled a rental because hes an insane driver and blamed the rental company and got a big settlement. He was perfectly fine. He was also caught selling weed in college and was expelled but he sued the college for defamation because they brought him on campus in cuffs. The college backed down and he graduated somehow after 7+ years. He now TEDx talks and claims hes a lecturer at a university in poland because he gave a talk once. If I showed you a picture, you would instantly identify that he is a guy who does a lot of cocaine and does business.

Apple buys up the supply of cutting edge silicon fab from TSMC.

I think browser companies see the impending doom of the web as we know it. With Sam Alman peddling the weird eye scanning orb that completely de-anonymized you from the internet (world.org). The bots that openai are championing will ruin the internet through sheer volume of garbage once they reach a commodifiable scale. Then you have openai making all sorts of backroom deals so their technology is the only technology that can run unencumbered, challenging cloudflare’s market power of effectively middlemanning the internet, by moving it to a browser level. We already have new search engine optimization startups for businesses but its for LLMs which is inherently non-human. AI browsers won’t improve our experience, we’re getting them because the web is transitioning to something that isn’t for humans, its for bots to navigate so you can buy a new airfrier with the least friction.

The economics make a ton more sense in Shanghi where electricty cost $0.07/kwh vs my city (san francisco) which is $0.60, almost 10x more. There’s only 2 charging stations with 8 spots each in my neighborhood of 60,000 people(!), neither of which you can park your car overnight.
