Alex Karp must smell terrible. And for whatever reason, i tried to imagine what his house looks/smells like… And i have a feeling it’s even worse 🤢

Thiel probably doesn’t smell much better, but it’s likely a stench from a different family of disgusting odors

I always felt American car companies were a really good example of that back in the 60s-70s when enormously long vehicles with giant engines were the order of the day. Why not bigger? Why not stronger? It also acted as a symbol of American strength, which was being measured by raw power just like today lol.

This also reminds me of the way video game programmers in the late 70s/early 80s had such tight limitations to work within that you had to get creative if you wanted to make something stand out. Some very interesting stories from that era.

I also love to think about the tricks the programmer of Prince of Persia had employed to get the “shadow prince” to work…

I’ve been enjoying watching musk lose left and right lately. He’ll never get justice for the terrible shit he’s done and continues to do but there is some mild satisfaction in watching his major operations slowly coming apart

This is the first thing I’ve seen all day that’s put a smile on my face. Good on those folks for standing up to those pieces of shit

Thanks for sharing! I’ll check it out tomorrow when I’m getting my morning routine in gear 🌅

That’s the magic of a good mixtape–it can take you so many familiar but wonderful places one after the next and the next and the next etc. I know it will all eventually get old in the same fashion, but it keeps the fire burning longer ♥️… then you gotta wait for the next “open season” listening phase where I’m receptive to new sounds to add new finds to the next "songs that are everything right now"mix and begin the cycle anew (with some choice selections from the previous mixes, naturally)

Your senses are sharp! 😄 It’s from a 90’s tv sitcom called Night Court

It doesn’t appear that anything is being done about this. I imagine there are many more devices pulling similar shit (sending personal data they collect back to their data centers without consent)… It just bothers me that there’s doesn’t seem to be any pushback whatsoever in cases like this. Not that i need or use a robot vac but I’m sure this type of data collection is hardly limited to them

Texas is clearly a bastion of fair business practices given that information 🍰

Use it to your hearts content 🥂

The news to me was that the credit was still available. Turns out the selling spree was because the $7500 credit was expiring September 30th. So the credit is now gone, another master stroke from the stroke master

Exactly what i was thinking 🫠

There’s also a reason it’s addressed as a “spectrum”… There are many subdivisions of neurodiversity, given more time and research I’m sure we could learn quite a bit more that would help explain these behaviors/traits and help people manage and understand these things.

I’m also seeing a troubling lack of consideration for shareholders too 🤔

I guess the lingering question is where we draw the line through. Sure, today it’s reddit–a place many of us already dropped despite being our internet home for years. Will they start pressing other sites to comply with similar laws?

It also seems the stalwarts that refuse to comply are greatly outnumbered by those who will just accept the new rules in order to keep using their favorite meme site.

Fuck Reddit, for sure. They may only be the first of many to be placed in this situation though.

This is why i always had the best jokes or funny observations or ideas when class was in session…and you need to share those things while they’re hot off the press 😅

That really is some of the best time spent with a friend. Enjoy those walks!

Have you considered starting your morning routine 6-7 hours earlier?

It’s like we’re trying to cross a rickety suspension bridge, and it’s clearly dangerous to keep going and the way back is just as dangerous…and we decided to just jump off the bridge because we were probably just going to fall off anyways ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
