  1. Pretty good breakdown on the lawsuit from David Samson, former president of the Marlins, around how this is suit potentially exposes Ballmer to fraud charges TLDR - it's probably just a money grab, but they've got Ballmer cornered pretty nicely in that he's now papered as a co-conspirator with Aspiration in aiding their fraud
  2. You must not be familiar with the most recent manufactured panic over bail? Heaven forbid we open more judicial benches to scale with the population - just find reasons to deny bail
  3. The tariffs may go away, but the market damages won't. That business isn't coming back
  4. Ward Carrol has a good round-up of what's happening around Venezuela. Kind of crazy how similar all of this is to Clear and Present Danger, except it's an overt war instead of covert war
  5. I mean, at least it's a little closer to them finally being honest - they want to levy extra taxes on people that they don't like. Simple as
  6. Lol try telling that to the business board - you'll get called a friend of Castro for noticing how much infationary debt the oligarch class has taken out on their paper value stonks
  7. lmao what a great example of "every accusation is a confession" with the russian state media accusing the US of stoking divisions in russia
  8. the second half of that quote was of COURSE blaming democrats for the shutdown
  9. good lord they're all just a bunch of fucking liars
  10. Gotta say, Whitest Kids You Know re-uploading their videos with modernized titles is surprisingly relevant
  11. Most firms approach cybersecurity like outrunning a bear: you don't need to be the A-1 best/fastest, you just need to not be the worst/slowest. And tbh, just doing baseline security patching with defense in depth will be "good enough". No matter how much security you put in place, you're always vulnerable to social engineering attacks which will always sidestep most controls put in place
  12. In my case, I HAVE to run my sprinklers 3x a week just to keep the soil under my foundation from moving too much. It's fucking wild how much the soil moves if it dries out, damn neighborhood built on what used to be a rice paddy
  13. Oh shit https://www.pablo.show/p/update-steve-ballmer-sued-by-11-aspiration Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer has just been sued by 11 Aspiration investors who allege that Ballmer used the company — which is now called Catona — “to secretly funnel millions of dollars to star NBA player, Kawhi Leonard.” According to the complaint: “These funds would be channeled through [Aspiration] to Leonard so that Ballmer could induce Leonard to re-sign with the Clippers by covertly paying him more than allowed by the NBA’s salary cap rules.” The plaintiffs allege that “Ballmer was complicit in and aided and abetted [co-founder Joe] Sanberg’s fraud for his own self-serving purpose.” They continue: “Absent Ballmer’s support, [Aspiration] could not have sustained the frauds set forth herein.” “Plaintiffs,” the lawsuit says, “would not have invested and/or kept their investment in [Aspiration] if Ballmer and Sanberg had disclosed the true nature of Ballmer’s investment"
  14. Worse, he might have quoted Charlie Kirk

    3D Printing

    Buy a purpose built filament dryer, you can get a decent one for $35, or a nice multi roll one for like $100. It's made a huge difference in my baseline print quality and is just part of my print setup now. That's really awesome and interesting work with the suppressor - I'm curious to hear how it holds up to use through the hunting season
  16. Is this something where your looking for a partner to defray your rack costs, or making the opportunity known that there's well-positioned rack space available? I get that you could sell cloud storage capacity for X thousand dollars per month, but I'm just not familiar with the market economics of that space or how to find customers. It would be interesting to learn and have a peice of that action though
  17. They're the ones controlling Yotta, right? It's wild, that "savings account" is just a depository for a literal online casino now
  18. But it's not a bubble!!
  19. lulz wtf is an AI Browser? Who the hell would use one of these?? Really good example of prompt injection vulnerabilities that you would be making yourself exposed to. But yeah the "AI browsers" are just SUPER userdata vacuums. All hail surveilance capitalism
  20. Lee Atwater said it best nearly 40 years ago You start out in 1954 by saying, “N****r, n****r, n****r.” By 1968 you can’t say “n****r”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.… “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “N****r, n****r.”
  21. bro do you want shareholder returns or not you goddamn commie pinko
  22. So like the broken brake (or was it gas?) pedal, they're re-glueing and riveting it on? Wow what craftsmanship for a 100k turd
  23. You're telling me that the senate can pass resolutions with a simple majority?? I'm in a state of incredulity!
