  1. What's crazy to me from an outside observer, Snowflake was written off for dead and Databricks was the hot new cool thing everyone loved and was going to set the new PR IPO record that Snowflake set, and then quietly Snowflake has been on an amazing, lowkey run. Their numbers are great and earnings are great and stock is doing well. Meanwhile Databricks is hiring everyone under the sun and growing so large and fast they are a Series G or H or whatever private "startup" bigger than most public tech companies. I have friends who joined 2 years ago that said the 2 years ago they joined they felt about 2 more years late to the party (in terms of equity, buzziness, blowing out comp with bonuses, etc.). @Dbeasy your family members mileage may vary.
  2. Crazy to think that in two weeks, this thread is 4 years old. I'm not going to go back 151 pages, but I'm sure there were people who were adamant and obstinate in drinking the koolaid fed to them and used the term "transitory" a hundred times. If that applies to you, slap yourself in the face.
  3. Alanis Morissette alert. Brazil mows down 8 miles of it's amazon rainforest in order to make transportation easier for all the traffic it's expecting....for the climate change conference it's hosting (COP 30). Amazon forest felled to build road for climate summit
  4. Wait so the mole employee was the father of the CEO of the competitor? Seems like that would have been a huge red flag before all the other red flags.
  5. Just saw Glad II. Oof. Jar jar Baboonks.
  6. Look kemosabe, much like the lunatic on the corner screaming the end is near, believe whatever you want, while everyone ignores your craziness.
  7. I don’t even know what this means and I’m afraid to ask.
  8. I wonder if Georgia is going down the Texas path of selectivity, in that because of the Hope Scholarship and basically making UGA free for Georgia kids, there are less spots for out of state kids.
  9. Generally I think you are overreacting but I do have to agree that was the lowest point in a low season. Oof.
  10. Oh come on. Don’t put that evil on me Ricky Bobby just because you don’t like the comment. I’m not saying Europe should not buy Russian fuel and let their citizens freeze to death. I’m saying what brisket said— it was wildly irresponsible in hindsight. Hindsight to be fair that’s 20/20.
  11. Most American's can't even name 5 Canadian provinces. I tried earlier this week and could only name 7.
  12. That would be amazing actually. And as you said, the rich can't avoid it, even better!
  13. This is where I'm at. Does that mean we get a Jan 6 redux? Maybe. But either way, power will be passed.
  14. This is WILD to me. Europe really outsourced their way into this trouble and now faces a huge mountain to bring capabilities back "in house". This is like paying for a body guard to protect your little bother from the bully beating them up but then you are paying for the costs to keep the bully beating up your brother. Insane. Bad optics. Sad state of affairs. You name it. https://energyandcleanair.org/publication/eu-imports-of-russian-fossil-fuels-in-third-year-of-invasion-surpass-financial-aid-sent-to-ukraine/
  15. The Tennessee guy with the poop colored dreds reminds me of this everytime they say his name:
  16. Amazon Blazer is a good band name for a wedding singer for poor people. Also, you and Helobious should trade notes on shopping for clothing based on Amazon Prime deals. I hear he gets his gold chains and black tees there.
  17. If you were more enterprising, you would have made an absolute killing yourself selling trade paperbacks to the masses. The male Colleen Hoover. I bet you'd have a huge following because...well...America.
  18. Now that I can see. But Trump for a 3rd term formally-- no way.
  19. Thanks for the bump of the thread, I'll be watching this thread. I'm completely out on this, but you guys have fun and if I see it bumped and overwhelmingly/surprisingly rave reviews I'll check it out.
  20. I guess I'm on the ledge closest to the sliding glass door because I'm still not resigned to believe that he can completely disband the constitution and elections and install himself with the military as the President past 2028. I really think that D's need to be coalescing around the 2028 nominee and grooming him/her from now until 2028 in the spotlight as the anti-Trump/Vance. The pendelum will swing!
  21. What lady is he talking about (he has unfairly and nastily riducled too many to narrow it down, unfortunately)?
  22. I think Trump will lose the "Blue Wall turned Red Wall" bloc with the economy. The 40% who love him will love him no matter what. The 40% who hate him will hate him no matter what. The people who decide elections are already jumping off the bandwagon and anymore damage to our 401k's, businesses, IRA's, play money stock portfolios, etc. is just gonna turn folks against him even more. That said, he's termed out and in his 80's-- what does he care about needing votes or approvals? He got the last votes he needed and he and his con-artist future biographer can write a vanity piece book as his "legacy" and I'm sure Simon Schuster will publish it because there is money to be made.
  23. Trump reminds me of an amatuer bad painter who, when making an error, trying to fix it actually makes it worse and so he has completely lost the painting and it's ruined but he needs to fix it and with every brushstroke it gets worse and he just won't put the brush down because of ego and fear and chaos.
  24. Thank you, well said and informative on the perspectives and what they mean.
