Today I Learned

What did you learn today? Share it with us!

We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**



Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Huh.. I had expected something more extravagant. Looks like a run of the mill McMansion. Probably not his only house, though!

All of Austin is like this. It's really incredibly boring, very little to do (esp if you like natural beauty and the outdoors), and all has a mid tier feel. San Antonio at least has some neat architecture but Austin feels like one giant strip mall. I don't think I'd ever leave coastal northern California (even with absurd taxes that aren't actually used in a society improving way) but if I really wanted to avoid taxes at least parts of Nevada are close to the Sierras, or close to Zion.

There's the Bat City Bike Club at least

Fair enough. There's also a nice history of cyber culture stuff in the 90s (FringeWare Review for example, though interesting to note Paco Nathan has long since relocated to Northern California). And obviously UT is a good school, I saw a great Ween show at Stubbs once, etc.

I was just in Austin last week and every time I go there and then come home to Berkeley I'm reminded how much I love where I live. And esp with teenage daughters how I'd never live somewhere that doesn't respect their fundamental rights.

Apparently sold for $4.5M last, per Redfin. Less than I'd have thought.

It looks like the address for the PO Boxes at the post office

[–] f314@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The billing address or the shipping address?

1448 points, really? Maybe it's just me but I can't not see that as a slightly obscured 14 88

[–] GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It would be a shame if he stared getting large quantity of junk mail to those addresses

[–] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

That his paid employees are no doubt familiar with sifting through?

[–] TrackenDaKracken@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This isn't a mistake, he just knows he's untouchable.

Also, there's no telling how many of those buildings around there he also owns. Or, who is living there.

Might be staff, for all we know.

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 day ago

Dude was walking around with a kid helmet a lot for a while for someone who’s untouchable.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

You too can use a racist LLM to make yourself feel better about being a shitty parent.

[–] Tiger@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Be right back, ordering an exploding glitter package.

[–] lena@gregtech.eu 2 points 1 day ago

Can’t’ve. Home’s where the heart is
