Class. The news pretends otherwise but material conditions are, if not everything, a lot. There’s no House of Lords where we store our drunken perverts but it’s similar to England.
It gets different the further you are from DC. Money is always involved but no one in Oregon gives a shit what you wear and lots of places in the South and West make folk heroes out of hard working and even rebellious people. (Rebellious in this case can be good resistance or just the worst shit ever.)
Do you do that enough to justify Nvidia’s stock price? I sometimes ask it stupid questions as a novelty but that isn’t something worth paying for.
Nvidia should sign every long term contract possible. It’s the most valuable company on Earth but few people actually use A.I. and Switch 2 sales aren’t going to justify the price.
I’m not saying A.I. is worthless. It can never live up to the hype and most consumers don’t have datasets. Something incredibly useful for medical science and astronomy is not really fit for purpose elsewhere.
Linode. I don’t trust the parent company but who can you trust? It’s super easy to setup and like $5 a month for a small scale project that isn’t mission critical.
Note: I would never use it for a paid or really important thing. If you expect your Boy Scout group to have 50,000 users one day, it’s not fit for purpose. It’s more than fine for a little league schedule or whatever.
It’s true. The Bronze Age collapse even blames “sea peoples.” They weren’t singing Rihanna. It was sea shanties keeping morale high.

I know this is old but Bolsonaro went to the hospital again. If I get any of these predictions right, it’ll be 50 hospital stays for Bolsonaro. Dude got bit by a large, flightless bird while in COVID quarantine. He’s so good at going to the hospital.
They’re gonna make everyone download a new app that’s just for Americans so have fun with that. What sort of cool teen is excited about an OracleTok where they replaced Brazilian models with SQL lessons and propaganda chosen by a bunch of old ass fascists?
Man cannot live off sea shanties alone. We’ve proven that twice now. That’s why the meme went away and 18th century mutinies happened.
I’d like to think so. When we read 1984 in high school, a friend and I were studying together. I remember saying (in my naïveté), “I loved the book and I get the history but why would you want to be in charge of a place that sucks?” She was like, “You’re just going to have to get used to the fact that a lot of people care about power more than beaches.”
Well, I still think those people are foolish. I’d rather be in charge of my own tiny slice of paradise than rule over some wack ass dictatorship where everyone else is miserable. Not wanting to be in charge is probably the basic pre-requisite for being a benevolent dictator. I like to cook for people and stuff. I’d use my power and wealth to do that.
That being said, I’m a dirtbag. I’d have a cool house somewhere with mountain and ocean views. Probably 3 or 4 beauty queens who also have Ms. Congeniality pageant sashes who are in charge of laughing at my jokes and charming me. No more than one or two rhythmic gymnastics teams that delight us all by throwing ribbons to each other with their feet. (Other apparatuses are cool too. Hula hoop. Clubs. Ball. Variety is the spice of life.)
Thank you. I was trying to remember and my brain was like, “Not emu. What’s the ratite from S. America called again? Fuck! I just saw a whole science YouTube video about ratite evolution like 2 days ago.” And then I just assumed it would be exotic.
The most hospitalized man in history does it again! He’s the Da Vinci of hospitalizations! Who but Bolsonaro could get bit by an exotic bird while quarantined for COVID?
This isn’t a Jordon vs. Lebron or Pele vs. Maradona type debate. There can be no debate. He’s the illest to ever do it.
The article says it could result in a fine that’s based on the value of the damage. You’d think having a famous artist’s work would increase the value of the building.
Utah has some weirdness about it but they’re nice and have amazing parks. My culture (New Orleans) is pretty far from Utahn's but it’s fine. We’re all sincere and nice and don’t expect to be understood. I don’t want to live in Provo and they probably think I’m a shiftless, drunken buffoon (fair; I am that). But nice people enjoy antics here and there. I enjoy people who got all their vitamins and have morals here and there. We have no problem breaking bread.
