Late to the party? A little slow? Where have you been, author?

Possibility: They know it’s in the wrong spot. They don’t know why. So they figure someone screwed up, they don’t know who, but they don’t want it to be them or their department. So nobody says anything, and the stop remains unchanged.

“The president is a fuckup. He still has my complete support!” -Republicans.

For regular makes and models there are far fewer options, like Toyota or Honda. BMWs are perceived as higher tier and have more options. The fact you have to single out a more luxury brand and can‘t just say “Toyota has 20 color options for the Corolla!” proves my point.

You could also get factory colors “custom”. What was available at the dealership was one thing, but they had a host of other color options you could special order. Like upgrading from an AM radio to AM/FM Cassette. You just had to wait for the factory to do a run of that option before your car would get shipped. More options were a la carte and you weren’t forced into trim packages like today that are like cable tv packages - pay for a bunch of shit you don’t want to get the one or two options you do. Want AWD? Sure! But you have to take “premium sound”, floor mats, cargo separator, and exterior trim packages too.

First they came for your music. Then they came for your movies. They came for your Games. Now they want your computers.

Create artificial scarcity to drive up prices thanks to foolish venture capitalists dumping money into GPU- and RAM-hungry AI vaporware. Free money.

Consumers get hosed due to high prices, major investors make bank on overinflated stock value, eventual crash, everyday consumers and investors get hosed, companies get bailouts while employees get laid off.

I think the hard part is finding non-sensationalized forecasting. If you listen to the news they turn everything into disaster movie storms. They pick the worst potential outcome. 2-4” of snow with a potential for 8” if some unlikely combination of air masses combine?“OmG SnOwMaGeDdOn!1!” Meanwhile most get a dusting to 2”.

If you want actual decent weather you’ll need to go to sources like NOAA that don’t spoon feed you clickbait.

Epstein was actually smart. Unfortunately he used his brains for worse things than just run of the mill financial gain. Trump just tries to associate with people who know what they’re doing, just preferentially chooses people good at shitty things.

I’m more concerned with PCI slots blocked by massive GPUs, especially on smaller form factor boards. You’ll need PCI/e extension cables to install an additional card.

The Turing Test has shown its weakness.

Sesame Street, Muppets, The Electric Company.

Completely dated, but these older shows introduced a white kid in whitesville to a completely different world. Plus fun, educational in a way that kids don’t mind.

I’m willing to believe he killed himself to protect the organization, but someone on the outside created the conditions for him to do so.

That’s the actual conspiracy. I don’t get why so many feel the need to manufacture an actual person that would have to physically murder the man and be kept silent afterwards. All they had to do was give an already suicidal man (did everyone forget he was on suicide watch and then taken off?) shoelaces or whatever and not watch him. That isn’t conspiracy enough? The chain of phone calls from powerful people funneled down to the orders to individuals at the prison who were instructed to provide him the tools and time to kill himself?

Oh look. A suicide note by a guy who killed himself. Not murdered.

That’s not good.

Falling asleep in the driveway would have been the least bad reason.

Companies want trump to get rid of taxes and regs.

They get just that. Profit. Regular people screwed.

Didn’t count on the insanity of trade wars and tariffs. Regular people screwed.

Sue. What happens if they win?

Tariffs change. Record profits. Rich get richer again. Regular people screwed.

Lol, nsfw that link. Didn’t expect a porn ad up front.

Sorry…”copacetic”
