Occasionally to run a search for a tweet I know exists and I want a screencap for my meme folder. Otherwise never.

And what? Pay tax in rubles? It's not that I like Russia or anything, but why should I care if Brussels is full of Igors instead of Mohammeds?

Because every single game is Africa vs. Africa and I have absolutely no opinion on who should win.

Check your candy this halloween, apparently some freak is putting "veins" in the snickers bars.

Oh, Dan Gelbart just posted:

Interesting take. Grok has been otherwise very Christian. However, if you want to reason about whether "you're going to heaven or hell", there's a pretty decent argument against... 1. An newborn baby has no knowledge of words, language, good and eval, or even cause and effect. 2. A person who is dying of a brain degeneration slowly loses all of these things, their comprehension of language, memory of what they did, ability to understand good and evil, and eventually even their ability to breath. 3. Therefore, if the baby dies in childbirth, or when the person with brain degeneration dies of their disease, we can reasonably assume that any part of them which "moves on" will not speak English with Saint Peter because their English language capacity is either gone, or never existed. And in the case of the person with brain degeneration, we can assume they'll have no memory of their sins, and no way to understand why they're in heaven or hell...

Hmm... Lots of bankruptcies -> Yeah like everything in nuclear. Regulatory bullshit. Scaling it down means more shielding -> Okay, fair point, but what if the factory doesn't make the shielding, and instead you buy 20 or 30 cores and put them all together and pour the concrete around them all? One she didn't mention: Neutron economics gets fussy at small scale. But the question is whether it's fussy enough that you really need to use an inferior reactor to make it work, or is it just fussy enough that you need to be more clever about your design? I have a hard time believing SMRs are really doomed, but I could easily see a world where (large) nuclear plants are assembled like legos.

Right, if it was "just" inflation, then everybody would "just" use hundred dollar bills instead of 10 dollar bills and nothing else would change that much. The real crime of inflation is all of the other stuff that is intended to suppress wages and prices.

Happy Gates Is In More Trouble day for those that celebrate.

What would actually be pretty funny would be like a 1.25 scale microbus so that people look at it and they're like "hmm, I always remember them being smaller, I guess we were smoking a lot of weed back then"

I'm not a big fan of Things You Can't See... I find it easier to believe that their great great grandparents were super-wealthy, but this generation are more like trust-fund babies with lots of connections to people like Epstein... I don't know for sure, it's hard to know anything for sure, but this idea of one secret family that rules the world - it demands a lot of faith.

IDK, it's not impossible but it's a hard problem. "Shirt-sleeves to shirt-sleeves in three generations"... means what the grandfather makes, the father blows, and the son starts over with nothing... Furthermore, people like Putin and his oligarchs are Real People with names and homes and jets and all of these things that real oligarchs have. The Rothschilds are something of a mirage, they're definitely real enough that they were talking with Epstein, but where are the castles and the million acre estates on google earth, and where's the jets and the yachts and all of that stuff that people like Bezos, Zuckerberg and Musk have?

Putin was put in power by [somebody] in 1999, but everyone who was controlling him at that time is almost certainly dead of old age by now. Even a puppet can become a master, given enough time...

Update, we're back. My shit broke ass home network will still continue to be shit and broke ass because procrastination can be done later. RT: https://pkteerium.xyz/objects/8f0b9984-2472-409a-ba0a-c2393b7e4623

Welp, internet is fucked. However, the peering between my ISP and OVH is still working. And I'm kinda too lazy to throw up a VPN. So I literally can't do anything else online except shitpost here. Haiii

Volvo FiveCyl I've got a slightly newer one of this, but diesel so it only revs to about 5k and doesn't sound as good. Though ironically it has more horsepower.

I don't know any of the back-story behind this, but this looks like exactly the kind of thing you say when you are laser focused on winning. RT:
