Are you sure it's not because of chronic exhaustion for several months in a row instead of the sex?

Finance bros who run wall street are all idiots, so they designed a system where no matter how stupid they are, they're always right. If you get a bunch of finance bros in a room and give a really good sales pitch, your valuation can triple despite nothing real actually happening.

In the case of AI, even the foremost experts are uncertain about how useful AI is. Qualified people disagree and no AI based tool has really proved itself to be robust, but it is amazing at fooling people who are either dumb or willfully ignorant, so it's like crack cocaine to anyone who works on Wall Street.

I feel like this should be simple to solve, just say "If anyone ever posts classified info about an in-game stat, that stat is permanently frozen at the current value forever, regardless of accuracy."

With a rule like this, posting classified info immediately means you lose the argument, and people only do it cuz they love to argue online.

Posted in December of course, after re-enabling IPv4 and restoring their internet connection to a functional state cuz some mystery process didn't respond all month.

Edit: I actually can't even access the link at the moment, maybe they forgot and left some IPv6 task enabled.

Sarah Palin was like a dog that peed on themselves because they're an idiot. Vance is like a dog that bites their owner because they're an idiot. Sure, Palin was dumb, but Vance is a real threat to all Americans.

If you were an extreme project 2025 republican, Vance would have been the perfect candidate assuming that 1. The democrats would throw the election by running Biden with failing health. And 2. That Trump would die of a heart attack in a few years.

I legitimately can't think of another reason why they would have picked him. The Trump campaign and project 2025 were counting on both those facts being true.

I love how Elijah Wood only does weird projects. He made his money once with LOTR, and decided he would only ever do fun things from here on out.

That's how you know he was a scientist.

A few weeks ago, on Monday morning, I was looking through a PR I was working on and decided to make a ticket to write a new function that would be super useful for my current work. I then leave for meetings for the day, then come back in the afternoon and find some time to write some code, and lo and behold, I see exactly the function I wanted was already written. I wrote it at 4:00 on Friday, docstring and everything, 72 hours before I wrote a ticket to create the function. Until rereading it, I had no memory of writing it.

My venue didn't let me have my dog be my flower girl :(

In 2002, there was a major bank freeze overnight in Argentina. They reopened months later, and because of how they now pegged to the dollar, the value of the accounts were functionally cut in half. In those months, many local neighborhoods invented their own bartering systems and it was a whole mess.

This was around the time the USA invaded Afghanistan, which explains why most people don't know about it, but it was obviously a major event for Argentina.
