I think this guy is putting on an act to keep retail investors interested.

The whole sell of this company to the wallstreetbets types was that it's an evil company that sells stuff to the military. Those people are very nihilistic about the financial system, they know it's rigged and full of evil companies doing evil shit and want to make a buck off it.

Nobody really even knows what they do or if they have a useful product. So this dweeb has to put on show of being an evil piece of shit to juice the stock.

I just read about this thing called Amazon Hub. It's a program where local businesses can receive Amazon packages and send their employees out to deliver them for an hour or 2 a day and collect a fee.

I can't put my finger on why this bothers me so much, since labor value is captured by all business owners. I guess its just how transparent this is, since it's basically renting your employees out to Amazon like prison labor. It's also another way for the business owners to squeeze more productivity out of workers when business is slow

Went to ocean for a night. Took this photo at 2:30am. I think it's pretty cool:

It's awful, I had to do that when I worked at McDonald's. I just sort of dissociated and pretended like I was an automaton while I worked there.

They now have a system that says that stuff automatically when you pull up to the drive thru but it doesn't really solve the awkwardness of it. I don't know if I'm supposed to answer, or just ignore it and start ordering. The cashier's seem bothered by it as well, because half the time they just say, "What can I get for you?" immediately after it ends.

"We need affordable housing" says person who opposes having low income housing built in their area

I hate when people don't put their cart away at the grocery store, but that Cart Narcs guy bothers me for some reason. I can't quite put my finger on it. It feels explotative I guess.

It also doesn't seem effective at all. All he's doing is getting into conflict with people who either shameless about it, or have some actual reason to not return their cart.

When I was 12 or 13 I used BBS's, which was like a proto-internet kind of thing where your computer would dial in to other people's computers. They had games, message boards and file downloads.

Anyway, I met this guy who lived in my town through one of these. His handle was "Violator". I asked my mom to bring me to his house to hang out. She drove me, a teenager, to where this 35 year old man lived in an RV behind his parents house.

I was not molested, but looking back on it, I cannot believe my mother let me go.

They would have to have a lot of switches and network wires connecting them and systems to monitor them. Even then, I doubt this draw would be enough to signal to them that it's a problem. Probably not drawing more than a stove on the cleaning cycle, far below a level that would say, "This area is drawing too much power".

I run on a trail that has an osprey nesting platform. When I get near one of the parents takes off and makes warning sounds. Yesterday they weren't there, so I think they've migrated a little early.

Interesting fact about osprey: Juveniles don't migrate with their parents. They make their first migration alone, thousands of miles to a place they've never been. They establish a permanent winter home and then return to the area of their birth the next spring.

The stupidest part of this thing will be the repair costs and corresponding insurance rates. A shopping cart ding can't be repaired with Bondo and paint. Nor can it be repaired by normal paintless dent repair tools because it's 3mm stainless steel. Basically any accident will require panel replacement, since there's only a few shops in the whole country that can repair stainless steel body panels.

A fender repair that would cost $1500 on a normal vehicle will cost $10k. I'm sure we'll see parking lot accidents that total one of these.

I can't even begin to imagine what she'd do about the Gaza war.

Pop pills and give the ok for whatever the Pentagon wants to do.

So not much different than what Biden is doing, just different pills.

Suffolk county homicide police make $100k+, with unbelievable benefits. Guys later in their careers can get 200 days of paid time off per year, a very generous pension that cannot be taken away, and take home cars with gas paid for by the county.

They are unbelievably bad at homicide investigations, mostly just following hunches and beating suspects.

The problem isn't just the pay, they are rotten institutions that are beyond repair short of firing most of them at once.
