FUCK YES

That is 100% a chatbot using a regex email validator someone wrote as a meme that the chipotle dev copied from stack overflow without context.

I bet doubling the pay for everyone striking would cost a lot less than 300-500M a year.

That's just unfair. You're completely discounting this list of excellent, well supported software products created by legacy car companies:

Jim Cummings voiced literally everyone from every show ever. That's cheating.

That's because the 10% of people they thought it was ok to fuck over were providing 90% of the non-entertainment value.

From the U.S. Coast Guard press release:

Initial engineering calculations indicate potential volume of crude oil that could have been released from the affected pipeline is 1.1 million gallons.

So yeah, no one can go out there with a bucket and measure it, but that's probably a safe estimate.

This is a wild story.

Analysis from 2018 here:

https://corpgov.law.harvard.edu/2018/05/22/elon-musks-compensation/

So when they gave him this, Tesla was worth about 60 Billion. They said if you ~10x the company, well give you what amounts to roughly 10% of the company in stock. Regardless of what part he played, or what stock price says about company value, at it's height in 2021 Tesla was worth 1 trillion, overshooting the most ridiculous targets by almost 70% (the worth at that point would have been 17x what it was in 2018).

On the one hand, it's just all so ridiculous that I don't think anyone saw that actually happening, which is probably why they voted for it. On the other hand, I'm glad he lost it because the sooner Tesla != Musk the better and this feels like a decent wedge for driving that separation. I wonder if this means they have to adopt a revised compensation plan or something.

Get your ass to that hospital, money be damned!!

This sounds very serious. At this point, you need to decide if you want to live and possibly be paying medical debt off for a while, or die.

Definitely put up a go fund me, but SWEET JESUS don't let the thought of medical debt drive you to what is essentially suicide.

Google tells me this:

Medical bills are generally classified as nonpriority unsecured debts, and they're a type of debt most likely to be discharged, or wiped clean, in a bankruptcy.

A bankruptcy follows you for a decade or less, so worst case, declare bankruptcy.

Equestrification sounds terrible.

When there's a meeting and some higher up says "We need FOO to do BAR", and the middle manager glances over at the tech lead to answer, they're gonna say "I'll see what $CURRENT_PROVIDER has to offer." Then the middle manager will interject "Ah, and we'll check $COMPETITOR[0] to see if we can save some cash".

Those ads are aimed at making sure IBM is in the zeroeth index of the middle managers COMPETITOR array.

(Also making sure people who currently use IBM feel good about themselves)

I love the way you think.

Put gunner's nests on the train, B-52 style.

Advertise the shit out of that job.

We'll have republicans building trains between neighborhoods by the end of the year.

You'd be amazed. They've directly or indirectly been contributors to open source pretty much since open source was a thing.

Plus, you probably use several services that use IBM. Much like AWS, they aim to be a silent integral part of the infra and utilities of as many companies as possible. Lots of government involvement as well

I choose to believe this means 30% of them are dead now.

It is! This is a year old remake of a 2017 meme, seemingly by the same person. There's a video too

Republican feelings. About anything really.

Well the house is functionally incapacitated at the moment, so it's ability to fuck things us across the globe is minimized.

So,at least for a little while, it's a non functional congress.

Leaving

Leaving will help you in Houston.

At least we agree that it's mostly the shitheads that are the problem, not so much the hobby. I'm pretty sure this shithead would have killed his wife if his hobby was hiking or cosplay too.

Ever hear the story of the nuclear boy scout? Now thats a hobby no one should be allowed to have.

Your assumption that an Ad must be to sell a thing is false.

IBM engages in brand campaigns to simply get their name out there as a company that can do anything you need.

These people definitely exist, and 1/3 of the time they find each other.

That's the best laundry joke I've read all week.

Like his suit is the only thing keeping all manner of pure evil from bursting forth and wriggling all over the podium?

Yes, very creepy vibes.

I had my "Musk gets European prison time" money on Germany getting him for bolstering Nazi shit on Twitter, but this is an interesting twist.

On a Tesla, you can use the wallet card, phone app, or a key fob. The wallet card comes with the car, but if you want a key fob you have to buy it separately. The app is free and does not require a subscription.

GM's OnStar + app on the other hand...yikes.

Oof. I managed to dodge a bullet on this one. I preordered it,but never received it / was never charged.

I picked one up for like $5 when they were fire selling them. I've used it like 4 times.

I wonder if this statement might end up getting him Alex Jones'd.

I'm so fucking tired of these personality cult leaders and their brainwashed gold farms. They should be held accountable for the toxic waste they screw out into the world.

by this definition, full human driving isn't real.
