  • Me either, but I'm sure that famously litigious Trump didn't threaten to sue them if they continued posting bad numbers like he's threatened anyone who hurt his feelings.

  • X1 used to give 3 points and my buddy's rental house charged a 2 and change percent fee. He could only get full point values certain places so he'd save up all the points and that was his Christmas fund. He'd bank $600/yr ( about $500 real dollars from paying the transaction fee plus the extra hundred-ish bucks in points he'd get for free). They recently went to a 1.5 point model but kept the restrictions on where you could spend to get the full point value. Guess what card of his never gets used now.

  • The AI boom is so huge it’s causing shortages everywhere else The $700 billion AI spending spree has few precedents. Good luck finding an electrician or a reasonably priced smartphone.

  • I mean we're (we as in local taxpayers, not me personally in this case) already paying for the infrastructure they use in increased bills. We're paying for their tax holidays while they're talking about all the new jobs they'll bring (lots of short term construction, 25-50 long term employees once the tax holiday runs out, so very little money in the local economy). We (all of us) are paying the price for the mothballed coal plants that are coming back online to support them. We are paying for federal government contracts on them.

    It's corporate welfare all the way down.

  • Bellville is an hour west of Houston in a town of 5000. Houston has several very large venues that could host festivals. Either it was so poorly planned that they didn't get any of them on time, the attendance is expected to be so low that the venues wouldn't deal with them, or they're trying to stay out of the mainstream spotlight because they're embarrassed about something.

    It's still close enough that people from Houston, especially on the west side, could easily go, but there's got to be a reason they went an hour west instead of up in The Woodlands at Cynthia Woods or right in the middle of everything at Toyota or even a smaller place like White Oak Music Hall.

  • It is important. Extreme austerity kills the soul. We couldn't afford an envelope haha.

    I think the worst one, worse than electricity getting cut off (we had well water so at least we could go manually pump), worse than half a bar s bologna sandwich every day for a while, was the time my dad got a decent check but we didn't have the money to get gas to go cash it. We had to live on beans (who has two thumbs and nearly shits himself inside out every time he eats more than a spoonful of beans? This guy) for two days while we waited for a family member to get back in town to lend dad a few bucks to get gas to drive into town.

    I guess my point was that I had no idea how to budget because the only thing I ever saw was survival, not real budgeting. But then I got lost in an ADHD trip down memory lane.

  • It stops now

  • I grew up so poor that there was no such thing as a budget. It was just prioritizing what was necessary for survival and if anything was left over you spent it immediately because it was getting taken one way or another. The math class where they taught us to budget in school was only for people who weren't very good at math. And that's why I didn't learn how to budget until I was almost 30.

  • I would assume that the texture of the onion is part of the appeal. So if you grill it you've got to either toast the bread or add a few chips to get that crunch.

  • I mean, yeah.

    However, in this particular case I think the CEO was running this as a pump and dump for nearly a decade, claiming to be fully funded and having no board (because he claimed it was self funded), and giving himself massive raises year over year.

    So a private equity firm bought something hollow. I have some guesses about it. Probably a friend of his, probably got it cheap, and is about to gut whatever is left now that the guy who did own it got out with what he could. Why would PE buy it otherwise? There's no goodwill or name to cash in on like what's being done with Native Instruments.
