It’s not about diarrhea?!
I’m somewhat ashamed to admit it, but back before he did “The Apprentice”, I’ll admit I was somewhat fascinated by Trump as a business “mogul”. I read at least 5 of his books starting with “Art of the Deal”. Here are some highlights I remember:
He constantly bragged about deals in which he completely fucked someone over. Not once did he acknowledge it - at all. It’s like it never entered his mind. Or, that the more he fucked someone over, the more proud he was.
He bragged about never preparing for speeches. He likes to completely wing it every time - which I guess is obvious.
He claimed to never eat lunch. Too busy “making deals” he said.
He used to be very good friends with the Clintons. Went to their parties often. Spoke very highly of them.
Didn’t mention Jeffrey Epstein at all. You know, like all those pictures of them together might have been a secret?
Talked about times when he was flat broke or in the hole and how he needed to fake that he was rich to keep up appearances so people would want to do deals with him. I remember one paragraph where he was walking into a building in NY with Ivanka and pointed out a homeless person and told her “See that man. He has more money than me.”
Long before he entered politics, based on those books, I knew Donald Trump was a despicable piece of shit.
With AI based routing, the switches will use AI to read the destination IP, look it up in the routing table, and send the traffic there. It’s the same as it was before, but AI. Also, it will occasionally hallucinate and send your traffic to someone else.
His supporters certainly don’t mind an awful lot of racism though.
I think they leaked this themselves:
“The Projects” is a term used to describe government provided (or subsidized) housing for poor people. The term is generally used to indicate “a place in a city where income is low and crime is usually high”.
The javelin was officially redesigned in 1986 to limit its distance to keep it in the field, and to ensure it doesn’t land flat. They are likely only counting post-redesign throws.
The consultancy I used to work for in the late 90s would have crucified any developer that didn’t write “a data abstraction layer that allows you to pop off the original db and substitute a different one later”.
How many times in my 25 year career have I swapped out the database (and been thankful for such an abstraction layer)? 0 times.
No way I’m taking bribes from “Big Antifa”!
This portal is a dumb idea, but most developers know you don’t let on when a hack is attempted and you detect it. It’s common to return a “success” message in hopes the “hacker” stops trying and moves on. Meanwhile, you log the attempt (and don’t actually cancel a voter registration).
Though, I don’t have high hopes the state actually built a secure site here.
Obviously, we’re dealing with a next-level political mind here:
You mean by people disagreeing with me on points I never made?
Dear Mr. High & Mighty, I’ve actually seen all those things - on UL certified devices.
But again, not my point. My point was a lamp isn’t complicated enough for the UL to charge so much that the price goes up 10x. If they are charging that much, there should be tons of competitors trying to get a piece of that pie. If they aren’t charging alot, then many of the products on Amazon, that are often certified by authorities in other countries, would also get UL certified. It has all the hallmarks of a racket.
That’s not really the point I was going for. I’m not saying bad companies won’t make shit products. I’m just pointing out a lamp doesn’t require alot of effort for the UL to certify, so it can’t justify a 10x increase in cost. But they must be charging a ton or more companies would just get their products certified.
Maybe unpopular opinion, but I’m on the fence about this. I slightly subscribe to the conspiracy theory that many “certified” products are just ways to stifle competition while also justifying higher prices for “certified” products.
Take UL listed electronics for example. Sure, that might mean something on a full computer full of electronics, but a lamp is two fucking wires and a bulb. It’s not complicated. Even confirming proper metals are used to prevent shrinking and expansion is not complicated. But the same $15 lamp is $100 once it’s UL certified. The math doesn’t add up.
Like I said: On the fence. Maybe it’s the best way to ensure safe products, but it also seems like a great system for lining specific peoples pockets.
EDIT: Jesus people, read my post before you get all triggered. I’m not saying shit products don’t exist.
At all mine, they’ll only have the other roasts you mention for a few hours in the morning. I’m usually away from home when I want my noon, 3pm, or 7pm coffee.
I haven’t gone to Starbucks for a regular coffee since they changed to only serving Pike’s Place Roast (like 10+ years ago).
It should tell them something when you go to the grocery store, Starbucks is on sale, and they are out of Breakfast Blend, House Blend, and Veranda Blend, but they have full shelves of fucking Pike’s. There are several gas station brand coffees better than that swill.
You’ll be amongst the last against the wall!
That must be something else because he was charged with 83 counts of attempted murder. 1 for each passenger.
