Dude "solar city'd" sold it to himself again. Pulled the same move with the falling solarcity company his cousins were running into the ground and saddled tesla with its dysfunction. He was a huge shareholder in it, and opted to spread out his losses to all Tesla shareholders.
Dude sold twitter, which he owned 80% of, to Xai, a company he owned 52% of, and apprently the financials were hilariously cooked as expected. Those 48% share holders in Xai that aren't that fuckhead just got hilariously hosed.
I've made it. It's easy, one pan, and comes out of the oven like a dream. The potatoes have that great chicken fat flavor, but also the funky, savory heat of the gochijang.
Bikeshedding is when instead of making important, compex decisions that have consequences for being wrong, someone focuses on the simple, low impact, minimally important part of a project that has no consequences if its fucked up.
I think the term comes from construction projects where instead of finalizing the design of a complex building, the execs spend the entire time talking about bike parking on site. What color to have the roof, how many bikes it should hold, etc.
Bikeshedding is about offloading responsibility while still feigning involvement. You, the owner, avoid the whole part of your job youre paid for, i.e "making the hard decisions" and through misdirection and inaction, make someone else do it. That way you can blame them later if things go wrong, or take credit for their work if they go right.
China is by far the world's largest installer of renewables. They are outpacing the rest of the world combined.
They are also the largest installer of dirty power like coal/oil. Ideally, and it sure looks like it from their recrbt power investments, they view coal/etc as stop gaps.
He wasent stealing it, the federation kindly didn't charge rent for utilities or for repairs. Sisko used that as leverage on him in "the bar association."
Quark is summoned to the captain's office, where Sisko tells him that he wants the strike ended and things back to normal, so Quark is to sit down with Rom and hammer out an agreement by the end of the day. Quark says that Sisko doesn't understand; merely talking to a union violates the core aspects of Ferengi culture. Sisko says that he may not understand Ferengi culture, but he does know who holds the lease on Quark's – the Federation. The Federation has been extremely lenient, not charging Quark for rent, repairs, or the large amount of power the bar requires but that ends today. Sisko then reads off a list of things Quark owes; five years back rent, maintenance requests and the drain on the station's power. After some quick calculations, Sisko asks Quark if he knows how much latinum that is. Quark pales, says that it is a lot, and agrees to talk to his brother.
Angels described in the bible aren't people with pretty bird wings. They are oscillating, intersecting ribbons of eyes and feathers, pulsing and shifting and glowing.
At the same time, a lot of the most famous YouTubers/etc are also deeply formulaic. They copy the same trends, use the same formats, and post the same kind of videos.
Gaming YouTubers flock to the same game at the same time or just play the ones that get big views like minecraft/etc, cooking youtubers are all doing "viral remakes" or "rate these 45 types of chicken nugget" or "eat the menu" videos/etc.
There are always solid people doing their own thing, but the social media zeitgeist is just recycled, low effort, high engagement garbage, just like netflix.
Im calling out Abrams habit of dumping unsolvable "mysteries" in his work as cheap bait to maintain engagement instead of building cohesive stories that engage based on merit. He does this with every single property he works on, and once you see it you cant unsee it.
Its the same garbage Moffat did with Dr. Who/sherlock/etc. Besides a small scattering of standout episodes, his shows are inane, plotless garbage full of "mysteries" that have no pay off at all. Hbomberguy has a long but excellent video about this.
You should read the link i posted. I goes more indepth with the growing issue in entertainment media.
