"The Honking"
That might make it less dystopia-ish. Perhaps they can rent a mod-bot from amazon.
Seriously though the first rule does suggets bots are not allowed.

Should we really be celebrating? I mean,
what if the second garbage ball returns
to Earth like the first one did?

Who cares? That won't be for hundreds
of years.
FARNSWORTH
Exactly! It's none of our concern.

That's the 20th century spirit!
"Completely" different, interesting way to put it. Diagnosis must be trivial.
Probably in their mind, but not that I'd care to pay attention; so not obvious to me.
Human beings are diverse. defining a human as "divergent" is meaningless and so fucking dumb. Psychologists seem to be really bad at statistical analysis; and/or data collection that is representative of the species. But they're maybe good at conning mugs to pay them to denigrate people who don't fit their world view, or confound their predictions.
yes, this is what makes you suspect they are bot/trolls.
If they know they need a revolution, then actually revolt - with fucking petardes and guillotines; that type of shit. If they're not ready to do that, they may as well kick trump in the balls first whilst they muster the wherewithal.
"Voting thrd party because voting is broken?! " wtf?
He's not wrong. There is a lot more money in selling hype and style, than functionality and substance. Pro's need pay.
I'm going to interpret that last "network" as that extra f-ing 50 ohm bnc terminator that you're pretty sure you don't need, until you're about to learn something about coax impedence matching.
You'd need geniune "marginal" income data not wealth to calculate that accurately. Wealth is an illusory "value" it is inflated by asset pices that mean you can only sell it slowly without potentially reducing the price. This is far less true of widely accepted ( 'liquid') assets like cash.
Their marginal value of +/-1 minute worked is probably actually very low, since most their income is "unearned". but ignore that for the sake of stupid calculation. assume they sacrifice an average amount to pick up this cash.
You can start with say roughly +$270bn over 12 years being a bit less than $50k per minute. That +270 can cover inflation adjusting the 2012 start point to crrent prices, it's in the rounding.
But even assuming they converted it all to liquid assets art once , and tank the asset price so that, instead of £50k/min the break-even might be $5k/min. very roughly i'm looking at $100 per second. That's your break even you have to get close to.
After that it's a matter of practicality, face value per bill, ordering/stacking, spread/density, and wind. Assume no tools, vacuums, or scoops, just what can be gathered by one greedy c*nt by hand.
If it's , say, a single $100 bill already at their feet, then it is probably worth it to them (or maybe handful of $100s if you prefer to think wealth = cash).
A few $20s? probably; if they could gather 5x$20s per second and reach the break even rate - seems doable if the density is there. $10s or lower? I doubt it - unless the cash was neatly stacked or bundled.
But, suppose they were put on to an effectively infinite but random mess of $1 bills; I dont think it's worth it to them. I don't think they could physically gather it fast enough. Plus at scale, they'd have overhead costs to store, transport, bundle , count it and then wait in line at the bank and other such indignities.
If it was more like this: https://youtu.be/YEbs0RUyksI?t=363 then no chance.
no bombing no smoking no petting
It's a handy way to know what to avoid.
But why don't pubs seem to know that? Most pubs these days hav become lemon parties.
I totally made that up by the way so don't rely on it at all with actual Germans.
Don't forget their neighbour with numbers like "quatre-vingt-dix-sept" though, I think theres a reason for so many renowned French mathematicians.
I don't know what a "synapse link" is i'm sure we'd not be allowed access to that; though I can think of at least one manager who would have parrotted that for a few monts if they'd heard it; "data lake" was also one of those for a while, it seems to have given way to "lakehouse" now. I just want to put on concrete boots, jump off the boat and hope it's deep enough.
It's that scaling distotion on the two side-by-side plans that does it for me.
These shoeboxes come with some magical feng-shui thing that makes 20ft appear to be the same as 30ft.
"cost" or "price"? If a high price isn't clearing a market . . . something uncompetetive is probably happening.
It's student accomodation - short term , probably ok for youths for whom sharing with strangers as part of the "experience".
That's no place for putting down roots, or for a full time worker. It's not a bad idea in principle - i agree. But each unit should be 2-3 times the size and include a private shower room, toilet. and at least a small kitchenette. And the conversion should be nominally permanent - i.e. require a plaanning application to reverse.
That plan doesnt even have a washbasin/water supply. My guess is they want to cheap out on plumbing - hence the communal bathroom and kitchen. So that it is reversible back to office space - they're not building a home if they want it reversible - it's temporary "accomodation". No good for a lasting comunity. I'd want this type of accomodation to be no more than a few percent of the homes in an area.
To me the fact they scaled down the plan of the "traditional studio" to make their plan look bigger betrays the fact that these are disingenuous salespeople not actually interested in making viable homes for people.
edit: It's also fine for housing the homeless - no argument there, but I'd hope for them a pathway to adequate long term accomodation.
hard-boiled hexegg. It's better in German, hartgekoctsechsei.
edit - ignore me, I thoght it was a half dozen - add a doppel in there maybe.
For me, at work it's more MS sharepoint and MS dynamic (+oracle clod shit of course) that fk me over on a daily basis - that's possibly due to the way our IT people don't seem to know how to use them or set them up - and won't let us query(just SELECT) the dynamics tables directly using SQL for whatever reason. (i suspect we have to pay MS to acces our own data). And of course things like MS excel being used to mangle data by default all the time - yeah i know always use power query import . . . just everything takes six extra steps and the easy way is always the worst way.
W10 is mostly okay. I mean it's slow and hard to use, blasts the cpu fan all the time, is still annoying with updates, and I have to "right click open with" to open anything in the application that i want (even when there is only one native appllication for the file format). You get used to working around that shit.
That is just not true for sharepoint and other MS apps, it gets worse, and as soon as you think you get used to a workaround for one thing, something else changes or an old thing resurfaces. and dynamic has just "upgraded" the colour scheme of the status colum so that there is no contrast between the background and the text. black text on white background, good enough for every other column, but no upgrade that one to black on dark blue, thanks bill you're a F-ing-C. how do they screw up things like that as a bajillion dollar company.
So I was going to say that W10 is more or less stable and it is other MS stuff that I hate more. that is probably true. but actually sitting down and writing out the above, W10 is still pretty horrible to . . . whether it's our IT or MS itself, it's shit.
I much prefer my home linuxes, it is just as stable (for me) - and just so much easier to use - and most of all it is quieter on the fan. So much more relaxing.
W11 had better be "not worse" or i'll probably have to quit.
If I were god I might do all sorts of shit to test the supposed intelligence of my creations. That might include including telling them "do some pointless thing, or else".
It might interest me to see if they're capable of reasoning or testing to determine that the task is pointless and the threat is empty. Probably not, but its hilarious for them to think they matter to me; It's like a videogame to me.
It only takes 6 days for me to start whole a new game. I'm probably bored of it long before now or at least well ino my hundred and somethingth play-through light-years away. I prefer keeping the dinosaurs because they're way cooler than humans.
Theres a yutube called robwords who sells this tshirt
