@inkblotistan yes sir
live quietly away from other people and keep the lil’ ones warm and safe
is the dream

I feel like I shouldn't social ever, whenever I do I get people-fatigue. There are rare and few people who give more than they take and I enjoy being with them. Unfortunately most are black holes. I will.make my own nation, this was always the plan, just me and Rooftop Kitten, but you're all welcome to visit for a while.

@Ye_Olde_Holborn i've had polite scaffolders twice in a month. sign of the End Times

@AscendedYield …at almost any cost. it was hard to differentiate worthwhile investment from british-leyland-type money pits.
poll tax was a mistake.
housing policy wasn’t great but again - only so much is possible and the major existential issue was dismantling socialist power bases
English
@AscendedYield given the constraints of wets she played a blinder. amazing job.
in hindsight it was unfortunate to lose so much industrial capacity and throw away world leading tech eg nuclear, rail.
but so much money had been thrown at industrial disasters, and unions had to be dismantled…

Maybe I need to be in South America, idk. I'm happy where I am. But there's a version of me leading a cult a beautiful land somewhere. Another is breeding giant war penguins in Antarctica. Perhaps one in a cave somewhere working on a manuscript that will inspire future emperors. I can even feel a version in a mountain bunker with his finger on the button. This version is feeding a cat in West Asia.

@jeff82874662 @eigenrobot idk, it makes it cheaper to be public, and it’s supposed to be good to encourage companies to list?
it’s be nice to think investors might tolerate considering the future more than 3 weeks out but i doubt it will change that
English
This seems like an unambiguously bad idea
What am I missing here

BREAKING: The Securities and Exchange Commission is preparing a proposal to eliminate the quarterly earnings report requirement and instead give companies the option to share results twice a year, per WSJ

@anomalyuk The marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation defines a robot as “Your Plastic Pal Who’s Fun to Be With.”

Asking an llm to steel man an argument you don’t believe in produces a much more useful and persuasive text than any person on twitter who advocates for the position in question

@inkblotistan no one with a soul would say that about this precious baby

@PeterLBrandt @grimetime69 the brazilians seem to do fine on ethanol as the entire damn fuel with no gasoline at all…
English
@grimetime69 Well, sir, enjoy that $10 per gal gas
Are you aware that everyone in the U.S. currently use 15% ethanol????
Probably not. Not sure you are aware of your navel
English
Corn will eventually trade at $13
Beans will eventually trade at $27
Maybe not this decade, but someday
Corn ethanol is a fuel
My truck (Nissan) is approved for flex-fuel (FFV)
It can run on gas that is 80% corn ethanol

@patio11 using a european visa or mc in the usa has gone wrong for me in so many hilarious ways. i have Stories.
English
This genre of unintended consequence is fairly frequent in anti-fraud implementations, and when you tell regulators/legislators that, they say obviously it won’t happen because businesses would lose money.
(I have no knowledge of this specific purchasing pathway.)

Learning the hilarious fact that you can't buy tickets to the Louvre with American credit cards because of a unique European anti-fraud system Well played, frogs, well played
English
@inkblotistan yeah basically
you know what you're doing quite a bit better by the second one.
English
@eigenrobot i think the default for europe is it falls under russian influence.
this isn’t an anti-russia or russian conspiracy statement, just a “who is nearby and still independent?” one
uk is caught in the middle in an interesting way.
English
like I don't think anyone seriously expects the uk or canada to suddenly exhibit autonomous power as the US recedes
its been so long i doubt anyone there, or any of their institutions, remembers how
japan probably different. maybe france, although im betting theyre cooked too
English
another thing i somewhat expect to happen as the west collapses is that many american client states, having been client states for ages and having ossified accordingly, will probably be fought over by other powers hoping to become their new suzerain

@phoneyman i thought the chinese owned the liberals and the indians owned the conservatives, is that an oversimplification?
English
@AscendedYield i don’t smear the screen like a fucking animal. nevertheless after several years it is kinda gross.
can’t see it when it’s on though so wgaf
English
I seriously don’t understand what kind of activity will lead you to touch your screen that much
Aditya@adityadotdev
The biggest problem with MacBooks.
English
@Ye_Olde_Holborn Hmmm. Interesting.
Strong agree from me it needs to consolidate for a while - I'm a bit scared of how strong it's stayed after dropping back, nothing like poor soggy old BTC.
English
@Ye_Olde_Holborn don't these things underperform the underlying *a lot* in rising markets?

>>> I reckon where we’re now this is a useful instrument ~ Gold with a chunky yield paid monthly ~ I should buy some more.
The ETP option sellers seem to have accidentally blundered onto something sensible. $GLDE.L $GLDI.L
If you wanted to be really clever you could range trade this add at the bottom trim at the top to juice it a bit more

@Kacper_PK_CH they did a significant hike to capital gains tax so a lot of people sold to pay the old low rate.
revenue pulled forward from the future.
