@mattyglesias I went to a Dartmouth party once where they were using actual paddles to play beer pong. Psychotic.

Real Ivy Leaguers call it Beirut

Caleb Williams was not expecting the snap here 😂. @SickosCommittee

Stephen Curry and #Warriors going thru shootaround at CalTech in Pasadena, ahead of tonight’s game vs Clippers

@RobotDeathSquad Rigetti quantum computing. They just went public via spac

Even knowing this is pure R&D still somewhat unsettling to see a $54M loss on $735k of revenue

@didip Yeah especially since Santa Monica is just as expensive as SF

@jdeerhake That’s a disgustingly low salary.

@RobotDeathSquad Such an easy pitch. "Sure it's a terrible work culture in the middle of a crisis, but at least the salary isn't competitive"

@patmaddox @RobotDeathSquad Don't think so, no. Just needs a dedicated ethernet line to connect it to the switch. Although for max speed I would recommend a dedicated router/gateway and separate AP(s). Under powered consumer WiFi+routers can easily be a bottleneck

@patmaddox @RobotDeathSquad Sounds like that would be convenient, yeah. I had a closet that was dedicated to a water heater tank which I wanted to replace with tankless anyway. So I did that and refinished that closet and added a media enclosure to terminate the ethernet (+fiber and cable)

@RobotDeathSquad @patmaddox I DIY'd mine in the crawl space + attic. Was easier than I expected and only spent about $400 on it (excluding the new switch I needed after...)

@seldo Chase f’ed up my property tax payment a few years ago - I called to complain that I didn’t like it and they immediately closed the account and sent me a check. Highly recommended.

When you take out a mortgage, your bank may not trust you to be responsible enough to pay your own property taxes and insurance. They therefore make you pay extra money into an "escrow account", where they keep it so they can send the wrong amount to the wrong company every year.

@SwiftOnSecurity They’re a surprisingly serious player in the race to build a quantum computer

Honeywell is basically Umbrella Corp that everybody thinks makes space heaters

@sallykuchar This one in my neighborhood in Pasadena just went for $437k over asking. I bought a place here last fall and it was nothing like this. redfin.com/CA/Altadena/18…

I guess I'm a sadist so let's talk about California residential real estate. Did you know it's bonkers? Like just completely bananas. Let's look at some examples.

@RobotDeathSquad You'd think since every single block of the greater LA area has so much historical character that it would be a more attractive city
