@rcbl @NoahGarfinkel Now you are just cribbing. Sounds like you are proposing “two’s company”.

I think they have a shot at love this Christmas in theaters only.
Brandon@LibOrNormal
Do you think they have a shot at winning?!

@NoahGarfinkel Attn @rcbl ! Tell me that this does not have sitcom gold written all over it!

@Lileks @rcbl I was just listening to the latest @Ricochet pod when you brought up chip fabs.
I believe you’re mistaken.
#TSMC has 1 fab running, 2nd complete, plans for at least 2 more on hug piece of land in north Phoenix. Intel has had fabs in Phoenix for decades, and is super-sizing them now.
Fabs need scale, giant scale. They use electricity and water, and cryogenic gases. They don’t waste a lot of chemicals for masking, doping, or etching like in the 70s. It’s too expensive.
Chip fabs are now in a phase of derisking: political risk, earthquake risk, financial risk.

@sammandel @FieldyAI You know, I honestly can't remember why I bought it in the first place -- all I can see now is the red fog of rage at the stupid plastic useless device that doesn't work -- but for IRS purposes, yes it was a business expense.

@coachhockley It does a great job of cutting through the noise, if by "noise" you mean the noise something makes when it's actually working.
English
@rcbl But, but, but you get to wear that fancy watch or pendant 🤣 & as they claim “cut through the noise”….. Only thing is, life & especially comedy often happen in & with a lot of “noise”👍😉
Hope all else is well…….

@Tracelator @FieldyAI I'm just a simple man. But if I can save one potential buyer of this useless item, I guess you could use that term.
English
@Tracelator @FieldyAI Exactly. And I should have known. But I'm making it my mission to warn the others! It's like that old documentary "Scared Straight" but for wearable AI devices. Just don't do it.
English
@az_morlock @FieldyAI Well, who knows? But in the case of this device and this company, it's a whole lotta A and not even a trace of I.

This is a beautiful tribute to Catherine O'Hara by @rcbl

@AprilPonnuru Well, they don’t knight you, but you often get a really nice free lunch. It used to be a very lucrative occupation, but not so much these days. If you can, gently guide your son into learning to love the world of quantitative financial investing.

My 7 year-old son asked me why I write jokes. I told him about speechwriting, and then I told him that some people, comedy writers, write jokes all day. His eyes lit up. "That's a job, coming up with funny things to say? Do they knight you to become one of those?"

@bendreyfuss @HartWexford Okay, so he sewed some idiotic appliqués on it. In my day, I saw a lot of outerwear with "Echo and the Bunnymen" ironed on. Let's all simmer down.
English
@bendreyfuss @HartWexford It's a Polo Coat. Because I am a menswear nerd I have one in navy and one in grey. Also: so did Cary Grant, a famous Nazi.
English
I am willing to run down the supply chain of this coat for a bet that makes it worth it. I will bet either $5k or $10k. I a:not going to do it for Twitter but if someone wants to make a real bet, I will put in the time and prove my point. (Or pay the loss)
