I don't know why they let him continue to lie about products for that company this long.  I remember when he said a Tesla was going to use compressed gas thrusters, and he had a lot to say about the capabilities of Semi before it quietly was pushed out and never talked about again.

Elon Musk plans to charge new X users to enable posting | TechCrunch

Elon Musk is planning to charge new X users a small fee to enable posting on social networks and curb the bot problem.

 

such a good businessman it’s no surprise to anyone why he’s the richest man alive

No quicker way to kill growth than the paywall, so will Threads or BlueSky be the successor once he finally sends this to a farm upstate to play with MySpace.

So glad the conservatives on the court are the constitutional originalists they claim to be.

People make fun of the blue checks because LOL at paying for Twitter.  He lets them hide the blue check.  Then he forces the blue check on people who don't want it but are high profile, stops letting people hide the blue check.

I think part of the issue is that people aren't actually trained (or not trained effectively) in how to be productive while working remotely. Learning some best practices for setting up a proper work space in your home (Or Starbucks or whatever, I dunno where you fuckin hippies work) can help a lot, as well as minimizing family distractions. You're always gonna have some people in unstable situations at their homes for whatever reason, but I don't think the solution is a big expensive office building to force everyone to be miserable so the few weirdos who "like" going into an office are happy. Perhaps a better solution would be a company laptop and getting your ass to a quiet place like a library or the park or working in your parked car like a creepy weirdo.

There have been times I've thought about getting a plan at one of those coworking spaces, to have someplace to go.  But holy fuck are they expensive.  Companies aren't going to subsidize that, because you might as well open an office somewhere with what those places charge.

I worked at a place that was full bright overhead lights, open floor plan, and mood music playing loudly for executive vibes on the floor (not the offices), if it wasn't music it was movies, do you know how hard it is to focus on tedious tasks when Batman is screaming "pray to me!!" blowing out your ears daily. It was super miserable to focus on anything.

There was a while where a lot of the companies wanted to feel like a scrappy startup even if they weren't.  Open plan, brick walls, ceiling open to the steel roof, could hear a pin drop from across the room thanks to the echo... if there weren't 150 other people in that room.

People have options now, the hour commute, the monthly cost for parking in the city, and expensive lunch options are not things a lot of people are wanting to go back to.  Especially when you can get on LinkedIn and scoop up a remote job.  It also didn't help that before COVID the type of people who didn't have to work in these offices were coming up with layouts for these offices.  Fuck your noisy open plan tiny workspace shit.

I wonder if there is any connection to these dogs behavior and the popularity of rescue animals.  My mom has rescued 4 dogs over the years and each one has had some sort of odd behavior. Before that they always paid good money for a puppy and the dogs grew up to be pretty great. I also encounter a lot of dogs in my travels with work. Im not surprised when I encounter a customers dog, that I think is odd or untrustworthy, and then i hear it’s a rescue. 

I think being dumped by the owner that raised them screws them up.  I had a rescue shepherd.  He was great, but definitely had some problems, if I yelled at him he'd drop and cower and I'd feel bad, I never once hit him.  He also loved cats, but hated small dogs with an otherwise uncharacteristic fury.  But he was a loyal sweet dog until the very end, as long as he didn't catch a small dog in his sightline.

I work for a New Jersey based company, I'm the only one who doesn't live there.  The Teams chat was blowing up yesterday.  Also last year I was having a call with my Indian team lecturing them on getting the tickets I assign them resolved more timely when they had to evacuate because of an earthquake, I told them to be safe and we can talk about it tomorrow, they called back 10 minutes later from the street, I felt bad.

I wonder if one of his rich benefactors starts snapping up cheap stock in a few months to pump up the price before a Trump sale.

They have one of these at the snack store of TQL Stadium in Cincinnati.  Kind of neat, but not really working makes sense in that this never became widespread.

Yes. The bridge ultimately stopped it, after all. 

I feel like the bridge may be a bit sturdier than the stuff they put in front of it.  But I gotcha, safety bridges by the bridges.

I wonder if it caused him distress to not be able point out how easy it was to commit fraud and give himself as an example.

But not where it needed to be to prevent the accident. And also, that one doesn't look massive enough to have prevented or mitigated this. 

Is anything big enough to withstand a ship that massive?

I'll be honest, when no labels popped up with him running it I was surprised he was still alive.  I thought it was older when he was Gore's running mate, I found out right before I posted that picture that he hadn't cracked 60 at that point yet.

For a company the size of Boeing, it'll probably be a pretty exhaustive CEO search and I assume they don't just want to stick some rando in there as the interim CEO. 

A rando might feel bad about their shit planes rolling out of the factory.

The abortion thing...  I guess the lesson they learned from ballot measures allowing abortion in every state it's come up is that people shouldn't be able to decide that?

Democrats need to stop letting the Republicans define the conversation.  Most Republican stances on issues are fairly unpopular with Americans, but the Democrats let them make the argument about what they want.
