I have a Google doorbell and it’s night vision is terrible. I’ve taken the garbage to the curb during the winter when it’s the darkest and the doorbell didn’t register anything not the noise not the motion. Even knowing what I was looking for I barely show up in the video feed, it looks like a ghost.

Of course there’s not a transparent cow out there. But there is a giant blue ox.

I’ll 3rd mumble. Been hosting for over a decade.

No tracking, no ads, no bloat… This does it’s one thing and does it very well.

Got it, only do four days in a row.

Oh man, that hits home… just before COVID hit, I was doing 5k’s and got injured. And I didn’t transition to a lower calorie intake to adjust to the lower physical activity. Just as I was starting to get back into the gym… COVID landed and the gym was closed. Now, I’m a fat bastard. But trying to work on that.

When I was a teen in highschool… I was in a weightlifting gym class and I did soccer. When is get home, for a snack if have a party pizza (or two). Probably went through a carton of milk myself. God my mom was so pissed. I was probably half or grocery budget alone for a few years

Use your neighbors toilet! If it doesn’t have a camera or ass-print scanner, it’ll really through off the data brokers buying up all your shit data so they can sell ads!

I’ve been on this rock for more than 30 years. I can assure you we’ve never had orange clouds. I will say sunrise and sunset do some wild things and you see some really cool colors.

I get what you’re saying but today it was -20 F. Friday was a day where you had to be aware of frostbite.

Not to be that guy… but all cheese is chemical. You’re chemicals. EVERYTHING IS CHEMICALS. Even Full Metal Alchemist got that.

I’m just so tired of misinformation, implying that one cheese that’s 100% milk is cheese, but another cheese made with that same cheese plus emulsifiers and preservatives is “THE CHEMICALS.” Call it processed, sure. But to imply you somehow have cheese that’s not chemicals… is just, fundamentally wrong.

Was that from today? I heard there was going to be a (counter?) protest today. Not exactly sure where around the MPLS area, though. Just knew a lot of people were not wanting to be in the cities today.

I remember when I first heard about him, knew nothing about him. Just some guy who owned Tesla who was open-sourcing some EV tech. That sounded great!

That’s about when it all fell apart. I learned who he was. Fired for incompetence. Fumbles basic questions (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HE_xHVYwHw8 tldr, guy asks about maglev and airbearings and Elon stumbles around a while to say… “wheels” 🤦‍♂️). He’s not now, nor has he ever been a genius. I genuinely don’t think he’s even smart by any standard. I think he’s just rich and that’s it. I remember watching videos about Hyperloop, and the engineering behind it was painfully obvious how unsafe it was going to be, and somewhere between impossible and impractical to build/maintain. Like, that idea only works on paper, or in Sci-Fi. The test track they built rusted out and was poorly secured. And it rusted out largely, because the engineers didn’t account for the water in the cement or something…

Or the Boring company. It could have been the best company if it were just called the Boring company but sold cool shit, like the flamethrower. I get the real reason behind it was to stop some public transit project, blah blah, I know, I get it, I’ve seen and heard it a million times. But the proposed idea he gave, the fact anyone looked at it, at him and was like “Yeah, this seem even remotely possible and definitely not a bat-shit crazy idea” astounds me. At best, it was a worse version of every single subway system ever invented anywhere on earth. At worse, a giant death trap machine that would make the Final Destination movies look tame.

I’ve riden on many planes, trains, and automobiles. And the only time I’ve ever felt really unsafe was in a Tesla. Poorly built, poorly designed. Yet people keep buying them. You have mechanics saying their a POS, you have tech folk saying it’s a POS, you have the news showing you it’s a POS. I don’t understand. Hell, he’s made so many claims that just haven’t happened. Vehicles that he said were coming out, “next year”…

Explaining Elon to people, it’s like explaining why “Solar freaking roadways” doesn’t work and is a stupid fucking idea.

Jinnesota 😍

I mean, his upload cadence really changed. He hasn’t posted in a year, and his last 6 videos is “1 year ago” then 8 videos “2 years ago”. Millions of views sure. But I think he largely just moved on. Also, he used to do gaming and then just started doing random things (like Flex Tape), KFC, juicing, Goop (more than once), etc.

This is the only correct answer. It’s cost. A business decision always comes down to cost. There’s nothing deeper to it than that.

That’s not an incentive for people to shop there. Grocery store prices are already bad enough. No one wants to pay extra money for a more limited selection.

You don’t become a billionaire by hard work. You exploited a lot of people, you fucked over a lot of people. If they were a billionaire but literally everyone that worked for them was a multi-millionare I’d shut up. If I made $100,000 (of current USD) for 2,000 years… I wouldn’t have made a billion dollars.

I remember when that word meant something.

Yeah, I took it as it’s a barely functional company that’s being held together by hopes and dreams. The food vendors at my local state fair do millions in sales in just a few weekends. Per Wikipedia, Sweet Martha’s Cookies in 2023 made $4.6 million in 12 days.

• they like jagermeister above all else
• Their apartment is likely messy, (they’re hoarding bottles instead of taking them to the recycling, implying not a hoarder but lack of motivation)
• They play music
• Their last play session didn’t go very good, as the guitar is broken.
