10·15 days agoI put the lawyers under Oracle since they are the physical manifestation of the corporation. Think of Oracle as “crack” and Oracle Sales as “crack dealers”. Each horrible in their own special way.
The only thing worse than Oracle are Oracle sales people.
Ops is like Hotel California.
Soon it will be like Cyberpunk (the 1980s TTRPG) predicted. Blocks of those giant office buildings will be gobbled up by megacorps dor pennies and turned into complexes where corpos live, work and play in absolute luxury while everyone else rots right outside of the gates.
I see that it is also a hard drive.
Ah. So this isn’t a tragedy, it’s a write off.
Why? Asking because I know nothing of the area.
I read the article and that headline is clickbait as fuck. The tl;dr was that the US sent ships but…
It wasn’t deterring the Houthis and it wasn’t reassuring shipping so they might as well go and do something else.
Anybody that has ever tried to picnic outside knows that all it takes is a handful of persistent mosquitoes to ruin the whole thing and have the entire party pick up their gear and move it indoors.
6·2 months agoI changed every link in my posts, then deleted every post, replaced every comment with excerpts from literature in the public domain, then replaced the modified comments with gibberish before deleting them. Was that enough? No, but still better than allowing Reddit to profit from me without any effort. If they want my shit, they’ll have to pull from archive, and even then it might be a bit of Moby Dick.
I make myself a vegan jalapeño-cheddar breakfast sausage sandwich.
Since that is all that I eat, and three of the components are expensive, I wait until they go on sale and buy the entire stock within a twenty minute drive radius. The three expensive components often sell for ~$6 per pack but each goes on sale for ~$3.50 fairly often.
I fire roast the fresh jalapeños myself.
“Refusal” LOL
I am now privileged to be able to afford the price hikes, but I grew up poor. I just cannot stomach the current prices because I remember the value of money. Most people do not have a choice in the matter.
If I where to guess, people are paying for what they have to and REALLY want. Everything else is quickly losing value. I would not be surprised if some of the products that jacked prices up do not see their customers returning once the prices come back down. They made the cardinal sin of forcing consumers to ask themselves if they really need or want their product.
I have eaten the same thing for breakfast every day for two years. Other than two products, everyone else priced themselves out of my refrigerator permanently. Lunch is down to a handful of things too.
$2 trillion did not get wiped out. People sold high and left everyone else holding the bag. This is a casino.
Oh, I know. I meant that we had to take courses on older languages as part of the curriculum. That was a funky little college program. The oddest experience for me was taking Python back in the day as the “new thing” then not seeing it again until it absolutely exploded ~10 years ago. That program is also why I ended up playing with Linux so early on. The professors truly seemed to have a passion for emerging technologies while not wanting anyone to forget what came before. Thankfully, no punch cards.
In college back in 1991. Also had to do PASCAL and FORTRAN but thankfully those two were in a single course.
Oh no. The no gifting rule is also in effect. It was his own political campaign.
This basically the premise to Richard Pryor’s movie “Brewster’s Millions” except that one of the rules was that you cannot buy or own anything. At the end of the month you must have spent the money and have nothing to show for it.
The answer is politics. Spend it all on a political campaign.
…people told the NYT.
Here we go again with this shit.
I’ll read the article in a moment. Right now I am here to acknowledge the adorableness of the thumbnail.
