Rupert† was only $60. But we have fed him for something like 8 years. So that’s a pretty large investment for a meal. And if you see my posts over on c/cooking you will know that I am always calculating the cost of a meal.

Your lab has a lot more than $500 in them. Don’t undervalue them. I don’t think lab is suitable for breakfast, lunch or brunch. Have people over for dinner and charge a reasonable amount.

† aka I wasn’t letting my wife make him Giles.

This comment, hopefully, is solidly sarcasm.

How many shell companies registered in <checks notes> Delaware do you need to throw an electric?

Delaware? That’s shell company paradise.

I did the math. At today’s gold price it works out to 623 pounds of gold. About 3.8 gallons of gold to give you a visual.

Too late

Sorry, it looks like voice to text messed up my reply. I have fixed it.

You’d probably win a suit for the termination suit

Thank you but I’m trying to quit.

Some people won’t have admin control rights to do that. And by uninstalling it you are in violation of an executive order.

So like the phones of his secret service detail? I’m waiting for it to be announced that it’ll be bundled into the Trump phone.

That app just became a national security threat. It gives out information to a non-government server. It can be exploited by foreign agents.

Just a reminder to the president, this would include his own secret service detail and their location.

Monty Python is going to sue that person for infringing on their IP. That’s Git of the Year quality right there

There was a chemical spill at a solar cell factory near here recently.

1500 gallons of bad stuff. Then a week later there was a spill of a different toxic substance there.

The best part? Look at the picture. Those white buildings are the solar factory. The red clay area in this old map is now an elementary school.

Let’s just say that people who shit bricks that the school and factory were so close together suddenly shat more bricks. Lots of people were very upset.

Bump

Instructions unclear. GPU stuck in cooling valve.

What an unfortunate thing to happen on free eggs night.

“British military says commercial carrier near Qatar caught fire after attack.”

The headline and the first sentence both indicate that this was an autonomous car that did this instead of a person. It is corrected later on but it’s still bad form in the 21st century where cars can drive them themselves.

There goes my plans for a cruise of the Four Corners area.

I started listening to Rush Limbaugh back in 92. I have always found it useful to listen to the biggest name on the conservative side so I can know what arguments are being used. Know thy enemy and all that.

Back in the day it meant tuning in at a specific time for three hours. Now we have the benefits of podcasts you can listen to whenever you want and at 2.5x speed so an hour takes 24 minutes.

I have listened to Ben for a long time. I’ve seen his attitude on Trump change. He knows that Trump has no political philosophical foundation. He knows that ethically he is just like Andrew Tate, a guy he tried to say nice things about once and failed. He used to do a segment called Good Trump Bad Trump where he would find something he agreed with Trump on and something where Trump was an idiot.

Then he stopped. Then he started fundraising for Trump. He found it harder and harder to find something negative to say about a guy he clearly loathes from an ethical base. He can still be extremely critical of the tariffs issue but on every other topic he will dance around any negative he might have.

And dancing is what he is good at. His ability to make sure he always misrepresents his opponents is amazing. Turn on any of the great dystopian radio speeches from movies or TV and he sounds exactly like them in his words. Except he has a higher pitched voice that’s never going to get him a job in Hollywood.

And he so desperately wants to be Hollywood. He is spending a lot of time and money trying to make his own TV and movie production company. He has the script movies like Run Hide Fight. The epics like whatever his king Arthur thing was, to kids programming.

And all of it starts with hammering Christian values first and then building a story around it. Even though he isn’t Christian and is constantly putting him self in danger by doing business with the dumbest and most anti-semitic people out there like Candace Owens. Because he believes that the enemy of your enemy is a potential profit center. He doesn’t realize he is feeding his enemies that will destroy him because he always thinks he is the smartest guy in the room.

I keep thinking I need to find a co-host and do a Know Rogan or Knowledge Fight version of Ben Shapiro. Because even at 2.5x speed I can dismantle his positions and know where he used to be on topics.
