Ah, you’re back

Peter Rosenthal is the GOAT. His reviews for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Captain America Civil War, and Avengers Age of Ultron are just a few reasons why.

Looks very relaxing and peaceful. Some of my favorite camping trips have been in the eastern Sierras.

This is what I try to tell people who just want the cheapest things possible. We’re voting with our dollars what kind of world we want.

Also, shipping things across the sea burns some of the worst fuel for the environment so I’d rather buy things made here and support the local economy whenever possible.

MSFT has a $3T market cap and $60B of free cash flow each year, so I doubt they’re hurting for money. This is how “growth at all costs” incentivizes myopic decision-making and doesn’t really help foster an environment where studios are willing to take creative risks. Even when they succeed (a la Hi-Fi Rush) they’re on the perpetual chopping block.

Brakes just slow you down anyway…

“The layoffs will continue until morale improves”

$6.4B for HashiCorp on the heels of $4.6B for Apptio and $34B for Red Hat back in 2018. I wonder how long until they expect each of these acquisitions to be accretive?

Recently moved over to porkbun after dealing with a couple billing issues with namecheap and not getting the best customer service. Been pretty happy so far.

They also recently won a deal with Rakuten Mobile to supply RAN equipment in Japan

Kyoto is a magical city, rain or shine

The music alone is 🔥

Petting my dog now, have to agree with Charlie

100%. Seems like phones continually get worse under the guise of “progress”. No more headphone jack or removable battery, more bloated software, anti-privacy assistants/AI. Switched to a Sony Xperia for the headphone jack alone and it’s been great, I hope they don’t follow this AI trend or else I’m out.

That’s awesome. Loved JSRF, used to play it just for the soundtrack

Those are rookie numbers, gotta pump those up. First world ballers are working 140+ hours/week. /s

The one dealership that didn’t have a markup near us sold out immediately and we ended paying a slight markup at another place, but after all the incentives and trade-in it was a steal.

We love our EUV, I don’t think I’ll go back to an ICE car after seeing how convenient home charging is and one-pedal driving is great.

That’s a bummer. Was interested to see what a Honda EV with ultium cells would be like. A sub-$30k EV is what a lot of people are looking for, judging from my experience buying a Bolt. Hope they can figure out the unit-economics
