I think learning loss is truly the burden of the learner and the parent. People learn things they are interested in outside of regulated school. If no one fosters intellectual curiosity, that is on them. Perhaps adults and children are too fat, happy and too easy to amuse… so they deserve the natural consequences of decadence

Well, as a legal secretary in the early 1990s… I had to type things in triplicate (pressure printed on my typewriter…)

Whoa… I am an old shit who does miss her electronic typewriter that actually produced a product in real time without having to rely on cloud/blueshit connections. but okay, since you probably have not had a real time experience… it is reasonable that you don’t relate. Understand… everytime I try to print post op instructions at work, my computer can’t figure out what printer to send it to so I have to select one out of like 30 printers it lists. This is not convenient nor helpful.

I would just be happy to not have to delete 25 IT email notifications about downtimes and fixes every other day. Like WTF do I even have to care about that shit? Just make my work email actually functional vs a dumpster of shit dumped on me.

When Trump is gone, we need to Nuremburg and aggressively FTC those assholes. And raise their taxes to 90%. GTFO of here.

what pisses me off about this whole AI bullshit bubble are the higher energy prices I am being charged for their data centers. It moved me to purchase shares in National grid to hedge this shit.

Oh, the guy who intimated that the US gov will have to bail their asses out because their futures were TBTF. I will be happy to see that guy in prison for his pyramid schemes.

I am with you man… going to the fire sales, second hand all the way. Even now… all my holiday purchases are secondhand, ebay, thrift, flea market purchases. Fuck the corporations.

they can be adapted, and will be in order to sell them.

woo hoo! I am thinking about the tower of my son’s gaming computer who’s nvidia card died… and they were total dicks about replacing it. I can’t wait to buy a better one at a major loss to them off ebay.

I really miss the time we just considered Nvidia as a great source for graphics cards on our gaming computers.

Nah, we would just get great bargain basement prices on GPUs.

I sold off my Nvidia stock about 3-4 weeks ago in the effort of divesting myself of all the AI futures. I also had sold off Amazon, MS, Intel, etc. (I never owned Tesla). With the money I bought Berkshire Hathaway, med tech/pharm stocks and stock of my local energy supplier since they hiked my rates those MFers, as well as a chip corp opening a fab here. Also can’t go wrong with MC. I keep away from crypto and consider AI a poison pill… worse than the real estate bubble in the early 2000s. Just want to say, I am not a huge investor… I just decided to buy stocks instead of shoes cuz they take up less space and tend to increase in value vs lose value. No one sells their shoes.

I also moved some money into European and Asian stocks.

LOL… as opposed to using Roman numerals? WTAF. I can’t even comprehend the stupid.

Drinking unpasteurized milk is a great way to get TB among other things. Children who drink unpasteurized milk get the Bovine TB which infects the bones (spine, long bones, and joints), Another type of TB that primarily affects the spine is known as Potts disease. It is incredibly painful and contagious. It can be cured if treated early but often it is dormant and/or without symptoms in the early stages. Immunocompromised people are at higher risk of developing active bone TB. Thus, areas with high prevalence of HIV/AIDS have higher rates of active infection. However, any stress can activate TB (such as starvation). Feeding a child raw milk is child abuse.

They let go most (a bit over 70%) of NRC Regulators. That is a very specialized job and requires very experienced people in them. One nuclear reactor has a major safety incident, well, there may have to be some shut downs for a while… which will cause an issue for power supply. Those data centers don’t power themselves.

Good Luck with that. The major airports that have the heaviest flights are in the states that create the most commerce and generate the most money. The Donor States.

They can quit. They are not slaves.

yes, We can’t prevent the bubble burst. We can hope it happens sooner rather than later but the bubble is baked in. So what companies and individuals can to is basically buy up their detritus at bargain prices. And then use them to make better, more solid companies that do not require $3T investment while showing no fucking profit.

My family lost a great deal of invested wealth in that 2008 crash with the death of Mellon Bank. It does not seem like a lot today but … if it had been invested in say Chase or G-S… it would have probably been double what it was by now. I am sure my dad was twisting in his coffin when that happened. I am glad he did not suffer that when it happened (he died in 2005).
