He's actually not that old. He just looks like shit.

I read a brochure at my local butcher shop. The chickens they sell are put in crates and gassed to death. Supposedly pretty easy on the animals. This seems much more efficient than individual submersible trips.

She was selected by the Federalist Society. Trump rubber stamped her (like he did the vast majority of appointments he made.)

I bet their lawyers might not think it's a great idea.

The Internet immediately worked, which is one big difference. The dot com financial bubble has nothing to do with the functionality of the internet.

In this case, there is both a financial bubble, and a "product" that doesn't really work, and which they can't make any better (as he admits in this article.)

It was obvious from day 1 how useful the Internet would be. Email alone was revolutionary. We are still trying to figure out what the real uses for LLM are. There appear to be some valid use cases outside of creating spam and plagiarizing other people's work, but it doesn't appear to be any kind of revolutionary technology.

I'm saying that you can't use scotch guard or anything like that.

It's been a while, but I don't believe that they were allowed to use cardboard or anything of the sort to prop up or modify the appearance of the product. Instead, they would cook say 100 burger patties, go through dozens of heads of lettuce, slice 100 tomatoes, etc, and pick out the perfect pieces to make a burger that looks the way that they want.

The most that they could adulterate the food was to make a slurry with corn starch, water, and food dye that could be applied with a paint brush to make things look juicy, etc. They would use a clothes steamer to make a pizza look just right. Lots of tricks, but it had to be something that you could just pick up and eat, even if you wouldn't necessarily want to.

As somebody who has been through liver failure and transplant, it really sucks. I do not recommend it.

Yes, and add a little bit of cold war style paranoia in there as well. These companies know that their product doesn't work very well, but they think their competitor is maybe right on the verge of a breakthrough, so they rush to deploy and capture market share, lest they get left completely behind.

I dated a woman that worked in TV ad production. Everything has to be real food.

The reality is that the plan is to appoint somebody to head the DOJ who will both enforce the Comstock act, and classify birth control as "abortion causing materials."

The Comstock act makes it illegal to "mail" abortion causing materials, which could be interrupted to include medical supplies used in abortions, birth control, the Plan B pill, possibly even other medications that have the mere potential to cause miscarriage. This would make it nearly impossible to perform abortions or access birth control in states where they are still legal, all while still technically adhering to the holy "state's rights" scripture.

Still gotta keep pointing it out. The goal of these people is to normalize their shittiness, so you need to keep saying, "this isn't normal, these people are whack as fuck."

I would think that to be the case, but he final line stating the population of Norway implies that these aren't rates, but total numbers.

The dream of the right since public schools became integrated.

It's very frustrating. Here in Ohio, there was a maybe bribery scandal on a bailout for two energy companies. The former house speaker and one or two other legislators got prison sentences.

The bailout stayed in place, however, and all Ohioans are stuck paying an extra $50 a month, just for having a fossil gas line active. If you have a gas stove, water heater, or furnace, it's fifty bucks a month just to be able to use them, plus whatever you actually use on top of that.

There's a skip button for a reason.

I have a regular who I have to periodically remind not to play what I call "novelty songs."

It's like, "Sarge, I know that you genuinely want to listen to Monster Mash, followed by four different James Bond movie theme songs, but you're killing the vibe here."

The ironic thing is that the show Seinfeld was more like IASIP than Friends, in that the characters were mostly shitty people, and the joke was usually on them (even though they similarly often destroyed the lives of people around them.)

Tyson announced several months ago that they were cutting back supply, just so that they could charge more. They're one of, if not the largest chicken supplier (and they are fully vertically integrated) in NA, so them raising prices affects prices across the board.

Prepare for more pain as bird flu seems to be spreading in US cattle populations.

Kinda. These people like hierarchy, partially because then they know exactly where everybody stands. They of course don't want to be at the very bottom, but understand that they won't be at the top, either.

Because the unite the right march was explicitly about white supremacism? You think there were some "very fine people" marching around and chanting, "Jews will not replace us"?

Spoiler: there weren't.

I've never seen footage of a group of Nazis marching around and thought, "I bet some of those dudes are actually pretty alright." That's also not something I want my presidents thinking.

It seems clear to me that he hates the people that are ruining the tech industry, ripping off customers, and pumping out shitty projects for short term stuck pumps, and he takes every opportunity to shit on those people and point out their idiosyncrasies. That's pretty much every tech CEO these days.

It's also pretty clear to me that he believes in the promise of the industry, and thinks that workers deserve better than the people that they work for.
