Enron’s share price was very high right up until the end, too. Share price is not necessarily a good indicator of underlying fundamentals

I don’t, really. I think that both people are VERY sensitive to astroturfed and memetic right-wing messaging and assume anyone repeating a right-wing meme is doing so intentionally, and that right wing memes are very easy to accidentally internalize. Sorry for jumping down your throat. You’re honestly the minority who recognizes they stepped on a rake they genuinely weren’t aware of…I (and I think a lot of folks) feel like I have to be constantly vigilant against bad faith “common sense” propaganda

Unlike Amazon and UPS and fedex and all those other carriers that never lose packages right? Maybe ask why you’re focusing only on the federal government institution that the right wing has been demonizing for decades instead of the private institutions that lobby them

Damn it all I forgot that by buying a book of stamps so I can pay postage to drop letters off in the many boxes maintained and monitored by an army of carriers and know that within days my mother will have a magnetic calendar with pictures of her grandkids I was ENGAGING IN SIN

Holy shit that is a pattern if I’ve ever seen one

NYT has always been a news outlet for the oligarchy. They’re not left or right, they’re not for big government or small government. They are in support of oligarchs doing oligarchy things.

USPS is awesome. I love my local post office and my mail carriers are neighborhood fixtures.

They are different products. Glass was a portable AR product. Vision Pro is a computer replacement. It sounds odd but you are not intended to use a Vision Pro out and about, it’s intended to replace or substantially augment your home computer

They’re pretty good. He has a very clear, very technically detailed style. Good solid mystery writing. Kind of like a poor man’s William Gibson. After reading a two page segment of red team blues where Doctorow explains keypair encryption I described him to my wife as “Tom Clancy level detail for computers and the internet” not that Clancy is good, but his stuff is that detailed.

Well they don’t consider Nick Fuentes to be a Nazi anymore. When his views weren’t as mainstream in the Republican Party, he was a Nazi. Now he’s just “really conservative on social issues”

Or more accurately, they don’t consider nazis bad anymore.

With summer approaching we are rapidly entering a turning point for Ukraine funding. It’s not like ammunition and supplies starts flowing the minute the bill is passed. It will take weeks and months for the funding in that bill to turn into ammunition that makes its way to the front lines in Ukraine.

If congress doesn’t pass that aid very, very soon then Ukraine will be looking at a Russian offensive in the spring and summer that they can’t stop. They are already losing far too many people every day simply because they don’t have enough ammunition. Waiting any longer cannot be justified as anything other than collusion with the Russians

To cash out

They ARE vindicated now

For the past few days matchmaking at least has been fully working

Yeah I have been off work this week. During the day USTZ it’s totally fine. 5-6pm EST it goes to the queue. Dunno about now but the past few days have been much better than last weekend

I was talking to a friend about the same thing. The timer seems like a server timer, not the client polling. All those clients then are just retrying the login? No wonder their auth servers are slammed

Honestly queues are fine if

1. I can see my spot in queue (bonus points for estimated time remaining)
2. AFK players are kicked

They’ve already done 2 and 1 would make me fine with waiting in queue. But as it is their queue is not even a queue, it’s a raffle. There’s no line, just a mob waiting to get in.

I doubt they live long enough to be brought back

Come on, you can’t expect them not to break little laws like that. The money is right there! Why shouldn’t they just take some? \s

No, it is forfeit.
