Interesting! I was under the impression all data centers were causing similar problems, but leave it to the X Man to go the extra mile to really fuck things up. That piece of shit has unlimited money and still pulls shit like this.

Just to add to what you said, it appears Musk is in violation of EPA standards and they may be doing something about it: https://www.techspot.com/news/110971-epa-shuts-down-xai-off-grid-turbine-loophole.html

“Democracy dies in darkness… Night night!”

I’ve also read reports that the noise levels and pollution coming out of these things is staggering. Not to mention they appear to be built as quickly as possible with little regard for laws and regulations.

Gotta love this whole schtick, “oopsie! We weren’t careful enough with your personal info–here’s a voucher for free protection after the fact, because we failed to provide it to you when it mattered” (with the connotation that you should have taken them up on that free protection last time a corp accidentally shared your personal data with the world, and perhaps you wouldn’t be in this mess!)

…and that’s it! Business as usual after nearly a million people have their personal info compromised. As long as this is the punishment, it’s simply a business expense at worst.

“where’s the Tylenol?!”

I started using a Chemex recently and it’s probably less involved than my previous method (a single cup pour-over device called a Clever Dripper™) but it turns out even better coffee. Bonus points, the Chemex makes multiple cups at once!

They might as well blame it on AI. Heck, i wouldn’t be surprised if this problem was at least partially caused by AI, come to think of it

Agreed. Fuck Newsome, who will likely be the Dem candidate in 2028 (in the off-chance that we still have elections)

I remember years ago when i first heard of Newsome i thought he seemed decent. The fact he’s against this bill is further evidence that i was mistaken.

They didn’t make Kool-Aid like that when i was a kid! 👀

He never paid?! 😄

No prob! It’s a real game changer. It rarely fails to produce the paywall-free article.

Lol thanks for the tip, champ. I’ll at least go about my day with a little spring in my step knowing I’m not as miserable as you

That’s a good tip! I would hate to be in a position where i needed to use it but what else are you supposed to do? It’s absolutely bonkers how much they charge for this shit

Well perhaps it would help your demeanor, at least. Ta-ta for now 🥂

Omg i need to stop drinking champagne in the morning lol.

Either way, you sound like an exceptionally pleasant person to be around. I imagine your holidays probably were stuck in a lonely basement somewhere because you have driven away anyone that might once have cared for you. I’ll brush up on my detective skills if you’ll work on your misanthropism.

Come and get it. I can’t explain why it works on mine but doesn’t on yours. In the future, you can go to archive.ph and paste the address from the paywalled link. Most of the time they will serve you the page with the paywall removed.

Lol, get fucked troll.

OMG so i just did a little very mild detective work and discovered this bozo is salty because i responded to another shitty stupid comment they made elsewhere (and subsequently deleted) yesterday!!! Can’t make this shit up, LOL

Well, as long as you’re here @tehsills why don’t you tell us how your holidays were? 😆

Tesla sales dive 75%, Tesla stock rises.

Tesla sales dive less rapidly, Tesla stock also rises.

Elon says the most inane shit he’s uttered in 48 hours? Believe it or not: Tesla stock rises.

None of this shit makes sense anymore

That’s the wild thing to me: we are taxed nearly as much but we don’t get jack shit in return. I’d gladly pay even more taxes if it guaranteed things like health care and education.
