It’s the 16th annual Larry Craig foot tapping invitational, hosted every year in a bathroom at MSP’s Humphrey terminal

Ace Hardware has Dremels, solder, epoxy, and 600 grit sandpaper, and if you stare at this sign for no less than 40 seconds an employee will saunter up and you can ask them where to find all that stuff.

Possibly unpopular opinion but I think the Cybertruck is about as dumb-looking as most any other truck on the market. 4 big doors, more cabin than bed, trucks in general are all goofy looking parking lot crawlers nowadays

If a hedge fund registered an S corp for each property, they could be the sole shareholder and at the same time not technically own those properties. Each S corp would one one property.

Edit: the tenants would fund the registration

Here’s what would happen in capitalist America: entities would own those machines and use them as a means of personal enrichment, it’d displace a ton of human workers, the taxes generated from profits generated wouldn’t offset the economic impacts, and then half of the lawmakers would introduce bills that would provide lucrative incentives to those entities if they maintain a certain ratio of human workers and they’d staple a bunch of regressive crap onto it like abortion or whatever, it wouldn’t pass because the other half of lawmakers would want to tax the hell out of profits made with those machines, government would shut down 4 times a year, Jeff Bezos builds a vacation home on the moon

There are more than a handful of places near me that used to have decent delivery but Door Dash etc basically shut them out. They lose business by not being affiliated and not getting exposure, so they get on Door Dash and lose even more business to Door Dash, next thing you know they have no in-house delivery and all the prices on Door Dash are jacked up so they can give Door Dash their take.

More maneuverability, being able to pivot around the wheels that are first to enter the parking space, kinda like the difference in results when going nose first into a parallel parking spot vs backing in.

It’s a strange social experiment. Everyone is staying in and loathing it only because there hasn’t been an exodus. It’s like swinging the barn doors open and watching the cows stare longingly at the pasture in solidarity

I agree, I just rattled off about the cause and effect in the eyes of the mom & pop places, and the mom & pop folks might become victims if they’re late to the party and some shit does hit the fan which causes bigger names to start unloading entire portfolios of properties. But what can someone even do in that scenario, if they bought a property to host 6 months ago and suddenly there is a deluge of houses on the market and no one is renting their place? They practically have to dump it or short sell and eat the losses

There are quite literally millions of properties in the US removed from the housing market entirely in the form of short-term rentals. Can’t buy them, can’t get a lease as a tenant. It’s definitely adding to supply issues, and there’s a chance it craters property values if there’s a recession because people will vacation less and then the ‘gig’ property is no longer a gig but either a huge pile of money doing nothing or mortgage causing huge losses

Was this an offer or was this Elon Musk pandering to the 6 year old bully demographic? It’s hard for me to tell because it’s been 30 years since I’ve seen someone swing this much weight to try to make a dick pun at someone else’s expense

Minnesotan here. Minnesota is in the midwest if that’s the question you’re asking. Minnesota is chock full of proud northerners who have nothing to do with the midwest if you’re asking that question instead.

Quora did something similar to that. On mobile it’ll pester you to download the app, and on the app it’ll pester you to download an AI app, in an attempt to keep people bouncing around between those 2 apps.

Quora seems to suffer from the same issue as Reddit. AI can take a single page view and distribute the information obtained from that single page view multiple times, basically cut out the source in terms of monetization, and those 2 sites benefit the most from people using Google to find something. I think Quora’s approach is a bit more sensible than Reddit’s, basically jumping on the AI bandwagon as opposed to cutting off both AI and people using Google

I think in Reddit’s case, mostly due to the garbage search function, they’re stuck deciding between shooting themselves in the foot right now by blocking Google, or allowing generative AI to shoot them in the foot later by allowing Google to scrape user content. There will soon come a day when less people use Google to find specific information on Reddit and more people ask an AI prompt and get the same information fed to them without having to click through to Reddit.

I think the most ideal way to coexist with AI is for Reddit to pull out of search engines and make their own search engine work well, but until then they’re in a pickle

I’ve never given Linux a fair shake, I didn’t know Hannah Montana Linux even existed, and I have a desktop long overdue for a ‘format and fresh install’ level of cleanup. How can I not give it a shot?

I’m not gonna google the whole ‘GDP’ franchise/entity for hopefully obvious reasons but the ‘GDP’ franchise very well could be a verified account that creates content through exploitation and that being a very real possibility punches a hole in the effectiveness of attempting to moderate content by only allowing content derived from verified accounts. The article notes that the actual people reviewing flagged content can’t handle the sheer amount of flagged content so it’s likely they can’t handle verifying that content created by verified accounts isn’t content created through exploitation, so it’s probable once an account is verified it can just start sliding in all sorts of stuff that will go unchecked (as it apparently did in this case and others).
