As data center requirements become more and more extreme, I imagine human limitations being supplemented or eliminated altogether (robotics).

In other words, that data center ain’t built for you, meatsack. Get your oxygen tank and mask on, and go swap that failed hard drive already.

Worked in data centers buried inside 2,000 feet of solid granite for a while (NORAD). Is there some new challenge maintaining liquid cooled systems underground?

If 300 miles of range is the ideal end goal, we better be setting range goals of 500+ and not stop until we get there.

EVs kryptonite, is cold weather. Where range metrics turn into reputation-destroying nightmares.

4. The fucking new car price.

Just in case we forgot why new car sales are sucking hind tit, with lots FULL of unsold inventory at COVID prices. My local Ford dealer is so overstocked they turned the dealership inbound road into a one-way street. Because they had new cars lining the road on both sides.

Don’t even get me started on EV depreciation that makes a Maserati look like a 20-year old gold investment. Say it with me kids. Negative Equity. You’ll be hearing that a lot after the 84-month loan payoff results in a 48-month bone-us loan for the replacement battery.

Given the many scandals of recent times (a certain Hollywood power couple and their spoiled daughter turned USC rower come to mind), I absolutely believe this happens. The point I was making is reducing admission down to buying it makes a university a whore simply negotiating price. Why do thy cheapen themselves like that? They measure with grades and expect their graduates to be awarded with merit for four years of hard work. Selling admissions means I’m going to assume they sell degrees too. If they’ll go low, they’ll go even lower. For the same greedy reason.

Reputation-tarnishing bullshit for what? A few million into a 50-billion-dollar endowment coffer? That’s the pathetic part. They don’t even need the corrupt money.

Awww. Street corner hustler can’t snag the rich Johns anymore. Guess people figured out the actual value of education turned political activism.

If you care about fashion you care. It’s fucking Gaudi.

Lets hope there’s not a Taci fork somewhere. Could get really ugly.

* looks at stock market stability and crash history *

How about we sic those sociopaths on someone elses market if you’re feeling that froggy.

If the status quo has helped create a stock market house of cards again, then perhaps no action isn’t the appropriate action. That’s how we welcome crashes, recessions, and depressions. Again.

Moving at the speed of Greed is fine, as long as Corruption isn’t tagging along for the ride. If this results in manual traders simply never being fast enough at some point, then we have disrupted the model significantly. Not unlike allowing hedge trading in Capitalism. Betting against success isn’t hard when failure can be easily manufactured for profit.

Hedging against success. Too Big to Fail. The stability of an entire stock market being reduced down to a “magnificent” seven. I think we can agree our latest Capitalist ideas to let Greed dictate the solution haven’t been the best, and probably should be illegal.

You seem to have mistaken others for the brain-addled one who chose to drop out of the fucking race himself.

And if you don’t believe HE made that call, it only confirms how fucked we would have been with four more years under that administration. The hell were you granting that gift to? An autopen machine, or a cackling hyena drunk on word salad sauce?

Lets not also overlook the most egregious and arrogant display of blatant corruption when Democrat Nancy Pelosi actually had the fucking nerve to defend Insider Trading as a job perk.

Unfortunately those with “steady” pension funds will find out how much of that retirement is tied up in the market.

RTO mandates had far more to do with sustaining corrupt commercial real estate prices than “collaboration”. I believe some even warned directly that failed commercial real estate investments would directly affect State-level pension funds. Wasn’t just CEOs who felt they had no choice but to RTO.

Do those come with a library rolling ladder mounted to the cable chase, or am I to assume I get a 6-month subscription to Shaquille O’Neal to maintain those servers waaaaay the hell up there?

Gonna have NBA height requirements and a vertigo test in the data center soon.

”OK, here’s the new hard drive we need to swa..dude, why the hell are you wearing protective fall gear?”

What if your Russian is bad enough to be mistaken for Python?

(Sorry. I voice-activated a compiler trying to speak like a John Wick villain once.)

* Glances at completely separate US Military job designators for both linguists and programmers *

Those that know, know.

Those that don’t, soon will.

But I say let the Boss go first. Should be easy for the one demanding CrossFit-grade cross-training.

Does MI6 understand not even the US Military is dumb enough to assume every foreign language linguist is also a programmer?

Step right up, Boss. Show the rest of us how it’s done.

Rather ironic both of those fields still require a fucking obscene amount of internship.
