Xerox also bought 100,000 shares of Apple in 79’ for $10 a share to help with the research. That would be worth 6.2 billion dollars worth of stock now. But they sold it in 89

Do you not have to insert/tap your card and enter a pin or something?
How would they even know what account to take it out of otherwise?

No idea, maybe he thinks you fuck a rando and ask them to marry you that night, or maybe you are just supposed to fuck around permanently and shouldn’t ever be with a woman for more than sex… That’s my best guesses…

Wasn’t there an article posted yesterday about a group trying to create a biological computer that was living cells do to their efficiency of use on less power? (They are far from close, they basically took skin cells, ionized them, and had no idea how they were going to get them to stay alive long term yet.

I like the idea that someone would be naming a company Lynch, and selling it to the masses to the point that they own so much

Would the case really shrapnel though? If you don’t stand behind it, in front of it or anywhere around it, this may be fine.
Maybe it would be better to just put metal bits around the powder and put a delay on the explosion… wait a second… fucking grenades always sneaking up on people

NBC is owned by Comcast, who also owns Xfinity and invests in T-Mobile. At some point there is going to be just 3 companies running everything and the courts they own will say they aren’t monopolies

I have always used the same towel for everything but I do realize now that I pick the towel off the rack and place it over my head the same way, making it so my head gets dried with the “top” of the towel legs with the bottom, and it gets put back on the rod the same direction. So it is possible the ball section of the towel never touches my face, that said… I wouldnt be worried about it anyways. I’m not exactly scared of balls, and they aren’t naturally acidic and even a vaginas acidity (~tomato) level, isn’t dangerous for our skin.

See I can’t see this being true, because if we figured out how to do it, and let someone else do it first, they would get all of the gains first.

I completely overlooked it, I saw the key board and was like wtf did they do… and immediately skipped to the SN to search the warranty status. (Manufacturers usually list the purchase date on their warranty pages)

- Comment on RIP Mac Pro, I guess. 1 week ago:
So you think with no professional use people will train to use them when if you got hired by a company they won’t use them? It seems like a scare to me. I’m not an apple user, but yikes
- Comment on RIP Mac Pro, I guess. 1 week ago:
My wonders are around how this will effect the video software market in say 10 years. In 2010 if you said you wanted to get into video editing I would have said I dnt know much but people swear by professional tools developes for Mac os x.
If Mac Pros go aways, professional software wouldn’t be used by big industry, but rather just hobbyists… Which to me seems like the death of video editing long term on Mac.
- Comment on Recommend that new users join geographically local instances 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I looked into migrating to earth but overall it didn’t seem like a great idea. Most of the world is rife with hatred of aliens and has a very much higher percentage of trafficking aliens than native peoples. They seem to be highly focused on competing against each other rather than helping their societys grow together. When was there last war, today… that number hasn’t changed in thousands of cycles. An atmospheric scan shows catestorfic changes making it inhabitable for many life forms on the planet and yet still while thousands of species have died off around them, the primary “intelligent” species ignores it while lying to their peers trying to swindle themselves into a better standing so they can think they are better than others while dooming near everything. Maybe I’ll go in after the next thaw in about 65,000 cycles
- Comment on My own copyparty instance 3 weeks ago:
Copy party works pretty well, I’ve liked it. That said I don’t have mine open to everyone, it requires a password for view/read/edit rights or whatnot, which you can easily divy out using a config file. (Not the most secure, but that’s because I haven’t put in any protections myself)

18-29, where do they get this biased claim from? I find it hard to believe people 7 years or so younger than me and trusting false data more than the large swaths of 65+ gobbling up misinformation about immigrants, drugs, economics etc. “Younger users are more active, more influential in their peer groups, and frankly, often less skeptical about what they’re seeing online.”
- Comment on Microsoft seemingly just revealed that OpenAI lost $11.5B last quarter 4 weeks ago:
The GPUs are basically proprietary to the severs which are near proprietary to their racks/setups. I spent a few months on a contract quality testing new Nvidia graphics severs being assembled by a a Taiwanese company here in the states. From the liquid cooling built into the $2-4 million dollar rack to the proprietary network/data cables to transfer the information at the speeds they do, most people would have no way to use them.
- Comment on I hear he's homeless too. 4 weeks ago:
So your saying they would walk away with a few billion instead of like 80 billion and would never have a family member need to think about working again. They “play” normal person for fun. Like if they sell it all off and move away they can each buy a few $2 million houses, have maids, gardeners, nutritionists, cooks, and vacation anywhere they want all the time and go from having $2-3 billion to having $4-5 billion in around 7 years without any effort. It’s just to much money to spend, and it constantly will be making more money than is needed
- Comment on I hear he's homeless too. 4 weeks ago:
I mean even if England dissolved the monarchy all those properties are owned by their family, not the country I thought. So you can take all his title and responsibilities if he has/had any, and he would have to go into the hard living of a billionaire. With no one in his family ever having to think about working for the rest of time. We live in different worlds.
- Comment on Has anyone here ever doubted if your parents were your "real" parents? Is it normal to have these weird thoughts? 4 weeks ago:
I would find it more likely the hospital fucked up and you got the wrong baby from the icu. As entering/post leaving said hospital there has always been a paper trail. Records they checked in, record of baby born, and birth certificate. Also birth certificates have changed a bit here, so if you look at your original birth certificate the listed parents had social security numbers listed, when you order a replacement they do not. Guessing a lot of people were worried about family matters stealing identities or something. If I didn’t have said birth certificate, I couldn’t get a driver’s license or anything else really, so unless they faked one well enough and changed records in the hospitals, it’s a very low chance I was stolen. Now the number of men who are lied to about being the father is higher than that, and there are some rare cases of having someone else sign a birth certificate that isn’t the biological father. I have known someone who lied to her ex about how long into a pregnancy she was, and had her new partner sign the birth certificate as the father to get legal paternal rights. (Obviously a shit show when the biological father finds out).

- Comment on Mexican Government To Tax Violent Video Games It Says Make Kids Violent 4 weeks ago:
The angriest person I ever saw playing video games was my brother playing Madden when he was younger. Model straight A student, calm person in everything else, very unlikely to ever get in a fight, went to to have a good career, good father, never been arrested or even gets traffic tickets… Yet if video game competitiveness while a teenager was an actual tie to judging if a person was violent in their real life… I think banning all sports games/possibly all competitive sports should be higher up their list.
When’s the next time you will see someone physically hit someone in a manner outside the rules/laws. Every given Sunday in the NFL. Saturday in the NCAA… probably won’t even make it that far, is there an NBA, MLB, NHL, or other such physic sports game in today? Competitive wrestlers are known to shove a finger up someone else’s ass if they think a referee can’t see it for a competitive advantage. Football intentionally kneeing people in the ribs or trying to poke people in the eyes when they are in the piles. Most of the fights we see break out stem from cheap shots and rule breaking happening when a referee can’t see, not just shit talking.
If these are the things players are taught and do, why would it be okay to teach kids to play these sports as little kids… Probably because they know theit kids aren’t randomly forcing their finger up someones ass or kneeing someone in the head when they go into the office. Different mindsets

There will never be another draft. Our military is to big, and we aren’t going to try to occupy anything. Drones knock down our deployment numbers drastically. Unless there was actually a war with someone like China or on our own soil, there is no need. We currently have about 2 million people already volunteered. Our largest force during the Afghanistan/Iraq bologna was around 100k. So we could send 10x that and not get into the reserves. Our military is way to damn big

Yeah I wasn’t sure if maybe it was a term they used in another part of the world, or if maybe it meant one who partakes in the use of alcohol but maybe isn’t an addict. It seems like it is a synonym like you are saying.
