  My impression came from headlines like this:

  Tech moguls Altman, Bezos and Zuckerberg donate to Trump’s inauguration fund

  I didn’t follow these donation news too closely, but from the headlines it always sounded like they do it personally!? Maybe Trump makes a point out of it that it comes from them personally? Would make them personally attached to him.

  A hundred euro is quite a difference. Didn’t expect it to be that much, tbh.

  The only consolation is that, with the discounter sets, you will get something that has been tried and tested and everything is according to the relevant technical standards. Should be, anyway.

  Any of the Discounters, really. ALDI, Lidl, Netto, etc have regular offers in their online shops.

  Yes and no. Jugglers do benefit from getting very consistently thrown objects. However they still need to make small adjustments every time. On very limited information in this case.

  I also remember an experiment with professional football (soccer) players, where balls would be shot towards them and the lights would be switched off while the ball was in the air. The rate at which they were able to position themselves and kick the ball back in complete darkness was pretty impressive.

  Forgot the bite force of Russian trolls and Chinese paid actors on any topic remotely concerning Ukraine or Chinese politics, and how the west is actually the bad guys.

  Unlimited bite force.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon tech workers leaving for other jobs in response to return to office mandate⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In my experience: the higher up the management chain, the higher the chance that they are just in for the bonuses - not for the company / industry. And those bonuses are always bound to these numbers which need to go up. When the numbers go down, these people are long gone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon tech workers leaving for other jobs in response to return to office mandate⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The first people to leave aren’t going to be the clock punchers, it will be the best and brightest who can easily find other jobs.

  Yes. But some of them are also the most expensive ones, so when they leave costs go down. And you “numbers must go up” (=cost must go down).

  • Any content created by the Chinese government’s own AI does not get flagged.

  You are correct. It was a monoculture forest and designed to be cut down sooner or later anyway.

  Most importantly no stupid face with a angry/surprised/whatever expression.
