Its so much harder than you think. This would take a team of about 20 guys a month to do right. He got some little company for maralago to do it. He probably flew them up and got them hotel rooms and tours and everything. They just started putting blue paint down. That is concrete that has been under water for decades.

The process: Power wash the entire pool with high pressure for about a week Have professional concrete guys patch any holes Vacuum up any particulate Seal with two coats of concrete primer tinted blue rated to be under water Clean the whole surface again to ensure there arent loose particles anywhere by thoroughly vacuuming again Then two coats of the blue topcoat

It would take at least a month and the guys they got to do it just know how to do smaller swimming pools that dont need as much prep and they are “ccommercial” work, which usually means its done as cheaply as possible.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk

She dont want to go down that road with me…

Do you know how many hundreds, if not thousands of episodes ive listened to…

And apparently thr fundees really like blue eyes…

Youre absolutely right. I would like to add in the “reddit” model. Why things make it to the front page is kind of the same comment. Two people could post the same thing at the same time. One goes viral and to the front page where millions will see it, one might get 10 views. One comment on a post, when funny, right in the before that post takes off, can get 30k likes. Its all timing and being the one that gets initially off the ground. Ive always wondered though, how easy would it be for reddit to pick the winners and losers? Bot accounts and fake upvotes, even just a little bit in the beginning, could put it on “trending” and get it to the front page and the “algorithm” could put it in everyone’s feed. Are you seeing what naturally won or what they wanted you to see? Did facebook naturally win or was it what they wanted to win?..

War profiteering…

What the hell did i just read…

And then a website about proving the existence of sea monsters…

This is amazing, it took me to a US battleship website and then enrons website

Ive loved radio garden for a few years now. Its so fun to just click a random city in the world and just listen to whatever they are doing. I remember randomly listening to a music station from some island above scotland for an entire day and came out of it with like 10 bands i had never heard of before that are now a part of my rotation.

Did you know, the government of any country can do this for any service? Government sponsered amazon anyone?

Adam sandler had a running joke on one of his albums where the guy trying to laid just keeps namong it wrong and failing.

There is something to be said about institutions though. When more people are part of what seems to be an upstanding institution, the more they are inclined to protect the secret in order to protect the institution and its reputation. There are a lot of examples of this. For instance the catholic church, penn state, the trump oligarchy, nasa…

This is absolutely right. Money to them isnt a tool for comfort and happiness, its simply a byproduct of power and exploitation of that power. These people dont want to be able to go into a bar and buy anything they want, they want to go into the bar and buy the whole thing and the street its on. Youre the consumer just wanting enough grass to munch on, they are the predator plotting behind you.

I really am starting to think it is that simple and they dont care about anything other than wealth.

Its worse than that. The whole car usually runs through that computer, so when it goes out the whole car goes out and is expensive to replace.

It must have been a midwesterner texting, its such a polite response to such an unhinged response

Anyone else worry that young people are going to ask “where were you april 8th 2026?” in 20 years?

Thats really well put

Dozens!
