  • Be of good cheer! That kinda market valuation doesn’t disappear overnight, just too much money to piss away quickly. But our man Musk is on the case!

    And you’ll love this, Musk is committing the ultimate capitalist sin: Losing money. No problem going in the red, if your business plans aren’t made of half-ply toilet paper and ghosts. LOL, even Trump will shit on him as soon as it’s clear that Elon is a “loser”.

    Mom turned me onto corn husker’s oil. Figured since we shared genes, and it worked for her, might as well. Shit is the bomb. Tiny dab’ll do ya, doesn’t leave your hands greasy, dries fast, works fast, cheap, all that.

    My fingertips split in cold and dry air. Apparently I got a weird gene from great grandma, never met another person with the problem. Tiny crack across the tip, skin dies and turns hard, splits deeper, rinse and repeat. And the pain is stunning, like having an infected splinter stuck in your fingertip. Got that shit this year working outside in February and into March. Only took a few nights of using corn husker’s oil, GTG.

    Sigh. I would dearly love a proper bolt-action rifle. I’ve got a .22 (my first gun!) and a .22 magnum (left handed!), but zero excuse for a “real” caliber as I don’t hunt and my range at camp only goes out 100’.

    Love the Marlin 1895SBL from Jurassic Park but I’m not hunting dinosaurs or 2,000lb. bison. Plus, the .45-70 (AR-15 round on the far left) would probably amputate my skinny armpit.

    More on point, the first American Pope! I’ll look forward to reading more about how the College of Cardinals landed on this guy so quickly. Not sure I’ve seen a Pope chosen that fast!




  • It’s a valid business strategy to kick your low-paying customers to the curb and focus on the big spenders. Did the same with my little PC business back in the day. The small fry cost shitloads to support and are generally more bitchy.

    But HOLY shit did Broadcom kick 'em down. I’ve never seen such an in-your-face business move to squeeze the cash cow as hard as possible, tank the company, grab the money and run.

    People can say, and have been from day-1, “I’ll never use their shit again!” That’s fine with Broadcom, it’s literally their plan.
