  1. RIP
  2. Just saw that. RIP
  3. But that’s effectively behind a closed door. What happens in the team threads is private. It’s when it spills into the EPL main thread when the eye rolling starts.
  4. if you haven't seen his clip ... The two of them take him down after his clip (which is the first minute) Pod save America also has a take down on it
  5. Nah, reading the football board.
  6. What else might Elon be willing to lie about? I wonder
  7. I can confirm this makes a difference. I have an M2 upgraded Encore at our vacation house and a Virtuoso at home. For the Encore I measure out then grind and started doing the water drops to my batches - night and day. My counter used to be covered with coffee grounds when I pulled the bin and they would just fly around because of the static. The water cut this down immediately. You don't need a lot like just a few drops, so don't go crazy.
  8. It was a little fast. But I liked it.

    LOL
  10. Two or three models, he probably has one of each model: https://www.realdoll.com/realdoll/
  11. So this is a big LOL. His character died. Happened a few days ago, mentioned in this guy’s video But seriously, WTF man. Richest dude in the world and he wants to flex to be the king of the dorks? Why?
  12. Yeah this should be an easy VAR implementation. Hopefully the EPL gets that fixed soon.
  13. No they happen to everyone (see the BS corner that resulted in a goal against spurs).Arsenal fans are the only ones that cry incessantly about it.
  14. Just a reminder, those guys are a bunch of wankers
  15. Given the injuries - this was likely the best we could have hoped for. I mean maybe a draw was possible, but I didn't see it.
  16. Well can't call that one BS, beyond the fact it should have been saved. Sigh.
  17. Oh man that is BS. A corner they shouldn't have had.
  18. HOLY SHIT!!
  19. New keeper is making me nervous.
  20. We're not the TV option? WTF?!?!
  21. Ok that was pretty good take down of his claim of being decent at that game. I would argue that this puts in doubt any of his ranks in all games. I wanted to come back to the very begining of this video when he claims to be one of the best Quake players in the world. WTF? I played Quake - I knew who the best players in that game were. I met a few of them. Elon Musk - Zip2 - was never on the scene as being one of the best players ever. I attended events - he wasn't ever there. I can say - that claim is bullshit. Playing video games to quiet the mind? yeah right. Watching that video that game, it does anything BUT quiet the mind. What a bozo.
  22. I recommend the whole thing but yeah, I get it's a lot. Here are the highest points if you want to skip to them: 2:30 - Cambridge Analytica interview that outlines how Zuck has no accountability at Facebook 14:30 - Is the Mossberg/Swisher Interview. They address some of the privacy issues which started around 14:00. 34:00 - The big interview where Mark makes the Holocaust faux pas. I recommend listening to the setup from 31:30. 45:00 - Mark's commencement speech to Harvard (2017). (whole text is here - https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2017/05/mark-zuckerbergs-speech-as-written-for-harvards-class-of-2017/ ) 51:30 - Frances Haugen Interview - the flatness of Facebook and the flaw of it. I think as a big whole - these give us the largest insights into exactly how Zuck operates IN HIS OWN WORDS. The 2:30 interview outlines just how little accountability there is at Facebook. 34:00 shows how Zuck wants to get and keep as many people as he can on his platforms, and how he really just doesn't care what the discourse is (just like the Maria Ressa comment I mentioned last page and his newest content moderation change). 45:00 IMHO truly outlines how Zuck doesn't see anything he has done as wrong - HE LITERALLY SAYS IT: And then the Haugen interview at the end shows his blind spots, Swisher nails it "People of Facebook, we are all equals!" <Mark goes off and gets on his private jet to leave> If you have a bit more time, I think the last 12 or so minutes (46:30) are really good to give you a great insight into Zuckerberg as a whole. Swisher goes down a lot of her NY Times headlines and gives reasons for them. There is a small blurb in there (48:30) where she notes that he's said and is right that Apple has a ton of power, more than people realize. And I would say around 50:00 she has a good piece on his drive and how he has a great big picture view, but the small picture details of it are just wrong. I think this where she uses the Caesar analogy "Now we have democracy! Yes, but millions of people just died!" Eh, it's been obvious the whole time (IMHO). Unlike Muck, Zuckerberg really hasn't changed much at all this time. He has shifted with the winds this whole time all for the sake of Facebook's value. That he was a sociopath has been obvious since The Social Network. This discussion is mostly to keep up with this view and keep a spotlight on him. I'm still waiting for him to show me proof about Zuck pushing the TikTok ban.
