  1. To be fair, I've been guilty of that meme in my youth. I learned my lesson after taking out some gateways and routers at the company formerly known as WorldCom in my 20's. So like a young F250, you don't let kids run fucking rampant around critical systems.
  2. This is the part that is blowing my fucking mind. He isn't part of the administration and the people involved have no clearances and are actively violating federal laws.
  3. This needs a separate thread. As we know Elon and Thiel's kids are being allowed to fuck around with the U.S. Treasury. There isn't much reporting on the subject outside of WIRED. https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-government-young-engineers/
  4. It doesn't say all contractors. I am guessing that there will be a lot of small government contracting companies targeted. There are a lot of small "DEI" contracts out there. I wouldn't be surprised if those are heavily targeted. It will get interesting if DOGE goes after their competitors in the DoD space.
  5. Concern for high egg prices are so last year, nobody cares anymore.
  6. I blame the Shaggy/Surly meta thread culture.
  7. This is the biggest fucking "What the fuck?" going on at the moment and it's barely getting any coverage. These kids wouldn't be allowed to be involved with infrastructure at this level at any company but they are doing this with the U.S. Treasury? Not to mention it's fucking illegal.
  8. Grok handling air traffic control.
  9. My parents divorced when I was three years old. My father is a rancher and so was my maternal grandfather. My maternal grandmother insisted that my grandfather sell his land, cattle and everything else and move to the city. Apparently, my mother attempted the same with my father who unlike my grandfather refused. Divorce followed shortly after. We moved to San Antonio shortly after the divorce. I spent summers and winter breaks at my dad's place growing up. As a kid going from an actual city to BFE south east Texas was a beating. In the Summer's, I was assigned to work with my dad's dad so we would hop into his Ford F100 from the 1950s and work. Horrible. My mom married my step-dad when I was eight years old. He was an engineer and a colonel in the USAF. After retirement from the USAF he became a professor at St. Mary's University as an engineering professor. I feel like I am a combination of my step-dad and father. I pursued STEM and other intellectual pursuits because of my step-dad. My eldest son is an officer in the USAF and I wish my step-dad was alive to have seen his commission. There are a lot of things my dad has also imprinted on me too. I'd say I am definitely the product of two dads. Looking back on how my kids were raised, academics, sports and competition were heavily emphasized. That was my step-dad. But my kids all had their own horses and were expected to work our land and service tractors, trucks, etc... that was my dad.
  10. He will likely do both. The data will be used as a weapon and he will definitely skim money. I've done work for many financial institutions but doing work for Treasury’s BFS is mind blowing. When you see the amount of money being transferred you can't help but think what a small transaction fee would net you. I would not be surprised if some Musk owned company takes over all federal disbursements for a high percentage fee. He will become a trillionaire off of the backs of the American tax payer.
  11. Elon should hang from a rope.
  12. I don't mess with Gen-Z anymore, my girlfriend is a millennial. We went out for Italian food tonight and despite our decision not to discuss politics we ended up bitching about the insanity. Long story short, I had spinach and gorginzola ravioli with a salad, had a mutual bitch fest about Trump then finished the evening with sex and drove home.
  13. Welp, I am going back to reading that Star Trek vs. Star Wars fanfic because this reality is too much.
  14. Wouldn't this benefit cities and suburbs while leaving the rural areas to die off?
  15. All of our adversaries watching Musk violate every federal cybersecurity control.
  16. That section was chefs kiss on being a cold hearted dick.
  17. Do you not remember Sean Spicer's first briefing where he ranted about crowd sizes? It's been a clown show ever since. Why would you expect any different?
  18. Nothing good can come from this. I've been involved with BFS in the past and they do not fuck around at all. They were one of the most risk adverse organizations I've ever been involved with. If Elon is getting involved here.
