The whole world is a giant corporate town (except for the good places ofc).

They're arguably the worst. The folks that live in those places just have an exceptionally long line of credit, so they can keep the ball rolling indefinitely.

your take-home pay is ~~zero dollars~~ you owe us money.

Getting in on that deep stock cleavage.

The Spectator, a journal that speaks for the British horndog is pursuing a very instructive line in relation to the latest SNL episode.

For anyone under the age of 25, they've likely never seen tits

We are approaching incel levels not seen since Ben Shapiro made comments about his wife's dry vagina.

Me: "Mom, can we have New Star Trek?"

Dune Mom: "You have Old Star Trek at home"

Old Star Trek At Home

Conservatives will tell you that the real "Minimum Wage" is $0, and I'm beginning to suspect this is their end goal.

The dragon is based on Adam Smith, who noticed these kind of improvements in production were the key to increasing the wealth of a given society, and that reorganization of society from feudal lords, who largely spent their money on luxuries, to industrial capitalists, who spent a lot of their money on "research and development", i.e. improving the efficiency of their factories, was causing economic growth and ever increasing wealth.

One thing that's lived in the back of my brain for a long time is the fear that we're reaching a kind of soft frontier on scientific research and economic development. Which is to say, because we can no longer garner these enormous economic improvements from these marginal infrastructure improvements, the incentive to throw enormous sums of money into new infrastructure is fading away.

This AI crazy failing to deliver instant explosive gains in productivity is illustrating a bunch of the problems plaguing industry going on for over a decade. And our inability/refusal to invest in transcontinental public projects only exacerbates the problems. Can't even get a HSR from LA to San Fransisco without pissing away billions of dollars and getting a second season mid-tier HBO mini-series about detectives to make fun of you.

Does this mean we're going back to the old style of Feudal Society, where billionaires just throw "White Parties" and compete to have the biggest yachts and take over social media companies out of pure vanity? Are we finally at the end of the industrial revolution and doomed to sink back into Bourbon Dynastic Rule?

I was paying $5/mo to get access to a high-quality AI voice-cloning model. I had fun for months doing stuff like impersonating Biden in TF2.

Guess you're just going to have to learn to do voices using the old fashioned time tested technique of using your own fucking vocal cords.

Seriously, though, its not that hard to develop a few good impressions. Its a fun little skill and immediately makes you popular at parties. Stop outsourcing your life to a computer. Save your $5/mo. Learn to actually do things for yourself. Also, log off and touch some grass, ffs.

Teams goes down all the fucking time don't even lie.

In Georgia, demand for industrial power is surging to record highs, with the projection of electricity use for the next decade now 17 times what it was only recently.

The first new nuclear plants since Three Mile Island just came online in Georgia last year. Vogtle 3 and 4 will produce a combined 1.2 GWe at peak capacity.

These reactors took 16 years and multiple bailouts and bankruptcies to complete, costing an estimated $34B to finish.

Hopefully, future power construction will move a little smoother.

As a comparison, the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant took ten years to complete at the cost of around $7.5B and it has a peak generation of 3.3 GWe

The fruits of success. It's hard to keep an enormous coalition marching in time, particularly when a big chunk of it is tied up in the personality of a single successful leader.
