Pretty sure this is the same shit that blew up in the Beirut port. I wouldn’t let a Russian ship full of that shit into my port.

I have no idea how Samsung phones are so popular. They are aesthetically pleasing I guess, but their insistence on bloat ware has driven me away since day 1. I almost got the 1 bloat free phone they ever made which was the S4 Google Play edition, but opted for the HTC One Google Play edition instead. Since then, every phone has been loaded with unremovable garbage apps that you can’t get rid of without rooting. I refuse to buy a phone with garbage apps that no one uses with the sole purpose of data collection. Say what you will about Google (I know) but at least their apps are helpful.

My mom has a Samsung Smart TV that recently kept turning on by itself to play their shitty TV+app which was pre installed on the TV, and never once opened (not on purpose at least) by anyone in the household. Apparently this is a common issue. I had to disconnect it completely from the internet, perform a factory reset, sign her Samsung account out, and plug in a Chromecast to replace the UI of the TV just to get everything working for her, and not waste electricity by having the TV randomly turn on every 30 minutes. It’s one thing if they were bloating their UI with good apps, but forcing a bunch of absolutely useless apps onto us is ridiculous.

Came to say this. Brazil is going to align themselves politically with these countries in the coming years.

Glad I’m not the only one

Say what you will about ole Kim, but I spent a good chunk of time sailing the seven seas with his assistance.

It’s the largest 24 hour brokerage in the US. There was too much sell volume, that their execution venue had to stop it which is a pretty big deal.

Robinhood killed 24 hour trading. Dip is apparently being bought now that premarket is open. Very sketchy tho.

We stayed at an Airbnb in Croatia probably 10 years ago. One night out friend got too drunk and crashed with us. The dude said he heard from the old ladies that there was another person with us one of the nights. I always wondered if that was the case or if he had a hidden camera, but cameras weren’t as ubiquitous then as they are now. Nosey ass old ladies.

We used to have to shill a micro loan “charity” back when I worked for the ole organic Walmart now owned by Bezos. My boss always gave me crap about not getting enough donations. I told them I was morally opposed to profiteering off the world’s poorest people. No, raiderkev, this is different. No the fuck it’s not. It’s not a charity, it’s a business, and we’re asking people to fund banks that will charge these people interest and get them started on a debt spiral. Hard pass.

High score baybeee

Oh I’m sorry, I thought this was America!

Or when I was 5 years old, and some dick older kid traded me 2 nickels for a quarter. Learned a hard lesson that day.

Russia like y’all got any more of them lords of war?

If Paris wants to make an impact, They can ban Bitcoin and AI which is burning an incredible amount of energy. Otherwise let them have their air conditioners. This is stupid.

My brother in-law worked at that factory. It’s the old NUMMI plant in Fremont. Elon probably calls it gigadouche factory 69 or something now. They absolutely did not get a discount. If you bought one at full price, they did gave you FSD free in later years. He was there for like 8 years until last year.

“was erected in 1892; removed from the site in 1964,[1] and restored and re-erected in 1981”

WTF were they doing that took 17 years to restore?

I totally thought those were some kind of thing that would dissolve at first. I thankfully just didn’t like those body washes anyway, but I was super disappointed when I found out those ‘exfoliating beads’ were just micro plastic. What evil fuck ok’d that decision?

I don’t know about that with Jim Jeffries is one of my go tos. They see how much Jim knows about a given subject and have an expert in the field listening and grading. It’s funny z and I’ve learned a lot from it too.

You would think they would do this to mine Bitcoin too.

My neighbor had a Saturn, and like literally no one else I knew did. Having said that, it was bad ass, and the graphics were unreal for the time period. Iirc it was out before N64, and had proper 3d graphics. It’s weird that it never succeeded. Was it just super expensive or what?
