>Musk arrived at the Gigafactory almost giddy, asking managers if they knew what 420 stood for? It was a marijuana reference, he told them. He laughed.
this is an actual quote

nobody tell the Americans about how if we want to make the washing machine spin we have to hand-turn a crank, though the wealthy can pay a shilling a day to the washing machine man to turn it for us

if you have an appliance that someone doesn’t that’s because years of failed economic and social policy has lead to Dickensian poverty, a dire warning for all good statesmen to heed

if someone has an appliance that you don’t that’s sheer decadence borne of sumptuary demands, a fool living in beleaguered aristocracy rather than simple and pleasant humility

seems like we haven't had images load for a bit over a week; apologies for taking so long to address this. the cause was that the SSL cert for the object storage domain (files schelling.pt) had expired, as I had forgotten to renew it at the same time as the primary cert for the root domain. I've resolved the issue & will try to find time to automate the cert renewal so that we don't face this issue again

I feel like the world's governments learned an exceptionally poor lesson from the global financial crisis of 2008:

"We must ensure that the cost of housing always rises faster than wages, or there will be global economic ruin"

I don't think they've thought ahead to what lies at the end of the road that they think is avoiding ruin.

i remember having an old dream where they made metal stuff by doing some shit like, there was a hard light projector but hard light was really weak so they just used it to prop up this kind of spray foam metal on top of the projected shape :comfyaww:

"vaccines are ineffective" is a psyop by the liberal media in order to get people to remain unvaccinated justifying eternal lockdowns as part of their great reset project 2030 gates

what's the deal with smile.amazon.co.uk, like it's a tiny amount of free money but only if you do the weird ritual of typing smile before the URL, what do they gain from doing it like this

is it like PR for donations is nonlinear but cost is linear so by making it trivially inconvenient to use they cut costs massively while keeping almost the same PR ??
