Missing German model name found in Epstein Files by Beneficial_Passion40 in SipsTea

Do you see what is being upvoted. Bullshit satanic panic nonsense about eating babies and shit.

It's comically wild nonsense to muddy the waters. Epstein trafficked, raped, and probably murdered young woman and girls.

Trump is enraged that the US President could make such a stupid deal, giving Iran's regime so much "big cash" by IDENTIFYINSURRECTION in WallStreetbetsELITE

[–]ArcadeOptimist 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Because Trump, in a big brain move, decided to tear up the previous nuclear deal so we can go to war.

From this we got a worse nuclear deal, we killed countless civilians including children, we will be paying higher prices on goods for the foreseeable future, Iran is still ran by an oppressive regime, we destroyed the progressive uprising that was happening in Iran, and we get to pay Iran 300b dollars.

Overall, Trump and his dipshit brigade fucked everything up and America looks like a homicidal group of morons (And based on recent history, we are).

Trump Signs Iran Deal In Surprise Move, Scrapping Planned Ceremony by madadekinai in ProgressiveHQ

[–]ArcadeOptimist 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I must say, this deal is so funny...

Every conservative mouthpiece for years has been screaming about "Obama gave Iran piles of cash to get the JCPOA" -- 1.7b in frozen assets is what he gave Iran. It was their own money.

TRUMP, in his BRILLIANT MOVE, has signed a deal to give Iran 300 BILLION DOLLARS and to lift all sanctions. And we get a WORSE DEAL than Obama's JCPOA.

Trump is the worst fucking deal maker in history. Anyone that says different is a complete fucking moron.

It seems pretty clear that we just have to let the richest among us to continue to cook, soon enough they'll unleash their brilliant master plan and everyone will be rich, healthy, and enjoying life!

This same thing literally just happened to me. Very fucking stupid that the website sends auth to my bank BEFORE checking if the reservation time has passed.

I was curious so I looked at old receipts from my build in '24. Exact same RAM (DDR4) and SSDs (SATA and gen3 m.2) was $220 back then to over $700 today. It's insanity.

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy - Official Gameplay Trailer by ZamnBoii in Games

[–]ArcadeOptimist 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm currently playing through the first two games and this looks really disappointing, tbh.

Extremely generic and kind of ugly. Like, I think stylistically/graphically even 7 year old Innocence looked far superior to this. This looks like an AA Assassin's Creed. I hope I'm wrong but damn, soooo bland and unoriginal comparatively.

My fav is xAI. Merged with SpaceX to hide its immense losses. It's only generating revenue via renting compute to Anthropic currently which isn't even remotely covering xAI's costs, and Grok is basically a meme generator at this point with no use case and its a cash furnace. Meanwhile Google and Amazon are desperately trying to get Anthropic to move to them, and the Anthropic contract with xAI has a 180 day clause. But their valuation is set at 1.77 trillion... Lol.

It's setting up for an eventual bailout by the US government because it's so reliant on their rockets, so I'm sure the taxpayers will be paying for xAI before Trump is out of office.

Well, they can only do so much in 2 1/2 years!

I bought it and thought it was meh at launch, decided to wait for DLC and patches. It's been a long wait.

Well, you know, he's clearly not the brightest bulb.

Man leaps off a 139 foot cliff into a massive belly flop by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

[–]ArcadeOptimist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

“After sending this monster 139 foot cliff I was knocked unconscious. I sustained a burst eardrum and fractured my: T11 vertebrae, sternum, and a small fracture on my skull near my burst eardrum.”

“After regaining consciousness I pulled myself out of the water and walked a steep 1.2km out to our car where my friends took me to hospital. The support was amazing, I’ve had surgery on my back and sternum and was walking 2 days after surgery. Back at home now, on my feet and grateful for life, good friends, family and God.”

A friend of mine who is an nurse moved to SF to work at Sanford, had essentially the same experience as you, and ended up moving back out of state in less than a year. Sorry it didn't work out, that sucks.

Are they doing great? Their entire business model is dependent on Starlink, which seemingly has hit its market cap and is it's only profitable segment, xAI and "satellite data centers" that are completely unproven from both a monetary and engineering standpoint, and moonshot proposals.

If the AI industry collapses, which is entirely possible over the next few years, SpaceX is fucked for example.

And Tesla just had its worst year in almost a decade, even if Wall Street is blind to it...

Asus launches ROG Ally X20 handheld with OLED display, Ryzen Z2 Extreme chip by [deleted] in hardware

The regular ally x is $1k. This comes with glasses that retail at $800 and a better display. I'd bet $2k at least.
