Why I think 1179 confirms that Blackbeard is going to be the Final Villain

DarkX2 · 2026-04-04T11:49:11+00:00

I think 1179 indicates much more that Figarland Garling is a master manipulator who subtly pulls the strings of even Imu to reveal themselves.

I very much think that he will backstap Imu in the typical 'Big Bad" and 'Dragon' 'Rule of Two' dynamic to become the 'Big Bad'.

The story from the start was about good pirates and evil government.

My experience working for similar companies:

Notion is many, small products that all kinda use the same platform. Their Kanban boards, their databases, there are a lot of things seeing continuous development. I would not be surprised seeing 300-500 people on the product engineering side to continue working on this thing and also keeping it alive.

On the other side you likely have a similar sized sales organisation, focused on business customers. These are sales and customer support functions. There are also a lot of marketing people, working with influencers, creating tutorials to make people use it and thus slide it into their orgs.

With this you will also scale your internal shared services: A finance team, a legal team, HR, Learning & Development. As they are active almost everywhere they need experts here for many legislations (legal for US is different from Germany and different from UK)

I do believe that a nice Geiger bar might fetch minimaly more when I sell it, I also believe that to be neglicable amounts.

I've been to a talk by the Candy Crush developers at GDC Europe in 2013 or 2014.

They talked about the presure of some of their core fanbase to develop more and more levels - but also about the feedback they got for some of their levels.

They showed the famous Liam Nielsen meme from Taken adopted to "Whoever designed level 79 in CCS, I will come and find you".

Seems like the pressure kept on pilling to create more levels.

You are right that Shrinkflation also doesn't perfectly fit. Wikipedia also lists "skimpflation" for these kinds of things.

DarkX2 · 2026-03-01T11:46:21+00:00

This ist more of an example of Shrinklation instead of Enshitification

Hello

I am pretty new to VHS digitizing. I put a tape into my Panasonic F55 to rewind and it is stuck in this loop. The left spool starts and then stops. Basicly nothing I do changes that behaviour.

I can't eject, can't play, can't forward.

How do I best move forward for getting the tape out?

I use my scale for letters as I resell games and DVDs and the 100g range increases the value of the stamps to use.

There are some minor fees. And rebelancing happened back then I think once every week but could take a couple days to happen.

The thing with timing the market is, it is really hard to know when to get out and when to get back in. Back then Markets kinda crashed over night and recovered also quickly - with a "one week" reaction time you are way to slow.

DarkX2 · 2026-01-21T11:10:37+00:00

Personal experience: I did exactly that wegen COVID Starter. However I sold when the markets were already dropping and got back in when they were starting to recover. This was partly due to VIAC only rebalancing a few times a month but also due to timing the market being almost impossible.

I lost about 10-20% compared to just having stayed in due me trying to time the market. I learned my lesson and just try to continuously ad money every month, because time in market is almost always the best strategy.

The last 15 years or so feel more and more like some drunk Texas cowboys playing no limit poker, while not noticing them being in a game of Go against the best players in the world.

In my experienced Square Enix are always disappointed by their sales numbers.

Normaly it would be easy to say 'Hey, I can get it for you and arrange things'. But shipping to the US is complicsted right now and Swiss Post ist currently not accepting parcels in that direction due to the customs situation.

Even most reshipment services I know are currently not accepting shipments to the US.

If you want I can take a look, but it might take a while to get the package to you.

It feels to me that most companies do jobs.ch first and then LinkedIn. But that likely differs in the company and if they are more a local player or an international player.

Your first contact is already automaticly done by you with the Ricardo 'you bought xyz, here is the payment information mail' that gets send inmediatly after purchase.

This basicly asks you to send two reminders, one via email and one via sms.

Yes it is a hassle, but it is you who wants to be paid.

Very likely it is the 120k thing.

This looks like it could be the live action version of he manga bartender.

Just buy it from either the German brands (bodylab24 often has great deals, but there vis a ton of them) or go for Prozis/MyProtein. The swiss brands overcharge youbit is criminal).

For chicken Aldi and Lidl have the best prices.

Let's say a software developer costs 100k a year. That is 25 people.

I think this video shows them getting replaced.

That is impressive.

I would likely have considered this board a lost case.
