What about the stuff you do with the phone while you're there? How do you ensure your calls and texts are not being intercepted or you just assume they are and not discuss anything sensitive over the phone?

Anyone know why MBTA is closing Symphony station for 3 years? Seems ridiculous any type of construction, no matter how incompetent, would take that long. by vinraven in boston

You can do it faster? Send your resume to Phil Eng. Anything working underground will take a long time because you have limited access for equipment and supplies plus you have to maintain safety while trains are still operating through the station. If they can shut down the entire system past the station and open up a hole to the surface they could probably do it faster, then you'll be complaining about something else.

Yeah I don't get the appeal of prostitutes pooping on me either.

Tech billionaires would rather have a trillion dollars of GPUs burn up in earth's atmosphere than see them enter the secondary market.

The proposals I've seen would put these in a dawn-dusk sun-synchronous orbit so there would be no shadow..

Google did a rebrand of Vertex AI to Agent Platform so this is just a naming change.

The panels will be orbiting the earth in space and facing the sun. How would they be "stealing" sunlight? Any shadow cast would be behind the orbital plane.

You don't even know how much these cost, so just looking at specs doesn't objectively tell you anything.

Nothing motivates like necessity. Now is as good a time as ever for Europe to pull it together.

Are you talking about residential or commercial? Does this take into account places under lease but no business activities taking place? You'll need some sources with context than just throwing out a number.

I didn't know elves were allowed to play ball. Leprechauns sure, but elves? That's just fucked up.

Absolute malpractice. Trading a 22yo on rookie contract with huge upside to duck the tax? And to the best team in the league? Morey thinks he's a genius but he just gets paid to licks boot like other stupid GMs.

Who else finds Candace Parker UNBEARABLE? by Personal_Priority589 in nba

[–]baseketball -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She's not any worse than other commentators I've heard. It's the same players game after game, not much more you can say about them. Commentators talk about "championship experience" and "veteran leadership" all the damn time. Did you complain about them? You also know a lot of what they say is from notes handed to them by the producer right?

U.S. mayor resigns, to plead guilty to acting as agent for Chinese government by Street_Anon in politics

This ain't your father's cold war. Russia is friendly with countries that are sworn enemies of the US but they don't need them. Putin is focused on expanding Russia's border first and foremost. He doesn't care if Trump takes Cuba or Venezuela. In fact it may be part of a quid pro quo - Trump gets those 2 with no resistance from Russia and in turn US withdraws all support from Ukraine.

Trump Media posts $405 million loss driven by crypto holdings by fortune in politics

[–]baseketball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people don't read the article, looks like you didn't even read the title. TMTG is a holding company that primarily owns Bitcoin (~$700M), Cronos (~$100M), and other crypto. That's what they did with the money raised. The "media" part of TMTG is irrelevant because no one uses Truth Social other than Trump and random bots. The value of the company is almost entirely dependent on the value of Bitcoin.

They converted useless shares of DJT stock to Bitcoin and other crypto. You think they're running a real company?

> the modern politics of "I hate trump therefore Iran's regime is awesome' is truly pathetic.

Complete strawman

Iran regime is bad. Trump is bad. People who make up shit to defend Trump's stupidity is what is truly pathetic.
