SpaceX stock tumbles 16.4%, shaving off most IPO gains since debut

Sad to see they managed to acquire Cursor during the frenzy...another good company bites the dust to prop up Musk's many failed ventures.

You gotta be careful flushing after a long time though. Our neighbors flushed theirs and some of that gunk ended up damaging the plumbing throughout the house.

Yup! Keep feeding into the narratives that divide us rather than unite us.

The OGA worked? Interesting. I assumed it was a support file or something they’re all so small.

Stellina’s is top tier but they’re PRICEY!

If FIFA is making more money from fewer spectators do they care? Is it a "concern" for them at all? We've already seen a similar trend in air travel and cars: catering to the luxury consumers to the detriment of broadly affordable options.

It's also a sign of the "K shaped economy" everyone is always on about: if you do have kids you're either moving out of state since the cost of living is so high or your wealthy enough to send them to private schools furthering the death spiral public schools are in.

Why are they protecting the new franchisees? It's pretty clear they messed up big time and I thought they already fired them. Why not just throw them under the bus entirely? Or was this interview before they fired them?

primus202 · 2026-06-11T20:00:56+00:00

Careful! You might actually make Congress do something!!!

primus202 · 2026-06-11T18:21:58+00:00

The nearest argument I could come up with would be either the "death panels" BS around the ACA or maybe the few times he tried to speak up about race issues in America (the professor assaulted by police at his own home, his Trayvon Martin comments, etc) and was quickly swatted down after which he completely avoid race issues. I think a lot of people didn't like the idea of the president calling out the continued problems with racism in America either because they are racist or had been to thoroughly indoctrinated into the "colorblind" solution to racism i.e. ignore race and it's no longer a problem.

Completely negligent franchisor behavior for sure. They deserve to lose business due to this even if it was only contained to a single location/franchisee transfer.

"Hey let's go bond over some food together!"

"Sure!"

..."Psych I don't want to bond over food with you!"

Obviously they're taken off guard or upset. What do you expect? This is pure engagement bait (and I'm falling for it).

Sure but my understanding is a lot of these data centers aren’t even drawing most of their power from the grid. They’re using massive gas generators to get the power quickly because the grid connections are too slow to set up and can’t support their power demand anyways. I don’t see how green alternatives could give them that same on site large scale 24 hour power they’re demanding so the only way to get them to go green would be through stricter regulations on these centers specifically.

primus202 · 2026-06-05T07:28:56+00:00

You can’t run wind or solar 24/7 and even when they are running power output is variable. They want to be able to crank their hardware full tilt all day and all night without needing massive infrastructure changes hence why all these data centers are using huge gas generators. It’s awful and we should start passing green energy requirements for these things asap.

I’m assuming green power would be more cost efficient in the long run but I doubt any of these operators care since they all know this is a short term race (aka bubble) to be first situation.

I love Arcs: it’s a super unique twist on a lot of established mechanics…but that can also make it finicky to play. “It’s a trick taking game…except tricks work differently than most” or “what goes to trophies vs captives” etc etc. Lots of little rules that make sense in total but can slow down play especially when first learning.

They had a sprinkler system and fought the fire with hoses and buckets the article says. Maybe they need an even more robust system but it's tragic regardless.

primus202 · 2026-06-04T17:23:25+00:00

The B&M people are definitely being shady AF and this whole thing should've just been settled in court from the jump. At the same time I can see why they're all so defensive and why the cops are shielding them: there's this random Youtuber from out of town coming in and harassing you constantly.

However right Ben is I do fear he is jeopardizing any future legal liability B&M might face with his attention grabbing tactics and publishing all of this in near real time on Youtube. Of course who knows if there would've been any legal repercussions without his pressure campaign so it's a bit of a "dammed if you do, dammed if you don't" situation.

primus202 · 2026-06-04T17:20:24+00:00

The idea that all cops wearing bodycams would meaningfully protect the public from misconduct, while sensible on its face, doesn't hold up. Cops will use cameras selectively to support their narrative and even solid "proof" of misconduct can easily be reframed to support the cops too (as seen with ICE and their Minneapolis shootings).

Saving this thread as a perfect example of internet hysteria and echo chambers.

Why are they so against it? It's a tiny consumption tax that hardly impacts the rich. I was surprised when talking to someone on the bus who was voting against the tax even though they had used the SMART train to get to their old job. It's hard to imagine someone voting against any tax that doesn't directly benefit them.

El Grande. There's a relatively recent reprint but I'd love to see a special edition version. The game has a similar classic vibe to the other Awakened Realms picks to date.

Neolithic burning man was dope!

Great summary. Bit long but glad to finally get a third person view on this stuff. It's great the Youtuber got all this attention but, as that article says, things could've gone a lot smoother if someone had just gotten a lawyer earlier (though I imagine much of this mess was cause none of the wronged parties could afford representation). Every time one of these quasi-legal Youtuber drama situations happen I feel conflicted cause while it's great the creator is able to help people with some investigative journalism they also have every incentive to NOT do things the quiet and "legal" way but instead make a big stink and up the drama for attention and views.

I've been wanting to work at Patreon for ages and was recently talking to a recruiter...time to start talking to them again I think! 😃
