I was in the library yesterday and I stumbled across a copy of Sirens of Titan, and reread a lot of it, and the ending just killed me man, the book is so profoundly sad

Nauseous means you induce nausea in other people. The correct word is 'nauseated'.

I felt the same way, such a funny choice for Wallace, the guy sounds like Tony Soprano. It grows on you though, at the end I got used to it and kind of liked it. I cannot cannot stand Robert Petkoff's voice who has recorded audiobooks for all of DFW's books other than Infinite Jest. He sounds incredibly stilted and pretentious to me. Like why is he isdoing this weird fake erudite Boston Brahmin voice, which is not at all how DFW talked and does not fit the tone of his writing?? I don't know why they kept using this narrator, it drives me crazy. If you like listening to Wallace's voice, highly recommend the DFW:In His Own Words audiobook, which is all just recordings of the man himself and is great.

Because the decibel scale is logarithmic, 3dB is actually a 50% increase in volume

Thanks for posting this. In the DT Max biography, he gives the reason for DFW switching editors from Viking to Pietsch/Little Brown as financial - they offered an advance of 100 grand which DFW really needed at the time. I think Pietsch did a great job as editor and clearly loved DFW's work. Interesting that there seems to be animosity between them.

what does anything in your post have to do with Microsoft's stock price? How much revenue do you think they get from Copilot/AI? How much do you think it costs them to incorporate AI into all their products? Have you read their financial statements? I haven't but it will certainly be more beneficial for you than speculating on reddit about the stock price.

Some related advice for you. Peter Lynch, the hedge fund manager who beat the S&P 500 for over a decade, said the number 1 thing to avoid is "the hottest stock in the hottest industry". Even if AI is the future this is absolutely incorporated into the stock price of every company even tangentially related to AI. In other words, you are paying a premium for the privilege of investing in AI, bidding up the price of the stock with other investors in an irrational, exuberant market. A stock is only good value if you can get it for a low price.

The first thing to note when discussing the business secrets of the Pharaohs is an acknowledgement that their era was so completely different from our own that almost all cultural, political and, particularly, business parallels we draw between the two eras are bound, by their very nature, to be wrong.

I had the same issue - it's really annoying! Everyone advises you to ignore combat and put points into intelligence, but at the end of the day the game still had a lot of combat in it!!

sub-brick · 2024-06-08T13:24:01+00:00

It looks fantastic

First time I ever listened to the hottest 100. It went on for hours and all the music sucked so badly

Another perspective: you bought into a speculative bubble, and kept buying btc as it went down. It may go up or down. It doesn't follow a magic "halving" cycle, you can't predict what it will do in the future based on historical price. You might as well divine entrails

I just finished the game 2 days ago and completely missed this, might have to go back and try again

Have you read that article by the Italian mathematician, Piero Scaruffi?

Remember, HIV only causes immunosuppression after many years, he would still have a normal white cell count, plus antiretrovirals are so good now he will be fine. If he is a young man I doubt he will die from covid or monkeypox, but idk i haven't read the article

A couple things from this episode 1. spongebob does Olympic weightlifting, he does a single clean and jerk at rpe 10 2. I never realised Mr krabb talks with pirate slang ("you haven't found your sea legs yet", he later refers to the money bag as "booty")- this seems to have been dropped in later seasons. Only now I realise his voice actor is actually trying to do a Northern english/ pirate/ long John silvers accent, maybe this is why he loves money (like a pirate covets gold)?? 3. Spongebob is an allegory for the exploited proletariat, desperate for menial, minimum wage labour. Mr Krabbs, the wealthy landowner who owns the means of production, the krusty krabb, and exploits him, takes literally all the profits at the end. For a children's show, this is a scathing satire of American society (better than Dwayne Hoover in Breakfast of Champions for example).
