I had a cowoker who used to mine bitcoins back then. He said that it was a fun hobby but when he was moving to California he didn’t think he would be able to make enough money to justify the higher electrical bill.

He was making about $60 a month farming Bitcoin, when it was $0.30 a piece. Had he kept just a month’s worth of that, it would be worth $20.5 million dollars.

Getting your star stolen in MarioParty is probably the leading cause for most of the murders.

I remember going out at night then leaving my jeans on my bathroom floor, then in the morning the whole bathroom would smell like an ashtray. It was the worst!

Unfortunately it’s still like that at my in-laws houses. Whenever they send our kids birthday or Christmas presents in the mail, we have to air out the packages for a few days.

My brother knocked up his girlfriend when they were teenagers. They hid the pregnancy (not very well IMO but apparently our parents were clueless). As fate would have it, they had the baby on April Fool’s Day. My dad was on vacation in Hawaii at the time, so my brother called him to let him know he was a grandparent. Awkward…

Yeah FAA management is really shitting the bed. The controllers that I know also feel like they are unable to seek professional help for stress and health issues out of fear that they would lose their jobs. It’s amazing that there aren’t more disasters.

Exactly. With that being said, ATC shortages are a serious, serious problem. I’m honestly surprised it hasn’t made more headlines, but maybe that will be a silver lining to this crash. Most major ATC facilities are dangerously understaffed with controllers working mandatory overtime. They are not hiring and training people nearly fast enough to account for the amount of controllers that are set to retire.

Just had to look this up. Apparently they do. The the magnetron (the electrical element that converts electrical energy into microwave energy) will not maintain the same power levels over time.

Any idea what that says at the bottom?

My brother works for the FAA. It’s been fucked for a while now and Trump isn’t gonna make it better. They are dangerously understaffed.

That being said, yeah this wasn’t Trump’s or the FAA’s fault. The helicopter pilot was told to maintain visual separation with the landing plane and then didn’t do so.

It’s impressive and also a little bit depressing how accurate that quote is from almost 2,500 years ago. Shows humanity really doesn’t change.

Just goes to show that while Trump is the face of the problem, he’s more of a symptom than the cause. The Republican party is rotten to the core and even if Trump chokes on a Big Mac tomorrow, the problem is not going away.

I don’t think they’d shut up. I think they’d try to force every other business to do the same!

90s doctors should have been more specific when they told us to eat more greens.

Setting aside their creepy praise for Hitler for a minute, the rest of that message is still pretty telling. They seem to think that any protest by educated people is a protest against the United States. They don’t understand that it’s possible to love your country and recognize when something is unjust and needs to change.

Police kill a black man and people protest? They must hate America.

When we were picking out a photographer for our wedding, we heard a piece of advice that had stuck with me over the years. Which was to think of wedding photos as an appreciating asset that gets more valuable over time.

You can look at your photos the week after the wedding and they might not seem all that special. The memories are still fresh and not much has changed. But then when you look at them on your 10th or 20th anniversary , it brings up those memories you had forgotten about. It reminds you of happy times with friends and relatives that might be dead now. Fast forward to 50 years later and those pictures might be the most priceless thing that you have.

So yeah… AI photos might fill that Instagram need of modern weddings, but long-term feel completely worthless. Hoping this story is fake as well, but wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some truth to it.

Just more recipes for this dude to make videos about!

Gotta love the party of “small government”. Not only is it small enough to fit in your bedroom, apparently it’s also small enough to fit in your grocery store’s HR department.

“The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve,” according to the memo…

Jesus Christ it’s just scary word salad with these people. I guess it always has been, but God damn it’s so infuriating.

This is such a concise and accurate description of everything that’s wrong with corporations.
