post:
 Don’t bother, maybe go the download digital prints route, I know a few people that are making 30-40k/year selling crappy digital artwork in downloadable form on Etsy.

I don’t understand it myself or why people would download a shitty derivative unoriginal crappy piece of art or design but for $5-$10 a pop enough people are making those purchases I guess.

The prints are great. Blacks are dark like black hole. Paper is superb.
The only negative is that it takes around 8-10 days to get your prints.

 Elon Musk has installed Starlink directly at the Whitehouse. A Musk lieutenant ventured onto a roof to install Starlink. The Secret Service didn’t know he was there. The incident triggered a confrontation over conflicts of interest & cyber and physical security.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/…

“It’s super rare” to install Starlink or another internet provider as a replacement for existing government infrastructure that has been vetted and secured, said Jake Williams, a vice president for research and development at Hunter Strategy, a cybersecurity consultancy. “I can’t think of a time that I have heard of that.”

“It introduces another attack point,” Mr. Williams said. “But why introduce that risk?”

Waldo Jaquith:
I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

 Getting a shot of a projector at the weekend as my daughter is having a movie birthday.

Looked out a Samsung surround sound & dvdplayer setup I had about 15 years ago from the garage.

Hooked it up and it still works. Sound is decent but nothing not the high quality of speaker systems today and the fan inside the box makes a hell of a noise. Probably everything was noisey back then.

Slapped in a DonnieDarko DVD. Man DVD quality looks super-shite on a 55" tv.

We are so spoiled these days with 4k streaming services.

Got boxes of DVDs that I think the kids are going to enjoy going through. Their little minds are blown that a movie is on a round mirrored disc.

 $1.4bn is a lot to fall through the cracks, even for Tesla
When money spent on assets doesn’t result in assets

Such anomalies can be red flags, potentially indicative of weak internal controls. Aggressive classification of operating expenses as investment can be used to artificially boost reported profits.

[User] monNom

comment: The argument is that Tesla had expenditures of $6.9B but listed assets as valued at $5.5B, about 20% less. Taxes and fees could explain the entire discrepancy.

comment: could but also could not.... what are the chances u think?

 "One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been deceived long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the deception. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The deception has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."

comment: idealist, yeah on the cloud as well but if it stores some project files locally as well it can fill up fast. 8gb ram and 256GB storage

Its stockpile of 60% enriched uranium is enough for six nuclear bombs if enriched to 90%.

If an agreement is not reached within 2 months, all hell breaks loose.

post:
 I probably already posted this and forgot, but nothing makes me laugh more than MAGA, and plenty of non-MAGA conservatives saying "Liberals loved electric cars until Musk supported Trump."

No... liberals liked, and still like, electric vehicles (a type of car), but soured on Tesla (a brand of electric car) once Musk revealed himself to be a Nazi-loving, sieg-heiling maniac hell-bent on destroying the federal government as we know it so that he can make more money and preen in his power.

These are people who cancel beer brands for daring to support transgendered people and refuse to watch Disney movies because of DEI. It's funny watching them struggle so much to notice their own hypocrisy.

post:
 Musk's fundamental problem is that he's alienating Tesla's core customer base of upper middle class liberals. Trump supporters are unlikely to buy electric cars in large numbers even if Trump does an infomercial for them.

All of Musk's actions in politics, now and in the future, are going to end up further alienating and antagonizing Tesla's potential customers. Then as the value of the company falls, he lashes out more and more at this same group of people, calling them traitors and terrorists.

 Nervous about Trump, international tourists scrap their U.S. travel plans

Canadians are skipping trips to Disney World and music festivals. Europeans are eschewing U.S. national parks, and Chinese travelers are vacationing in Australia instead.

International travel to the United States is expected to slide by 5 percent this year, contributing to a $64 billion shortfall for the travel industry, according to Tourism Economics.

comment: It probably shouldn't be moving unless you give it a command/objective.

The owner of Facebook and Instagram is considering charging UK users for an advert-free version of its platforms after agreeing a settlement in a landmark privacy case.

Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta agreed to stop targeting a user with adverts based on their personal data after a legal agreement that avoided a trial in the high court in London.

Meta already offers a no-ads service in the EU costing €7.99 a month after a 2023 ruling by the European court of justice, the highest in the EU.

 Whoa crazy.

Director Carl Erik Rinsch aressted for stealing $11 millions from Netflix and spending it on luxuries and lavish lifestyle: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/net…

At first he lost half of the $11M in failed investments and then recouped some losses with crypto currency gambling.

Actually Netflix blew over $40-50 million on him and his production that never materialized.

I still remember his ads way back and his short film  "The Gift".

He was also represented by Ridley Scott's commercial production company RSA and was married to his daughter.

And I can remember him defending his movie flop 47ronin on Twitter which was very cringe. He was arguing with individuals made a really bad look of himself.

comment: I was going to ask why the right lacks a sense of humour, why I never see you lot laughing at Trump and MAGA the way the rest of us laugh at ourselves

comment: ...but the hours of entertainment you provide us hotroddy is just priceless, keep up the bootlicking from whatever internment camp they have you in.

 Saw my co-worker's wife on a dating app the other day. And they're married just recently and have a few months old baby together. I knew she was cheating on him before because somebody told me about her going to sex parties but I didn't think she would still cheat on him when they got married and have a kid.

So I told him about it and showed him screenshots of her dating app profile. She even had pics on it that he took of her.

His reaction was of somebody who just dismissed it in ignorance and wouldn't want to know the truth as to not shake up his little world. Can't blame him but it's fucked up of her.

hopefully they can still open a bible or at least attend a mega-church where they can learn about satan planting dinosaur bones to test your faith.

side note my son is looking into some US schools for soccer and he was informed that Canadian kids don't have to write SATs and that a 4.0 GPA in the US is a 2.7 equivalent in the Canada. nuts.

I guess those jimmy Kimmel videos asking Americans to find the US on a map are accurate after all. sigh.

comment: so in the US 93% and above is 4.0 whereas in Canada all you need is 80% and above to match a US 4.0

comment: and I'm not glorifying the Canadian education system or anything because what would a 4.0 for a Japanese or Chinese or Indian kid be? 32%? lol
