Bitcoin mining: Not Even Once poo poo this summer the heat's been defeating my swamp cooler pretty well on the ground floor of my apartment, and the computer room is the hottest room in the house without a computer. Even a sub-1000w system with a 2060 is making the room close to unlivable for anyone except the cat on certain days. Giving yourself heatstroke to generate fake money is just

Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co, the vultures that bought Toys R Us, saddled it with the debt of its own purchase and drove it out of existence are purchasing Simon & Schuster publishing.

Capitalism is so efficient that it spawns entities that go around intentionally crashing viable businesses so it can feed on the corpse, all perfectly legal of course.

I still can't believe how quickly these private equity firms can gut a company.quote:In 2022, Prophet Brand Relevance Index ranked Instant Pot No.6 in the "Top 10 Brands in the U.S.". quote:In April 2019 Instant Pot merged with Corelle Brands, owned by a private equity firm Cornell Capital... quote:On June 12, 2023, Instant Brands filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after high interest rates and waning access to credit hit its cash position and made its debts unsustainable. The most popular kitchen appliance of the decade yet somehow not profitable enough.

Cerekk posted:Please tell me where to find the grocery store where the cashiers aren't required to pretend they care how my day is going, so that I can shop there. Village Foods in Hyde Park Chicago. Sassy black ladies with face tattoos gossiping among themselves and laughing while checking you out as you cracked up at their jokes. And Marvin Gaye was blasting on the speakers. The food itself was garbage but it was the best grocery store ever.

Shittier Thing: no rain, no monsoon at all. I remember as a kid years ago, the summer half bright as gently caress and then the sky would blacken, and it would rain for hours. But thanks to climate change, we're on a month of temps well over average and no rain at all. loving cactus are dropping dead.

There are less and less monarch butterflies every year for their migration. One day I fear there'll be a year where there's none. And the world would be shittier.

Fireflies, too, though not migrating. I remember fireflies showing up in May and sticking around until August, or something like that. Basically all summer. Now we're lucky to see them for a few nights in June.

Well goons, you're not going totally demented or wearing rose tinted glasses about insects, some studies peg the loss of insect biomass in the last 30 years as about 75%. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_insect_populations There's wiggle room as to how much decline there is, but ultimately it's a loving lot. Most people don't care because bugs are gross, but they are kind of important for the planet.

I love that we murdered the planet for Q3 profits. I love knowing it will only get worse, year after year, until I die because some six sigma rear end in a top hat wanted a third mansion.

How the gently caress do you even try to sleep when your room is 110? I recently lost air conditioning for almost two weeks and the temperature inside my house reached 90, I had to sleep on the couch under the living room fan because my room was intolerable, and trying to use my desktop (with only one GPU) was absolute torture. Buce posted:this been said before but it's infuriating how youtube recommends rightwing/fascist bullshit no matter how often you block the channels and try in vain to coach the algorithm. just a loving joke I haven't seen any overtly fashy content in years, the closest I've gotten was a sci-fi analysis channel run by a '90s style libertarian who wasn't even all that interested in converting people to smol gubmint and goldbuggery, and a few sketchy Linux/FOSS channels. It's certainly nothing like 2015-2018 when I was bombarded with recs for alt-right videos. Most of the political content I get recommended is from queer channels like Caelan Conrad, Jessie Gender, Sophie from Mars, etc. Woolie Wool fucked around with this message at 06:24 on Aug 8, 2023 |

I don't own a Ford but I saw them advertising the FordPass app which seems to have moved features like remote unlock and remote start to your phone (presumably to make it a monthly subscription feature). It takes all your driving and personal data and in exchange you get exciting FordPass reward points which it helpfully suggests you can redeem for badges to give you bragging rights over your friends. You can, however, hand your digital key to anyone else with the FordPass app to unlock and start your car which seems like the most insane security vulnerability imaginable but cool I guess that's somehow better than just lending my friends my car keys on the incredibly rare occasion someone else drives my car?
