truly amazing how galaxy brained it is in retrospect to effectively shutter a leading web site by forcing it to stick to sports during an election and one of the most world-changing events to happen in the last hundred years

yeah i just mean that the mandate to stick to sports crippled them...could have been anything else and they would not be allowed to cover it.

FWIW at least on the tech side, 20-30% is closer than than 2x for calculating benefits. so 20 employees at 70k salary and 15k benefits/etc. for 85k fully burdened is 1.7m. Based on their sub numbers, adding in nominal hosting spend and a CMS and billing and etc, i think 2.3m is very feasible for them to be slightly profitable and hiring a couple folks.

here's to hoping! it's great to see Laura Wagner join too

i feel like I could at least hoist up a 3 in an NBA game. there would then be a 1-5% chance it would go in depending on How Hard I'm Feeling It that day.

i cling to that because I think the worst thing that happens to me is either I get the ball smashed back in my face so hard I get my nose broke, whereas in the NHL/NFL/MLB i would get awful concussion, awful concussion, and potential TBI from getting clocked in the head. so if there's any genies out there, i'll take my odds in making a bucket

definitely uncommon for an investment banker, but I've known many dudes where that would not be an uncommon lunch/dinner. but we have some heavy hitters in the South. I'm not even a heavyweight w/r/t Southern eating and I normally hit about $22-24 at TB.

as a certified bull poo poo fake tech job haver, Elon IMO is really misunderstanding where the actual trouble will come from w/r/t brand impersonation. sure, users will find it tiring, but a lot of us think it's very funny.

but the marketing people at all these companies having to do extra work--and specifically needing to respond very quickly at any hour to fake accounts? brother you're messing up the gravy train. I'm trying to play Crusader Kings here

i'm hoping it turns out to be that Simmons was trying to get them to do a series on how like Princess Anne is Slim Charles because she's the stable loyal one, but Diana tried to be Stringer Bell or something, and the idea was something even stupider than what they ended up doing.

People have been drinking Codeine/Promethazine in soda since like the 80s and 90s lmao.

i never knew this as called a dirty soda but the college I went to handed out quarts of codeine like candy. i'd like to try to combine the two. that Dr. Pepper with peach and cream looks delicious. i don't think I can trust myself to acquire codeine now that I have money though
