Also this thread lays out just how terminally loving stupid Musk is for deciding to try land dunks on this dude instead of just you know, doing what most corps would do, and quietly handle it without fishing for "epic own, sir!" replies from fanboys.

Yeah, its a small enough community that its likely the guy is either related to, or friends with people with significant political power.

I'm Irish, and while our population is a lot bigger than Icelands, I can directly communicate with a senator, our president, and several members of parliament just because I know them from around the place. I'm not saying they will do anything I ask of them, but I can definitely make dumb jokes at a sitting senator and the president.
He really is a nice aul chap, and is genuinely committed to Irish art and culture.

There was a guy who posted a legendary thread on here back in like 2010 about how his job got made redundant after a merger but they accidentally zeroed out his ID instead of firing him and it turned out the career code for 0000 was "OSHA Supervisor" so he was technically still employed and pulling a paycheck. The thread then detailed how he decided he was going to go along with it as long as he could, and would occasionally like, tape down some cables in the hallway or something. It was a great thread. Other folks have posted similar experiences at different times, but that one always stuck with me.

Yeah this was the first thing that came to mind as well.

IIRC, part of the reason he went unnoticed after layoffs happened was cause of 9/11. Oh and there was one other guy at his company across the country who had the same deal happen to him.

poo poo, now I wanna read that thread again.

I liked his work for rollingstone when talked about the housing bubble, mortgage back securities, and all that.

I remember first discovering him when he wrote a long form article for Rolling Stone about the impending 2006 midterms. It was good stuff, and then like you said, his writing on the housing bubble and the ensuing financial crisis.

Then his brain broke checks cleared. Shame.

when i was a teen i changed the desktop wallpaper of a few school lab PCs to that of an error message warning of imminent shutdown, i was summoned to explain how i hacked the computers and to fix them back. so i think i need to be in control of a social media empire now. make me admin jeff

This, but my friends and I discovered the magic of netsend.

Did you know school administrators hate it when you send a message over the network saying the school server is on fire, and that everyone should evacuate the building immediately? The funniest part about it was they could never figure out who did it, but they correctly guessed which group of shithead kids did it. So they basically told the entire Cisco networking class to knock it off or there would be serious consequences.

A friend about an hour later sent another Netsend that just said "OK". The consequences ended up being they pulled our internet access for about a week.

I regret clicking this tweet because the weapons grade stupid contained within is just too much for any one person to handle.


Then again, are we surprised the inventor of underwater coffins has "opinions" on the war in Ukraine? Waiting for the fuckwit to say something to the effect of "As a HOI IV player..." Followed by the dumbest poo poo imaginable.

Fun fact - Seanbaby (of Seanbaby fame) was tapped to take part in that fight, and after Boll's people realized he was a trained kickboxer and in incredible shape, he never heard back from them. Boll only wanted to clown on weak nerds and didn't hold back at all, it was honestly pretty mean. Seanbaby shared about it on an episode of his podcast that everyone should absolutely listen to: https://1900hotdog.com/tag/dogg-zzone-9000/

(I don't remember what podcast episode it was, that's just a link to the list of episodes.)

Oh hell yeah, that Seanbaby story was great. Though I thought he told it on the behind the bastards episode about Vince McMahon?

But yeah 1900 Hot Dog is a solid podcast too.

Quick question: How much do you guys actually engage with Twitter nowadays? My only contact is seeing tweets embedded in SA posts. I used to look up tweets of people or companies I would be sort of interested in, but at some point Musk made the ridiculously useless change to order tweets by popularity, rather than chronologically. Ever since then that site seems completely useless to me.

Deleted my account last December. Haven't looked back, and just view tweets on here or whenever my friends share one. Zero desire to go back to it or use another Twitter like service.

Hell the only social media account I still have is an Instagram account, and I'm debating just dumping that as well.

Someone shocked that Elon didn't suggest they tunnel under the bay.

I mean we already have two separate tunnels going under. The problem is, you can't transport hazmat material through either tunnel (which is what the bridge was primarily there for).

Don't worry though, I'm sure once someone slowly explains this to Elon he'll say that we should build the tunnel out of the same materials used to make airplane black boxes or something.
