I’m worried about YouTube, but the rest of it can go. I don’t think anyone has the storage space for YouTube except Google. I wouldn’t be surprised if YouTube’s data was in the exabyte range.
That’s not the part I’m concerned about; I’m concerned about the fact that there are almost 2 decades of videos on YouTube. Like, I don’t know how many videos are on YouTube, but it’s gotta be in the billions at this point. Where is that all gonna go? Who’s gonna archive it? You think YouTube will spend the money to archive it all if they’re going bankrupt?
I don’t think it’s that necessarily. To me it’s things like that: i needed a toaster, and didn’t want to go on Amazon or whatever. I went to a real store and looked at toasters. I found one that fits my needs. The guy who worked there said they fon’t have that one here, but can order it. Neat, that’s just like me ordering it, bun inconvenient and more expensive.
Same thing happened when i needed a new food processor. They didn’t have the one i wanted, so i took the expedition model they had (yeah i’m an idiot). At home i realised that some parts were missing. So back to the store. They had to order a new one after talking to 3 people, and then pick it up again. So instead of ordering it for cheaper and picking it up from my porch, i wasted like 2 hours to take 3 trips to pay extra. And brick and mortar stores are dying? That’s crazy
Here in the UK there are a number of bigger chain shops that are effectively running their websites as a kind of Amazon, and it’s really frustrating.
Needed a specific chainring for my bike, so went to Halfords website. They had what I wanted, but not in stock. Meaning, when I bought it, they then ordered it from their supplier to collect a few days later.
I needed a cheap tool for a single job from B&Q. Looked on their website, saw they had one for £3, drove up there to get it. But that one is online only, and the cheapest they keep in store is £6.
It’s like the shittiest bits of in store and online all mashed together, and it sucks.
Every time i go to a store and something like that happens i wanna yell: AREN’T YOU WORRIED? YOU ARE THE FIRST ONES WHO GET REPLACED BY A COMPUTER. I hate amazon with a passion, but once i got a empty carton (because someone stole it) it took me one phonecall and 0 proof or anything and they just send it again. I haven’t used their customer support often, but if i did it was super good, compared to when i have to go to the store. Where is the original recipe? Oh it’s opened? This is not how it was packaged originally and so on.

It clear most here didn’t listen to the steam. There is a lot of bullshit in that stream. But this barely meets the bar.
Trump was on the coal and oil train and Elon was basically trying to convince Trump that nuclear power is not as risky as people make it out to be. He even refuted Trump’s claim that the land in Fukushima and other nuclear disasters will be inhabitable for 1000+ years. His example may have been in poor taste, but not like the headlines make it out to be.
P.S. In 2024, is there already not enough material from these two dipshits that the news sites still have to take things out of context for clicks?
It sounds like he was suffering heat-related delirium and should have been prevented from leaving and trying to drive. Most people are unconfrontational though, and may not have even realized what they were seeing, symptomatically.
But as we keep having to remind people, it’s Death fucking Valley. Death is literally there in the name. If you don’t come prepared then ya pays yer nickel and takes yer chances.
The stores that lock up their products are also the stores that don’t enough employees to unlock the cases. The problem isn’t shoplifting the problem is under-staffing.
It’s hard to shoplift in a store that is fully staffed.
If something is locked behind plexiglass at a store, I simply won’t buy it. The few times I have because I was desperate for it and didn’t want/couldn’t wait for the online shipping, I always had to stand there in the aisle awkwardly waiting for an overworked employee who probably wasn’t getting paid enough to come unlock it for me. Feels bad and just makes me want to buy online every time rather than waste a trip to CVS or Home Depot or wherever they’re locking shit up now.
“No subtlety about it,” DeBarber said. “His picture looks like if I go into my bathroom and I turn off the lights and I look in the mirror and I say ‘moist’ three times.”
That dudes going probably to prison for most of the rest of his life but I bet this hurts more.
Of course it’s not just racism. You got to throw in sexism and other kinds of discrimination. This is not just targeting elderly white people, all this certainly it is targeting many of them. It’s also targeting younger white people, and men, for example.
The other thing we should never forget is that Washington is full of sleazy politicians. In 2016, Trump was campaigning as a reformer, and people were hoping that maybe he would magically address some of that corruption. Of course he didn’t, but he played on that hope, as reform candidates always do. And once people buy into him, it’s easier for them to stay bought in than it is to admit that they got played.
Yes, Trump’s shit talking was extremely entertaining during the Republican primary. He brought that up against one of the most despised establishment figures in Hilary Clinton and it was a recipe for victory.
