Besides the Covid vaccine, I also have consumed some dihydrogen monoxide. Shit.
Also, those parking lots are likely place holders for building lots.
You’ll never see this in New York City or in DC for example.
There are surface lots in Manhattan, though they are being developed into multistory buildings and no new surface lots are being constructed.
Some of the remaining surface lots probably continue to operate as placeholders for “future tall building site”, while rights/price/building codes are being hashed out. In the meantime, you can charge a lot of money for a parking spot in Manhattan.
But someone recently said he revived the NFT market single-handedly, with people making a bigly 1000% return!
The loophole seems to be having an app pinned to the screen (I’ve never done this, but it presumably keeps the phone from locking) while requiring you to have an unlocked phone to use NFC payments. This doesn’t seem to be a common scenario (I can imagine doing this in some sort of kiosk mode, or giving the phone to a kid and locking the app so he can’t wander around).
Maybe all his companies are like this, it’s just the first one that’s been so public and shown his true colours.
I’m not going to look for it now, but there was a Twitter thread from last year that kind of talks about this.
Basically, SpaceX and Tesla are companies that grew up with Elon as an early investor, and have learned early on how to contain him. They institutionally have firewalls in place to keep him from wrecking the real work they’re doing, like dedicated Musk-handlers that slow walk his bad ideas until he changes his mind a few days later.
Twitter basically had none of those institutional firewalls, and could not container him with company culture.
Meanwhile, you have the Elon fanboys still pretending Twitter is doing better than it ever has.
replyWell, it is, if you’re a Nazi.
To be fair, those are Mission Impossible chase scenes really disrupt traffic.
Ah, yes, Little Bobby DROP TABLES;
And the BBC.
Frankly, all news organizations should run their own Mastodon servers as authoritative sources for their news articles and their reporters. Right now, with the ever changing badges on Twitter, they’re just Star-bellied Sneetches.
“OK, how can we make a web interface more difficult to use?”
I need to point out that “aliens communicating in memes” was done by ST:TNG, in the Darmok episode.
Alien: “Shaka, when the walls fell” (essentially Disappointed Guy meme)
Picard: …
Why does Baron, being the tallest Trump, not simply eat the other Trumps?
But how do you keep the ice cream cake from melting over that time?
IIRC, the Soviets placed their primary artillery school and tank factories in Ukraine. As a percentage of the USSR’s military base, the Ukrainians were well above average.
On the other hand, the Simpsons did a not-so-funny-now with this:
Remember that the USSR included not just Russians but Ukrainians.

Eh, it’s easier for them to say it was mRNA shedding from vaccinated people hanging around his house.
