"Because his wealth is entirely in overinflated Tesla stock, and because he’s already massively overleveraged from buying Twitter, coming up with that money means selling Tesla stock, and because the Tesla stock price is based on dreams and unicorn farts any amount he sells tends to sink the price.

And there’s no telling when the Tesla stock price will just collapse entirely as investors finally start valuing it like a car manufacturer, and not like kind of predestined savior of the human race (for context, Tesla in its entirety is currently valued at $800bn. Ford is currently valued at $40bn. And Ford sell a LOT more cars than Tesla)."

This is a quote from the comment above. What he’s “smart” about is being a conman. Which doesn’t really take intelligence. It just takes some trial and error and enough money starting out to make mistakes.

We got attacked and then in fear gave away our freedoms for the promise of more protections. There were people blowing the whistle each time but we ignored them. Patriot Act. Lobbying to not consider social platforms news aggregates. Lobbying to not pay news outlets, Lobbying to weaken anti-trust laws. Lobbying to kill legislation protecting children online. Lobbying against legislation to protect user privacy. Lobbying for the user of tech like facial recognition.

This kind of thing has been happening for ages.

I think this may be algorithmic. Like steam gives suggestions based on what you have already purchased, and what other people who purchased the same games also like. Additionally it’ll tell you what your friends are playing if you friend them on steam. This sort of gives everyone a different picture of steam suggestions that is tailored to them. It might be a good idea to find older non-live service games you like, add them to a new profile or wishlist, and then see what new information pops up for you.

My district pays probably close to that more than the district in TX where my friend works. But her cost of living is so much lower that moving here to be a teacher is taking a pay cut. Cost of living matters quite a lot and it also depends on what your district has to offer. It’s never as simple as just the difference in pay.

Thank you for the suggestions. I’ll check it out.

Send it and report back. I am interested in subscribing to their newsletter. You’ll let them know, right?

I second Jaipur. Love that game.

Also absolutely true.

1. Most carrier locked phones can be unlocked.

2. Locking the bootloader is a security feature specifically to prevent people who don’t know what they’re doing from downloading malicious apps. If you do know what you’re doing it’s reasonable to say that you will buy a phone where the bootloader can be unlocked, and are capable of unlocking it which is actually a relatively straight forward process.
