For all these dumbasses claiming if they had Elon's money they'd end world hunger, cause world peace, educate everyone, or whatever, blah blah blah... No you wouldn't. You're full of shit and everyone knows it, because that's not how the world works.

Throwing money at a problem doesn't fix it. The entire history of government demonstrates that. Saying vapid nonsense just makes weak, unimaginative people with a childlike grasp on reality feel better about themselves for caring harder, while accomplishing nothing.

Meanwhile, the guy you hate revolutionized EVs and self driving cars, brought affordable reliable internet to every corner of the Earth, and is making the dream of colonizing space real. And the process of doing all that has given hundreds of thousands of people jobs.

While you posture about how you'd give everybody an imaginary unicorn, he's done stuff that's actually changed the world for the better.

And you don't get it. You can't get it. Because you're just too fucking small.

@LizzyStarrrdust The cutting political commentary of "I Just Want Some Skank," "Wasted," and "Don't Care."

@AdamLehrerSP Keep on Knocking is a great tune. The rest of the album is meh.

@NimbusXV Coin mechs had little blades in them that would cut any kind of string or fishing line attached to a coin.

@LTGreenwald @sourpatchlyds @Clint_Davey1 Check out the Nice Guys. Great comedy with Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe.

@davepl1968 I've had clients who relied on old systems running WS2008, WinXP, DOS, even OS/2. Sometimes you can P2V the systems... other times you need to do your best to mitigate the odds of the hardware shitting the bed (replacing old mechanical IDE disks w/ CF cards, etc.) Fun, though!

@exQUIZitely @StatsManX I also have collections of PC big box games (mostly DOS), Atari 8-bit, SNES, Vectrex. Hard to say what my most treasured piece is. Most of the console and PC stuff I've had since I was a kid/teenager, but most of the arcade games I've had to fix or restore. I'll think on it.

[P. P. Beefman @WhatAboutThose]

@StatsManX @exQUIZitely I've been collecting since the 90s, before a bunch of newcomers joined the hobby and drove prices way up. The Pole Position was $125 not working, but I got it running in a few days. That was prob 20 years ago. The Op Wolf I got in trade for a Golden Tee prob ~10 years ago?

[P. P. Beefman @WhatAboutThose]

@exQUIZitely Sixteen games in the "working" lineup (not including a few Arcade 1Up machines, don't judge). Another three or four projects waiting for me to find some time.

[P. P. Beefman @WhatAboutThose]

@exQUIZitely You bet. One of 16 games down there right now, plus a few more projects in the garage.

@foundring1 Loved Loom.

@brina1983 @MattWalshBlog You sound like you need a drink.

@exQUIZitely Still play this sometimes, but the original Worms is every bit as good

[P. P. Beefman @WhatAboutThose]

@AnneErickson Hot Rails to Hell by Blue Oyster Cult. I'm not a huge fan (hate Don't Fear the Reaper) but that song is killer.

China’s population is 1.4B people, America has 320m people.

China has been under a surveillance state for decades- 600M surveillance cameras, they can identify citizens w facial recognition w a 98.5% accuracy and they record every move by their citizens

Yet China only has 450 data centers

What data is the US gathering that would justify the US to need 5,000 data centers - 15x what China has, with only a quarter of the population?
