Accidentally important.

Drop all of them on the ground and see how they bounce then weigh the one that didn’t bounce as high to any that all went the same height. Tell the interviewer you don’t get paid to play by the rules.

How would you answer this common Deutsche Bank interview question?

Printers never work because they are an affront to God. Man was not meant to pull objects from the digital realm into the real world. Icarus is flying too close to the sun.

When I was in the outside I felt the same in the inside it’s hilarious how decisions are made by how people feel that day.

Hot take: None of this shit actually matters at all. Nobody knows how much cash flow a business is going to generate. Your 150-line model is as good (or bad) as my 2-line model.

There is a 9 tab excel file out there with the liquidated damages on phase 1 of the spend just chomping at the bit to acquire a dairy farm for $123m

The company offered 10x market rate and gave farmers 5 days to respond. That tells you everything about who actually has leverage in this deal.

When a Fortune 100 company requires NDAs before revealing its own name, pressures a response in under a week, and offers $48,000 per acre for $6,000 land, they’re not being generous. They’re telling you the land is worth more than $48,000 to them and they need you to say yes before you figure out why.

Public records filled in the gap the NDAs were designed to hide. The company filed for a 2.2 gigawatt power load from the local coal plant. That’s nearly double the plant’s entire annual generation capacity. You don’t file for 2.2 gigawatts on a speculative site. That filing means engineering, permitting, and capital allocation are already committed. Which means walking away from this specific location has a cost measured in months of delay and hundreds of millions in sunk planning.

The farmer has one asset the company can’t replace: this exact parcel, in this exact grid position, near this exact power plant. There is no “find another site” when your electrical infrastructure filing is already locked to a geography.

This is why at least seven families on the same road all said no independently. The 82-year-old mother rejected $33 million. The daughter rejected $26 million. Tim Grosser rejected $10 million. A Pennsylvania farmer rejected $15.7 million and sold his development rights for under $2 million to a farmland trust, permanently removing the land from any future offer.

The internet is framing this as sentiment vs. economics. Farmers choosing “heritage” over “generational wealth.” The 5-day pressure timeline, the NDAs, and the 2.2 gigawatt filing exposed the real dynamic: the company needs the land more than the farmers need the money. Every month of delay costs the developer more than the premium they offered.

$26 million was the lowball. The farmers just didn’t flinch.

Did anyone realize what just happened here?

This is one of the strangest things happening in tech right now.

Scientists put 200,000 human brain cells on a chip and taught them to play Doom.

Yes. Real neurons.

> $35K per system
> 30 units run on ~1000W
> Your brain runs on ~20W
> AI data centers burn megawatts

They’re now selling Wetware as a Service.

Developers can literally deploy code to living neurons in the cloud.

This neither simulation nor silicon, this is Actual brain cells.

Welcome to biological computing.

@CharmanderChief Houndoor, obviously. Should I wait to evolve my scyther until post E4 or grind my shitty rock starter to level 55 before they are useful?

If the goal is to complete the game it’s an obvious choice.

If the goal is to beat the game there is no question about big bulb at the start. It also allows you to run gyarados and arcanine freely. Only real kantoheads know how to build the right team.

[Pokemon Gems @PokemonGems]

It’s more than the stats.

Sleep Powder + Leech Seed literally takes care of any problem pokemon you face in FRLG since the AI hardly switches out.

As for RBY, Venusaur gets Crits on Razor Leaf 100% of the time and Toxic/Leech Seed stacks due to a glitch.
