Trump / Musk (other than DOGE) Omnibus Thread

What does “rugged” mean?

“Ryan Fournier just rugged a “TikTok” coin…..”

Rug pulled. It’s a market manipulation fraud that is common in crypto and is exactly Trump did with his coin then subsequent launch of the Melania coin.

When I went to the Academy in 21, they had reservation times and the wait was maybe 30 minutes. Perhaps that was a post-Covid thing, but I don't remember that long of a wait in 95 either. Maybe you have gotten unlucky on your Florence trips if 2+ hours is a short wait for you.

That visit was in Spring 2023 when tourism started to swell post Covid. Time of year also impacts the length of line. We had looked at reservation slots and they were all booked...out of curiosity I checked, the whole month was booked.
I went in the early 90s and it was not an issue back then.

Just not the Academy, plenty of other places do it as well (Vatican, Sagrada Familia, etc). There are places that have big crowds, but finding a reservation is not a big problem.

It's the old stuff that costs out the ass. If you have older units that still need the old freon it's very expensive because there is very limited supply (intentionally).

True. The new stuff is more expensive than the old stuff was, but yes, the old stuff is now currently way more expensive than it was. Thank you for helping me clarify.

The newer protocols have proof of stake rather than proof of work. Their energy footprint is miniscule.

But BTC is still ascendant and it is using more and more and more. And proof-of-stake is still useless work that accomplishes essentially nothing.

I wonder if Elon is pissed

I mean they got in office. Those powerful folks might be done with Trump.... Especially after he basically admitted they cheated to win the election

So one of Trump's first acts has been to kill a program that everyone agrees has been working really well. Yep.

Hey MAGAssholes, care to comment on this? You're always so heartbroken by the stories of people who followed the rules and waited in line . . . surely this upsets you, correct? Because you're in favor of legal immigration, just not the illegal stuff, right? Or did you guys finally abandon that lie when Trump gave you cover?

 

[Geisterfahrer]

Because per the commentary here, you don’t want to wind up being the bigger fool.

The cruelty is the cream cheese icing on the MAGA cupcake.
