People very much had 20GB drives that year. Sure, 8GB, 12GB, 13.6GB we’re more common capacities but any mid to high-end system that didn’t have (near enough) 20GB was bad value and drives bigger than that were available.

The guy must be a an absolute fucking scumbag.

aka the main Trump administration job requirement.

Sure, it feels wrong to joke about it, but given Trump and a substantial portion of his cabinet has a history of abuse as well, significantly more so than the average population or current administration, it is by no means only a joke.

Should have stuck with the British Monarchy, powerless as it comes. A woman as head of state for 70 years and even better, no elections for any president during any of time.

Here I go trying to explain my joke: The joke is that Stargates can only exist in or around Vancouver, because near enough the entirety of all Stargate TV series was filmed there.

But are we sure that's a Einstein–Rosen bridge portal device that allows for near-instantaneous teleportation across both interstellar and extragalactic distances?

Its location doesn't look instantaneously like a place in or even around Vancouver, BC.

i’m pretty sure it’s an open case that prosecutors are looking into.

If I had a dollar for every "looking into" related to the Trump presidency that resulted in absolutely no consequences for Trump ever, I'd have... all the dollars?

Which will never happen because the Republicans are dead set on never changing any system in any way that's not directly in their benefit and no one else's. Until that moment arrives, which is never, the only option is to pick your particular flavour of straight-up fascism (Republicans these days) or anything else (Democrats) in the party primaries.

So the timeline is:

  1. To all the people around Harris: "They are absolute garbage"
  2. Let's also call Puerto Rico an "island of garbage"
  3. We are too dumb to understand basic grammar, in response to the rhetoric in point 2. being called garbage
  4. Let's near enough keel over trying to reach the door handle of a garbage truck

Yep, that's the Republican Party.

Ah, yes, if only there was some Illinois politician close to Obama who had been associated with crimes similar to those of Trump, who had been absolutely and unambiguously disavowed by Democrats and imagine then also if only he had some type of relationship despite all that with Trump, who would also pardon him or something after his criminal conviction, making your comment like one big giant case of projection.

lol, that would just be silly wouldn’t it.

It would be just way too coincidental and spot on for words.

Google ‘Blagojevich’.

OK, here goes nothing, going to receive a roasting... TSMC is booked out to high heaven, Nvidia is completely in control of anything AI with no other company coming close to touching them, and at the end of the day, this is all but 1 month in the economy while most P/E for your average business even is near 15 or 20, corresponding to about 200 months. Cisco didn't have a moat worth a dime and households didn't even have always-on Internet back then, while Nvidia gets to basically set their price. Sure, AI isn't turning out to be a great source of profit for AI providers, but Nvidia sells the shovels, not the gold or stakes of land.

Sure 11% is excessive, but I can't see it drop like a rock any time soon. Because even if AI bursts like a bubble they are still the best at computer graphics by some margin as well, they'll still be the best at parallel computation. And if that fails, they're the best at making games do things, they know how to build computers and mobile devices, etc., etc. They made the Nintendo Switch for crying out loud and an RTX in my PC that I haven't used for anything AI in ages. They'll be fine.

And one other thing, their P/E ratio was well above 100 a bit more than a year ago. It's at like 60 now? And the market cap doesn't really count for anything, I mean VW was the most valuable company in the world during a short squeeze. Cisco's P/E was apparently 200 at one point.

this race...

this race?

The past three Republican presidents saw a job growth of 1 million, the past three Democratic presidents 51 million. Now sure, the president doesn't define every aspect of the economy, but my god that big a discrepancy is not accidental. As someone not from America, I don't understand why this race is so close, but why any race involving the Republicans, even outside of Trump, would be. I'll consider Romney an exception though, but he doesn't seem representative of the Republican Party before or after him.
