One could argue that the fine is merely the cost of doing business given the way it’s structured and what it actually costs the company.
ie. That fine should arguably be significantly higher to have any substantial effect on the company’s behaviour.
Paid over ten years.
Merely the cost of doing business.
Jesus H, I bet it costs a fucking fortune to heat that up for the sake of a couple of pizzas.
Man, you’re gonna look daft in a few weeks when the ice shelf falls off and the wave drowns half the coastal population centres…
Well, at least the river won’t get so muddy as the future becomes the present, and there isn’t any snowpack to melt.
Silver linings I guess?
Except it’s being sold as the second coming of Jesus Christ that will suck your genitals while doing the jobs of ten of your subordinates at a fraction of the cost.
Given that the spending phase of the bubble is still in full swing, the only possible outcome of this absolute shitshower is a serious economic crash that will eventually flatline entire countries because of just how wide and how deep the pool of “investors” (read: over-leveraged, entitled gamblers playing with other people’s money) ultimately is.
Put up or shut up.
You make assertions like that, you best bring receipts.
Money and power always escape the laws that bind the rest of us plebs. Have you learned nothing? 💛
They’re being extradited to the UK for a long string of charges up to and including possession of kiddie porn if the latest news is accurate.
We don’t look kindly on that shit here in the UK. They go to special prisons, as regular inmates of all stripe shiv kiddie fiddlers as a matter of pride. Not a great thing really, I know, but I admit a pang of satisfaction nonetheless.
So yeah, their reception here will be an enthusiastic one, I’m sure.
Because making it work well costs more than making it work barely, and those costs are ultimately profits not being paid to shareholders now.
Those making the decisions get paid their bonuses based on the now, not the maybe, in the future.
It’s really that simple.
I suspect Musk is trying to ensure his satellites are up before anyone else’s, so when the inevitable legislation is enacted to control who launches what, he already “owns” the lion’s share of “orbital real estate”.
With a Super El Niño brewing right now, I wouldn’t bank on next year being cooler… 🫤
People don’t buy what they want to buy, they buy what the constant barrage of advertising tells them to buy. Starting with those most susceptible, then peer pressure gets added to the adverts, add in government lobbying and a list of other underhanded tricks, and bosh, job done.
E-cigs, wank tanks, social media, “designer products”, the list goes on.
Biased how?
Totally not a bubble, honest guv!
Cucumbers could easily be triggering feline responses to snakes, which are most certainly a danger to them.
I like you.
I’m as much a nerd as the next, but I also play a lot of different games, with a lot of different people on different platforms, and that’s not feasible (yet) on anything other than windows.
I hate it, but it is what it is.
*Mask up and disassemble that shit for parts on the spot. Make it serve the people, rather than spy on them.
“All these people saying they know people who’ve died in car accidents are talking bullshit. I drive every day, and I’ve not died.”
Dickhead.
Still, this post is outdated bullshit.
