The bloat is real.

Usually you make a deposit after eating at Taco Bell.

Bro, maybe shes just pregnant? It’s still not a good idea to send pregnant women into space, right? Just a theory and one of many possibilities that doesn’t imply racist motives.

Pregnancy seems highly likely. It would be an instant no-go, but it’s completely private and it’s not something bad, so saying “health reasons” would give the wrong idea.

Failed test of some kind or maybe an unexpected pregnancy? It has to be something pretty important, NASA doesn’t mess around when they select astronauts.

“I’m going to have to call in a friend of mine. He’s a specialist with electric cars and government waste.”

“It’s a fair price”

Cops who are concerned with looking tough shouldn’t be cops.

Dear LAPD, I will gladly buy your i3 with 400 miles on the clock at a government auction price.

With LA traffic, 400 miles might be the only amount of distance you can cover reasonably in two years.

Counter-Point -> How much of Episode 6 was planned out when Lucas was working on Episode 5? Sure it worked out okay, but building a second death Star is pretty unimaginative.

Just another example of why Disney needs a more coherent story telling plan between these movies. I know they will likely play a big part in Episode 9, but there were so many plot threads from 7 that Johnson just didn’t give a shit about.

Alternatively, Apple may have NEVER repatriated any of those overseas profits.

I’m sure that’s the goal, getting them to lower it.

Yeah, tariff imbalances seem like the kind of thing one should raise a stink over, especially when the side with the high tariffs is already known for undercutting with knockoffs and lack of labor laws.

headline is wrong... clearly thats a snoyota

quick anecdote: when i started at gizmodo a year ago, my editor told me she wanted an explainer on quantum computing. i said fine, given that i have a physics background. it took me eleven months of reading papers and talking to people before putting together what she asked for and even still i’m sometimes not really…

I’ve armchair studied some of this stuff, even reading a book on quantum computing. Every time quantum computing comes up, I have to sit down and go over the fundamentals over and over again before I can visualize what’s happening...and even then I have this little voice in my head saying I’m an idiot for it not being…

These aren’t traditional assets, there’s no shame in ducking out and grabbing some profits.

You should be free to do as you please as long as you are not harming anyone else. That is freedom.
