I know. I’m just saying they passed up on the U.S. and whoever else bidded for 2022, for a bunch of nouveau-riche asswipes who didn’t have the infrastructure in place 12 years ago, worked thousands of migrant laborers to death to build something like 8 new soccer stadia that once the World Cup is done won’t get much…

Don’t believe them. ANYONE and ANY BOT with a Ticketmaster account was allowed to enter the ticket queue. It wasn’t until you waited hours to get through the queue that you had to enter your presale code. Had they simply required you to enter the code prior to entering the queue, this all could have been avoided.

Specifically, it’s CBS and its O&Os. But aside from KPIX, none of these stations are saying it on their own Twitter feeds. They’re just logging off. I’m reading it’s not just because of Musk’s big-brained moves but because the impact those have on security. And that CBS Sports isn’t doing the same because of a…

Last I heard, Twitter is now worth $8 billion. For context, he paid $44 billion for it a month ago.

The guy probably did save Haribo some hassle. Not because there was any possibility in anyone else cashing the check, but because locating the check likely saved the Accounts Payable team at Haribo a bit of work in trying to understand why an open invoice wasn’t paid.

It always seems like white collar crimes are very hard to prosecute and have rather lenient penalties when compared to ‘regular’ crimes... unless you commit one that pisses off a whole lot of rich people. Holmes gets 11 years, Bernie Madoff got 150 years - one of these crypto guys is probably going to be frozen in…

I’m really gullible but I work in medicine so even I knew from the outset this was dodgy and would have asked at a minimum for verified comparisons of Theranos tests versus regular pathology testing on the same samples in order to see that it actually worked. Independently too because I know they were fiddling stuff…

Well, yeah, but America put in a bid to host this year. I’m sure other countries where people drink and slave labor isn’t used to build soccer stadiums did, too.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:

“maintaining their traditions”

Who would have thought dealing with a theocracy could be so limiting?

Talking about Y2K like it was somehow overblown is ignorant and naïve. Y2K was real. It didn’t solve itself. And it didn’t get solved by bloggers.

From what I hear it’s going to die on Monday

This guy’s post was a joke, not literal.
(But it IS damn funny!  And not at all implausible.)

It's going about how I thought it would, I just didn't think ot would all happen at 16x speed.

How popular is her act?

“Ah, Smithers, you laughed when I bought Ticketmaster! ‘No one’s going to pay a hundred percent service charge!’”

Just speaking from my own observations, Missouri has no shortage of mom and pop and regional-chain liquor stores despite allowing full alcohol sales at grocery stores and gas stations. It helps that the liquor stores are usually cheaper and have a lot better selection.

She’s allowed to say what she wants, and the public is allowed to call her a bigot. If no one watches besides Christian fundies, the network fails. Then DJ ends up relegated to Fox News, complaining about how the liberal woke media censored her. Nope. Free market principles at work. 

Ah you have to love the followers of the magic carpenter. If they actually listened to what he said the world would be a better place.
