I think I’d rather drink horse piss than any hoppy IPA so I am with you there.
But bourbon barrel aged stouts like KBS or Dragon’s Milk are my favorites. I also enjoy a good Russian Imperial Stout like Old Rasputin.
But any stout that Founders Brewing Company makes is at least 5x better than bottled Guinness for my tastes.
Guinness is the worst stout I’ve ever had. I’m sure out of a Dublin tap it’s an entirely different beast, but out of a bottle in the middle of the US it is horse piss.
Watching Dave Portnoy bait Kyrie Irving into talk about him more cracks me up. He’s a master attention whore and I say that with zero judgment. It’s his entire business model and he doesn’t shy away from that fact. Love him or hate him you have to admit he knows how to play his game.
I love being able to schedule emails. I can write emails to employees at 2am on a Tuesday or in the middle of the day on a Saturday like a psychopath without them wondering if I’m expecting them to watch for emails at insane times.
It’s never been easier to be a top 10% performer. Anyone who does that in a field the world values is going to kill it.
I spent the first decade of my career, the ‘90s, helping Silent and Boomer generation technophobes learn how to use computers while also teaching myself how to write software they could use. I even occasionally did formal day long classes training them how to use Microsoft Excel and Word. I had to start every class teaching several of them how to use a mouse. A few of those people never really understood how to double-click and many people struggled to navigate menus that were nested just because they lacked the dexterity to move the mouse smoothly enough to open one menu level after the other.
I learned that a nontrivial percentage of people can’t deal with hierarchical UIs of any kind. They couldn’t deal with tree views and hierarchical menus and deeply tabbed UIs. The file system was literally impossible for them to understand or navigate. I would bet there is an IQ threshold here if someone ever chose to study it, but since IQ is a taboo subject I’m sure that would never happen.
Anyway, that decade spent supporting people who hate computers but have to use them for their jobs while I was also learning the craft of software development was the perfect preparation for me. The software I built for my business a decade and a half ago is used for only a few months a year by lots of people who don’t care at all about computers, they just care about getting their jobs done. We don’t use any of the UI/UX paradigms that I spent many frustrating hours watching people struggle to understand. We don’t use toolbars with icons only. Our clickable UI elements have words that describe what they do and they animate in a consistent way that tells users they are clickable so users never have to guess which elements they can click on. We don’t assume people can handle drag and drop. We don’t hide UI behind tabs and we never use hierarchy to hide things from users or to make a UI more compact. The only hierarchy is a result of the natural hierarchy that is inherent to the concepts users are already working with every day, and for those concepts we still flatten the hierarchy and show it to users in a single scrollable view. We paginate those lists if we have to, but we don’t hide details behind hierarchical UI. All menus have only one level. People who can’t handle hierarchy can handle scrolling just fine. We have pages that are several pages long because scrolling doesn’t trip users up but almost all the UI paradigms that are used to avoid scrolling do. Our software has a one to one mapping between concepts they use in the real world to do their jobs. We don’t force them to learn a new way to view the world. We use maps to let them navigate geographically important data in places where the geographical relationship between things matters to them. We use colors to show the priority of things on those maps so they can quickly identify potential problems visually. And when all these strategies still fail and users get stuck, a human answers the phone or email or chat when they reach out to us for help and we walk them through it. Even on holidays, weekends, or at 11pm during their busy few months when they are actually using our software. If they need help, a helpful person is there. Even if it is the tenth time they have asked the same damn question. We charge lots of money and that’s what they are paying us for.
My point: even if you and some of your smartest users can handle something you have created, never assume that everyone will be able to. Some users will never understand some things no matter how much you try to explain them. If you have to design something anyone can use there are a bunch of limitations automatically imposed on your design.
Also, there are some subjects that are too complicated for a huge percentage of the population to understand no matter how or how many times you explain them. There is a percentage of the population that will never understand certain aspects of Bitcoin and there is nothing anyone can do to change that. The very nature of the subject is just beyond lots of people and they will always have to resort to trusting people because they will never be able to verify.
Will there be bread served at the circus? 
Neovim, tmux, git, tig, wget, ripgrep, and my dotfiles. Most other stuff is circumstantial.
I didn’t have a clue what point she was trying to make in the Tweet that everyone jumped on, but I didn’t for one minute believe that she was clueless about how bonds work.
But I did find a bunch of new people to flip the BOZO bit on based on their Tweets about that Tweet.
To be fair, I’ve flipped the BOZO bit on most people who comment on macro based on their inability/unwillingness to update their priors in the face of what the Fed has been up to since July ‘21. 
Rob says he’s been getting a lot of deaf Uber drivers lately. I’d bet 1M sats they aren’t deaf and are just using that as an excuse to avoid having to deal with annoying passengers.
I would absolutely do that if I had to drive Uber.
Even if Sam’s insane and irrelevant hypotheticals had any relevance to the real world, he better be prepared to stack up and risk his own life if he thinks he can force me to inject or consume anything against my will.
What part of that is he too retarded to understand?
Personally, I’m very bullish on jobs that require problem solving/diagnostic skills, have less desirable working conditions, and can be turned into a small business.
Diesel mechanics, plumbers, electricians, HVAC, etc.
Those jobs are all unattractive to the antiwork class of loser and they exclude many lower IQ people who would otherwise be willing to do them. The ability to turn the career into a business means there is no upper limit on income for the top 1% of people in those fields.
I think men who do difficult work that not many people are willing and able to do will be handsomely rewarded in the future. As they should be.
We saw multiple radical transformations of the economy while the largest generation in history was at the peak of their careers. It took a generation and a half for that to work itself out.
Any demanding job that the globalists can’t outsource or automate is going to get paid well in the future. Some of those jobs will be digital and some will be physical.
If you aren’t in one of those rarified roles, good fucking luck. Easy jobs will get massacred.
Which is why I don’t waste time with the caveat that of course our activities can have an impact on the composition of the atmosphere.
They have brainwashed people so completely most are incapable of questioning any of it. They have convinced people the PH levels of the oceans will dissolve the fish without explaining how sea life existed in the past when CO2 levels were much higher than their most pessimistic models predict. And that is just one example of many.
It’s a psyop used to manipulate the public. The otherwise smart people who are capable of seeing the truth aren’t willing to look for many reasons including the ones you listed.
I used to think religion was designed to manipulate people in exactly this same way, but I now believe the right sort of religion is a fractal/scalable antidote to these sorts of mass hysteria that are so prevalent in the modern world. Smart people need to be anchored to the truth via the proper narrative and rituals more than dumb people do. Bitcoin helped me see the value of internalized truths and rituals that reinforce those truths.
On her recent WBD appearance Margot Paez detailed how her career was aborted because her research disagreed with the accepted dogmas of the climate cultists and yet she isn’t deterred by that fact. When you listen to her talk about obtaining the credentials she covets you can tell where the search for truth ranks for her.
This is an interesting contrast. 
Looks like LK-99 is being written off as not a superconductor. Shocking, I know.
Do remember those computer models and the promising results they produced when driven by the highest caste of “published scientists” and understand that all such computer models produce equally worthless horeshit. Computerized motivated reasoning is still motivated reasoning.
Don’t let them fuck with the money during the Great Reset. You don’t have a clue what their science experiments will do and neither do they.
Calling specific people out as easily replaceable is even better. Put them all on notice. Either perform and act like you value the job or fuck off.
And this is why Disney wanted nothing to do with Dave. The velvety soft vulvas of the ESG world can’t handle him. 🤣
Dave Portnoy going off on his employees, publicly on Twitter, for not showing up to the office for his first morning back as owner of the company is a thing of beauty. And all the replies with people saying “hire me” are even better.
Roll your own entropy. 
I don’t go quite that far back. I started on a Timex Sinclair in the ‘80s.
Ruby/Linux. It was pretty simple and I got the code written and tested in about an hour. Just needed to do some simple database updates concurrently to finish a data migration from MySQL -> PostgreSQL in a timely fashion.
Doing them single threaded would have taken ≈24 hours. Doing them in parallel spread over about 170 threads on 64 core servers got it done in about 30 minutes.
Truck drivers making more than junior software developers is a great thing. If there aren’t people lined up to do the job it should pay commensurate with the need.
Same will happen for more blue collar jobs as more older people leave the workforce. Jobs that require you to be away from home or endure shitty working conditions should pay better too.
You can’t ship a physical machine or a building to the other side of the planet so cheap foreign labor can maintain them. The locals who acquire the skills to do that work and are willing to suffer the working conditions should be paid well for their troubles. And they will.
