yeah currently working with Azure. what a PITA.
I wonder if the extended downtime is just due to the on-call engineers waiting for their azure auth tokens to refresh within azure's own damn network.

The comment was about heroin. Were you offered heroin?
Is cocaine and marijuana available from the government too? If not, what relevance is your comment?
Was this the first and only time you were waiting at a bus stop in Switzerland? If so, perhaps a notable story, if not then we'll need more information to conclude how bad this thug problem really is in Switzerland.

it's definitely increased recently. despite it being at best inconslusive and at worse, false.

I came across a player piano in a charity shop - they really wanted rid of it and I bought it for cash I had in my wallet, and much less than it cost have a piano movers deliver it for me (which was surprisingly cheap itself tbh!).
It's in quite some state of disrepair, with most of the tubes rotted. I'm (very slowly) restoring it. It's fun but it's a piano too, so that part needs restoring first, and then the player mechanism next. So many small parts to attend to.
Anyway, they can be quite cheap to get if you're happy with a broken one, because they're hard to move (they are even heaver than a normal piano!). Just try get one that at least works ok as a piano!

Democracy is the rule of the people.
Companies and banks aren't interested in investing where the people have power. They want to invest where the companies and banks themselves have power.
So long as the companies and banks can influence the gangsters, they don't care.

Worth keeping in mind that many plastic surgeons are in competition with drugs like Ozempic.

Not to be nitpicky but it's not quite that simple. BlueSky is a Public Benefit LLCs which is explicitly for-profit but does have some other limits - so it does count for something. I can't find exactly what BlueSky's public benefit is claimed to be though.

"Liu, who answered some of my questions, did not respond when I asked for the exact language the Bluesky PBLLC used to describe its public benefit mission when incorporating the company. She also didn’t say whether the company would publish its annual benefits reports — reports that PBLLCs are required to create each year, but PBLLCs incorporated in Delaware, where Bluesky was incorporated, are not required to make them public."

That's not what MMT basically says.
MMT is more like: "printing money is not limited by the things you think it is".

This thunderf00t video made me avoid "Undecided by Matt Ferrell": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQDXqOfC61U
