You know, I'm not sure I ever really read the Pond Rules at our local nature preserve all that closely before
POND RULES: No swimming, jumping or gallivanting. Do not disturb the pond witch. No fishing with dynamite. Sacrifices to water gods on alternate Wednesdays only - NO EXCEPTIONS! Taunt the crows at your own risk. If a hand comes out of the water to beckon you, turn and walk away. Do not feed the weretrout. Is the water burning with cold unholy fire? Report it to the ranger! They’re not ducks. Run. Have fun!

How come in the 80s you either had a six shot revolver or an Uzi. Nobody had the type of semi auto pistol with a clip they do now

The way this is written is so confusing. Why was a remote IT employee talking to the VP about his salary in a restaurant, and later brought up what was said to his direct supervisor? Wouldn't you discuss salary with your supervisor, and go to the VP with concerns about what was said? or HR?

Campbell's soup VP caught on tape trashing his own brand. Oof. www.clickondetroit.com/news/local/2...
In the lawsuit, Garza alleges Bally said Campbell's makes "highly processed food" for "poor people" and made several derogatory comments about Indian employees, calling them "idiots." "We have s--t for f**king poor people. Who buys our s--t? | don't buy Campbell's products barely anymore. It's not healthy now that I know what the f—'s in it," part of the recording said. "Bioengineered meat -- I don't wanna eat a piece of chicken that came from a 3-D printer."

We're going to have shops before the metal detectors where if you don't have a collared shirt, a tie, and a jacket, you can't board. Women will be able to buy skirts. If you cannot afford a skirt one will be provided for you.

They don't get talked about much anymore but Roald Dahl hosted two different horror anthologies & they had wildly different tenures.

Way Out (1961) lasted only 14 episodes and 4 of them are lost media. It only survives through bootlegs.

Tales Of The Unexpected (1979-1988) somehow had 112 episodes.

Oh yeah. Let's have live televised hearings on this so the general public can see what a clown the SECDEF is. Let's get a SCOTUS ruling on this.

The SECDEF confirming an investigation to the world and labeling an individual under investigation as being part of the “Seditious Six” is unlawful command influence.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

And the real funny thing about that is the public schools in Fairfield County, CT (my alma mater) are better than private schools in most of the rest of the country, but still not good enough for them.

Monday Premium: The 12.7k word Hater's Guide To NVIDIA: how it makes money, how millions of GPUs are likely sitting uninstalled, and how its entire future relies on companies raising hundreds of billions in debt.

Here's $10 off annual.
edzitronswheresyouredatghostio.outpost.pub/public/promo...
NVIDIA's Future Success Is Predicated On The Ability For Everybody To Keep Feeding It Tens Of Billions Of Dollars Every Quarter, Requiring Endless Debt, Space, and Actual AI Demand To Exist Here are some thoughts I have had: A 25MW data center takes about $1 billion, with $600 million of that being GPUs - 200 GB200 racks, to be specific. It needs about 20 acres - 100,000 square feet for the data center, roughly. NVIDIA sells about $50 billion of GPUs and associated hardware in a quarter, so let's say that $40 billion of that is just the GPUs and $10 billion is the hardware, so around 13,333 GB200 racks. I realize that NVIDIA sells far more than that (GB300 racks, singular GPUs, and so on). Deep-pocketed hyperscalers like Microsoft, Google, Meta and Amazon representing 41.32% of NVIDIA's revenue in the middle of 2025, funneling free cash flow directly into Jensen Huang's pockets... ...for now. Amazon ($15 billion), Google ($25 billion), Meta ($30 billion) and Oracle ($18 billion) have all had to raise massive amounts of debt to continue to fund AI-focused capital expenditures, with more than half of that (per Rubenstein) spent on GPUs. Otherwise, basically anybody buying GPUs at any scale has to fund doing so with either venture capital (money raised in exchange for part of the company) or debt. NVIDIA, at this point, around 8% of the value of the S&P 500 (the 500 leading (meaning they meet certain criteria of size, liquidity (cash availability) and profitability) companies on the US stock market). Its continued health - and representative value as a stock, which is not necessarily based on its actual numbers or health, but in this case kind of is? - has led the stock market to remarkable gains. It is not enough for NVIDIA to simply be a profitable company. It must continue beating the last quarter's revenue, again and again and again and again, forever. If that sounds dramatic, I assure you it is the truth. NVIDIA's continued success - and ability to continue delivering outsized beats of Wall Street's revenue estimates - depends on: The willingness of a few very large, cash-rich companies (Microsoft, Meta, Amazon and Google) to continue buying successive generations of NVIDIA GPUs. The ability of said companies to continue buying successive generations of GPUs. The ability of other, less-cash-rich companies like Oracle to continue being able to raise debt to buy massive amounts of GPUs - such as the $40 billion of GPUs that Oracle is buying for Stargate Abilene. This is becoming a problem. The ability of unprofitable, debt-ridden companies like CoreWeave, AI "neoclouds" that use the GPUs they purchase from NVIDIA as collateral for loans to buy more GPUs, to to continue raising that debt to buy more GPUs. The ability of anybody who buys these GPUs to actually install them and use them, which requires massive amounts of construction...and more power than is currently available, even to the most well-funded and conspicuous projects. In simple terms, for the debt markets to continue propping up its revenues, because there is not really enough free cash in the world to continue pumping it into NVIDIA at this rate. And after all of this, Large Language Models, the only way to make any money on any of these GPUs, must prove they can actually produce a profit. Per my article from September, I can find no compelling evidence (outside of boosters speciously claiming otherwise) that it's profitable to sell access to GPUs. Based on my calculations, there's likely little more than $61 billion of actual AI revenue in 2025 across every single AI company and hyperscaler. Note that I said "revenue." Absolutely nobody is making a profit. The NVIDIA situation is one of the most insane things I've seen in my life. The single-largest, single-most-valuable, single-most-profitable company on the stock market has got there through selling ultra-expensive hardware that takes hundreds of millio…
