Business rent is way too high on Mag (not Miracle) Mile so companies are just shuffling around. H&M moved two blocks down the road to save cash.

He's blaming "murder and crime" in one of the safest parts of the city because the real problem is "landlords." Almost like that's the whole gambit.

Call in the troops to solve the commercial real estate crisis in our swanky downtown cores

You can’t make this shit up, folks
The Miracle Mile Shopping Center in Chicago, once considered our Nation’s BEST, now has a more than 28% vacancy factor, and is ready to call it quits unless something is done about the murder and crime, which is prevalent throughout the City. CALL IN THE TROOPS, FAST, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! “Just the News”

Tim Kaine on backlash he's getting: "I got the first good night's sleep last night that I've gotten since Oct 1, b/c I wasn't worried about being able to look Capitol Police in the eye when I walked in, or what a furloughed fed worker would say to me at church, or what somebody would say about SNAP"

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Petrified ham!
Ham-shaped stone with label reading: Petrified Ham, Found in the Cellar of Ruins of the Old Harman Blennerhassett Home From the June 22, 1889 St. Louis Post-Dispatch Found a Stone Ham. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH PARKERSBURG, W. Va., June 22 — Amos Gordon, one of the owners of the historical Blennerhassett Island, made a discovery a day or two since. While excavating along the edge of the Ohio River, one of his workmen unearthed a solid stone-like object in the shape of a ham of solid meat. The ham was perfect in every detail, showing plainly the layers of fat and meat, skin and bone, and every indication of a well-appointed, select quarter of a thoroughbred hog, but when found was a solid piece of stone. What caused the transformation is mere conjecture, of course, but the circumstances and condition of things showed that it had lain where found for many years. Gordon has been offered an exorbitant price for his stone ham, but he refuses to part with it under any consideration. The ham with a small sign reading: This leg-of-ham-shaped natural rock formation, part of the Stahl Collection, still has Professor Stahl's original label on it that states it was found in the Blennerhassett mansion's cellar. An 1889 St. Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper article (posted above) clearly gives a different story stating that it was found along the island's riverbank. Despite its origin it remains an interesting curiosity.

As we speak, big tech is hoarding masses of GPUs, and by extension, masses of depreciating assets that will without fail lead to a massive impairment loss, which will come directly out of their earnings, and when they’ve spent tens or hundreds of billions of dollars on GPUs, these impairments will be extremely harsh, and come directly out of earnings. So, on top of spending hundreds of billions of dollars in capital expenditures, big tech is also conjuring a giant anvil above their heads. GPUs start losing value the moment you buy them, and by purchasing hundreds of billions of expensive, ever-rotting assets, big tech guarantees their revenues will take a hit sometime in the future, and likely multiple times as each generation ages. Let me put it in really simple terms, and use a hypothetical example. Ten companies bought $10bn of GPUs each to sell AI services, each requiring billions of dollars of data center infrastructure to go on top of them to make them run. As a result, one of the companies — let’s call them BallWeave — has had to take on an absolute shit ton of debt to buy them. BallWeave eventually runs into solvency issues, and has to start selling off masses of GPUs, massively reducing the market value of these GPUs by 30%. This causes the other 9 companies to have to take an immediate impairment — a $3bn haircut directly off of their balance sheet. There is no spreading it out. This is a problem, in part because $3bn is a lot of money, and in part because that’s more than the revenue being generated from AI. The impairment has an immediate negative effect on their assets, while also directly eating into their income, because this shit is almost certainly being financed. This hypothetical scenario is quite real, and it can hurt you, and will hurt any and all companies buying masses of GPUs. One last thing: Remember how I said that there are many ways to calculate depreciation over the useful lifetime of an object? Well, the depreciation rate is always the difference between the initial value of the item and its salvage value — which means how much a company can expect to make when they dispose of the item, either by reselling it or literally scrapping it for parts. So, for the sake of illustration, if a GPU costs $50,000 and has a useful life of five years, after which it has a nominal salvage value of $10,000, the amount said company could mark down as depreciation over that lifespan is $40,000. This is simply me talking out loud, but I worry that there’s no real way to accurately predict what that salvage value of an enterprise GPU will be. It’s contingent on a bunch of factors — namely, how long these cards last in real-world conditions, where they’re experiencing near-constant utilization, as well the pace and the quality of Nvidia’s future releases. It’s bad, and only compounds the fact that they’ve already created a giant, ugly, unsustainable hole on top of their earnings.

r/ExpectationVsReality u/Additional-Simple858 • 3d Join Al 'doctor' said my back pain is depression, not a slipped disc. Now physical therapy won't get approved. Al Expectation We are reviewing claim #& submitted on 09/28/2025. Our records indicate the claim was filed under diagnosis code F32.9 (Depressive disorder, unspecified), while the corresponding prescription and referral history list treatment for lumbar disc herniation (back pain). Re: Incorrect Diagnosis in Record Hi Thank you for reaching out. We have reviewed your visit documentation and can confirm that the notes in question were generated using our Al scribe system. It appears the Al tool assigned diagnosis code F32.9 (Depressive disorder, unspecified), while your visit notes and treatment plan reference lumbar disc herniation (back pain). Per compliance policy, certain Al-generated fields cannot be manually updated by clinic staff and require vendor correction. We have escalated this to our vendor support team and opened ticket # . We'll notify you once we receive confirmation or correction from the vendor.
