It's about the last post

I know that English is not your first language, so I'll help clarify: "most" is not the same as "last"... Sviatch!

Maybe we should write in runes to help him understand it!?

The winner of this thread will be a member of an alien race visiting this planet far in the future on a dead earth and developing a very rational love for playing cards. They won't speak English, but they'll find this site somehow still active on a server and will be fascinated. They will post, " florp blu flaunk jip trard Lotrek sacra flarn ploro?". Which translates to, " When are the second year Lotrek Patreon rewards being released?"

I'm not saying I'm winning based on post count, I'm just saying I'm clearly putting in the most effort. And we all know sunk-cost fallacy is a b...

Effort gets you nothing but a participation trophy.

Of course he can just make a post and then lock the topic - don’t remember any rule saying you had to play fair…

It's just a shame me and Allan are co-Admins...

On more important news: I've already won, since me awesome minifigures arrived today. Now onto unboxing them.

Hey, when are you going to show us the mini figs! Fascinating that Europeans have Sun Wu Kong figures. His legend is truly global!

Asap; when I'm home. Currently at work. The figures are from a Chinese brand though.

Figures are from becool; a subbrand of Decool. Chinese manufacturer.


They as well have a series with 24 Figures based on other Chinese tales. I bought these to check the quality before I'll buy a larger lot. Seeing how they turned out amd how unique they are compared to Lego minifigures I tend to pull the trigger on the big series.

Achsenmächte fleet is ready for world dominion.

Ship models look awesome - one of these days I will have to get one - should the deluge of pricey card projects ever end

Normally I'm not that interested in that kinda stuff but the building experience is awesome and in hand they really are impressive. I just need to get my faulty parts replaced but were too lazy to connect with the customer support of Cobi.

6 seasons and a movie!

PowerBall numbers delayed? Societal collapse imminent?

No problem with the Powerball numbers - I was supposed to tell them what the numbers should be yesterday but I have been swamped

If anyone here was the winner of the $1.9 billion jackpot, be sure to help sweeten the pot to make six-seasons-and-a-movie happen with Glover on board for the movie.

Just sayin'.

Recession considered, I bought a couple of CATIA and C++ (for Teamcenter) books to improve my skills. If you want to make yourself more valuable, you typically must do so in your 'free time', so I'm going to do just that. (I also bought a bunch of The Flash books for fun in my free time.)

Best investment is in one's skills for sure.

I don't know, puts on twitter seem pretty good at the moment...

Everthing does well at one moment, haha.

The snowflakes pretending to leave Twitter are providing drama that no fiction writer could create.

I find the antics of Elon as he manhandles Twitter into oblivion quite entertaining

Yeah, his complete lack of general business sense on this has been pretty entertaining. Getting to watch someone like that self destruct doesn't happen all that often.

Step 1, fire half the staff
Step 1a, panic over the ones you fired but needed
Step 2, send cold email giving remaining staff one day or less to decide if they want to take 3 months severance
Step 2a, panic over the ones who may quit but you need
Step 3, call in all remaining coders to give you first overview of system architecture - since you didn’t bother to understand that earlier - and ignore the fact that you still don’t understand any of the details

I might have done things differently…

Also fun to watch him go from “free speech absolutionist” to assuring advertisers that he won’t be doing that at all, and to see him go from “I don’t care about the finances of it, I just want to advance civilization with a public square” to his first meeting with staff that focused on turning Twitter into a paypal like payment system as the main priority (and of course the aforementioned dropping of free speech for profits)

Taking out the trash is a dirty business.

The likelihood that Twitter remains a garbage dump is high.

Twitter was and likely will always be a trash fire - just funny to see Musk thinking he can fix that while he makes it so much worse

One might think that he could have spent a bit more time sorting the trash before he simply turned the building upside down and shook it.
