Please, allow me to show you how far I can pee. It's several feet more than you can and a much mightier stream to boot.

$13,000 in damage you say? Where have I heard that number before... [1]

Keep it real, Kyle. It doesn't seem like you learned anything from the failure of your last company.

I can't charge my car without my phone. Oh, also, I can't charge my car without the grid.

You might have it backwards. Trump 2 has been way more pro-SpaceX than Biden or Trump 1.

It'll definitely happen. After all, the collective hate for the oil barons 100 years ago put them out of business in a jiffy. /s

"Vase mode snap-fit box" sounds to me like "flexible concrete".

All the 22GB 2080 Ti are now $450-600.

24GB GPUs are $700-2500. Please show me the 64GB GPU for $1k.

$20 FPGAs have single event upset modules built in these days. You really think it's that hard to make a 2kB bootloader triple or quadruple redundant?

Bizarre. They don't care that eBay takes 14%?

A buyer can claim they never received it or that the box was empty, thus receiving a full refund.

For something listed at $25k I would not list on eBay at all. eBay corporate will pocket $3400 in fees and will also dock you local taxes on the $25k.

40-80 tok/s is unusable to you? Ok.

If you like having a box with 8-12 fans blasting hot air and noise into your office all day, nobody's stopping you.

The ones sold for $25k from established sellers are legit. Filter by "sold."

The 0-reputation account in Spain selling an M3U 512GB for $4200 is 100% fraud.

Rust is too mainstream now. Every Zig fanboy clutches to their heart the confidence that they are still a little bit "alt" in some way.
