[03:11:15] login what ass?

[03:11:37] login what about a flat white?

[03:28:04] login it's not as if the brain is still forming at 17.99 but stops changing at 18.01

[03:28:10] login early-life alcohol can affect brain development

[03:29:02] login they couldn't release Phat Girlz today

[03:29:34] login I wonder if C.T. has tried microdosing alcohol

[03:39:04] login why haven't the bags deflated from absorption of moisture?

[03:40:02] login or, if vacuum sealed, re-inflated due to moisture release

[04:33:20] login MatCat: import it from the wholesaler

[04:33:38] login ComputerTech: buy some 8 TB external disks

[04:34:08] login MatCat: the alcoholic beverage

[04:34:26] login alternatively, "buy in advance from the store" and procure a discount

[05:15:31] login how is the interest rate new-zealand banks offer to savers?

[05:39:04] login But the reserve bank of new zealand is offering banks 5.25%

[05:39:06] login https://www.rbnz.govt.nz/hub/news/2023/04/official-cash-rate-increased-to-5-25-percent

[05:39:14] login So they are making money off of savers too

[05:41:13] login why? it's too expensive

[05:41:41] login money determines who gets how much of our world's finite resources

[05:41:47] login including space ride seats

[05:49:28] login but a falcon is not single-person pilotable

[05:49:34] login and you also need the dragon module for humans

[06:52:03] login you forgot to say "don't look up"

[07:10:55] login if both of you are barely conscious, then is it consentual?

[07:10:58] login *consensual

[07:25:48] login that means your waist size is smaller now

[08:21:23] login it's okay if you make an L

[08:21:46] login ... shape with your body while landing

[08:22:12] login yes

[08:23:43] login tandem skydive

[08:23:57] login jumping out of the plane was scary

[08:24:43] login it was okay after that

[08:25:07] login it's loud on the ears

[08:25:17] login i didn't expect it to be that loud falling through air

[08:25:40] login if you do it too many times, you'll lose hearing

[08:57:17] login some one-liner quotes: twitter.com/0x49fa98/status/1035963147918630917

[09:01:57] login also, this news article: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/heat-that-led-to-libor-fix-came-from-the-top-f3k0bsgf8

[09:02:23] login another article on the same topic: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/rigging-of-libor-was-state-led-55xwsst75

[09:02:44] login When your government asks you to do something unethical, what do you do?

[09:03:13] login If you comply and later the scandal comes out, the government will throw you under the bus (put you in jail) to protect its own institution's reputation

[09:03:50] login If you don't comply, the others who are complying will "eat your lunch" and your employer will fire you for messing up

[09:04:28] login In effect, if the government asks you to do something unethical, you're already fucked

[09:07:12] login the traders who listened to the government and rigged LIBOR (london interbank offered rate) went to jail later

[09:07:41] login if they didn't, they would stand out from the rest of the market (that they assume had listened to the government) and that would be a losing trade

[09:08:37] login So, the government imposed a different consensus that one that would have been reached by traders absent the surreptitious intervention of the government

[09:09:28] login In the commercial world, if you find out your company is engaging in a massive fraud, do you whistleblow, resign, or go along with it? E.g., Volkswagon's diesel scandal or Japan's Olympus camera scandal

[09:29:30] login And here's the upcoming book (don't buy it, just read the description): amazon.co.uk/dp/0750998857

[10:34:51] login *different consensus than one that would have been reached

[10:35:35] login but it's margarine

[10:56:44] login Do women even buy bras from Victoria's Secret anymore?

[10:56:57] login Aren't they overpriced for what they offer?

[10:57:44] login Imagine MTailor but for bras: https://www.mtailor.com/

[10:59:28] login If only the rich spend money on 'rich stuff' that is made by rich people for rich people -- that's incestuous and wouldn't work

[11:00:02] login they either have to serve poorer customers (and make a profit per unit), or employ poorer people (and direct their labour)

[11:01:08] login Four countries that are not the US are where most of VS's bras are made: Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, China

[11:02:19] login If one were to import from a local manufacturer in one of those countries, the quality would be just as good

[11:03:29] login especially if you could get custom-measured

[11:04:09] login correct sizing would make such a big difference

[11:04:42] login MAGIC: you missed one

[11:04:44] login !bang

[11:04:47] login !bang

[11:26:21] login but her birthday isn't actually today right?

[11:30:29] login must be adoptive

[11:31:43] login methadone

[11:31:51] login don't get addicted to it, Syndus

[11:32:26] login i.e., top 5 people who have the most time to spend on the game

[11:33:37] login make your ping bot, Peorth

[11:33:45] login hi dumbgoy

[11:33:58] login have you seen tenet?

[11:34:12] login that movie is so stupid, but i liked the fight scenes

[11:37:38] login It breaks the Physics principle of particle equivalence... any material whose entropy is decreasing over time would have a negative temperature

[12:17:23] login Syndus: just savour the feeling of pooping

[13:09:55] login Australia might be the only country where their equivalent of the NSA - the Australian Signals Directorate, is the ASD

[13:10:00] login i.e., autism spectrum disorder

[15:13:23] login no gun, radio
