First time was for crashing my motorcycle so I was in shock with a busted collar bone and a lot of bleeding.

This time I'm sick af. It's not the coof, tested negative. Strep test a couple days ago at the urgent care was negative but the nurse just took a swab to test again.

The doc doesn't think it's mono because I don't have lymph swelling in the expected places. Plus can you even get mono twice? I already had it once like 45 years ago. So if it's not any of those things it's probably something really bad.

Oh and I figured out I can make this machine beep if I hold my breath.

Post script: It wasn't mono and the strep swab came back clean again. The doctor said I just have some nasty virus that messed up my tonsils really bad then he cut me scrips for prednisone and percs and they cut me loose.

TIL that IKEA founder Ingvar Kamprad (who started the company when he was 17) flew coach, stayed in budget hotels, drove a 20 yo Volvo and always tried to get his haircuts in poor countries. He died at 91 in 2018 with an estimated net worth of almost $60 billion.

Let's do this Sneedman style again. Tessa Fowler is the femme du jure.

!coomers behave

My favorite anecdote about him: "Even though he had a car, Kamprad often used the bus. In fact, he was once refused entry into a gala because he had arrived on the bus. He had to attend the event to receive a 'businessman of the year' award."

He also liked to eat lunch at IKEAs, preferably before noon, when the coffee was free. Oh, and also, he was an active member of the Swedish nazi movement in the 40s

True to the region he grew up in, he was stingy.

!chuds it is okay to label an entire race as monetarily stingy

A lot of it is myth that he carefully crafted. He most definitely drove Porsches and luxury cars, lived in mansions in Switzerland, flew private jets. They peddled this story so that when IKEA really fricked up (cutting down virgin forests, using prisoners as cheap labor, etc.), they sent out Kamprad in a off brand suit where he yapped about being a simple man and that mistakes were made, blah blah, the media fawned over it and the issue forgotten.

Whatever all this haircut nonsense is

"Nobody needs $60B" and something about Costco

This concludes my effortpost.

The downfall of our favorite balldo-wearing cokehead lawyer Nick Rekietamine has had a recent development, as a leaked document from the Kandiyohi County Heath and Human Services has been published by a burner account on kiwifarms.

The leaked document, which claims his young daughter tested positive for cocaine with a hair follocle test, is believed to be a series of screenshots from a public terminal at the KCHHS office. The leaker then converted the screenshots to a pdf before being posted online. The document can be found here:

Nick confirmed the authenticity of the document on his stream this evening, his first on YouTube since his cokestream and subsequent arrest. He is still an r-slur

I did some digging on one of my favorite bicycles and turns out it was designed on a Mac in 1992. 90s were the best decade for computers AND bicycles and you cannot change my view

I have the non stepthru version of the Yale, I was wondering why they were advertising CAD design on the frame but it made sense when I found it was from 1992

The cover advertising blatant straggotry:

The French really know how to build a touring bike. This thing goes toe to toe with modern gravel bikes

This is Ontario spa owner Jason Carruthers. He was just ordered to pay $35,000 to a man pretending to be a woman because he said he couldn’t accommodate waxing male g*nitaIia.

We aren't going to mince words on this one. If your response to an editor adding a date to an article on Wookieepedia is to tell them you hope they and their pets die, you are not a Star Wars fan. Hate like that has no place here, and you are not welcome in our community.

Maybe people are just tired of the constant whining that appears in almost every online fandom."The pacing on XXX is too slow, and the dialogue is forced and unnatural, and everyone NEEDS to hear my opinions about it!" No, we don't. We don't care. Your well intentioned, highly logical, nuanced but negative take on a TV show is just more online negativity, and it's not wanted. (-10)

Angriest Comments

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

I will speak to my own experience with Disney Star Wars hereI think Disney has done a lot of good with Star Wars that tends to get ignored/overlooked. Generally due to over focus on shows that really are bad.Some of my favourite Star Wars media have come from Disney, and in turn my least favourite piece of Star Wars media has as well. Nuanced conversations need to be had, and minorities being in Star Wars properties isn't what's making the shows bad. It's just bad writing. But unfortunately there are some people in the community that seen inclusivity as automatically bad and therefore write a show off. Even if it's pretty good.I do hope as a community we can get past this. If you don't like a show, youre not forced by Disney to watch it. Just don't watch it, unsub from Disney+. Voting with your wallet is more impactful than whining on Reddit/Youtube/Twitter (4)

Hard agree. Even if you put a gun to my head I wouldn't be able to remember the plot of the sequels, but the Mandalorian (at least the first season) is one of my favorite pieces of Star Wars media.I think over-generalization is the biggest issue in the community right now. This obsessive "us vs them" mentality is doing more damage than anything Disney could do. There are racists who hate Disney because there's a black lady in Star Wars, but not everyone who criticizes Disney is one of them. Likewise there are people who call every critic racist, but not everyone who defends Disney SW is one of them.Instead of taking the time to notice these problem people and distance themselves from them, it becomes: "You (don't) like Disney SW? Me too, we are now part of a collective. Anything someone says about you must also apply to me." (1)

Speak for yourself. People should be allowed to have opinions and most shows and movies are not worth remembering in the long run. (7)

Absolutely, you're correct. Of course people should be allowed to have opinions, and express them. But you can't expect other people to care about your opinion. OP seemed distraught that no one was taking his opinions seriously. Even though he isn't one of the bad actors online, he still had important criticism to render. I was simply pointing out why he wasn't be acknowledged. Because people are tired of 'your' opinion.In my opinion that is (1)

twitter space is running now: https://twitter.com/MartinShkreli/status/1803830408473174363

“Pharma Bro” Martin Shkreli claims he is the one behind the DJT cryptocurrency (which is not affiliated with the MAGA meme coin)—and has alleged that his partner in the venture was Barron Trump, the 18-year-old son of Donald Trump.

Shkreli initially denied having anything to do with creating the token. Research firm Arkham then offered a $150,000 bounty to anyone who could prove the identity of the creator. Within hours, a crypto sleuth who goes by the handle ZachXBT claimed the prize. And shortly after that, Shkreli publicly took credit for the token.

In a private message allegedly sent to ZachXBT, Shkreli claimed to have “over 1,000 pieces of evidence I created it with Barron” but has not subsequently released anything conclusive. (The Trump organization did not respond to a request for comment by Fast Company.)

Shkreli doubled down on the allegations that Barron Trump was involved with the DJT cryptocurrency in a Twitter Spaces broadcast, saying he only assisted his “friend” Trump, advising him about the token launch. On that broadcast, Shkreli said he didn't have an active hand in deploying the token.

“We initially thought that having 70% of the supply in Trumps' hands was going to make sense,” Shkreli said in the Spaces event. “I'm not going to get anything because I'm not adding value. My last name is not Trump. . . . It would make no sense for me to get 50% or 25% or something like that. But, at the same time, I like Barron a lot. I kind of viewed him almost as a son figure. I just wanted to mentor him and help him. I helped him make a decision as to which college to go to. I just have been trying to be helpful and friendly as much as I can.”

https://twitter.com/_mackinac/status/1803521070219329618

Shkreli also alleged Donald Trump was both aware of the DJT token and claimed “I have receipts of Barron saying his dad approved it.”

Roger Stone, a political consultant with longtime ties to Donald Trump, took to the family's defense on X, saying “@realDonaldTrump and son Barron NOT involved in any way with $DJT.” Shkreli promptly began attacking Stone in comments, saying, “Roger Stone was barely sentient last I saw him,” later adding that Stone did not know Barron and intimating Stone was a supporter of the rival MAGA meme coin.

Throughout the drama, the DJT token has fluctuated wildly. It was down 6.5% on Thursday, but has gained more than 90% in the past week. The meme coin is still trading far, far below the seemingly competing MAGA token. The MAGA cryptocurrency is trading for just under $7.50 per token, while DJT is trading for $0.002806, per Coin Market Cap. (You would need 357 DJT tokens to have their value add up to $1.)

The public interest in the unsubstantiated allegations that Barron Trump (and perhaps his father) was involved in the creation of DJT has benefited at least one trader. ZachXBT noted that one of the large insiders at DJT had dumped $832,000 worth of the token recently. That account allegedly also holds significant amounts of the Shoggoth token, which is tied to Shkreli's Shmartoggoth.ai project.

Can someone explain to me what's the rationale of having no speed limit on German highways? How is this not massively endangering others?

Not even F1 allows cars to have a 100mph difference. The 107% rule prevents cars that are 7% slower from competing, for safety reasons. https://t.co/513J1clu9t
