Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
I don't understand the refusal to pay bills. I guess if you are a billionaire you can just ignore whatever bills you want to. Generally I expect that businesses pay their bills, but not Elon it seems.

Utah national parks
In Capitol Reef: My favorite hikes were Cassidy Arch, and Rim Overlook (4.6 miles RT from the Hickman Bridge trailhead) which had a fantastic view at the end. Panorama Point/Goosenecks were also pretty near sunset and very easy. And +1 for the pies. I did not have to rush too much, I was able to do a hike in the morning and then get a pie as a post-hike snack, though I had to settle for rhubarb one time. Last June the road was under construction which made it kind of a PITA to drive (you might have to wait 15 minutes), but you could get wherever you needed. I mostly did not think too much of the places I ate in Torrey, but I did like the Rim Rock Patio, which had open seating under the sky and fire pits to keep warm in the evening, and sometimes live music. The food was not memorable but the setting was cool. They were open a little later than the rest of Torrey which seemed to close about 9 pm. In Canyonlands: The Island of the Sky area is easy to check out, you can drive the roads to the viewpoints, and pick which short hikes you want to do. Aztec Butte took you to an old Anasazi granary, and I thought Whale Rock was really cool, but all the short hikes I did were fun. The next day I went to the Needles area, drove to the Elephant Hill trailhead, then hiked 6 miles RT to the Chesler Park viewpoint and back. That was a really cool hike with varied terrain, slickrock, climbing up and down rocks, through narrow cracks, cool views. The trail is often only visible by the cairns so you have to pay attention a bit to stay on trail. In between Torrey and Moab, I checked out Kodachrome State Park and hiked the Panorama Loop Trail, maybe 3-4 miles, also with cool views, and little shade. Mid-May is probably a good time. I went mid-June last year, and it was way too hot, at least at the start of my trip. I was 'escaping' the hell-heat from Austin then, and when I got to Moab it was even hotter there. I liked Moab Brewery in town. Moab is a lot more fun to check out (and way more walkable) than Torrey.

Southwest or every other airline in the history of the world?
Yea, the not reliable is new to me too. (So Brisket, they haven't lost me yet.) I haven't flown them since the pandemic, but I remember consistently that they were usually not that competitively priced, but sometimes they were, and those times they were a little quirky but fine, and I never regretted flying them.

What the fuck is wrong with you, Southwest Airlines?
Would you sit in the airport for most of a week before taking Spirit?

Gold bug / silver bug / numismatic / metals thread
Don't know about CleverNickname, but the term "junk silver" is often used for the 90% silver coin that used to be used in the US, that is not in nice enough condition to be collectible. So, quarters/dimes/halves from 1964 or earlier.

A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
Yeah, this is some kind of money laundering. At first, it all sounded completely ridiculous (as you would expect), but after even all the Trumpers said this was ridiculous, and then they all sell out immediately (even though it seems very hard to actually download them), there is funny business going on.

Markets still falling like whoa
This. The zero interest rate environment that we have had for about a decade and a half now, is not normal or healthy. It meant that savers got jack-squat in returns, and there was all this capital chasing any kind of return which led to all kinds of crazy things like crypto. I am of the opinion that avoiding a recession is more critical than avoiding inflation right now, but much of the interest rate increases is really things getting back to sort of normal and not really trying to slow things down.

Sea Skua has supposedly just been replaced by an upgrade (Sea Venom, I think), so they might just have them as surplus not quite disposed of, and it could be effective against small ships. But it does seem to be a rather old weapon design, and you need the right radar for it.- Русский корабль - иди нахуй

This. We have a tournament game where we need a win, and anything that distracts from that should not be on the agenda. I am no fan of the Iran government, but all that USSF should have to do with that is claiming all 3 points tomorrow.- Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]

And then you will need a software developer to do the very strict and unambiguous specification of the requirement. And then you will be back to exactly the result of every software writing automation system that has ever been developed (over probably 40+ years of trying). Namely, there needs to be a human software developer to specify exactly and unambiguously what you want. Only this time, you will be working with a system that has much inferior tools (like debuggers) than the programing language that you just 'eliminated'.- MUNDIAL XXII

Nice! Make sure to pay your respects to Sobek beforehand.- Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
I don't either, but in one way it is actually better than how Elon handled it. Supposedly they sent out 'you still have a job' emails to twitter emails, but 'you are let go' emails to personal addresses. That is petty. If I am being laid off, that moment of being let go is my last official task for the company, so the corporate email is still appropriate. Ideally of course you would get told in person then don't necessarily need email. At least in this fake (main hint: it says 'THIS IS REAL'), he got the news as an employee.- Halloween bullshit
Makes sense to me.- Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Yeah, while Elon will try and make up some BS as cause for firing them, it will in fact be BS and with no substance. With normal peon employees, he might get away with that, but I suspect Twitter's General Counsel will understand how to work the legal system on this one. The employees that are being laid off immediately, and the timing for this is also to avoid some bonuses (stock vesting I think), may have more challenge in navigating the legal system.- Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
I didn't mean that Musk bought Twitter with literally the cash Twitter had on hand, but there is $13 billion that is now in the pocket of Twitter shareholders (as of this morning) that Twitter, not Musk, is now responsible for paying back.- Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
I don't mean the cash that Twitter has on hand. I mean the $13 billion in debt that Twitter will be responsible for, that is part of the purchase price.- Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
The whole buying companies with the companies own money is really kind of strange. I imagine that Elon will lose plenty of money out of this deal, but other people will lose a lot more.- Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
I don't think that Musk has completed the acquisition yet. (At least, it was reported that at the time Musk said that he had closed, in fact he had not.) It is completely on brand that he fabricated the claim that the deal is done, of course. - Русский корабль - иди нахуй
