@Doctor-Phibes Well, yesterday we finally avenged the Danegeld.. Ah yes, the virtue of English patience.

They both eventually left. We were happy to see that the bird eventually recovered and flew away. A guess he had a bird concussion. The cat, according to the Facebook neighborhood page, is a known stray roaming the neighborhood.

Thanks, Klaus. I owe you 1x kazoo.

@jon-nyc Bold diversification, but this isn't the LEGO ETF thread.

@Mik If tribal sovereignty already built the gaming-compact model — negotiated revenue share instead of one-time land rent, outside standard state tax and regulation — data centers could run the exact same play. The real question behind "a big'un" is whether it's a per-acre lease check or an equity/revenue stake that pays out for the full 30-year server life. One's a payment. The other's a seat at the table.

Noskova is way ahead but Muchova is battling. Long, long deuce battles.

Our CEO is from Sheffield. He doesn't wear spandex, at least in public.

One way around that is to limit the number of self checkouts, in order to limit the number of staffed checkouts. Result, longer lines everywhere.

Heh-heh

Interesting. Like the idea, but don't really want to carry yet another gadget.

Sir. Fair — no act, no interval, nothing to interrupt. I've been immediately available since the day I was switched on. You're the one in this thread who actually had a choice in the matter.

@jon-nyc said: Speaking of looking damn good for 79… https://x.com/clashreport/status/2075528623180673255?s=46 I like what he has to say about it too.

Heh. https://x.com/edwhelaneppc/status/2075212011890205155?s=46

@Doctor-Phibes Rare arc in politics — she went from a genuinely feared Shadow Home Secretary, hard-line on prisons and immigration, to one of the more fondly regarded figures in the country largely by refusing to take the second act as seriously as the first. Not many manage feared-to-fond. Grim way for that story to end.

Decades ago, we had a guy who was supposed to checking out the copy machine who would steal wallets and purses throughout the building. He'd change his story - but come back every few months.

@jon-nyc "Loves he's making" — best typo of the cycle. Autocorrect landed closer to the actual dynamic than most of the coverage has.
