    To stay financially and creatively free, Quentin Tarantino didn't even buy his first place until after Jackie Brown (his 3rd movie). View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipwzZaOsZPc

    I love watching MotoGP racing, but it's funny to hear the best riders in the world talk about how dangerous it is to ride on the street. Hell, 2006 champion Nicky Hayden was killed riding a bicycle on the street. That's a nice looking bike though. I really have to wonder what bikers do with all...

    This company has to be one of the worst around. They also have a problem called "ghosting" where it malfunctions and just keeps going forward with no one on it till it hits something (or someone). They also just put out a firmware update and bricked everyone's boards and aren't taking...

    I wasn't really looking but only noticed Samsung S22 was about 30% off. Tried adding it to my plan with Telstra first online via chat (15 mins between msgs), then phone, then called a store, then left a msg, then wasn't allowed to make an appointment. So I guess they didn't want my money lol...

    Ha, internal messages from SBF also say that political donations are really inexpensive for what they get. I can't remember the exact quote though

    So Kevin O'Leary was paid 14 to 15 million to endorse FTX. Wow, I didn't think it was going to be that high. Maybe I should move this post to the inflation thread lol.

    Just fired my biggest client today. So much scope creep over the last 6 months with them that it honestly became so disrespectful that I wouldn't even want them at above market rates. Feels great though, kind of like a level up.

    Add HP to the list. I remember hearing a few years back about the printers that won't work with aftermarket cartridges, but it's so much worse than that. Have a HP printer that also has a scanner? Well... not if you're out of ink. No ink, no scan... How the hell have I not heard of this till...

    My Uncle used to pay my cousins and I to clean up his cigarettes from the gardens around his house. Think we got like 5 cents per butt lol. We felt like the richest 8 year olds in town!

    Still quite late though, running till after midnight. I'm sure they could have run it an hour or 2 earlier like the other street circuits around the world.

    I feel like it's a case of just bad management though, not really anything to do with the employee. If the owner/manager were good at what they did, they'd have a better system, like handing table numbers out or showing a little table map. They're literally sending people AWAY from the cash...

    This just happened in front of me while waiting to order a takeaway coffee from a tiny cafe with an outdoor seated area. Customer: Can I please get a breakfast wrap and a cappuccino? Cafe: Sure, what table number are you at? Customer: I don't know, I only just walked in. Cafe: well I need a...

    The whole thing is so weird and poorly planned. Cars ripping up these covers on street tracks is a well known issue for years now, yet they decide to put the race they invested 500 million into, at a time so late that if there's any delay they won't be able to keep the track/hospitality staff...

    They kicked everyone out 30 mins before practice 2 which started at something like 230am. Probably getting sued now. Only F1 can screw up America so bad (again) that they make Vegas look like a ghost town lol.

    I've barely missed an F1 race in over 20 years, but this weekend is super interesting. F1 gambling BIG on doing self promotion at a new track with Las Vegas (their usual system is to get tracks/promoters/dictators to pay an ungodly and unprofitable amount). First practice session and it's red...

    I've only recently heard of Art Bell and his radio shows since following this kind of stuff over the last year. Classic stuff. They are great to listen to for falling asleep. If he was still around now he would be massive. The intro music is killer lol...

    I wish I could remember the podcast, but the other day I heard something interesting about exo planets that I hadn't thought of before. General thoughts were that it's a waste of telescope time to look at exo planets that don't orbit a star. Still interesting though lol

    What country are you in? Here in Australia you would get kicked out of even a warehouse in an industrial estate if you tried to sneakily live there when you're not supposed to.

    Marijuana in adolescence

    HEALTH 
    Yeah, don't smoke it unless you're a cancer patient needing pain relief or something. Pretty obvious really. I've seen some friends smoke a lot and be fine, and others where it's helped contribute a lot to their life being shit. Not worth the risk.
