Dark Mode for Firefox is decent.

It did break the Dropbox website for me though. Had to disable the extension to get the website to work.

“Hydrogen” by M.O.O.N. (from Hotline Miami).

Did you know that the US government keeps and provides access to a database of dad jokes on fatherhood.gov, one joke at a time?

You could also snag this full dad jokes database from kaggle which contains over 13k dad jokes.

Hope you both enjoy!

Office Politics

I found this record of their expenditures (filtered by word “consulting” in recipient’s name).

At least 1 million dollars’ worth in the 2024 election cycle, which is 4 years.

• Source.

So that gives us 250k a year. This is only accounting for expenditures in companies with the word “consulting” in their names.

A political consultant wins on average, 100-190k a year. That would give us one to two full time consulting jobs.

However, consulting firms tend to keep their senior consultants always (you can’t pull a good consultant out of thin air), and rely on the hiring or firing of their analysts, usually entry level, to do the extra grunt work that comes with increased activity… So your question about how many consultant-class type jobs it created would likely have an answer of 0 or close to 0. Entry level analysts, on the other hand, would cost 75K a year, giving us a total of 3 or maybe 4 if they’re super cheap.

It would be important not only to take into account the other companies that may be consulting firms, but what other objects of expenditure may have had to hire consulting services due to increases of activity… For example in the top paid companies within the 2024 expenditures we see the Democratic Party of Kentucky receiving $3.5M, some of that may have gone to consulting too.

It would also be wise to assume these full time jobs of analysts are only required for 1 year of the election cycle… which would quadruple our results, suggesting 16.

So if I had to guess?

20 maybe.

Just put a lot of salt in your coffee. Problem solved.

Wasn’t aware of that. Thx for sharing.

Np man. Thanks for mentioning it.

Yes. Yes it is.

Gratitude has demonstrable psychological benefits, you know…

This is a better article. It’s a CrowdStrike issue with an update (security software)

It’s a crowdstrike issue.

better article about the problem here.

Addiction, obviously! :D

Tim Dillon used to do that all the time.

As someone who used to work in a job that involved giving companies reports they paid for, I gotta say while large auditing firms will likely defend their reputation before the company that hired them, mid and small companies will just follow the paycheck. Doesn’t look that big to me.

this.

Yes, this was all meant to be taken literally and with 0 sarcasm. I’m sorry, but i cannot continue with this conversation. The supernova of brilliance that is your intellect is blinding me. Have a good day, friend.

No, not only is it completely 100% literally what i believe beyond any shadow of a doubt, i will tomorrow be presenting this image as my thesis for my PhD in political philosophy in Princeton. I expect minds to be blown.

So umm… where did you get that I agree with “the system” from? In your worldview marxism is the only possible critique to the current hegemony? I see you must also be extremely intelligent.
